We live in MN, have 1950 square feet to use, and would like to do whatever neccessary to plant in the springtime. I think we are supposed to first remove the grass and then till the soil, but when should we do this, and what should we add to the tilling process? Thanks.

I have been growing tomato plants indoors for 3 years now (new plant every year). I noticed this year that the top of the plant started to die back as usual, however i noticed alot of new growth starting at the bottom of the plant. I live in PA so days get pretty short over the winter. How long do you guys think this plant will live if i keep it well maintained? THANKS

So, when we bought our house, it was seeded and we has some nice bermuda in the backyard. Then we got dogs....*sigh*... long story short our yard went completely bare. We started keeping the dogs indoors all day, we tried reseeding, sod, just about everything and had given up short of calling a landscaper. Then, after a few months we noticed there was something green growing in the backyard. It was crabgrass. Now I know it's not something beautiful to look at and it won't make a golf course yard, but if it will grow there....it has to be better than nothing right?

As a special note, we live in the south, it's 100+ degrees here right now, and our front yard is fine...no weeds, nice bermuda growing there without problem. I'll admit that my husband and I both are far from yard experts. Is having a backyard yard of crabgrass that bad?

I have to prime my mower before I start it, it starts but it stops after about 5 seconds. Is it a gas problem? It has fresh gas, and I have been using it all summer. The spark plug is good, I have only had the mower for a yaer.

I have a craftsman 42cc-18 inch chainsaw. My boss cought his tree down and gave me the trunk pieces that he cut down. They range from 2 feet wide ,3 feet high to 8 inches high, 1 foot high. I just got a blade for it. I set tension and it has an automatic lube. I read the book for the chainsaw and followed the directions, but after cutting 2 logs that were 8 inches high, 1 foot high the blade dulled out on me. It just will not cut anymore. I dont understand what I did wrong. I did not overload the chainsaw. Also any tips on cutting real big tree trunk pieces.

I had concrete poured yesterday in my backyard. I can't get a hold of the guy that installed it. He didn't leave directions as to keeping wet. Please help. I don't think he'll be back untill Tuesday, after the holiday.

Can't go outdoors without getting a few of these tiny hungry creatures crawling on me. I have treated all our animals, cut back all bushes, keep the grass mowed. I have lived here since '89 and have never encountered this magnitude of infestation.

I might add, my St. Augustine is of the old variety . On the south side of my house it has choked out all other grass and looks great. But on the west and north sides its not doing so good.
