Theres a sucker (no roots) on a very established J. Maple out front here at my work place, could it actually establish roots with root hormone if cut from the mother tree, and how long will it take to establish itself and where should I keep it while this process is taking place?

I bought a semi-rural house late last summer on a wooded lot. The previous owner never removed the leaves and they built up over many years to a depth of 6 - 8 inches in some places. It was a mess to say the least. I spent the winter raking and burning leaves. Under the leaves is 2 - 3 inches of leaf mold and a lot of root mass. I'd like to seed the yard with grass but don't know if I should remove the leaf mold down to the bare soil first or seed the lot over the leaf mold and hope for the best.

If a silver birch tree has been cut down to half size and all branches cut off, what chance is there of it regrowing. Trespassing neighbours thought it would be a good idea to cut OUR tree down.....

I was wondering if there is a reason why it is advised to start growing plants from in a small pot versus starting the seeds in a large pot.

I have one American Beauty bush and it does great! Very fragrant, so I plan to plant some more, and I am looking for some suggestions for other good varieties, ones that are fragrant, big roses, preferably either red or sunset colors. Thanks!

My boxwoods had buds and then the new leaves of the season appeared. We then had three nights of hard freeze and all new growth is white, yellow or dead. Is it better to remove those leaves which were apparently affected (all the new growth) or leave Mother Nature alone. Is there a chance of regrowth this season or will we simply have to wait until next year? The yews which survived the freeze do have new growth since the freeze.

I planted anemones bulbs a few weeks ago along with some ixia bulbs. The ixia have sprouted and are growing fine. I am a little impatient and dug up the anemones to see what the heck was going on and I found that they had all turned to goo and there was no sign of germination. What is this, and what caused it? What is the best way to grow anemones?

they look black, like burnt wood. I always do the same thing every winter to put them to sleep.

I'm great at fixing things, but I tend to lack the ability to grow things very well.

I have a patch of dirt on the side of my house that gets daily foot traffic from kids and dogs. Fifteen feet wide, and fourty feet long.

I don't want or need a nice lawn as it's not a play area. I just want to cover it with something durrable that's green with minimal stickers in it, and fairly easy to maintain.

Sun, and shade mix. I was thinking about bermuda grass.
Your ideas?

I just spent $200 putting in flower beds and plants and now my neighbors cats are peeing on my flowers killing them and burrying their poo in the flower beds! What can I do to stop them without killing my flowers? They come out in the middle of the night and I can't catch them.

It seems they are guarding something in my back yard, but I don't see anything but grass and the house. No bushes or trees back there. How can I make them go away?

I can dig different depths and will only keep fish in it in the warm weather. Do I still need it to be at least 3 feet deep in the middle if I am not keeping fish in it over the winter?

We recently bought a new house, and last summer, the bees were awful. Those wasps like bees that build small nests were everywhere. All over the deck, under the eves, behind the sudders. Now that the warm weather is coming, I see them flying all around the house, probably looking for good places to set up their homes. Is there anything I can do to prevent them from wanting to build around my house??

I'm living in a Housing Association property. I wrote to the Housing last year complaing about my neighbours trees & over powering Landii hedge. Neighbour did eventual hack a few foot off Landii hedge & lopped one branch. I'm still not happy because all their trees are 4-5ft higher than my house, two were over hanging my roof & has ripped part of my gutter away. I've taken matters into my own hands (now i totaly regret doing) & have got a friend to cut off everything which was over hanging my boundery. My neighbours have now told me that its a conservation area & the trees have a preservation order. The Housing have told them to call the police, but they didn't, which i was very greatfull for. I'm now in real big trouble with my Housing Association & i'm not sure what is going to happen with regards to conservation area rules & preservation order. If i knew i was going to get into all this trouble & cause all this upset & distress, i wouldn't have bothered with any of this! Any advice?

How can we stop our pond water looking green? We have fish, plants, filter and pump. The filter and pump are cleaned regularly and we have tested the Ph levels (OK)?
