Garden & Landscape - July 2007

I just moved in a new house. There is a lot of area on the lawn that have lot of woodchips. I thought of removing them. But they are deep. Any ideas how to cover them up with?

I heard that it isn't good for hummingbirds to be just fed a 4:1 water sugar food. I heard that it is hard for them to digest all that sugar and that they should be getting other nutrients, too. I don't want to buy a food mix but would like a recipe for a better hummingbird food if that is what is best for them.
I have tried to search this out and keep getting the same recipes over and over of a ratio of 4:1, water to sugar.
Does anybody really know what is best for them?

I have a new lawn. We planted grass seed and put straw over the top of it. It has been down for nearly two months. Will I need to rake it, or will it all eventually decompose within the next year or so? Its a big yard and will take a long time to rake. Any experience on this?

I have several types of daylilies. I want to keep their original colors true. I've heard that if they touch each other, then they could cross pollinate and aquire a new color. Is this true or an old wives tale?

Two years ago I planted a whole bunch of assorted lily bulbs my wife bought on QVC. They bloomed profusely and now all the flowers are gone. When do I cut the stalks back? Last year I waited until the fall but had all the stalks sticking up all summer.

I live in Tennessee. I bought a nice lavender plant and it started dying a few days later. I tried planting it in the ground, and that didn't help. Then I tried replanted it back in the same pot I got it from and added some gravel to the bottom to help drain the soil, as per HGTV.com tips.
Should I water it daily? Every other day? Anything else I should try?

Im looking into laying some sort of groundcover in our backyard to prevent the ground it from becoming so muddy when it rains which in turn will keep our 4 dogs from tracking in so much mud. Im considering pine needles or some type of mulch to help control the puddles. The yard is pretty much bare not to mention on a severe dowslope. My main concern is making sure the cover i buy isnt hazardous to the dogs if they were to digest it. My second concern is to find a low cost, low maintenance material that will last and look half way decent. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.

I was just wondering... thinking about critters that come by and eat the gardens, and wondering what they're like other places.

So, would anyone mind sharing what kind of wild animals you get coming by, and where you generally are? Not just in Britain - although, are there any Brits out there who could tell me about the racoons?

Thanks!

My garden has gotten too large for me to spend time talking to all my plants, so starting about 3 years ago I began hiring folks to come over during the day and spending some time doing it for me. But it's getting too expensive because I've got 8 people now working almost full time on this during the day. Will it work if I just record their voices and began playing it back during the day over some speakers?
