I re-seeded Kyentucky Fescue last fall and have a fair stand, however, mouse ear chick weed and other broadleafs are really thick. I wanted to spray for the chickweed and the broadleafs. I read on the lable that 24d was a poor choice to kill chickweed and also that I couldnt overseed for a yr following treatment. I fear large areas will need to be seeded when the bradleafs die. So what can I spray with to get these weeds and still overseed in 2 weeks?

I want to be able to transplant them once they are big enough, but I want them to be strong. They tend to grow very thinly. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I'm planning on buying a tiller. I was going to get a little $200 mini, but after thinking about it, I plan on starting new garden areas where grass is and also plan on cover crops in fall in vege garden (20 x 20 feet), so I think I need a regular size one.

I'm looking at TroyBilt with 160cc Honda engine. I want a size that I can use, not have to wait for my husband. I'm 5 feet 4 inches and weight 112 pounds. So, what size tiller won't drag me around the yard and make me fight with it.? Will I really be able to use this with one hand as they show in pictures?

I live in VA and we're going to build a pond. How do you build one and what kind of animals can you keep in them without going through too much trouble. And how can i try to avoid snakes from the pond so my dog wont bother it?

is it necessary to move the mulch from around the plant before putting the grains of fertilzer on it? and also she says not to put the fertilizer near the trunk of the plants because it "burns" them. Is it really a big deal?

I'm going to be starting a landscaping project, but I have no tools. I'm going to rip out some bushes and small trees, put in some grass and small shrubs and plant a flower garden. What are the 5 or so tools that I absolutely must have to have the basics covered?

I have a rather big garden, I have a butterfly and hummingbird garden, a veggie garden, and my kids have their own garden, not to mention the 3 rose bushes that line the garage and random flowers and plants around the perimeter of the yard. I feel like I am wasting water. I set my sprinkler up in each area for 20 minutes, that is almost 2 hours of watering! I love my garden but I would like to conserve water. I cannot afford anything too expensive. Does anyone know of any easy yet practical ways to achieve proper watering while still conserving?

I recently planted about 500,000 wild flower seeds on a hill side (about 5 days ago). I thought that winter was over but now the weather channel is predicting about 2-4 inches of snow (IN APRIL)...will this kill the seeds and stop them from germinating? I am in South Western PA if that helps. The temperatures are going to be in the high 30s low 40s for that day and like 2 days after but will be going back up to the 50s and 60s after that. Is there anything I can do to stop them from being destroyed if infact this little snow storm will kill the,?

The garden is 30ft by 16ft. half shaded for most of the day. The lawn that is down is mossy to say the least.
My husband and I both work so would prefer low maintenance.
I was thinking about a majority of pebbles and patios interspersed with planters with raised beds. Can anyone suggest good plants that need little doing to them that will cope in shade.
3/4 of the garden is shaded most of the day.

Many Thanks

I have two 6 year old grapefruit trees at the 3000' elevation in Arizona. They normally yield 75+ fruit each winter.

This past winter we had the worst freezes on record. The trees lost about 30% of their leaves afterward. I gave them their usual meal of citrus fertilzer in early March as normal.

The trees have come back stongly and have terrific new leaves but have not blossomed. No fruit.

It appears I will have no fruit at all next winter. Ideas?
