Garden & Landscape - June 2007

Please help! We accidentally used Jobe's fertilizer spikes for evergreen trees and shrubs on a lilac bush. The bush is now turning brown at the top branches from the large amount of acid in the spikes.. Is there anything we can do to counter-act the acid? We've dug all around the bush and we can't find the spike..

Is the growth rate similar? Are they both very dense? What about the spread? Thanks!

I have one acre with trees here and there. I have been blowing them with my riding mower gathering them to several areas, then manually scooping them up into tons of trash bags. Once every year in the Spring. It really kills my back just doing the scoop and trash. I can not afford to hire professional, is there better way to do this? Also how often? Thank you.

My neighbor has a really large tree that overhangs my home lawn and drive. The leaves are really bad - I bought a leaf blower and I don't even have trees. I need a new roof and gutters on that side of the house ( 4 year old roof), my deck is stained and I have no grass. The lower branches have left debris and slashed my husbands H2 (a month old) and I had to file an insurance claim to repaint my leased Lexus. Between the leaves, sap, birds, and broken dead branches this tree has destroyed 4 cars and caused 6 insurance claims = $1,500.00 in deductibles at my expense. It's a locust tree and it looks nice but I don't think the neighbor understands because it does not cover her home / driveway. And I cannot move the cars - garage is full. Township does not return phone calls. I already offered to pay for trimming. I just don't thing it is right that I have to drive a damaged car and keep paying deductibles.

I am getting my garden ready so I may put down turf and am trying to do it as cost effective as possible.
Will the manure do the same as the topsoil?

This is a large 'L' shaped, 2 tier deck connected to the house on 2 sides, with too many entry points to try and block off. My guests have left droppings with a wonderful aroma on some warm summer days. Looking for suggestions in that area as well!

We bought a weeping willow and the only place to plant it is by a red pine. Will the willow be able to live in such acidic soil?

I have this big bucket outside, my husband says it is for horses to drink water. Anyway the people who lived here before us left it here and they used it to burn things in. Who do you call to get the county to come pick it up, or who does it for free? and how do I find out who does?

ok so i went to the washington dc zoo and there was these plants. they look like crabgrass except its about a foot tall and thicker. i picked a piece and i rubbed it against my arm. it didnt hurt at first. then i realized that the grass had these tiny hooks/prickers on one side of it, and they made my arms get all cut and scratched up so now my arms look like i was attacked by a cat. do you know what this type of plant is called?????
