HEALTHY TIDBITS Hortiscope: Most grasses need sun 
Q: We have an area of lawn that doesn’t get a lot of sunlight because of tall trees and a neighbor’s new fence. The grass is dying even though we water and fertilize the area. Some areas have been dead for years along the side of the house. With the new fence put up by our new neighbor, even grass away from the house is dying. Is there a grass that would flourish in really shady areas?

Hortiscope: Check label on grass-control product first
Q: A couple of years ago, we moved into a home that had a medium-sized flowerbed. The previous owner let it go, so it was full of weeds. We rototilled it and sprayed it with Roundup. We transplanted hostas, cone flowers, tulips and some other perennials. However, the grass has taken over again and we cannot keep up with it.

Q: I have 25 blue and Colorado spruce trees that I bought in containers. The trees grew about a foot last summer, but some are turning brown.

Should I get some insecticide and spray the trees? If so, what kind and how many times?
