We "greenified" a slice of land in an urban semi-industrial section of New York City. Planted a bunch of stuff last fall...shrubs, tomatoes, eggplant, onions, a couple trees, grass, etc. Huge success...the sun gets the credit, not us.........this plot gets full sun all day long!! Questions:
-Can we compost in some way the weeds we've pulled out?
-Should we prune the russian birch tree that we planted? (we planted it 14 months ago...it's a relatively young tree, but not short...about 12 or 13 feet tall already
-The grass is really dense and luscious green...can we leave it dense and long?(that's our preference).... or is it neccessary for the health of the grass to cut it? Thanx in advance for comments!
