My orchid was doing really well then one of the leaves fell off. A few days after that the blooms on one side started to droop and they fell off, a few days later all of the blooms on one side had fallen off. There are two blooms left on one side. What could the problem be? Is there anything I can do to save it/bring it back?

We have a lot of Black Widows in our backyard. It almost feels like their numbers have been increasing these past few years. Does anyone know if there's a natural and harmless spray or other agent I could use to get rid of them? I have small kids and animals and I hate to encounter them all over our backyard knowing what the risks are for my kids and animals.

I replanted them in a bigger container, and my kids filled up the thing with water. Now I have dirt all over the flowers and the dirt is nothing but mud. Can they be saved?

for example, to save space i decided to grow planets on top of each other instead of next each other. for example:

instead of this:
------- ------- ------- -------

it will be like this:
------- ------- ------- -------
------- ------- ------- -------
------- ------- ------- -------
------- ------- ------- -------

will planets grow normally like that?

I have small backyard I share with my nature-loving daughter. There are old rusty pipes that are too heavy and too deep to remove, so I covered it with a large pile of brush and cane. It is along a fence in a grove of young trees so underneath the pile is a mass of tree roots. I'm planning to put a mound of soil over it about 5 or 6" deep to hide it. My daughter suggested it would be a nice place for a fairy garden but I wonder, if I plant perennials or flowers that will attract butterflies, will they thrive in such conditions? What plants could I use?

We filled it about 6 months ago and then left it. then my dad chucked a few water plants in and our goldfish! They seem ok but the water really doesn't look healthy. Some of the pond plants have died too and have had to be taken out. What do you suggest?

in talking to a farmer about an area of my lawn that has at a very steep slope, trying to plant a ground cover that will help stop the quickly eroding soil, he mentioned a bio degradeable screen that is used by highway depts to help small plants, grass seed stay put while germinating and getting past the first growing season. dont know the official name of this product, but looking for any ideas as far as what it is called, and where to purchase. he said once my plants have had a chance to take hold, the screen will bio degrade. any help is appreciated..
thanks

I have many yellow jackets and wasps in my front yard. I have sprayed the one hive I found with Spectracide hornet and wasp killer but I still have them. I have watched their flying pattern and cannot figure out where their newest nest is. Any suggesting on how to kill them without paying the pesticide guy $50 an hour? Also are there any products better than other to spray with, possibly any home remedies?

I just bought a house. The previous owner left a pile of lime right on the base of a tree. I will be removing the lime asap. It looks as though it has been there maybe 6 months to a year. What can I do to help the tree? The top canopy is not producing leaves.

I have been offered a landscaping job but have never participated in a project of this size. Anyone know if there is an average price per hour that most landscapers will charge? How can I determine how much I should charge if I want to be fair, but of course, be able to get reimbursed for the work? The job consists of pulling out and clearing some existing garden areas, replanting new plants, flowers etc and then mulching the existing areas around new plants.

It survived the winter, its quite large. We dug it up and are planting flowers. We do not wish to replant the rosemary so what can we do with the herb? Can we clip it hang it and dry it? Can we then use it for cooking or is it better fresh? Will it dry ok hanging up? I hate to just throw it away.
