Garden & Landscape - September 2007

We recently bought a small 25 acre farm. The terrain is mostly flat with no major issues like rocks or dangerous slopes. The guy that I called about shredding the land wants $600 to do it one time. That price prompted us to think about buying our own tractor instead.

I found a used, 2-year-old Yanmar 2500, 2 x 4, 3 cylinder deisel tractor. It comes with a 5 foot shredder and also a front end loader. He wants $8000. He wants to upgrade to a 4 X 4.

My question is: Is this tractor big enough to handle our 25 acres? Or should I look for a 4 X 4? What does 2 X 4 and 4 X 4 mean?

One greenhouse guy says coconut shells retain too much moisture that can rot the roots, while my gardener swears by them. Greenhouse guy says use charcoal broken up and decorative pebbles to beautify the pot. Opinions?

I always thought it was when the seed finally turned into a sprout. Is that what it means? For example, "germination usually take 20-30 days". What exacly does that mean?

When is the best time to divide them? Before storing them for the winter or just before planting them in the spring?

I have a large slope that is full of daylilies. While I love them, it is just too much. I would like to kill them off and start fresh. It is just too large of an area to dig. I have tried spraying Roundup on them to kill them, but it didn't work. Does anyone know what will kill them off?

For plants that need direct sunlight... does that mean unfiltered light (nothing between the plant and light, like glass, clear acrylic, etc)?

If I had outdoor plants that had a roof over them (actually it will be an aviary), is a clear roof good enough to get direct sunlight or does it need to be unfiltered?
