My new house has a nice view of a gorgeous mountain. But the association planted this hideous mesquite tree that blocks my view!!!! We tried to ask them to cut it down but it has taken forever and we're fed up!!! We've decided that we want to kill the tree ourselves with chemicals, what chemical should we use?? we would prefer if it is quick and easy and doesnt draw attention to itself!! thanks!!!

This might seem like a really stupid idea, but could I microwave soil from my backyard to get rid of insect eggs and then put a plant in it without problems with bugs or is this completely ridiculous?

I'm moving into an apartment with an older dog. He's used to having a huge yard to do his business and at the new place there is only a concrete patio. We've built a raised bed for plants or grass that he'll be able to use, but I'm sure that the grass will burn out in no time. Are there any plants that will tolerate soil that could have a lot of urine?

I grew this sunflower, it's about 5ft tall and it's inside of a pot on my deck. I changed the pots several times because it kept outgrowing them, and I know it's supposed to be in the ground. Problem is, we live in the Poconos where there are a lot of deer and they eat any plants we put outside. Will they eat sunflowers too? Or will they just ignore them?

My friend Sedgewick the hedgehog is in Mrs tiggy winkles rescue home at the moment because some one used a strimmer on his face.
Why don't you use edging shears?
And did you know their numbers are in decline and they may be extinct in the next 20 years.
Help save them and be careful not to run them over because they are so sweet and harmless.

Where should I go shopping?

On a pile of a few cabbages, I found a hill that had these little white looking like worms. What is it is it a cabbage disease? I guess if yes, than I can't eat it and should I take it out?

I live in zone 6. The plot in the back has great sunshine all morning (about 5 hours) and then has some shade produced by very tall pine tree trunks that have very few needles and branches. I would love to have a rose garden with a few climbers for the fence. Any suggestions?

I would like to start composting my trash but my homeowners association does not allow compost heaps. Is there a way I can compost secretly, no smell, no bugs, no obvious "eyesore" whatever that means. I've seen some composting products on the web, they do cost a lot, but do they really work and is there a smell or bugs that might be attracted to them? Any ideas are welcomed. Thanks!

Hello~
My husband and I are planning a Koi Pond for our landscape in the backyard. He loves the clack-ing sound of the fountain in Kill Bill Vol 1, well I did some research and found out it is a Deer Chaser or Shishi Odoshi. However I cannot seem to find the model that was used in the film. Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

I cut the bags off the trees (all I could see of them) and that is just a pain. What if I didn't get all of them? Will they start multiplying again?
