Unusual early little black bug.

This spring, these little black bugs were out very early. They seem to collect on the leeward side of impressions in the snow, as shown in the pic. Wondering what they are.

can grey snow mold be composted

I have grey snow mold in my vegetable garden on the cover crop. I raked out the mold patches. can I turn the crop over, can I compost the debris and return the compost to my garden or should I burn it?

when to treat

Gifted rock

I was given this rock as a gift. I have no knowledge on rocks,the person that gave it to me said that it’s made naturally from high winds in the desert somewhere,would you happen to know what kind of rock this is?

What. Kinda of rock is this???

Wonderin if this is gold.....

Silver flecks in rock.

Hi
I found this rock at the beach in Torbay. It is black and white tiger strips but is covered in silver flecks. I think it is stunning.

New Horse Pasture too soft

I replaced a horse pasture last year (Sep 2018). I tested the soil. Applied the required fertilizer and lime to correct the soil. I tilled the fertilizer and lime in about 4-6 inches. Planted orchard grass blend and ran a cultipacker over the seed and got a good growth/covering. The problem is that the ground is really soft. I have good drainage no wet spots. Do I need to roll the field again this spring?

Twin Ash Tree Problem

I have a twin ash tree that I just noticed has a gash/hole through the bark. My concern is that it might be emerald bores. I'm hoping it isnt because we really like the tree shade. We live in a wooded area and I do have 3 or 4 ash trees in the back of my house in the woods that are dead and need to come down. I haven't noticed any holes in them. What I could see anyhow. I am attaching pictures hoping you could tell me what's going on with my tree.

Sincerely,

Lois
