I want to build a brick border around my trees and flower beds but I am not very strong so I need to know how to mix the mud to hold the bricks together as easy as possible. Also what do I have to do to the ground before I start?

I cannot turn off the sprinklers in the front! I did 2 times before, but this 3rd set of sprinklers (all the water supplied by the SAME fountain) but it will not turn whatsoever. The other times it did, but now it suddenly won't.

I tried the latch- it worked- until I realized it shut off the WHOLE ENTIRE HOUSE'S water.

Please help! My dad is gone for a week.

I dilligently filled in the dry spots on my lawn with soil and then new seed. then I watered well. After that I applied fertilizer and weed killer (scotts) that was in a white pellet form that burned the cut i had on my finger. As I was a little worried I decided to read the bag which stated clearly, use only on well established turf and not to overapply.

I'm freaked. Please help!

Our lot sits a little higher than our neighbors, and we had *so* much rain recently, that you could literally see the water pouring through the privacy fence into their yard. We also have problems with a bit of water on the garage floor when it rains a lot. Are their any plants or shrubs that might help eliminate this problem??? We live in Zone 6A (South-Midwest US)

I had these plants pop up in my flowerbed and in the grass nearby. They are bulbs, the ones I saw were about as big as a green onion. The leaves are skinny and long and look almost like grass. The flowers are white with 6 fairly skinny petals and a yellow center. They do not droop like bells, they are wide open like a childs picture of a flower. I live in Ohio and they just started blooming about a week or two ago. I've looked online and in books and can't quite figure out what they are. Any clue?

I had have a lucky bamboo tree for like 8 years now. The leaves at the top are turning all yellows and dying. It seems like it's infecting the whole bamboo itself. I would like to know how can I turn it around to being healthy again. Thanks in advance.

I have a Dracaena Massangeana that is having a lot of problems. It had one good “stalk” coming out but almost all the leaves have died except the tiny little new leaf in the middle, but that hasn’t shown growth in months. The “stalk” itself is becoming dry and brittle, but still some greenness at the top. The trunk itself is soft to the touch, which I know is a bad sign. I had gotten excited months ago when from below the soil (near the roots) another “stalk” came out. This is still healthy, with some leaves, but has not grown at all.

It is around 20 feet away from two large North windows in a very bright apartment. I had watered it regularly until it became sick, but I’m scared to over water it now.

Can I save this plant? How? Should I just make cuttings of the two stalks instead? Please be very detailed. Thanks!

can anyone here explain any characteristic differences between the Blueberry and Huckleberry shrub? Its too soon to tell by fruit and number of seeds. Anyway, to my eye the two look so similar. Also, do huckleberries need to cross-pollinate to set fruit? Thanks!

I am not an avid gardner by any means. I have about 7 different pots that i buy flowers for every year then put in the shed at the end of the year. My question is...can I reuse the soil in the pits from last year?

I just dumped the pots out in a bucket...can i hydrate that soil and use it in the new pots? With the dead flowers in it? Should i mix it with new soil?

Again...i am just looking to pot a few flowers...nothing fancy at all.
