I am preparing three holes for planting. The soil I have struck is moist and cloddy, sticks to the spade etc.even though we are in extreme drought conditions. I don't have a leaking pipe,and when I water it forms a mini quogmire although it has drained away after about half an hour. The soil looks great, except for the clodding,I think it is going to need something to help create air and drainage. It is not clay, so do I use Gypsum or Dolomite. Thanks.

I live in north eastern Montana about 50 miles south of the canadian border. Temperatures during the year go from 100 degrees in the summer to 40 degrees below zero in the winter. I have a couple of Praire Spy trees that seem to be doing alright but I want to have the biggest apples possible in the shortest growing period. It has been known to freeze here up to May 20th and it has snowed on the first of June some years.

I'm not crazy. I love the color, the way it feels underfoot, that it doesn't need mowing under the trees where roots damage the blades. What does everyone have against moss anyway?

The answer? Sand.

This question has been asked numerous times at Orchard Supply Hardware and one of the employees has been sharing this ingenious answer for years.

Fill the holes with sand. They'll leave.

They are inexplicably displeased with this (perhaps because it cannot be effectively dug; keeps caving in) and will go to find a new home.

There is a large plant in my office that is too large for the largest pot that I can find and my boss wants it separated into two plants rather than just planting it outside. Its a (forgive me for ruining the spelling) shaflaira.

I clean poop twice a day, but it seems my dogs still get worms after they have been treated by the vet.

My girlfriend loves gerbera daisy's so I wanted to make her a planter of them for her patio for Christmas. I was going to just get seeds to start off, but I've read so much of how hard it is to start from seed so I wanted to start them from plugs. Anyone know where I can get some??

My cats absolutely love catnip. How do I grow the stuff in my garden? I live in South Africa on the East Coast and we have a sub-tropical climate. Good rainfall all year round except dry in winter.
