Garden & Landscape - October 2007

I'm wondering how I can kill the Kudzo vines that have flooded a cemetery near my home. I'm thinking burning would really do the best job, especially now that winter is coming and the plants will turn brown however, can i do that without damaging the gravestones? Its hard for you to even see the gravestones which is why i want to do something about it. It really is a shame that families don't care about where their people were burried anymore. What can I do? The cemetery is fairly large. HELP!

I think one of my plants has aphids. There are lots of little green bugs on my hedge, but also some white ones. What can aphids do if untreated? What are some natural ways to get rid of them?

I have two trees both are tall but not thick or huge. Just need to cut some limbs that are overreaching to my roof and the neighbors yard.Found an independant landscaper he's wants to charge $500 for trimming the trees and clearing the gutters. Is that a good price others have been telling me it's not.

Thanks

Hi there,
I have just started a veggie garden and will be watering via hose or bucket (due to water restrictions). Just wondering about how long I should water each plant for? I usually put half a bucket of water on each plant is that enough? I'm watering every couple of days at the moment as I've only just put the seedlings in, however I would like to water once a week. If watering once a week would half a bucket of water for each plant be enough? The plants are eggplant, tomato, zucchini etc.

Hi everyone. I had a question. I recently moved into this house and basically there is no landscaping. Therefore, I called out landscaping service and they basically want $2000 to put in grass. So I wanted to see if I could do it myself. Can anyone give me some advice? Basically right now, there is some soft dirt around the yard. Someone at work told me to spread some fertilizer first, rake it around, then put some sod over it, and then water like crazy. Does this sound right? I would appreciate info. Thanks!!!

The tips of the leaves turn brown and then the entire leaf shrivels up and i pick it off. It hasn't flowered since I brought it home from the plant store and all the flowers that were once on it died within the first week. I tried less light, I tried more, I tried less water, I tried more. I re-potted it with miracle grow into a larger pot. It's hardley more that a couple of tiny shriveled leaves and when I bought it, it was tall and exotic looking and nice. I don't know what to do..... the people in my office laugh at my poor little dying plant. : (

I have one tree and 2 bushes (the bushes are Montgomery Blue spruces and the tree is a Fat Albert). On the two bushes there are full branches that have lost all of their needes (~2-3 branches per bush). The needles on the tree (Fat Albert) are turning yellow at the tips, and some are falling off. These are all new plants from this spring. I live in Chicago, and the climate has been a bit unseasonably dry and warm. I am looking for input as to whether or not this is normal, what are some thoughts as to what can be going on, nd if there are any remedies that can be applied. I appreciate your thoughts in advance.

I planted some rose of sharons that were given to me a couple of years ago. they still look like immature plants. they hardly get flowers on them. they basically look about the same exept a little taller maybe. the person who gave them to me didn't plant them vary deep and i wondered if that might be the issue? I have been reading about rose of sharons and everyone says how they spread and how easily they grow. What am i doing wrong?

She thinks it's a cottonwood. It's about 35 -40 inches around.

Is there any way of getting rid of it easily, cheeply, and with out having her husband know she is doing it. She wants it to look like the tree died or is dieing of natural causes.

How can she do this.

To you tree huggers don't criticize her either. She is a good person with a good heart.
