Garden & Landscape - October 2006

Hi. I have a couple hibiscus planted in my flowerbed on the southern side of my house. I live in Southeastern Oklahoma.

It's supposed to get close to freezing tonight, so do I need to bring them in?

What's the best way to overwinter them? Do I need to repot them for the winter? Will they do okay in a garage? Or should I bring them inside where it's warmer and where there's natural light?

Do I have to soak the acorns in hot water and then keep in moist sand and peat mix for two weeks at 18 - 21 degrees and all that rubbish, or do I just plant in moist sand and peat and let the acorns just grow? How do I do it? Same question on how to grow a Walnut tree from walnuts?

This may not be the right section to post this, if not i'm sorry. . .
Someone told me that you could use ash to fertalize your garden, but I can't find anyone to back that up.

So what are some good uses for fireplace and grill ash?

Is there a specific way to germinate them and make sure they grow correctly? Do I have to pierce a conker and then soak in water and then plant in sand and peat mixture and wait? Please explain the best way to germinate conkers and how long before I see any results.
Thanks

My new place in Canterbury, England doesn't have an enclosed rear garden due to a fence never being erected. Do I need planning permission from the council to erect a 2 metre high fence at the edge of my boundary with the public pavement?

I am about to lay a new small front lawn which has beds on two sides, paving on one side, and a new path to the fourth. I'm looking for something to keep the lawn separate which is practical but not the usual solution of say edging bricks. The total perimeter is relatively small and so materials cost for the edging does not have to be economical, but something creative, and preferably easy to fit and low maintenance.
