Garden & Landscape - July 2007

We have a huge front and back yard, that is absolutely infested with weeds. We tried many different weed killers, some don't do anything, others not only kill the weeds but kill the lawn and we have spots in the yard now that look burnt up. Help?

I have 3 beefstock tomato plants and theyve each grown a little over 40 inches. They grow in my apt window out on the balcony. They get plenty of sunlight and I water them every day, sometimes twice a day. They have miracle grow soil and Ive even tried miracle grow plant growth (the blue stuff, mixed with water).
They havent produced any flowers indicating tomatoes. All they do is grow taller and taller. They are each very green and healthy. Did I do something wrong?

Probably has another name, it is in the hydrangea family. It gets bigger every year and has beautiful leaves, but no blooms. I got it as a start from another plant, and I have had it 3 years.

I recently planted 2 Bee Balm plants in my yard and they've been growing beautifully but I noticed this morning the leaves are turning white and look like they are starting to shrivel up. I don't see any pests and I water every day. Help!

My weeping willow tree of about 5 years seems to be dying, the leaves are drying (not to lack of rain!!), but there is totally different leaves growing through it, which are coming off the main trunk. Do I cut these aliens off at the main trunk or leave them? MANY THANKS

I have tried Milorganite, placing different objects around the plants, but nothing works so far. I have heard about a motion detector that has a sprayer and when they come around it comes on and sprays water at them but I can't seem to find it and I do not know the name of this item, they say it works. Does anyone know anything about it or have any ideas to save what is left of my hosta? She has managed to eat 30 plants so far.

My lawn is very yellowed and brown, not to mention short. I realize water will help, but we haven't really had enough rain to make any difference and I do not have a way to water it myself. Is there any home remedy or store product I might be able to apply to help with the growth, color and plushness?
I have an alterior motive for wanting the grass to grow as well. I earn money by cutting grass for my neighbor as well as my dad and since it hasn't needed to be cut in almost 3 weeks now, I have gone without getting paid and I really need the money. Ay suggestions? Thanks

My mother in law wants to start a landscaping business and she asked me if I could look online to find out. Well I have been looking for the past say 30 mins or so and it keeps bringing me to contractors license. Is that what she will need? We live in Louisiana so I'm not sure if that makes a difference or not to what she needs. I don't know anything about landscaping to begin with but if anyone knows about it please let me know!

I just bought my first home (Northeast Ohio) and I have been working on the landscaping. It is now time to put down mulch and I have no idea what kind to use. The bark mulch looks nice, but is it practical? I have noticed that some types say they "repel insects" - is that important? How important is it to go with a brand name in mulch? I don't want the kind that stinks either. Any suggestions?

I have 4 tomatoe plants, and although they are staked up they are still growing wild and crazy. I had heard that ur supposed to prune the non blooming stems. I have never heard of that and was wondering if it is true or not.
