Garden & Landscape - March 2007

I have been looking for work for general clean up. I do any work that requires moving heavy material, cleaning up toilets, attics, garages, and anything else that requires someone who you just can't seem to find to do the dirty work. Please, help me, I've been looking for work now for four months with no success. I'm a nice guy and I'll end up the dirty guy if you have clean up, oh, and I also do mowing lawns, and raking leaves, and sweeping up and etc etc, anything that requires physical work. Thank you in how any of you might help me.

I live in central Iowa and am anxious to start preparing my garden bed. I plan to roto-till to break up the clay and turn some compost in.
We've had a few days since the ground has been really wet, but I'm wondering if it's still wet but just dry on the top.
It'd be great if I could start now, but I don't want to muck up the roto-tiller (rental) with a lot of wet clay.
Can someone tell me how I can tell if the ground is dry enough to start digging?

I want to make a foresty area in my back yard, but I don't know what trees to plant and how to arrange them. I would like a software program that allows you to arrange plants to see how they would look. Does anything like that exist?

I have two cats that go outside and sometimes try to eat the grass.

The grass sprinkler is on a daily timer and if I go out barefoot they love to bite.

When I water my plant these little, tiny white or grey worms come out the bottom (no more than 1mm long). I am very annoyed about this, is there a simple home remedy?

I live in the South...central NC to be exact. My lawn is only a year old but growing pretty well so far. What type of fertilizer (e.g. 34-3-11) should I apply for this time of year? The growing season has begun and I want to make sure I get my yard going good!

My rosebushes are putting out new shoots. Should I fertilize them now or wait until they start to bloom. A couple of the roses barely made it through the winter and I am wondering if giving them some fertilizer now would help boost their growth. Thanks for any help.

My plants seem to be dying. Some are turning yellow, probably lack of iron, and others seem to be rotting. They are not in direct sunlight, only receive natural light coming into the house. What kind of plant food can I feed them to keep them alive and restore their health?

You can find this tree in the Mid Eastern States and into Ontario, and probably a lot of other areas. And what kind of Wisteria can we grow in these areas?

I live in a townhome with not too much yard, but enough yard that it needs mowing. The only thing I know is that I want one with a bag that holds the clippings. And that is easy for me ( a girly girl) to handle. Is there a combination mower/weeder?
What kind of mower should I purchase? Brand, Price Range, size?

I have had tomato plants in the past. They did pretty well. I want to move on to some other things. This year I want to plant tomatoes(burpee big boys is what we have done in the past) green beans and canteloupe. We have a few acres so space isn't a concern. I just don't know what to do. When should I plant? When do I pick things off the plant? I am feeding 4 people and want to can some of the fruits of our labor, for the winter months...of course not the canteloupe. How many plants should I plant? I really am just begining, any info would be helpful. Thanks.

My garden spot is over run with bermuda grass. I need to know what to put on it to kill the grass but let everything else grow. Even if I have to wait until next year to plant. I don't want anything that will sterilize the ground.

I bang on the window, have hung windchimes, and sent my small poodle out to "get um", but no avail, they are eating all the seed , 25 pounds in a few days, and scare all the others away. Can anyone give me some advice on how to keep the black birds away? My husband wants me to stop feeding them, but I just can't do it!

Help me, give me something to work with. I know you guys can help me.

THANK you all for any good hearted advice.

I have inherited some real estate last October. The land was vacant for over 10 months and by the time I got it the lawn was is a horrible condition. The St. Augustine Grass was infested with just about every problem one can find on the books: ants, weeds, chinch bug, gribs and thatch.

I have no experience but I am a fast learner and I would like to improve the lawn by myself. I have make couple of mistakes, by cutting the grass very short (1 inch) couple of weeks ago (now I have what appears to be brown dead circles on the lawn.

I would like to know if one has a calendar of what type of products to use, when is the best time to use the product. . . Something like a St. Augustine bible for Texas area.
