Garden & Landscape - March 2007

I live on a corner lot and for some reason people let their dogs pee on my landscaping (bushes) I have spent good money and I dont want them ruined by dog piss. I want the sign to be small and cutesy but to the point so that I dont need to yell at the owners
( PASSIVE AGRESSIVE)

My mother in law would like to use something comparable to Irish moss that can handle the full sun of Texas, can spread easily across border stones, can handle light traffic, and is pet-friendly. Has anyone had any success with these types of conditions?

I have the entries listed as such underneath the logo:

* Lawn Maintenence * Aeration, Seeding
* Mulch, Topsoil * Irrigation
* Plant Installation * Ponds, Aquatics
* Bed Preparation * Patios, Walks
* Plant/Tree Service * Seasonal Flowers

Do any of these entries seem like they could be changed or re worded or even deleted to make it better?

I have a small azalea that I would like to grow in a pot, similar to a bonsai. Will it grow in a pot in Arkansas? If so could I leave it our year around? It is central Arkansas.

I live in Texas, so I can't just leave it open to fend for itself. From what I've read, flies and crickets are too big and ants are poisonous. Any other suggestions?

We have a depression in our lawn with about a 3 to 4 feet diameter. We filled it in with dirt and put sod on top two years ago. It has gone back down, and we want to fix it this spring to prevent it from happening again. Is there anything different I can do this time?

I just got finished leveling out my front yard (it was pitted in spots, so I filled in with a truckload of clean fill mixed with top soil). Now I want to over-seed the summer lawn from last year to make sure any bald patches I created grow new grass. When can I do this? I'd love to hear from someone with professional gardening / landscaping experience, but if you are a knowledgeable hobbyist that is great, too! Thanks in advance!

I want to do the herbs in containers too. Should I get the plants already started and plant them in the pots, or should I get seeds and plant them in the pots? What about those herb growing kits that come with the seeds that are in these little peat moss pellets? Also, if I want organic herbs does that mean I need to buy organic herb seed or organic herb plant, or will it be organic either way as long as I'm not using chemicals? Thanks! Obviously inexperienced over here...

I just had 25 trees cut down in my yard. I noticed that several of them had large holes up the middle of the trunks. This includes several oaks and a sweetgum. The trees seemed healthy, and so do the others that are left. However in the past 5 years, Ive had 2 large Oaks Die for no appearent reason. Any idea why? What do I need to do to protect the others?

do you think it would be a good idea to plant dwarf trees on the steep enbankments on the highways and gravel roads? in a way that would not shade the farmers fields. also 1.00 seedling not government planted 500.00 trees.think of the free forest that would clean the air and also create rain. please pass this idea on. thanks

I want to expand my yard and flower gardens but I have so many blackberry bushes....I've thought about tilling the area, would this help a little or just for this year? In another area of my yard I've pulled them by hand, but the next year they just came back.
