We recently had trees thinned on our 5 acres. Mostly pine, and some cottonwood. Many had been invaded by the Pine bark beetle and some just died, presumably because of drought and overgrowth. The person who did the work assured us it would look 'like a park' when he got done. I can't fault most of his work; however, these stumps raised all over looks terrible. And, I worry about the still present root system.

I've seen property that is parklike, and it seems obvious the stumps were taken care of after the trees came down. Do any of you foresters out there have a suggestion that won't cost a fortune?

To stop mosquitoes breeding in farm water tanks I think something was put on top of the water and it floated stopping the mosquitoes breeding cycle. I can't remember what it was and I am not sure if this stuff would adversely impact on the fish in the fishpond. I am also not sure if running the waterfall more would interupt the breeding cycle of the mosquitoes.

They put this small sign up in a lawned area of our park. When you walk over to read it, it says, Please keep of the grass during the winter. Has any one here seen any similar daft signs.

I have three young trees (lemon, Lime, and Orange) outside in my yeard. The lime has had many blooms, but no fruit has made it past pea size. The lemon has only had 3 blossoms in 3 years. The orange has not had any blossoms since I first planted it. I fertilize every ~3 months with a citrus fertilizer. How can I encourage fruit production? Also am interested in remedies for leaf miners.

I have twice as much lawn as I want to mow, and a tiny budget. I'm considering hardscape, mulch of all kinds, and plants of all kinds. What's cheap, expansive, no maintenance, and lovely? Ferns? Dendrons? Calling all gardeners! Thanks in advance.

besides just to make it look good and stuff, does it benefit your lawn somehow?

I recently planted about 20 winter pansies in window boxes, which had previously contained marigolds. Despite the mild weather, and ensuring that they were not allowed to totally dry out, only 4 have survived. Could it be that the previous flowers somehow affected the new ones?

Why do most landscapers use commercial walk behind mowers when the cost of a brand new garden or yard tractor is so much less? I was looking to start up a buisness and I found that a 8 - 10 year old walk behind commercial mower (32-48 inches) is the same price as a brand new tractor? Anybody with lawn mowing buisness experiance an answer would be appreciated. Thanks!

I am going to buy a fresh tree so was wondering if a hacksaw is the best tool to cut the bottom of the tree so I can put in on the tree stand.
