Garden & Landscape - August 2006

I had sod put down 2 years ago, now my lawn looks and feels like a minefield - little dirt mounds everywhere, fresh ones after a rain - I was told I have an earthworm problem - how do I get rid of them?

We have a large yard and garden. Deers, rabbits, and other pests can be managed. But, we now watch our step for fear of twisting ankles or sometimes total loss in the garden!

I live in south Mississippi. We bought a house and there are fig trees that obviously haven't been trimmed much (if at all) because they are well over 10 feet. I'd like to trim them down as much as possible so that the fruit isn't so high and I can pick it. I know that the fruit will only grow on new growth, and it doesn't matter to me if I have to skip a bearing season...I just want to get the trees back down to a maintainable level.

My kids say that the science teacher told them the roots on a plant are as long as the plant is tall. Assuming that is correct, if you cut the top of the plant, do the roots shrink?

For the past few weeks our backyard has been totally overrun by flies. I've thought maybe they're attracted to something, but they don't seem to be in one particular area. They are all over my cedar trees, the flowers in the garden and just hanging out on the grass. When myself or one of the kids walk out there you can see a huge cloud of flies lift off and then resettle again. We do have a dog but clean up the poop as soon as the deed is done, and always rinse the grass with the hose so the kids don't step in it and drag it through the house. I don't think they're hurting anything, its more of the gross out factor that makes me want to get rid of them. We bought this house 3 summers ago and have never had this problem before, and other than a few different flowers in the garden, everything in the backyard is the same. Any suggestions?

I bought a small fountain and I have 3 plants in it with 3 tad poles and 2 fish. I have a Pix if want to send me a message. I am worried that the water is not good water for my fish. My Fiance thinks that the plants are too much dirt for a small fountain or my water garden is needing an oxygen pump to keep the Fish alive. My mom has a similar larger scale water garden with a Fountain, plants and fish the only difference is she has well water and her watergarden is much larger than mine. So do I need an oxygen pump plus my fountain? Should I take the plants out? Or do you think I need to buy bottled water to put in my fountain; or atleast buy the chemical that takes the floride and chlorine out of the water?

My trees are spectacularly tall and I won't cut them down but I have heard that I have to add lye to the soil to neutralize whatever "acids" the trees are emitting. I would like grass around them and to also fertilize the trees themselves. I keep the pine cones picked up and I try to sweep the pine needles up every week.Any suggestions and help are greatly appreciated.
