People in my community kill trees to get a better view of the ocean. What chemicals do they use to kill the trees? Someone told me that a copper nail hammered into the tree, will kill it. I would like to know what they do to kill the trees so that I know what to look for. Does anyone know how to kill a tree?

I was growing some tomatoes for a class project in school, and I had to bring he pot home for Winter Vacation. I think I need to transplant them into a bigger pot soon.....there are three of them (the biggest is six inches, the smallest is two inches.). I think they may be too close together, but I'm worried about moving the littlest one. It keeps on falling over (its stem is cracked, but I used a toothpick for a stake and used a small piece of tape to make sure it stayed up, and it has survived for about 2-3 weeks like this, with no problems.)
So, What should I do about the 2 in. plant??

Jim McDilda's holiday display last year included a 28-foot lighted arch, a 50-foot tree, 50,000 lights and dozens of animated silhouettes. The spectacle -- he needed a crane to set it all up -- lit up the sky and drew thousands of gawking visitors to his Redding, Calif., house.

This 28-foot lighted arch was a part of Jim McDilda's holiday display last year.
But nearby neighbors weren't so thrilled. Cars, limos and tour buses clogged the cul-de-sac, and trash was strewn across lawns. Christmas music blasting from Mr. McDilda's display kept neighbors awake. They complained to the city, which required that Mr. McDilda get a special-events permit and demanded that he remove the nearby cargo containers he used to store the display most of the year. After months of sniping between Mr. McDilda and the city, he decided to throw in the towel. This year, his house is unadorned.

They are just not full looking, it looks as if the stem length between the leaves is too long. The color isn't great either. I have them in a west facing window. I don't under or over water them. They are potted in Sta-Green container mix with fertilizer (too much potassium, maybe?). It's not that they've been dropping leaves, it's like there just never were enough leaves. I started two new ones from cuttings hoping they would be better but they look the same. They are big plants but I want them to look more full. Any suggestions?

A neighbour died 2 years ago leaving his property empty. Trees in his garden where threatening to smash into my greenhouse and other trees blocked out light so my garden was in darkness. I cut down the trees and now a relative is asking my other neighbour who has cut down the trees. My neighbour who died told me he had arranged for the trees to be cut but unfortunately he was too ill to have this happen. I am worried that I will get into trouble. Apart from the threat to my greenhouse and the light issue, these trees masked a dark area around the walls of the two properties which I found to be a security risk because of people hiding in them!

There is a bugambilia tree at my grandmothers house, it has been there since my dad was a kid, he is now 60 years old, and I was just curious as to how long they can live.

you see there is a pond and then the water goes though a colvert. the culvert leads to a creek.
i want to clear out the logs and such in the somewhat dried creek and make a dam in the middle of it so me and my friends can swim there. there is a camping spot and i want to get the water ready before summer. how do i make a dam? how do i get the logs out. one just hit me today and i dont want that to happen again.[this creek is completely on our property so dont bring up law stuff]

ok in my front yard we have a "sinkhole" my dad believes its from where they had burried the electric cables and didnt do a good job of compaction (since a few feet away their is an about 5 feet long line of dirt sunk in 3-4in.) but anyway we have tried to fix the hole by putting rocks in it and dirt and a little bit later it gets bigger and its right near the street! the hole currently is about 2 feet wide not sure how deep but it is rather deep and its filled with grass. our Tractor has gotten stuck in it before but we now try to avoid it. and not sure if it matters but i live on a fairly steep hill in NC.


what i'd like to know
1. what are steps to fix this properly (prefably a do-it-yourself not hiring anyone)
2. is this dangerous.
3. anymore help or experience or personal stories of such holes

Thanks in advance Everyone!!
