I know that my pond liner has a hole in it; the pond is about 4 feet deep when full, the leak is at about the 2 foot level where I have big rocks on top of the liner (I don't think the rocks punctured the liner, I've had the pond 5 years & have not had any problems up until now) & don't want to move them all to find the leak! Its a slow leak! With winter coming on shortly in MN. I don't want to bring all my koi inside & wait till the spring to fix the leak What can I do to find out precisely where it is? Someone suggested spraying milk around the edges to see where the leak is; not sure if this works for slow leaks! Any ideas would greatly be appreciated!

Thxs,

Are there any products that will help prevent the dormant seeds from returning every year? Any old home remedys?? I have been fighting them for eight years since I bought my place. I have tried killing them with weed killer, digging them all up!?!?, burning them, nothing has slowed them down!! Every year they come back!! HELP!!!!

Open pallet for landscaping that is wooded and very wet. I have also seen deer tracks, so I need things that are deer repellent. There is standing water that I would like to try minimize with planting and or stone. It is filtered, limited sun area. I am planning on putting up a privacy fence to the wood line then continuing with a chain link in the woods (needed to for my dogs). Any ideas

This tree (a colorado spruce, I think) is around 40 feet high now. It's been turning brown gradually in the past 2 years. At first, I thought it was due to the inner needles turning brown, (die back?) but it has extended up the tree about 1/4 of the way up to the top. The branches still have some tufts of blue-green needles at the tips though. The upper branches are completely normal. The resin drips from the inner portion of the branches and from the trunk when we tried to help it by trimming the dead branches. A tree person came by recently and said there is a fungal infection. But he didn't make any predictions on how likely we are to save it.

We are doing our best to give it more fertilizers and water. We live in the San Francisco area, so the heat waves we've had this summer aren't helping.

Is there anything else we can try? How likely is it that more water and nutrition would work at this stage?

The traps are turning yellow and any new traps are turning black. Is it going dormant for the winter or is it something else?

I have two pine trees that I want to surround with various types of flower plants, (Hibbiscus, Ivy's, etc.) But should I buy mulch or fertilizer? I have some landscape fabric, but do I lay it down before or after the dirt? And how do I make sure that no weeds will grow?

Two of my zones are not working and I cannot find the valves that are connected to the two zones. I suspect that the underground wires may be cut or disconnected. Any ideas, tips?
