Garden & Landscape - January 2007

I know that the best time to water is in the evening or early morning so that it will not dry too quickly. In my case, I live in an extremely dry and hot area. We are in a new subdivision where most trees were cleared and there is little shade. After several months of fertilizing and watering, our grass is starting to come in better and it looks greener. I water the whole garden well every night but by 10 AM the next morning, it is dry as a bone. Is is ok to give it some sprinkling in the afternoon or will it burn it?

Does anyone know of any sites dedicated to green/recycled products like recycled milk jug fences. I am looking to make my life and home greener but cannot seem to find any sites in which to get me started.

I have 2 ceramic koi ponds that stand on 2 foot stands. 2 nights ago some animal ate all 11 fish. We think it was either a bird or a racoon. Is there any natural way we can protect the fish from the birds or racoons? Like will lily pads or other plants covering the water work?

My lawn in Northern california is a mixed type of grass. It has perrenial rye, bluegrass, creeping red fescue, and bermuda grass. The bermuda browns out during the winter and I would like to get rid of it. The rye does well both summer and winter and I'de like this to take over. Is there a herbacide or other method I can use that will eliminate the bermuda grass and not harm the rest? Thanks in advance.

I received a lush, bud laden gardenia plant for Christmas. I have it on a table in front of my sliding glass door. It dropped a few leaves initially, but has stopped that. The buds are turnign brown at the base & falling off. I thought maybe I was watering it too much, so slowed down. Then the leaves looked limp, so I watered it and it looked better. Is there anyway I can keep this plant alive? It is in the plastic nursery pot--should I repot it? I live in the Chicago area, so it can't go outside. What do you think?

My pines are yellow, but not dead. Being that it is winter, I was wondering if I gave them coffee (because of the acid content) if it will give them a boost before feeding in the spring?

I just moved into my home in florida and the grass is in pretty good shape but there are other people in my neighborhood whose grass is unbealiably bright green and thick looking. I have begun my sprinkler system on a 3 day basis but i was wondering if there is some special seeds and fertlizers to make it look like that. Thanks in advance for all your help

We have a grapefruit tree that produces every year and we have no use for the fruit. We would like to keep there tree as it is very beautiful in our yard. Any idea on how we could sterilize it to stop producing fruit, other than manually removing the buds before they are pollenated?

I took the seeds out of some fresh Jalapeno peppers I purchased at the local farmers market here in town. I brown-bagged the seeds and dried them out for the last 24 hours... How long before I can plant them? And, do I even have to dry them out, and what is the purpose of drying them out? Thankyou.
