I need to buy a mower for a small yard. I used to have an elecric mower with a cord that I thought was okay, but it was made in the 70s, so I don't really know what's good now. How about those ones that don't use power at all, but just have whirring blades that move when you push it? I'd get one of those if they work well.

I have a 500 gallon pond with koi fish. Bees have discovered it as a water source and have become a problem.

I am not afraid of bees, I know that if you don't bother them, they won't bother you.

My pond is only 5 feet across so I can't just let them have their space. There are 10 bees there at any given time.

It's gotten to the point that I can't get close to the pond during the day without stirring them up. I have to do everything at night with lights on which is a pain.

The bees are coming for the water, the hive is not on my property and I know what direction they are flying to but not where they are going.

Will anything deter them? I can't spray anything because of the pond plants and fish.

I've resorted to catching them with a net and stepping on them but I don't really want to kill them, I just want them to go somewhere else.

I know they won't bother me if they aren't provoked but it is hard to watch my koi fish eat with 10-15 bees buzzing around my head!

I have a pond that is 125 gallons. I started it in early spring and it has been doing well until this month. It has been foaming a lot. When the weather got really hot it started foaming. I have done all I can think of. I tested the PH and it was a little high so I put Ph down in it. I tested it again 24 hours later and it was lower but still foaming. It gets a little greenish brown film on it sometimes that I skim off. I have used water clear and clear zyme in it always following directions. I have replaced and cleaned the filter (no soap was used. I have taken half of the water out and put new in. The fish I have are doing fine. I only have 1 water lily in it and isn't real big. It seems to be doing ok. I have a fountain in it for airation. I have looked in my pond books but they don't give any answers. The place where I buy my pond stuff didn't have a clue. Please respond if you have a pond and know what it could be.
Thanks

Hello! I just germinated a French Lavender (it popped out of the ground a few days ago) in my apartment in Ohio. My first concern is that the second day the plant was out of the ground, I noticed a very small brown spot on its little leaf. I noticed this yesterday, the plant is still going strong, but is this an indictation that I overwatered maybe?

Also, any useful tips on freshly germinated lavender very much appreciated! I want it to grow and live as long as it can. Like I said, I live in an apartment in Ohio and try my best to give it as much sunlight as possible and water seldom. I am also looking for a plant light for those darker days...suggestions would be great!

Thank you everyone!

I know Mexican heather is an annual. I have a plant outside in a pot. If I bring the pot indoors, or repot it and bring it in, will it continue to bloom, and for how long?

We have 2 arborvitae, both about 25 years old and about 8'-9' tall...What I'm wondering is this: Is it even possible to relocate these two gorgeous evergreens? Ideally, I'd like to move them to a different part of the same yard, so I don't think I need to worry about different pH levels (which a friend of mine had suggested). Also, if I WAS able to relocate these evergreens, how would I do it? I mean, hubby is a pretty big, strong guy with a few big, strong friends - would all that man-power be enough to pick these things up and move them 15'? One last thing - how big of a root ball am I looking at under these things?...Thanks in advance!
