We live in the Lake of the Ozarks area in Missouri. They are digging up my whole yard, especially the red bark around all of my trees and flowers.

What do other gardeners do? I have tried both ways, leaving them alone, no pruning at all, and I have also pruned them heavily thinking this will help to get bigger tomatoes?

We decided to try a new type of tomato this year and grew San Marzano from seed. They did terrific for the first 6 weeks after transplanting, then one plant began to have yellow leaves. Within a week, it was completely dead. We thought we had an insect problem and dusted, but another plant began to yellow, then another until all of them were dying. We've checked and don't find any insect problems at all. The plants appear healthy up until the day before they begin to yellow. We've given them consistent water. We replaced the first plant that died with a store-bought grape tomato plant, and it's thriving. We live in South Central Kentucky (USA) and have always have great tomato production in the past. Any ideas?

Is there an organic cure, or do I need to buy a poison?

All I know is how to take care of it which came on the card with the plant or tree but I don't know anything about the item itself. It was purchased at Sam's Club & by the picture, the trunk intertwines itself. Anything would be helpful. Thank you.

I am aware that these are poisonous to animals particularly horses and cows and mainly cause problems when made in to hay. I want to know what animals i can safely have on this land without causing them problems. Can anything stomach these plants as i would prefer them to be eaten down. There is little grass in this area and the horsetails have completely taken over most of the ground. I am at the moment at a loss as to what to do with it! Any sensible suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Why do you garden? What satisfaction do you get out of it? Tell me your triumphs and failures and what motivates you to keep at it, regardless of weather, naysayers and the like.

We just had an oval 12x24 above ground pool put in the back yard. Our yard is on a slope, so one end of the pool is at least a foot below the ground while the other end is level with the ground. I am unsure what to do with the drench that is at the one end of the pool and slopes to nothing at the other end. Do I fill in with dirt? With Sand? Or is that a bad thing, as I have read on some sites. I can't leave this big drench, it is a broken leg accident waiting to happen. Can someone advice please. Thanks

Well points (2) are 16 feet down -- about 8 feet apart. One year old. mostly for lawn sprinkler system and hand-held hose for flower gardens and vegetable gardens.

How do we solve color problem, which we believe is from hgh iron content in water?

Considering water softener, but not sure if it's cost effective. Town water is very expensive.

Or maybe there's a simple way to periodically clean 100 feet of fence both sides?
