Garden & Landscape - June 2007

Recently I patched up my front lawn and it was looking amazing. Then last week I picked up some Scotts Max-Weed,Feed, and Halts(Crabgrass preventer). Stupidly, I put down way, way ,way ,way more then supposed to and two days after large yellow spots have formed. Can I save the lawn?

Hi!
I am planting petunias and geraniums in round plastic pots with holes at the bottoms (for drainage).
So my question is do I have to put rocks down before adding the soil?
I normally do put the rocks down, and my flowers grow great, but I don't have rocks and was wondering if putting rocks is really necessary.
Thanks for reading and I hope you can help, have a great day.

Specifically, we have a 10'x10' area of (dead)grass that we want to use for a doggie duty area. Our thoughts are to dig out about a foot of the dirt and fill it with layers of some kind of sand and gravel. We also need to create a drainage system for this area. We know nothing of how to do this. Can someone point us in the right direction with books or websites or something?? Thank you!!

I had a friend that had huge pots of plants sitting on his porch. He told us they were citronella plants, and if rubbed on it, it would release the smell from the plant, and the mosquitos would leave you alone. I tried it a few times, and it worked. I have asked for this plant before and no one knows what I am talking about. Where can I find one, and what is it called?

I am looking for a list of some NATIVE plants, shrubs and flowers for my area to attract more wildlife. I live in Stoutsville, OH which is near Columbus. I am looking for something not too costly but native to Ohio. Any one have any idea. Maybe a berry shrub, a flower for nectar etc.

My beach house (on a rocky shore) has a greenhouse, and I was wondering what I can grow in that kind of climate (both flowers and food). Can you help me? If you have any helpful links that would be great, too. Thanks!

By the time my tomatoes are ripe and I go to pick them they are rotten on the bottom. No water is getting on them or nothing. Can someone please tell me what might cause this. I know too much water makes them split, but I don't know what is causing this.

I just got a warning from the city for my wonderfully weedy front lawn. What's my cheapest and most rapid way to get a nice looking green lawn being that I live in AZ and it's averaging 95 degrees 24 hours a day now?

We had someone come in a plant seed and put in straw about 3 weeks ago. There are still quite a few bare spots..Although the parts that have grown in, have come in pretty thick. I can't get ahold of the guy that planted the seed now to find out what we should do next.
Oh yeah, I live in Ohio and have been watering the grass about every other day.

I planted an avocado pit from the grocery store--the plant is now about five feet tall and about four years old. It has shown buds along the stem, but these have not developed at all. It lives in a Midwest climate, outside in the summer and inside in the winter. It continues to grow vertically while the flower buds remain dormant. What can I do to trigger growth in the buds?

My mother has two plants in her garden and she isn't sure if they are weeds (where she would be getting rid of them) or actual plants. We are just curious to know what these are:

I found these instructions on how to grow tomatoes upside down. http://webpages.charter.net/tomato/
I was wondering if it could work with other viney vegetable plants like peppers, eggplants, beans, melons, squash etc.? Also instead of growing them through a hole in the bottom, what about a hole on the side? Using the same instructions.

I have been told by many that my work is very beautiful and that I should go into business for myself. I love to design yards and I feel I am very good at it. I have never had my own business before so I really don't even know where to start. Do I need a licence for this? When and If I did start do I pay for all the lawn design and then charge them for it afterwards? How much does ones usually charge for something like this? I know it cost me a pretty penny to do my own yard.LOL Plus all the time I had into it. I built my own ponds, bridges, flower pots, Large and small driftwood decor, painted what ever needed to be painted, had several decor water pumps running, Large stumps of wood for some of the water decor pumps to sit on. I halled in lava rocks, river rocks, large bolder rocks for design, many flower plants, wind chimes, tie kie torches, indoor outdoor rope lights that swirled through the ground plants, ground ornaments, ground lights, green viens through the back fencing,ect
