Garden & Landscape - June 2006

For 5+ acres of land with nothing but grass and weeds (no brush), which is better, a brush hog or flail mower? I hear the flail mower does a better job of mulching and gives a cleaner cut.

Any information will be appreciated.

Help! My garden is infested with these darn gnomes. I've tried weeding them out, pesticides, and having my dog pee on them. Nothing stops them. Any ideas how to get rid of them?

P.S. What about the pink flamingos in my neighbor's front yard? Can I kill two birds with one stone?

Ten or 15 years ago I purchased a tool that I can only describe as a Tiller on a Stick. It had a handle like a hoe or a rake, but the tool was comprised of three (maybe 4) rows of sharp spine-like blades that tilled up the soil. This tool was great for cultivating small areas, like the border of a driveway.

I cannot remember what the tool is called, so my Internet searches have proven unfruitful. I have not found it in my local hardware stores, Lowes, or Home Depot.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Ever wonder what sort of flower our spring/summer friend is? What makes it yellow, then make it a dust of tiny seeds blowing in the wind to populate fields next season? What is that sticky glue looking ooze when you pick the tuberous flower?

Pond is 50' x 60' and is fed by a natural spring. I would like it to remain natural and not put in a liner. But it loses too much water.
Is there a natural product that can be put on the pond bottom that will seal it?
Right now the pond is dry

My tomato is flowering, and it has been for almost 2 weks now, yet there is not a single tomato starting yet. The flowers bloom, stay open for a few days, and then they turn brown and die.... Do I need more than 1 tomato plant for it to make fruit? I thought they sold single hanging tomato plants at walmart and k-mart? so I thought I could do the same.

Well any ideas?

Thanks

Several years ago, I met a delphinium or larkspur that smelled like delicious vanilla frosting or vanilla poundcake! (I suspect delphinium). This is odd, because usually they don't smell at all. The flowers were white to off-white, but had a "pearlized" almost iridescent sheen of purplish-blue, but very faint. (It's hard to describe).

The plant was growing in the landscaping of a home I was writing an article on, but no one was around who could answer.

Ever since, I've been trying to track down WHAT particular species, hybrid, variety or cultivar this is, because I want one! :) Unfortunately, my own research has turned up nothing, and the nursery people I've asked don't know either.

Does anyone know of of a delphinium and/or larkspur that has a delicious VANILLA and/or CAKEY type fragrance? Thank you for any tips! :)

My husband and I bought our house from a person who loved bamboo. We have been living here for 3 years and can't get rid of it. Our whole backyard is covered with it. we try to cut it down and it grows back bigger and stronger. Whenever it rains it grows faster. We can't let our dogs out for fear the'll be covered in bugs. We can't see any of our neighbors houses on all three sides. When we cut it we have to stack it for the garbage and it spreads everywhere we drag it. Will any place buy it from us? Does anyone know how to KILL IT?
