I woke up this morning to a backyard that was all dug up. Just the turf was pulled back; no real holes were found.

I suspect a rodet was searching for grubs, so I laid down a bag of Grub-X, but am fearful the yard will still be subject to future nocturnal attacks.

Here's what my yard looks like: http://www.orlowski.com/yard/

I've seen ground hogs roaming around in the past, as well as stray cats. Some people suggest this is the work of skunks or deer, but I've never seen either ever.

Thanks.

Has anyone else noticed that all of their leaves are brown and shrivelled? (And yes...I do realise that it is autumn, and trees do that at this time of year, but they've been like that all summer through!)

Conkers seem fine though, so that's all right!

I have three avocado trees in office. They grew very fast in the first month, but suddenly stoped. How to take care of them? Should I water them a lot or a little? How do I recognize if they are male or female?

I live in New Jersey and I have an apple tree that bears fruit, but it is decorative in the back yard so I don't care if it gives fruit or not.

I'm in a brand new house that was initially seeded by the developer at the end of May. We are in an area with clay soil and core aeration is common. Since the grass is so new, should the lawn be aerated this fall or should we wait until next year?

i just seeded a new lawn about a month ago. this morning i woke up to find that someone drove through our backyard. it looks like they didn't rip up the grass other than it two spots. the big thing is that the soil was really moist from the water i've been using and it left a few nice tire track imprints about 2-3 inches deep. is there anything you can do for the imprints. it makes me so mad, but is there anything i can do or am i going to have to fill it all in with dirt and reseed?
