My renters let them get really tall. There are a couple of bare spots in them. Will cutting them shorter help them fill in?

They have already stopped blooming and are beginning to turn brownish yellow. Is it ok to cut them back now, or should I wait til it gets a little cooler?

My tree is planted in the ground and currently at about 5 feet tall. It's grown about 8 inches in the year that's it's been moved from a planter into the ground. I want it to grow taller not fuller. It's very healthy, has a nice shape and grows smaller branches horizontally. How can I get it to grow vertically?

Ive never really had any gardens as an adult, but I threw out a couple of plants and some seeds this year in a little patch of dirt off my deck(watermelon, eggplant, pepper, tomato and sunflowers) Unfortunately a bunny lives under the deck and has started to nibble on my football sized watermelon. How do I keep him from eating it before it grows up?

Ok so I have this oak tree I planted in a pot this spring. It is about 5 inches tall now and has 5 leaves. I have fertilized it and watered it the whole summer, but it doesn't grow bigger neither height-wise, nor width-wise. What can I do to make it grow faster.

Because this years oak saplings in the forest are already much bigger then mine.

the product was advertised as a decking type material to cover existing surfaces or as new style of deck. Am very interested in using this product but am finding nothing on the net or my original mag to search the advertiser. Help :)

Area = 25' x 20'. Looking for "dog friendly" material (read: easy to pick up dog waste). Thinking about sand, or clay material, like cat liter. But not sure cat liter would work outdoors (rain, etc.).

We'd also like the grass to be drought tolerant, green, low maintenance.

Voles are similar to the mouse with the exception of the tail. They dig holes throughout the yard and feed off of vegetation and fruit.

I have a regular fertilization schedule, Scott's recommended steps as well as cut the grass often. It seems to be heavy crabgrass and clover with some other weird looking weeds. The thisle seems to come back stronger every time we pull it at the root.
