Garden & Landscape - August 2007

I just got a shipment of Iris roots. About half a dozen. I am not sure where to put it in my garden yet? I need to make another raised flower bed. Iris do they grow better in full sun or partial shade? Should I wait until fall ? It's still getting hot and dry here in Northern Utah? Help! I also have about 100 Tulip plants that needs planting? Now or late fall? Which way is better?

i recently saw a local news segment where the only thing the guy used to stop bugs was regular baking flour. Has anyone tried this? By the way his vegetable garden was beautiful!

I manage to take pictures of these tiny white fury looking bugs. They leave my car sticky. Anyone know what they are and how do I get rid of them. Thanks!

Some of the leaves have already turned brown. The remaining have yellow lines/spots in them. The plant is planted against the back of my house. It has a little morning sun but is mostly in the shade. Thanks for any ideas ;o)

I need to repot some Venus Flytraps, pitcher plants, sundews, etc. Can I use regular cactus soil or do I have to order the stuff sold specifically for carn. plants?

I have a dof that runs back and forth all day tearing up every type of seed I've tried to lay down. What kind of grass is grown at the parks? Or, what should I do to try and grow an extremely tough grass lawn. Thanks

When I "google" it all the photos are wrong. It has a whispy leaf structure (almost like an upright asparagus fern minus the thorns), bright green color and no discernible flowers but turned an awesome bright, flame red in the fall in Michigan where I grew it.... Can anyone help me out here?

I think that I planted our pumpkins a couple weeks too late. Right now, the plants are large and there are many buds that are blooming into flowers. Will I have pumpkins in time? (this is my first year gardening)

It digs two cores, by putting your weight on it. The previous cores are ejected by the next ones. I'm concerned that it might take weeks to aerate a lawn with it. I would probably have to get the dirt very wet first, to make it easier to push the aerator down into the ground.

I would rather find a power aerator, if I could find one cheap. But this one might do, for a small lawn. Has anyone tried it?

I don't want to have to go through the front door, around the back and turn on the hose everytime I want to squirt off my flowers. Is it okay if I just keep my hose turned on (as long as the pressure isn't too high) and leave the knob turned off so all i have to do is turn the knob and water my flowers? Your help is greatly appreciated!

we have a pet rabbit which we put in shredded paper and hay/straw but it seems such a waste just to chuck in in the bin. obviously the waste also has rabbit droppings in it as well.
will this waste be of benefit to a compost bin.

I received a beautiful bouquet of flowers and as they are slowly dying off, I was wondering if I could somehow plant them in the ground, and have it grow into a plant. After all, flower seeds come from flowers, right?

I'm trying to get vines to climb a cinderblock wall, they don't want to cling. I've tried using some small strips of tape to kind of hold the vines to the wall in hopes that they would attach themselves and I try to keep the wall damp but no luck getting the vines to cling. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas as to what I can do?
