I have a couple oak trees that blew down on my property and I would like to have them sawn into planks and make a table. I have two trunks, each about 20 inches wide and 10 feet long. Solid oak. Please don't suggest yellow pages. Looking for somebody in Los Angeles County or an adjoining county who has a portable sawmill. You can email me through Yahoo. Thanks.

I can't afford a tiller, and if I rent one I'm not sure I'd be done before it's due back. Is there another (cheaper) thing I could do to turn the topsoil so I can rake the weeds out and plant new grass? (Besides digging it up with a fork! I know at least one person was thinking it! lol)

I have had a 3 year old bonsai tree since September and it did well until I went away for a few days around Christmas (supposedly a friend took care of it when they fed the cats). It hasn't been quite the same since, the leaves have started to black at the edges and fall off and most of the smaller branches are no longer green in the middle. I water it about 1/3 cup of water every other day or so, it's on a window so it has plenty of sunshine, I'm not sure what else to do. Is it indeed dying? Can I save it all? I'd hate to lose it, they're expensive to replace and was an anniversary gift for my wife...

I plan to lay a mulch border around my backyard. I will spray down weed and grass killer first on the area I plan to border off with mulch. I know that its recommended that a fabric be laid down under the mulch. That's not a problem. Will grass grow through the mulch without the fabric even after grass killer has been applied?

It is a full grown mountain ash and I want to nail some boards to it for my cats to perch on as part of an enclosure (with netting) My husband thinks we'll kill the tree if we do that.

Our Jasamine tree is dyinging we think. We just got it Two weeks ago. We live in So. California. It is on our balcony which gets only AM sunlight. For the first week that we had it, it did not get barely any sun due to the Marine Layers in the morning. We have been watering it every other day, is that to much? Should we move it into a bigger pot? It is in the same pot that we got from the nursery. There are no new blooms on it anymore. Does it dye then come back? The leaves are curling up too. It has not gotten any bigger. Please help we do not want it to dye, plus we paid $35 for it and we do not want to be throwing out money. Thanks

Our house is surrounded by bushes, and we're done with them. What's the best, fastest, easiest, and cheapest way to get rid of those pesky bushes? How do we prepare the soil to plant flowers and stuff. We are very lazy. And cheap.

over the last few days it has been coming up to the surface underneath the waterfall with its two front feet and mouth out of the water then staying still while the waterfall takes him away then coming back again and repeating the same thing. The first time I saw it doing this I thought it was dead as it stays still for a while. Why do they do this?

I am planting these in a line as a hedgerow. The information on the plants say they grow 2-3 feet wide. Since I want them to be basically like a fence (I don't want gaps between the plants), I'm unsure how far apart to plant them. Is it better to plan for 2 feet or 3 feet?

The bulbs were planted in groups, on a slope, 1000 feet up on Exmoor, in and around newly planted Oak, Beech and Ash Trees. The soil is neutral to acid, very well draining. The bulbs produce leaves each year, but no flowers.
