Sapsuckers left lots of sooty mold on treetrunks. Would a power washer remove some of the black and not injure the tree?

Rules and regulations regarding freeze drying store bought candy, like skittles. Do I need a license? Can this be done at home to sell?

Our backyard has a bog that we are trying to manage in a restorative way if possible. The problem is that it is the lowest point in our city block in Winooski. Despite the presence of two fully grown curly willows and numerous wetland-loving plantings, it has just gotten wetter over the past year or so --- it almost dried out (other than the trenched areas) once last summer, but has been almost a mud pit ever since. There is a city storm water drain a foot or two away in the neighbors yard that takes some of the water. Help!

Last summer I planted violets in this shady area to hopefully out-compete the garlic mustard and the pennsylvania pellitory. Just this week I see lots of this plant. Can you verify it for me please? I hope it isn't creeping bellflower. Thank you.

Where do I send in my soil to have it test ph levels and nutrient levels?

Would you please identify these 2 plants. The one seeded itself and might even be a weed. One with yellow buds is a perennial early bloomtime

Do I need to fertilize viburnum shrubs and spirea

Hello,

is the 

Aquilegia Vulgaris native to Maryland - specifically Frederick?

I am looking for the best way to kill a large area of turf grasses in my drainage ditches (6ft wide x 70ft long and 11ft wide x 56ft long) so that I can replace with native plants (preferably from seed to save on cost). Could you suggest the best way to permanently destroy the grasses that is also environmentally friendly? I was debating about doing the back-breaking work of turning over the turf, versus placing newspaper/cardboard/mulch and waiting at least until June before applying compost and sowing the seeds. Also, could you recommend a place to purchase native seed packets for a large area? One final question, I collected some native seeds last fall and have kept them in the fridge. Would this fall be the best time to sow them so that they can go through stratification? Thanks for your time and expertise!! ~Natalie
