It is a tiny black pinlike pest that eats the leaves of the roses. No matter what pesticide I spray on, it still appears the following morning. What kind of pest did I have and what pesticide should I use?

I have a plant that I got from my Grandmothers funeral. I have never been a real plant person, but I am determined to keep this one alive. So I replanted it and am going to great means to take care of it. I just want to know if you think that talking to plants really helps to nurture it and help it to grow and stay healthy? In your professional opinion. Thanks.

I was recently watched the 1961 movie El Cid, which was filmed in Spain, and saw the strangest trees I have ever seen. They had tall spindly single trunks and their foillage sat on top like a puffy cotton ball. They were scattered along a road running through a fairly empty rocky valley, They almost looked like they belong in a science fiction movie.

I need a lot of willows for my firemaking skill. If you like to cut willows for skill and not money, could you list your usename so that I could trade you sometime? My username is 1847zr.

Do you think it would be economical for me to buy a goat so I won't need to mow my lawn so often? I'm a single mother and I really don't have the time or the strength. I saw 2 in the classifieds this weekend so I know it's possible.

It's better for the environment, and the goat's poop could act as fertilizer. I could name him "Shecky", and charge kids $5/pop to pet him.

I had landscaper plant 11 white pines in back yard... fairly moist area and I watered them frequently. The landscaper planted some high with bottom sticking out of the ground. The landscaper also failed to mention to me I needed to cut back the shrubbery behind the trees. I am not dealing with the back of many of the trees dead and I can see many trees pines are that dead brown color in the inside of the tree... some have brown on the tips of the pines. I hired someone to cut back the shrubs so more sunlight is getting to the back of the trees, I put mulch at the bottom of the trees especially those who had some roots on top of the soil....but I am afraid it is too late. Is there anything else I can do?

Obviously both but that can be costly for 1 acre. I live in southern CT (zone 6 I believe). Also, what time of year would be best to do?

Is there anyway to stop my tree from growing taller but instead grow sideway with more branches/leaves?

It is blocking my view, and the roots are beginning to poke up through the lawn, plus I am bothered about where the roots are going as it is fairly close to the house. I am presuming I cut it faurly close to the ground and apply some kind of chemical?

I have numerous house plants that are dusty and dull looking. What can I use to clean them gently? I remember years ago someone said a cotton ball with mayo on it - ever heard any such thing? Misting them just makes them look worse - it doesn't clean them!
