Green Jeans Garden Design is renting this 60 horsepower stump grinder for a day, which costs $500. I like to defray that cost among several clients, so please chime in if you have a stump you want ground--or if you know of someone who does please give them my number (Jim Kotowski 217-735-0573). Obviously, I'm not grinding immediately, but when enough people respond.

Something besides asters and mums to bloom in Fall: downy gentian. Full-to-partial sun, blooms blue Aug.-Oct.

I'm on two waiting lists to get ahold of some.

Green Jeans Garden Design is planning on renting this 60 horsepower stump grinder for a day, which costs $400. I would like to defray that cost among several clients, so please chime in if you have a stump to grind. At present I have three clients wanting grinding, having a fourth would make each pay $100 for grinder rental + $35/hr for my time, avg. $200-$300 per stump. Call Jim @ (217) 735-0573

I know everything is dying, and the flower blooms are mostly done--but I still think it all looks awesome.

Dig and plant one yourself--or let Green Jeans Garden Design* do all that for you, and be more greener. Er.
So far, no one's taken me up on my rain-garden services. But rain gardens redirect water that might cause troublesome flooding, or head to the sewers to be mixed with chemicals and poo instead of filtering down into aquifers, becoming cleansed, and recharging the water table. And, once they get established, they take very little maintenance (The rain waters them, the native plants crowd out weeds, etc.).

So it's official: Parkland has zero classes for me to teach this summer, but we mean to go on our yearly week vacation in Michigan, anyway. Not to mention that we need to eat. So Mr. K. has be be Mr. Green Jeans, and it's full-time gardening for me. If you know anyone who wants gardening services, I'll do whatever. Have truck, will travel. I have a soft spot for native plants and digging rain gardens, but any time I can spruce up a garden bed or replace lawn with pollinator-friendly beds, I'm happy.

Let's help out our fine flying friends! (217) 735-0573

Mr Green Jeans here! I still have a load or two available at cut-rate pricing!

Mr. Green Jeans has mulch! This is from a silver maple (softwood) mixed with elm (hardwood). I will load, transport and spread it.
