Garden & Landscape - May 2007

The pond is about 60ft x 60ft and it has alot of little bait fish in it (minnows, brim, goldfish). I want to know how to get rid of the alge/moss and hydrilla plants, but control the cattails. But I dont want to kill the fish or the willow trees around it. The alge/moss, and hydrilla go almost out to the middle and the cattails go all the way around. I tried to dig it out once before but they still growed back.

They are completely taking over, and Mom wants to use Roundup. I have heard that that doesn't really work with them anyway, but besides - herbicides! YUCK! Any other suggestions? How do I get rid of these things...before they get rid of my yard?

I live in a duplex with a small "flower bed" next to my front stpes. It's aprox 4 1/2 ft long and 2-3 feet deep. I want to plant some prety flowers there to make it more welcoming and pretty. Plus I love flowers and gardening. This is our first home and my first time doing anything like this, and I was wondering if anyone had some tips. I really have no idea what kind of flowers look good together or if there was anything fun and creative you've done before. i really love colorful and exotic looking. I live in northern Illinois and the flowers will be in direct sunlight all day long. And I don't havce a hose so if possible, know of any plants that do well with less water, seing as how id have to bring it outside is a water can or somthing. Any suggestions are more than appreciated, also if you know the best place to purchase the flower (home depo vs lowes or walmart) Thank you so much all for you help in advance!

I don't have any yet, but I want to do something to make sure they don't mess with my tomato plants, so that if they do come they will have to leave, any suggestions?

We planted two Japanese Maples last month and on the advice of people answering questions here, we used some root generator (or stimulator??). It has rained a lot here lately and we were wondering if we should continue using it for the first year or if it is good now...there ARE new leaves on both of them.

I'm getting ready to dig a big hole in my yard. I assume the safe this to do would be to have my underground utility lines marked, right? Who would I call to do that? Does ti cost money?

I have a small city yard (maybe 200 sq ft or less, haven't measured yet) that is badly in need of new grass. I'd like to lay sod. I know you have to dig up old grass, till, roll, etc., but is this something that I should hire someone to do, or can I do it myself on a weekend (renting equipment from Home Depot)? Also, are some types of sod better than others? (I live in Wisconsin).

I suppose one variety was grafted on the stock of another. There are gorgeous large flowers and clusters of smaller flowers, and the colors are completely different. Should I just let them grow together, or will this harm the plants?

Our backyard garden gets a good amount of sun. We want a plant that will climb up a small trellis about 3 feet high. We don't want morning glories. Does anyone know of any plants that worked for them personally; preferably that grow well in the Rochester, NY climate. Thanks.
