I have done some web research and determined the huge piles of dirt on my beautiful lawn are from a mole: volcano like, not horse shoe shaped. In the mornings, sometimes I can see the little dirt mounds moving - so he's an active booger. So far, I have thrown gas "bomb" (they look like giant firecrackers) into his ramps and runways. Yesterday he was active and I located the hole and direction of the tunnel and stuck a garden hose in there for 1 hour. The next morning, he mounded dirt on top of the hose that was still in the hole!! He's a terrorist. What can I do?

I have a shrub in my garden. It has evergreen-like leaves and rather large, round, red berries.

For a picture of the entire shrub:

I would really like to know what species this is. Any help would be appreciated.

I have over 35 houseplants. I put some outside in the summer, my problem is bugs are all over in the dirt. I want something that will get rid of bugs but WON'T harm my plants or the nutirients in the dirt. Any suggestions? I am open to home remidies and mass-production products. Thanks!

I have ferns that have taken over an otherwise nice bed of camelias and junipers. The ferns turn brown and die back in the fall making the bed ugly and messy. I have pulled them out, cut them back and used roundup(carefully),but in the spring, they come back and choke everything desirable out. How can i get rid of the ferns?

we are moving to a house with a huge backyard. But the front and back yards are depressingly devoid of shrubs and plants ans such. I want to liven the place up with garden plants. But I know its coming on winter - do I HAVE to wait for spring to get greeneries in pots or in the ground? Appreciate any help from you gardeners.

There are some publicly-owned trees on my property, and they block the sign to my business. I want to kill them without chopping them down or digging them up. They're only about 8 feet tall, and I need a method that is both quick and damaging, so that the tree will rot as quickly as possible, thereby forcing the city to pay for their removal/disposal. I have heard that pouring gasoline on the base of the tree would do it, or that cutting a ring in the bark around the base would do it, but i don't know if those are real methods or not, and throwing gasoline on the ground is an awfully environmentally-unfriendly way of trying to kill a tree, i think. Does anybody know a better way? Thanks, BZ.

We're thinking about getting a gazebo but don't know why. We like how they look but we don't know if people actually use them and whether or not it's actually worth it.
