When is the best time to run a soaker hose? In the day to keep the sun from completely drying out the soil, or during the night to make it so wet that the sun doesn't dry it out so much?

I LOVE flowers. I hate working outside, but I love to look at them out my patio window and I love to arrange fresh-cut flowers. Tell me about YOUR flowers.

I just moved into a home which has some landscaping. I don't know what is here and how to care for it! I remember using a type of book as a kid that would ask questions to help identify living things. (Does the plant flower? Yes or No; Does the plant have simple leaves? Yes or No. etc) What type of book is this and/or where can I go to identify these plants?

I live in the country and on some property nearby there is a disused swimming pool that is filled with dead animals that fall in and drown.
The owner refuses to cover it or fill it in and won't put up a fence either.

He will allow me to put somthing in that will help them get out but I am completely at a loss for how to build something that will work for creatures as small as frogs and large as deer. I can't tell how deep the water is as it's all disgustingly gooey with dead things.

Any ideas gratefully appreciated as I am worried sick about pets and children in the area.

And yes, I have already notified every authority and there is no one who can force him to fix the problem.

I live in North FLA and have St. Augustinegrass and I can't seem to get rid of the dollarweed. I can kill it in spots, pull it up (I'm too old to get down and go through the entire yard) but it comes back. I'v tried Image, underwatering, Bayer weed control. Any other suggestions?

I know that different conditions mean different fruits, I live in South Africa, good sun, good moisture and great temperature, so climate is not a problem. I've tried growing an avocado tree a couple times and had some success, but now i'm looking to see what fruit tree I can grow indoors which offers little hastle. Thank you

This spring, my grape vines were loaded with healthy looking grapes. I was thrilled because I thought the crop would be wonderful this fall. Well, as usaul, the grapes have started drying out. I have heard that grapes need a lot of rain, and we have certainly had that ( upstate New York). So what is causing this to happen?? And what can I do to prevent this?? Thanks!

Obviously a magnificent old oak tree is most inspiring but personally I think seeing a silver birch in a forest is one of the most beautiful sights one can see, with its magnificent silver bark. Most beautiful, When I see such nature I know there must be a god.

Each year it is the same. The perennial garden is too large. I should have divided plants in the spring. It now seems like an insurmountable task. My garden has outgrown my energy! Any suggestions? Zone 3

I just installed a patio and have 20 yards of loam to spread. It will be 3 inches deep to 10 inches deep depending on location. Do I just spread this as close to the grad I want then seed it and roll a roller over it to compact it?

Thanks!
