Don't want to use sprays if possible
Tried making a net to pull it out with the tractor. Didn't work.
There is an insect I can get but don't know where to get it from.
Is there another competing water lily I could plant in the dam?
Any suggetion greatly received.

My teacher gave us all a seed, that we have to plant over spiring break. He will not tell us what the plant is, and the person that comes back with the biggest plant gets the best grade, smallest gets worst, and so forth. Any tips? would honey help? sugar? idk, just tell me what to do

This past October we got hit with a freek snow storm and our area lost thousands of trees. My crabapple tree is slightly damaged . One of the larger limbs is broken off, so should I keep the tree or cut it down? If I leave it it may be very lopsided and may not withstand another storm.

I have a few small houseplants, sage, oregano, thyme, etc that I've just started taking care of. The idiot that i am, however, thought it would be a good idea to take an old spritzer bottle of 409 and use that as a water spritzer on the plants.

I don't think I cleaned the bottle out enough.

Now my plants are wilted. I've started giving them clean water that seems to have stopped the wilting but they're not getting healthier either.

Any ideas on how to get them back up on their feet (or roots, as the case may be)? Should I trim the dead leaves (for the oregano I don't see any leaves that aren't in a bad state), put any plant food in there? I mainly want to make sure I've removed whatever poison I put in there.

collected some from waste land and put them in tank with pond and rain water but after a week they seemed to all drop and scatter to the bottom with not a lot of jelly, and the water has gone cloudy.
