Garden & Landscape - March 2007

I have a number of houseplants that if possible, I'd like to keep in their current pots. Some of them are losing their soil so I was just planning on adding in more soil and trimming down the roots. I really don't want large houseplants and don't want to keep buying larger and larger pots if at all possible. I don't have the room for large plants nor do I want them. Can houseplants remain in the same pot forever? Can you simply just maintain them in the same pot year after year? If yes, what's the best way to go about that? Do I need to fertilize everytime I add new soil? thanks.

I love the idea of my kitty helping my garden grow, but I'm just not sure about the chemical makeup of cat ashes.

Please no rude cat remarks.

Mine are in a pot cuz I have an apartment. They have a well underneath so they never run out of water. I use miracle grow yet there is a white power forming on the soil. I sprayed it with a fungus spray, it come back. The flowers got afids on them so I used bug spray for plants as well. I moved them outside for the spring, and gave them extra plant food. They were in the house all winter sitting in a window. They also have Nats in the soil. Can anyone recomend products or remedys for these problems?

Is there anything that I can do to get rid of those patches that haven't turned green yet? Is the grass ruined or are those patches still dormant? The weather here has been between the 50's and sometimes up to the 70s and even back down to the 30's.. Any suggestions?

I have planted mango seeds a few weeks ago after I ate the fruit, and now they have started to grow leaves. Do they eventually grow fruits? If so, how can I take care of them from now on? I live in Southern California. It is warm and we get a lot of sunshines all year around.

Now that the snow has finally started to melt you can see gray fuzzy patches on my lawn. The area where it is, is not normally wet and it does get about 6 hours of sunlight a day. Will it go away on it's own, or do I need to do something to get rid of it?The lawn is only about a year old. Last year we did to much work on it to just let it die. I live in Northern Vermont if that is important.

I have several large plants that sustained some winter damage (ie:browning , frost-burnt foliage) but appear to be healthy, with lots of green growth, but on long, woody stems. These plants are literally 2-3 feet in diameter and have overgrown their space. Should I cut all the foliage off to get back to a digable root ball? If I do, will I lose this year's blooms? Or can I take the individual long stems, cut them off and re-plant them as they are? Please Help! Thanks!
