I have a long sidewalk in front of our corner house and want to get an edger to handle the grass growing over it. The gas edgers look nice but they're expensive. I saw there were a couple different types of handheld shovel-type edgers that I can use manually . Are those worth it or should I just go ahead and get a gas edger?

Hi, I need a hedge or bush that will provide some thick cover from the neighbors as I'm sitting on my front porch steps.

I need something that is EVERGREEN, and something that GROWS FAST IN FULL SHADE. The hedge or bush musn't exceed ten feet in height. I'm thinking of something about six to eight feet when matured, and nothing poisonous or thorny.

Any answers?

My husband and I would like to make our yard and the area around our front porch look nicer, but neither of us know much at all about landscaping and need the advice of good "green thumbers." We would like to spend an upcoming weekend making simple improvements that make a big difference in the overall look, and want to see how much we could do with $200 as a budget. A little more info: we have a LOT of mulched areas with NO "ground cover" (I think that's what you call it) and so weeds can get out of control (there is no "edging" either). Any recommended plants that would look nice and be easy to maintain? Or can we somehow make grass there? Any good flowers that would be durable? Our front yard has a good amount of sun during the day. Any help and ideas about spending the $200 to make a NICE improvement are GREATLY appreciated! :o)

I need some suggestions on flowers that do well in part sun. Also they will be potted ( live in apartment). Last year was my first time gardening, it didn't go so well. Any info would be great!

I just don't see what difference it makes if they are in the ground or in the pot.

It is about a 2 acre yard, so digging them out is not an option. There are hundreds of them!

I'm new to the world of planting trees. It looks like bugs are getting some of my new trees. I have Dogwood, Peach, Live Oak and Ash trees that are fairly young. I am really concerned about spraying them because of the danger to ME! What do you suggest I use?

my 2 year old son found a caterpillar about a week and a half ago, he would not let me put it on a tree to let it be he had to keep it. I honestly thought it would die because it was not in his natural habitat. well i was wrong. i gave it fresh leaves every day and cleaned out the container we are keeping him in and he stayed alive. he started making his cocoon last night just with some silky web that was hard as a rock, then this morning while getting my oldest ready for school, i noticed he had made the entire cocoon. i was just wondering how long this whole caterpillar to butterfly change will take as i want to make sure i am here so i can let it free when it starts to hatch or whatever it does. i do not want it to die. my oldest is so excited about it and would mever forgive me if it died. anyways thanks to all who answer, Holly

Any Lithop lovers out there? I just bought my first two Lithops today at Lowe's...they'll probably die, but such is life, trial and error, etc etc.
If you've got any advice, let me know. I have done quite a bit of reading and joined a lithops yahoo group, but maybe you've got some secret tricks or something?
