Garden & Landscape - February 2007

A few years ago, one of the greenhouses I go to had one patchouli plant that was ordered special, then the person didn't pick it up. I had it about a year, outside in zone 5. It did well until a freak snow. It died. I have been searching every where???? Anyone?

I have an indoor houseplant (a little tree). I have recently repotted this and it is no doing so well. See pics below for example:

www.rwfts.com/plant1.jpg

I think the soil is wet so haven't watered since repotting. Today I tried topping up the soil a little and firming it a bit more. I watered again because the soil felt dry. I also misted the plant last night and again this morning.

I'd love any advice anyone has on what I can do to ensure this plant survives .

Can I use rail road tiles to outline a pond? will they create a health hazard for the wild life or fish? I know that they are in the enviorment all the time but will constant contact with water create a problem?

This Algae is attached to the side of the pond wall.I have tried Barley straw but that does'nt work. The filter system is keeping the water crystal clear & the PH & ammonia/nitrate levels are fine.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Why? I really like the magenta ones, but they always die on me. The leaves all turn yellow and drop off. I think that it's from crown rot. This has happened thrice. The white ones seem hardier. I don't have any problems with them. Do they require different treatment? I'd like to hear from someone who has been able to successfully grow magenta phalaenopsis orchids. Please advise me. Thank you.

I would like to start growing an Italian herb garden in my backyard. (Basil, oregeno, parsley, arugula, etc.) How do I decide which area to plant? Is is best to do this by container gardening or plant directly into the ground. I've NEVER done any gardening - just really like to cook with Italian seasonings.

Additionally, I would like to grow tomatoes. Any recomendations on delicious varieties?

I have a rather large plumeria tree planted outdoors in my front yard. I want to take as much of the plant off (for cuttings to put in my backyard) without killing the main stalk. If I cut all the branches off, will the trunk grow new branches or will it die? Also, the branches are quite long before it branches out, creating a very open, and not so full tree, is this due to too much watering? I have never really fed it other than Miracle Grow and not very often. It has grown about 7' in 5 years. The trunk was about 2" diameter when we moved in and it is now about 5" in diameter. I would apppreciate any help.

I've got starlings roosting in the tree in my backyard. They come in to roost every night and cause an incredible racket and defecate all over the tree. Anyone know how to get rid of them? I don't want to kill them, I just want them away from my house.

I currently have a brick patio in my backyard. The bricks are very cool and about 70 years old. I'd like to reuse them for a new patio I'm going to be building. What is the best way to remove the old mortar and restore the bricks?
