I found this jelly substance near one of my trees. It is deep in the roots. I would like to know if this is some type of poison that can hurt my pets. I found this gelatin substance in my tree from far away, and it looks like broken glass - extremely shiny. When you get close to it, the gelatin-like substance is about a foot in the ground next to the tree. None of the other trees have this. It's just this particular one. I have two dogs and I'm wondering if this is poisonous, though it didn't seem to have an odor and it's clear.
It is difficult to conjecture without additional information. What type of tree is this? Is the tree exhibiting any other problems or anything else out of the norm? Is the jelly actually touching the tree - if so, what parts of the tree? If the jelly is just on the ground near the tree, could the jelly have fallen from the branches above? Is the jelly absolutely without color? Do you have a photo you can share?
For all your great informationes, ¿Could we read them in spanish?
They are difficult to rake because they breakup and scatter. They are a yellowish color.
Can you verify the type of plant you are referring too?
This will help in giving you the best advice possible.
I am living in a flat apartment on 9th floor and having 1 balcony attached to my drawing room hall. I am loving lawn and willing to have a balcony garden actually. Would you please share how should I have lawn in whole balcony? Is it possible? Thanks in advanced!
I don't believe that this is a viable venture, but the link below may give you a grass area on a smaller scale.

I would also make sure you know the buildings codes and restrictions before attempting this project.
Good Luck!
My grass has died off over the winter. My neighbor has told me that I have leatherjackets in the soil, confirmed by digging up patches and fishing them wriggling about. Now, I have been looking at nemasys leatherjacket killer. It says that the leatherjackets start to pupate in May and June, so is there any point in treating them now? Can I go ahead and reseed/turf the garden and then treat it in August/September when they begin to hatch again? I need some grass!!!

My seeds start to develop and pass out. What can I do to my greenhouse to get production?
Make sure you are using a good soilless mix for seed germination.
Proper germination temperatures are needed along with continued warmth and sunlight for the seedlings.
Dampening off is a common issue with seedlings.
The links below have more information to help you get started.
