I have one large dog who I pick up after on a regular basis, but I'm dealing with yellow spots on the lawn in the backyard. Now with the rain, clover has begun to grow on a section of the lawn. I know about lime and gypsum and weed and feed, but I'm not sure which order to approach my problem. Any serious ideas?

I have a Crape Myrtle Tree that is about 5 yrs old. The last 2 years it got this funny white powdery stuff on the leaves and eventually on the flowers. Now the powder is coming again on the leaves. (Its doesn't have flowers yet). Last year I sprayed it with an incesticide made for pests, but it did no good. What can I spray on this tree to get rid of this white powder before it blossoms and ruins the beauty of the tree? Thank you for any ideas. This tree is so beautiful when it blooms. Big lavendar flowers.

I live in San Diego, and have a tiny garden which I love extended from our condo, but it's also surrounded by Ivy, which I guess these annyoing little creatures love and they are eating my garden up. I just read that putting pennies as a barrier around my garden will help and also read to spray part water and vinegar mixture, but it didnt' say if it was safe or not to spray on my plants. Will vinegar ruin my plants? I want to find a safe, natural way to do this. My cats go on our patio and I dont want to get them sick.

I have a space that I need to fill under my windows. It is 15 feet long by 2 feet wide by 31/2 feet high. We had rhododendrons but grew tired of them, since we have planted many things that haven't worked. It is an area that gets a lot of sun.- I would like to have something that would attract butterflies and/or humming birds. Easy to maintain, beautiful all year, not just when they flower, and full.

I have an 8 foot cement wall in my backyard and I want to plant something to hide it. I've seen plants like ivy growing on walls, but I would like something different than ivy. I live in northern California.

I have just started landscaping an area in front of my house and it needs to be leveled off. However, I'm not sure how to measure the amount of dirt that I will need. Everyone I ask either wants to know how many tons or how many cubic yards. How do I figure this out? The area is approx 6 feet in length by 4 feet wide and about 1 foot deep. Any ideas? Thanks!

this is for a weed plant. and can you grow in some mud or some soil that you got from you backyard but the soil is always moist and you put some holes at he bottom of the plant to be sure that enough oxygen and water was going through the whole plant. what type of stuff do i have to put in the soil to make it rich so the plant can grow faster and better .
