**How to Get the Most out of Your Post**

Include a photo of the problem. You can upload to [imgur.com](https://imgur.com/) for free and it's easy to do. One photo should contain enough information for people to understand the immediate area around the problem (dense shade, extremely sloped, etc.). Other photos should include close-ups of the grass or weed in question: such as [this](https://img.apmcdn.org/e59917e749c5f375a5fa33722e33c5a525cd9d1a/uncropped/d6fdbe-20140709-creepingcharlie03.jpg), [this](https://plantscience.psu.edu/outreach/plant-id/images/violet.jpg), or [this](https://pics.davesgarden.com/pics/2010/08/17/vossner/0eb2a4.jpg). The more photos or context to the situation will help us identify the problem and propose some solutions.
