Garden & Landscape - February 2007

the care instructions say to add humidity by placing the pot in a dish with pebbles and water but dont let the plant sit in the water cause the roots will rot. so should i only leave the pot in the dish for a little while and then take it out?

The deck is 10' wide and 28' long. There are three sets of stairs, two short, one long. It's Trex decking. I need to be able to keep out skunks, racoons, woodchucks, and the family dog. I have about two feet between the ground and the bottom of the deck at the tallest point by the house. I have an area of about 4' wide by 3' tall to enclose too.

I have a large area that is 'irrigated' by what my homes sump pump pumps out after it has rained, or Spring is thawing the Earth. The water runs through PVC on it's path to the ground.

For Valentine's, I want to surprise my fiancee by leaving a rose in her car while she is at work. The temperature is supposed to be -12C (10F). If she leaves work at 3:30, what is the earliest I can leave the rose in her car and have it still last?

We just planted 11 Leyland Cypress trees, 15 Azaleas and a Fig tree. I realized that after the work was done that it's no longer going to be as easy as just cutting the grass as I have created a "weed-eating" nightmare for my hubby. I spent alot of money on the trees/shrubs and don't have alot left for borders around each tree. Is there something that I can use that is inexpensive to make this easier? Cut 2x4s? Cheap bricks? Any ideas? Our property is .75 acres; in zone 8.

I have a number of large potted plants on my patio. They were repotted with potting mix over a year ago. Just over the last few months I have been emptying my coffee grounds onto them. The plants are flourishing, however, they have started growing several sorts of really weird fungus - white toadstools and a hideous bright yellow fungus - growing out of the drainage holes. What on earth is in the coffee grounds to do this ? Should we still be drinking it ! It seems odd that, if the spores were in the potting mix, they have only started growing just recently. Any ideas ? And, other than repotting them all, how to get rid of the stuff? It is freaking me out a little. I have rather gone off coffee lately !

I've tried this in the past, and my plants are always thin and stringy- is it because they are fighting to get towards the light? How do I get their stalks "chubby" and strong like the ones at the nursery?

I have a lilac tree at the end of my garden which is growing at a fairly steep angle. This is great because it has grown into a natural arch and is also obscuring a horrible brick wall at the end of the garden. Should I be worried that it could eventually fall over? Is there anything else I can do to support it so that I don't need to cut it back?

This is for a friend who has inherited an old VW pick-up truck and has natural green fingers (as far as window boxes are concerned). She wants to try out being a gardener for a living, with the truck and a few basic tools, but she knows very little about the UK market.

What is involved in being a self-employed gardener? Are there any resources/ organisations she can take a look at? And what are the different types of gardener (eg, Landscape gardener surely does big-scale stuff, but doesn't plant flower beds, etc etc).

Is there a good book for beginners or a relevant UK class at night school that'd help?

Thanks a lot!

I have a huge oak tree which I don't want to cut down and so does my neighbor. They are beautiful, but the leaves are everywhere. Raking gets to be so tiresome. Are there any other options?
