I'm buying a new (self propelled) push mower and see that some now start with a key rather than a pull rope.

Have you ever owned a mower like this? Any reviews? Is the key start reliable?

I have erected a trellis fence so as not to look at my neighbours
unsightly garden.
Can anyone suggest climbing plants that will give flowers in the summer with foliage all through the winter.

I have a large backyard and is has numerous plants, tress, and flowers except one spot. There is one area in the corner of my yard that is approximately 6ft x 4ft and no matter what I plant there, it dies. Could the soil be bad in only that spot or I am missing some thing? What can I do to make the soil fertile, if that is what is needed?

My lawn, front and back total comes to less than one acre, say between one half and one third an acre. Do I really need a seed-spreader or would it be just as effective to walk around with the bag while throwing out the seed with my hand?

Thank you!

We live in NC and earlier this month we had a couple days in a row of hard freezes. Our crepe myrtles had already began to sprout new leaves but now they're damaged by the cold (withered and dead). What can I expect for this year and is there anything I can do?

I really want to make my own compost but I don't have any place in my yard where I can just pile up waste so I was wondering if I could make it in a trash can (like the ones used to put grass cuttings and twigs for the truck to pick up). If I do that then how should I start it and with what and how can I make sure that air gets in the bottom? Thank you all for your ideas.

I have a pampas grass which has now outgrown the area where it is growing. Is there an easy way to remove the root ball,as it is as hard as timber? It is about 2ft across You cannot chop the rootball. I have sawn the grass to ground level but want to take it out completely.A spade just bounces off the ball. Recomendations please

I have a 60-70 foot ash tree in my front yard. Due to the droughts and water restrictions in the last few years one of the roots has risen above ground. It's nearly 8" in diameter near the trunk, and reaches about 10', rising 3 1/2" above the soil. I've heard you can cut roots like this but I'm afraid the tree might topple during the next big wind. And I can't raise the level of my yard. I tried covering the root with soil, hoping the grass would grow over it but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

How many gardeners out there knowingly gamble on frost/freezing with tender garden plants and flowers? I'm 3 weeks away from my average last frost date, but would love to get me tomatos in now. The 10 day forecast shows that the coldest night won't be below 36F and I have row covers that can protect from light frost, but not freezing. I have had plastic mulch down to warm up the soil for the past week so that's not an issue. I've never risked planting tomatos before May 1 in the past, but I'm tempted this year in order to get them early and have a longer season. Should I risk it? Do you risk it?

I have a big spot in the backyard that is directly under a huge old bur oak tree. Besides planting grass seed and hosta is there some kind of pretty plant that will do good there?

I bought 30 Laurel plants to create a hedge. Planted, watered and fed them well, and now find the lower leaves are turning yellow. My suppliers advised me to cut them down by half of their growth above one of the many buds on the stem, this will cause bushier growth and should cure the problem. I've done this, and hope it'll be alright, but still wonder EXACTLY what might have caused this problem. I have watered them regularly, and they have been fed but not over much. Any Greenfingers out there with good sensible advice please get in touch. Thanks. Jan

Its 57 degree's outside and for North Dakota that is fairly nice this time of year and I never thought I'd say this being from the south, but I am so glad its "warm" [lol] anyhow my question is do you think if I took my plants {most deemed tropical} outside for a few hours they'd be okay? I keep my home at 70 degrees during the winter and no AC during the summer {dont need it here}

Dragon Tree
Gold Dust Croton
Mexican Palm

Are just a few I'd be putting outside for a few hours also a bonsi
