| Lichens are harmless. Look up your local cooperative extension office in your phone book white pages under "county." Take a branch and go see them- they will know what is going on. I have even sent email images and received very helpful advice. There is an office full of these people just waiting for property owners to come in and be helped. They have all manner of printed material on topics local to you and want to help- use them. Don't forget to get your annual soil test while you are there. |
