Last summer, moles devastated it. The lawn has numerous holes and bare spots and it is really soft underneath. You walk on it, and it feels like you are sinking. How do we fix this?

Also, a couple of years ago, we redid the whole lawn (roter tilled, new soil, new seed). But we did not do a good job. The lawn is not flat and is uneven with lots of bumps. How can we fix this?

I am looking for creative solutions. We do not really have the resources to redo the lawn again at this time. I just want it to be safe for the kids to run around in the summer.

Thanks!!

When I first bought my house, the grass was great, but last year I couldn’t afford to water it as often as the previous owners. This year I want my yard to be beautiful again. I have some weeds and bald spots but the grass that I do have is st Augustine. Please help!!

I would also like to plant some fruits and vegetables which can grow in pots and what kind .

I will have a garden and plant many flowers here and there around my yard... I've heard of using ammonia soaked rags where you don't want them to be.. can you think of something a little more appealing to humans.. UG! And do you think those electronic ( sonic) devices work and will they chase birds away.... thank you in advance for your input...

First of all, thank you for answering my question.

I have grown tomatoes in my garden but only using plants. Is it possible to sow seeds directly into the ground? Is it possible to much or use black poly to warm the soil and when should I sow the seeds for the northeast?

Does anyone know where I can buy a drum style soils spreader?

You fill the drum with soil, then roll over the area you want to apply a even layer of mulch or top soil, like when planting winter grass, and you want an even layer of top soil over the seed to protect it from temperature and birds.

Where can you buy these spreaders. I am not talking about drop or broadcast spreader!

I know it costs money to fix up yards. But what is a cheap alternative to fixing the landscape for your own yard?

I would like something that is child friendly for a 4 yr old child.

Books/websites references would be extremely helpful.

Thank you!

I tried to grow spicies like rosemary, sage, mint etc. But they died very easily. If I took the top of the plant, they would not grow back and become wither soon. Please give me some tips.

I have a big backyard, connected on all 3 sides to someone else's yard. The only few trees in the yard are right next to the house, leaving 200 feet of yard completely empty. What should i put back there that's reasonable and will give me some privacy?

I was thinking about planting evergreen trees around the fence line, but then what could be done with the middle?

\\Hemp is the ONLY plant where the males appear one way and the females appear very different, physically! No one ever speaks of males and females in regard to the plant kingdom because plants do not show their sexes; except for hemp. To determine what sex a certain, normal, Earthly plant is: You have to look internally, at its DNA. A male blade of grass (physically) looks exactly like a female blade of grass. The hemp plant has an intense sexuality. //


Is this true ? it doesn't seem to be but I don't know?

I'm needing plants/shrubs that can be planted in large planters. The reason I require these is to create shade for my Koi pond to aid in getting rid of unwanted Algae growth.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
