because we have noisy neighbors behind our house. There is a short wooden "good neighbor" style fence between us, but it doesn't muffle anything out.

I'm thinking maybe something tall and bulky planted close to our side of the fence. Please include plant names, links to pictures if you have it, and any other information such as plant care.

Thank you for any and all ideas.

I just saw in a store little plastic bands that can be worn around the wrist or ankle (kind of like flea collars for pets) that are said to repel mosquitos. Has anyone tried them? Do they work at all?

Thanks for all your answers.

An apple tree was situated in the hedge between my house and my neighbours, it was difficult to say who it belonged to. New people have moved in and chopped down the tree, it was small and branches hung into our garden giving us apples. We were out one day and came home to find branches on our lawn and a note saying 'have chopped down tree, branch fell in your garden' is this acceptable? They could have trimmed the hedge back on their side of the hedge and left the trunk in the hedge and branches on our side.

I saw a very pretty bush in the trash - it looked like a hydrangea, but it might have been another variety. Anyway, I put it in water, since I left the root ball behind (it was a huge bush, I was taking it out of someone's trash pile!). I was never able to make it root - it's been in water for weeks, and it's still green - but now I've bred mosquitos instead of a healthy plant.

Any advice? Can I just throw it in a trench and expect it to possibly bloom next year??!

Hi... I read this article about christmas tree tinting and it claims that the coating that is sprayed on is merely a "sunscreen" that preserves the color, and "By the time a Christmas Tree is harvested around Thanksgiving and put up, the colorant is gone."

However from my research it appears that the colorant is actually dark green and "will not wash off, wear off, or fade in sunlight"
http://www.kirkcompany.com/grower_products/colorants.htm

"Prior to delivery, our pines are sprayed with a permanent colorant "
http://www.pleasantvalleytree.com/wholesale.htm

"Some consumers may object to the artificial color, but most demand it. "
http://www.ag.uiuc.edu/~vista/html_pubs/xmas/xmas.html (Ctrl + f "colorant")


So it looks to me like many species of Christmas trees are sprayed with a colorant that actually is like paint and not like sunscreen. Can I get some experts to verify?

I have two indoor plants (not sure what they are) that I have been desperately trying to save for the past few months. They both have bugs on them that I can't seem to kill.
The bugs look like tiny ants. At first I sprayed them with soap and water - nothing happened. I them plasted them with an insect spray I bought at the garden center - still nothing.
My plants are dying quickly now and I would like very much to save them - I have had them for over six years - on patio.
I see the tiny ant like insects crawling mainly on the stem. I don't see anything on the leaves at all - however - the leaf stem and the leafs turn yellow and fall off. It's like something is sucking the lift out of them.
I hate to lose these plants since I have had them for so long. I would like to transplant them outside but am afraid that will really do them in. I live in southern Texas.
Could the bugs be coming out of the soil????

Actually is a tree that is in the neighbour's yard but it shade is messing up plants in my side. I suggested to cut off some branches but my neighbour has ignored this. Now, I am thinking of solving the problem myself by killing the tree WITHOUT him noticing I did it. Any ideas?

I planted a wisteria bush about 3 years ago and it has never bloomed. I asked someone at a landscape place and they said I needed to fertilize it and cut all the new growth off. Well I did that and it still shows no signs of blooming. I really don't even know what time of the year to expect it to bloom. I am in zone six
