I have aquired a lidless compost bin. it is about 1 meter high and wider at the bottom than the top. I'd like to grow potatoes for a late autumn crop. Someone said you can put some seed potatoes in the base and then add more compost as the leaves grow through and then add more seed potatoes in layers.

Would this work? and would it be a good way of maximising the space? I don't have enough garden to plant them in the usual way.

I let my heather shrub dry out (still potted) and the pink flowers are completely dry and so are the leaves (needles). I scraped the bark at the base of the plant with my finger nail to see if there was any indication of life underneath but was mostly dry. The stem is still somewhat flexible. Does that mean the plant is still alive and can be revived? Any info would help. Thank you.

Hi, I have a front porch that is always in the shade but protected from strong wind. It is easy to water but I need container plants. What I would like to do is arrange them so one group is blooming all year around. I live along the coast (Palos Verdes near Trump National in Southern California) Heat is not a problem and the air is moist nearly all year. Any of you expert gardners have some ideas?

Is it true that there's a plant which effectively repels daddy long-legs (Harvestman). I've heard that Eucalyptus branches or chestnuts work but I'm not sure. PLEASE HELP ME

A section of my lawn hasn't been mowed for over a year and, as I plan on having a number of outdoor gatherings at my house this year, I would like to start mowing it again. Right now the grass is thick and dead and new grass is starting to grow around it. There aren't many weeds, but it seems like it's going to be very hard to deal with, as the area is mostly crab grass anyway. All I have is a little electric mower. Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated! Thanks!

I've been skimming huge quantities of duckweed from my pond and have added it to my compost heap. It stinks, even though I covered it with lawn clippings. Has anyone got a method of disposing of the weed that is less smelly?

I live in a rural area across from a forest. The local cottontails are very cute, "mow" my lawn and nibble my plants. Lately they've been digging up all my spring bulbs...over 500 of them (bulbs, that is)! This is the 1st time I've had this problem (here for 3 years). How do I keep them out of the unfenced yard without hurting them?

We've just moved into a house which has a backyard waterfall. We have never had one before and there is no owner's manual, so we have no idea how to operate it.
We filled the pond with water and turn the switch on, and the waterfall worked fine--for a couple hours.
The water dried up in the upper part of the waterfall, and the pump (?) started making noises.
Does our waterfall have leak?

It said lime? will help, and I figure it's not the fruit. Ive been giving it regular houseplant food and the blooms that started (which should be purple) were dry and crumbly.

Thanks for looking. I am thinking of building a small pool in my back yard. I was thinking of a 7' deep and around 24' round, and was wondering around what the cost might be? What about above ground pools, are those any good? Thanks in advance.
