I've tried a couple, but they have trouble sticking when it gets real cold out. Has anyone had any luck using/attracting birds with these?

one wall is 17 foot wide and 6 foot high , the two sidewalls are 126 foot in length but vary in height over the length 5 4 3 2 to ideal level ? how do you convert ft and inches to metres ? ive been advised that its 60 bricks to every square metre.. ? will I need double or even triple skined walls to hold this much infill ? there is limited access due to being a terraced property ,access is only availible from a sidegate which is at the side of our neighbours house ?
could the walls be made up of breeze blocks ? or a n other ? both our neighbours gardens slope the same. ? I would infill with earth and rubble? what cubic metre of infill would it take to fill ? and the approximate weight would be ?
i would fill the wall height to be garden level ? then a 6 foot high garden fence all round ? so what quantities do you buy bricks in ? is it 60 bricks per square metre ? what would you pay for infill ? what does a bricky charge and how ,per thousand bricks or by the hour ? thanks ! M & J

our garden is 126 feet long and 17 feet wide. when you are standing on the patio area outside the conservatory doors,your feet are level with the top of fence at the bottom of the garden. therefore,over 126 foot the garden level drops 6 foot ? What gradiant of the drop from the top to the bottom of the garden ? I have the idea of having a brick wall built ,17 foot wide and 6 foot high across the bottom,and two walls built up the sides,these two walls would be 126 foot each ,then the measurements become more approximate than accurate ? (ALL MEASUREMENTS ARE APPROXIMATE) the two side walls would vary in height the closer you get to the patio area ,the walls would finish just short of the patio area . starting at the bottom of the garden the sidewalls would be 6 foot high for 20 foot length then 5 foot high 20 foot length then 4 foot high 20 foot length then 3 foot high 35 foot length then 2 foot high 30 foot length to patio area ,ground level ? homeowners,terraced,side access only HELP ?

Has anyone ever used Naturalawn. I have a small lawn, about 60ft by 60. They want to charge me $61 per treatment for a total of 7 treatments for the year. This seems really expensive. Is this worth it? Can I do this myself? I don't really understand what it is they are doing.

My ornamental cabbage have lost their attractiveness and are loosing leaves, even though it's still cold here (in Houston, Texas). Do I dig 'em up and throw them away? Is there some way to propogate them?

I live in Tennessee and see many things I like which are good for my climate, but am not sure that the local nurseries carry all of them , such as Achillia or Alyssus. Can you easily order stuff like this online and have it shipped safely to you for reasonable price?
does anybody recommend one?

The picture I have looks beautiful, and the foliage even looks good, but I was wondering what it looks like when it gets colder?
does it die back to the ground every winter in temperate climate?
any comments about it and how to grow it?

I am new to this term. What is a Rhizome first of all and if a plant , such as Canna or Salvia grows from Rhizome each year , what exactly does that mean? They die to the ground and reseed maybe?

what sort of product can i use to melt snow or ice that is safe for lawns AND animals. salt isn't good for either, sand gives traction, but doesn't actually MELT the ice or snow...

i am going to be tilling an area in my garden that will cover a fairly good side of my back yard and am wanting to pick out a good perennial to grow there. It gets partial sun (6 hours) and it is in a temperate climate . I have a leaning towards a Salvia called "Ostfriesland" (East Friesland) and it looks so beautiful. But I think it only blooms for the months of June and July, so would like to know from any garden experts, if it would be a good idea to plant something in with it to give that area of my yard extra bloom time. I was think of possibly just throwing some zinnia seeds among it or planting another perennial in with the salvia. Is this advisable? what other suggestions you might have?
I also like the way Alysum or Artemisia look.
Basically I want something that blooms good and for longtime which is elegant. And does not look just awful in winter time.

3. What is the best time to water my lawn? (eg. morning, noon, evening)
