I have some spots that are 4 to 6 inces of area that are turning brown. Do I trim it off, or leave it alone? Is this caused by too much or too little water? Plz help!

There is a large oak in the front of the house and it pelts the ground with twigs, leaves, and you name it - this tree sheds it - acorns, bark, and the whole doughnut. I'm in the South - Little Rock - and the soil is not the usual Illinois black dirt that I grew up with... this stuff gets as hard as dry clay tho it looks like a light brown loam to me and it certainly grows bushes and trees and WEEDS very well. The moss is green (or yellow-green according to the moisture in the ground) and I'd call it a club moss if I was forced to give it a specific name. I've tried more water... less water... light tilling and replanting with seed... chemical ferterlizers... I'm about out of ideas. Help.. help.. help. Please.

I hope you know what I mean. It's similar to the type of faucet pictured at:
http://www.sandspringsok.org/images/uploads/dept_04/faucet.jpg

As soon as I turn the water on, I get a constant, heavy spray leaking from the connection point. Having tried multiple hoses on the faucet, I have been unable to prevent this from occuring. It appears to be screwed on as tightly as possible.

Is there anything I can do to create an ideal seal to prevent water leakage?

Also, I don't know if it is affecting the water pressure in the hose, but it seems to be. How likely is that?

I live in Newark Delaware Zone 7a zip 19702 and decided to buy four camellia plants for the side of my house that gets some shade. After doing some research on the internet I decided on camellias because of their pretty winter blooms and because the need partial shade and are evergreen. Most sites said camellias were hardy up to zone 6 or 7 so I figured it would be fine. I just finished planting them, and decided to Google the breeds to find out a little more about them. Well, it looks like they are listed up to zone 8a only! I just finished planting them and plan to put a thick 4 inch layer of mulch on top to sheild to from the winter frost. Will my plants survive and still flower? Will they be too cold to do very well in my garden? The two plants I bought were Camellia japonica 'Professor Sargent' and Camellia japonica 'Nuccio's Gem'. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks again!

As far as cost, maintenance, keeping confined, and eating valuable plants, which are easier to keep, sheep or goats? I hear that sheep are a lot more delicate while goats are harder to keep contained and eat everything including garden plants.

Also, which one is a better lawnmower on acreage? I hear sheep are better at eating grass, while goats don't like grass as much.

Any information is appreciated.

Can someone recommend a good (safe) way to heat a mini-greenhouse. It really is not large enough to accomodate a regular small space heater or sun lamp without risk of melting the cover. It's 66"x40"x19". I should probably also mention it is on a wood deck. Thank You!

Can a person become ill from trimming evergreen bushes? My husband came down with stomach cramps and a bad head ache after trimming some evergreens at work. This also happened last year. Is there something in the evergreens that caused it? If so, what can be done to prevent it???
