The flooding over the weekend took out about 6 foot off the sides of our bridge. There is just enough for a vehical to pass. We live on a dead end private road, with it being the sole way in and out for our neighbors and ourselves. It is a gravel road with a 36 inch tin horn. From the top of the bridge to the creek bed is about 15' deep. If we loose one more foot of road we'll be shut in. Is there any assistance we can get? We're tring to get the county to take it over so the school bus can come down and pick up our kids. If that doesnt work are there any programs with soil conservation, fema that we could try? Who should we contact for assistance?

It's just a mild conditioning saline, but I'm afraid I might make my plant OD on the salt! Do you know if it will actually harm the plant?

I've never actually used straw or even handled it, as far as I can remember. But I'm going to be using some soon, so I want some idea of what it's like. If you leave a small pile of it on the ground, will the wind blow it away? Does it have a lot of small particles in it, such that if you put it somewhere then move it, there will be a lot of dust and debris left behind, consisting of those small particles? Or is it all just clean neat dried stalks? If you want 20 or 50 or 100 cubic feet of straw, where would you buy it? Would you buy it from a farmer who grew it, or from a farm supply store, or where? And how much would you be likely to pay for it? Do farmers buy lots of straw, or do they mostly sell it?

Is there anyway to press a sunflower just like you would do to a flower like a rose inside of a book? Or anyway to preserve a sunflower?

I transplanted them from my mother's garden - warned them if they didn't bloom I would hack down - this was in 5th year. They bloomed this year. I have cut off the dried flowers -- now what? Fertilize, work around base? I don't recall what Mom did but she was able to make anything bloom. I jus watered them til they finally bloomed. The same question applies for rhubarb -- do I fertilize, cut back wilted brown looking stalks? I have been unable to find answers to this dilemma in all my books!!! Thanks

I believe it is a crab apple, but my dad insists that it is not. I want to make a jelly with it, so please let me know if they are crabapples, and if they are edible. If they aren't crabapples, can you please let me know what this is?

I have tried crushed eggshell but this did not seem to work, I have also heard that even slug pellets with animal detterant is still very harmful to dogs.

I'm confining my dogs' potty area to one corner of the yard and I'd like to plant something hardy around the perimeter of the area. Everyone here seems to believe their urine is "acidic" but from what I understand, it's the ammonia content that provides too much nitrogen (causing what is basically a fertilizer burn in the grass, which is what turns grass yellow). So I'd like to know what plants, aside from chives (which repel animals and therefore wouldn't be a good border for the pups' potty), love a really nitrogen-rich environment.

I'm starting a garden of plants with bright colors and cool shapes and I kind of got inspiration from reading about the garden at the Burrow as described in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets. What's a really cool tree (and kind of spooky) with a gnarled up and twisted trunk that would add a unique twist to a garden?
