Garden & Landscape - July 2007

I've come to the conclusion that other than walking her more, there is no real solution to the dog pee spots. Is there a type of grass that is more resistant to dog pee spots, however?

Hi everybody.
While I was watering my roses today, I noticed a big ugly spider just sitting on the wall.
It didn't have a web, and it was just sitting there.
It was tan.
It...must not be a spider, because it has 6 legs, but it looks very fat, and just like one!
I couldn't get too close to it, so it just looked...hollow, like an empty shell.
It had pinchers.
What horrible breed did I find?

I would like to start composting but I am so confussed!!! I found this container that you can set on your kitchen counter as you collect materials. Ok, easy enough and not too expensive. After that I have no clue. I saw where you can buy this tumble bin thing that you keep outdoors that stores and creates the compost, but the cost is more than I can handle. What are all of my options and how do I even start a conpost. My goal is to have a herb garden in my kitchen or on my front porch so I really don't need to mass produce or anything. Also, how long would it be before I would be able to use the compost?

We have a new lawn and would like to aerate it to keep the grass healthy. Do we need to buy a spike / fork? How often do we need to aerate, and what gap between holes is appropriate?

The people who built them are gone, city dont have records, and no one in the area has an idea. The search area is 1 mile by 3/4 of a mile. I have already thought about a metal detector but want a faster way. This for a community garden well so the 6-7000 dollars need not be spent.

I had ordered it from a nursery in another state and it was damaged during the packaging process. Apparently, they bent the tip to make the tree fit the box and thus broke it. I wonder whether I should still plant it under the circumstances. Will it recuperate? Will it grow normally?

Anyone want to take a stab at this one? I pulled it out of my lilac hedge. It gets to about 8 feet tall, then falls and roots on the ground along its branches, and sends up new shoots from there. It likes the shade.

My friend's yard supports plants and flowers very well. However, when planted near the well-head they die off like nothing.

Most of the articles that I have read you need to have a special push reel mower for your putting green, So I was wondering if a cut height of 1/2 in. with a normal push reel mower would be able to cut down to a 3/16 or 1/4 if I was just to mow more frequently?

i have a heavily wooded area in my backyard with countless trees and i want to make a path sort of like a nature trail. in the winter i went back there to see what was there and i found streams and a little water fall. i want to know how i would go on about doing this (making the trail) or if there are people to hire, because there will probably be some trees that need to be taken down.

I am interested in building a garage on my property. My property is on a slope. How should I go about backfilling the area to make it level enough to put a monolythic slab onto for a garage?
