There is this aggressive parasitic vine I am trying to identify. I knew what it was once but didn't write it down. It is a woody vine with spade-shaped green leaves (sometimes fatter spades, almost circular; sometimes thinner) that alternate, and bright orange roots. Leave edges are very slightly scalloped. It spreads by root very pervasively. A photo is available at http://picasaweb.google.com/eewanco/ParasiticVine/photo#5082414225280580306 .

my pond is now solely pumping around dirty water. i cannot find a local pond cleaning company, and regularly clean the pumps and the filters. short of emptying the whole pond out and cleaning it all completely, a relatively hassle free solution would be greatly appreciated.

I am willing to do up to 2 hours of hard work. I would rather have a gas mower either way, and would also get a self-propelled push mower. The only thing is my husband thinks we need a riding mower and says a push mower would be too much work. But riding mowers are SO expensive! What should we get?

Im trying to re-design my garden but we are having really bad weather recently and its filled up the trenches i have dug for my new walls with rain. We have really bad drainage in the garden so its not draining away quickly. Can anyone suggest an inexpensive way to cover/protect the garden from the rain which would allow me to continue working in the garden at the same time?

My garden is 5m wide by 9m long (if that makes any difference?) I was going to nail polythene to the fences to cover the garden but i thought that might rip and blow away in the wind?! Any other ideas are most welcome! Thanks

I am using Earthboxes (which are wonderful!) but it is getting cold tonight and I want a quick way to protect them from cold and wind. Any suggestions? It's 2:00 and 40 degrees.

I was wondering how to get rid of morning glorys? I have them scattered throughout my beds and they just keep coming back and choking out all my other plants. I thought they were weeds until I didn't have a chance to weed for awhile and they started flowering haha.

My grandmother passed away and I recently took in her house plants. Unfortunately, I do not know what kind of plants they are. There are three huge plants with big green leaves aboiut twice the size of the average hand. The only thing I know is they require lots of light. My apartment does not get a lot of light and I am worried they will parish. I've seen both of my grandparents dust off the leaves and water them but I am unsure of how much. I know I am not giving much info but any advise you might have would be greatly appreciated. This is only thing I have to remember my Grandmother by and it makes me feel close to her again just to have the plants that she gave so much love. Thanks.

Can someone please tell me what fertilizer number ratio to use for my snapdragons. You know, Nitrogen-Phosphate-Potash. I have been using water soluble Miracle Gro Bloom Booster flower food for all of my other flowers. It's ratio is 10-52-10. They are all doing super, but I have been unsure about using it on my snaps. Is it OK to use on them and if not, what should I use? I have never had so much difficulty in finding info on anything as with a recommended fertilizer for snaps. Just give me some numbers! Don't know if it matters, but I live in Pennsylvania.
