I have a tree about 1ft in diameter...for many reasons, I can't cut it down but to have it die first. What can I do?
I googled, but confused which is best.
1/ Drill a hole then pour salt to it.
2/ Drill a hole then pour Weed killer to it.
2/ Pour motor oil to it (don't like this--pollution)
3/ Feed it with lots of salt (how much?) since the roots is big and branch out to many directions.
4/ Feed it tons to Nitrogen.
5/ Nail a copper nail to it. (how many? how big the nails?)

My baby is due at the end of Jan and I want to have a sow a seed so it grows up with the baby. My friend is 30 and has a cactus that was planted on his birth which I think is a nice idea.
I need something that will last for years and years, not grow too big and be suitable for a pot as we intend to move house in several years time.
This is for the uk.
I could go with a cactus but would appreciate any other ideas

Thanks.

I have some seeds I saved from my grapefuits, oranges, and lemons. My questions is, how long do they last before they can longer be planted?
Days? Months? Years? Decades?
And is this true for all seeds...strawberries, sunflowers, etc...

My orange trees are not growing and have not been growing in the entire year that I have owned them. They should be taller than me by now and should be bearing fruit. No new leaves or new growth is visible. I am watering them and giving them sun. Could it be possible that lack of compost/fertilizer is causing the lack of growth?

Every weekend when I work in the yard I have to clean up piles of dog feces. I don't have any animals. I can't let my children outside to play until I've gone out and cleaned everything up -- otherwise they get it all over their shoes. I called the animal control and they said that it is illegal, but to prosecute I'd have to have proof, like a picture. I am at work all day -- so this is impossible. They do it while I'm gone. Even if I am at home one day, I don't have time to sit in front of the window with my camera. I've tried talking to the neighbors (who always let their dogs run free) and they apologize and say 'we'll try to pay more attention' and things improve for a few weeks but then go back to normal. They also claim that it isn't just their dogs, it's other dogs being walked around the neighborhood on leashes -- the owners just don't clean up after them. What can I do? Is there some kind of product you can apply to the lawn? Backyard is fenced, problem is in front.

My philodendron is in a 6 inch high pot. The plant itself is about a foot tall. A couple of 6 inch long roots are sticking out of the pot and hanging in the air. I don't want the plant to grow bigger. Is it safe to cut the roots or should I move them to grow back into the pot?

I live in eastern Virginia and currently have Bremuda Grass (with a little of this and that mixed in) and I want to plant a grass that is nice and dark green all season long. Hybrid Fescue turfgrass (I think, please correct me if I am wrong). I know that I SHOULD have dethached and pulled up as much as possible in the fall and reseeded then. Well, I missed it. Am I SOL until next Fall?

For my horticulture class our teacher has given us all a plant. I got the Gold Dust. Well it was doing really good until ur teacher decided it was time to re-pot our plants and put together a soil for them. Well i used some moisture control, some time release fertilizer, i believe, and some perlite. Every since then my plant has been going down hill. I didnt water my plant for a week and it was still soaked when i didnt give it that much water in the first place. Well the leaves started to wilt so i made a new soil mixture and when i did i found my roots to be less than they were when i first got the plant. My teacher told me to put it back into the smaller pot so my roots can gain some stability.

Is there anything i can do to save my plant? And is there a certian soil mixute i should be using? If you tell me what to do i will gladly buy and make the mix.

Thank you! Im sorry this is so long.
