Garden & Landscape - November 2007

I got a self-watering pot, which I was told was the kind to get for the plant I bought (can't remember the name, but its a common leafy plant w/ stalks of single white petals surrounding a pollen core...anyone know what its called?). Anyways, its been months, and I have kept the base filled, but the water just doesn't pass through the durn thing. The plant ends up drying out, and I just pour water directly on it to keep it going.

Is this a faulty product, or should I have soaked the pot before using or something?

I never have before, but I just read an article saying that we should. If you do disconnect them, are you supposed to cover or plug the faucet? Thanks!

Is this your "true" hair color or are you just wishing? Seems like that is all I see at the garden/landscape catagory! Now that I think about it, it's about 90% redhead as opposed to blondes, brunettes, and black in all the catagory's. Ladies, clue me in will ya! Oh.. and I don't have anything against a readheaded women..lol.

Oh the tree is in North Carolina. I'm not sure if that will help identify it.

We have a huge Yacca tree and the base and roots are huge, If we chop it at the base, will it re-grow its roots? as a friend wants to put in a large pot plant. I cant seem to find any websites with this answer.

I just purchased a quality 18" depth root barrier for a Chinese elm, burch, jacaranda, and Hass Avocado. The garden supply place that I bought the barriers from said I should install them bellow the grade so I can get the barrier as low in the ground as possible. This video that I found online (link attached) claims that barriers need to be installed above grade for aggressive root systems. Do the trees that I have fall into this category? What would you recommend?

is being attacked by tiny light brown things. They are making holes in my blooms which won't flower now. They look like worms with tiny legs. They are small and it looks like part of its body is in the bloom and the other part is sticking out. My poor beautiful plant is not looking good right now. I miss the beautiful fragrant flowers. Anyone know what I can spray on it to kill these nasty critters?

I've heard that plants respond well to being watered with cold tea. Is this true or is it a myth? How much tea, roughly and do the plants like it with milk and sugar?

Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Could you tell me the names of the plants in these photos: http://home-and-garden.webshots.com/album/561329194QETfvb

The degree of sunlight and water seems to vary for them. So I am very confused. Some of them are thriving and some(especially one) of them are(is) dying. Will the light I put above them(100W) make up for the sunlight they wud have gotten outdoors? As you can see they are place beside a north side window. What can I do to make them thrive. Please suggest. And to tag the plants you could log in as alias1234 and pass:alias. Please dont change the password or delete the pictures. and pls do leave your nickname after u're done tagging so I can choose yours as the best answer

Hi,

We have got an artificial fountain in our garden and wild birds are coming to drink it. This fountain has not been used for 3 weeks and we have got now stagnant water (green, cloudy...). Is there any product on the market which could clean the water and be drinkable by birds, fox etc....
Thanks for your answers

I m trying to think of the name of a particular tree. They look like long and skinny christmas trees and theyre known for being in cemeteries. My first thought was cypress tree but i m not sure about that at all, the pictures that i was able to get on google all looked different.
