Garden & Landscape - March 2007

I have added dirt, i have added egg shells i have added coffee grinds i have added cow droppings, and leaves.. and it is still 80 percent red dirt. thou most things grow, alot of veggies do not and die due to the fact that red clay becomes a hard pot around the roots.. Please any ideas would be welcome. I am in north carolina if that helps

I live in Georgia, USA. There was an auto accident. A car came flying through the yard, and then the tow truck came and got it. So the ruts are between 1 inch and 4 inches deep. Can I pour sand or top soil in, and gradually build it up over several weeks?

Moved into a house in January, the snow melts and I have 2 plants, 8 feet apart, maybe 14 inches tall.

Evergreen, solid green leaves, foliage looks like a holly, woody stems, but Buffalo is a liminal zone 6- closer to a 5. We're 1/3 mile off of the Niagara, so we're a slightly warmer microclime.

Is it a holly, do you think? (Guessing, no pictures, sorry.)

I'm from a zone 4, but I did school in Philly, and this looks like a holly.

I would like to apply something to prevent crabgrass without fertilizing my lawn. There is a small area I need to reseed. Any recommendations for that patch, too?

I am a beginner gardener that wants to grow rosemary, lavender, etc indoors. i know that those plants (especially rosemary) needs plenty of sunlight, but i wont be able to give it to them. It is out of the question to grow them outside because of all the bad animals out there (they eat and mess up everything!!). the only alternative is to plant inside. i have a shade house. sunlight doesnt come through any of my windows, and id have to walk 30 feet from my house just to get some sun. i would like to know, since i wont be able to give my plants the right amount of sun and heat they'll need, cant i just shine a bright lamp on them a few hours a day to replace the sun??? please help me out!!

I have a wood privacy fence surrounding my backyard and I would like to plant honeysuckle vines to cover the fence. I just wonder if anyone else has done this and what kind of luck they had with it.
