I have these beetles in my garden that are black in color with this soft rainbow colored shell on top that are eating my basil plants and petunias ect... They leave this skeleton effect on the leaves and I can't seem to get rid of them. There are a lot of them too. I don't want to kill my plants with sprays and I want to be able to eat my basil instead of the beetles eating it! Thanks for the help.

the field years ago was all alfalfa. our neighbor's also. they built their house about five years before us, and they said all they did was keep mowing it regularly and eventually the grass just came up. their yard is beautiful. after about ten years now, our yard (about seven acres) looks nothing like theirs, except where we've gone out and actually planted grass. the rest has spots that look like perfect grass, and parts that from a distance are nice, but up close after mowing, just doesn't look like grass! how do I tell if it's grass and not hay or straw??

Not that I want to, but at my summer camp last year a councilor said that if you chew the purple root (which only appears sometimes) on the plant Yaro you can get high... is this true?

The leaves turn brown and dead at the tips and it spreads up. the plants look like they are dying! I'm just a guy without a green thumb so any advice to save them would be appreciated. I give it a good dose of water twice a week but I guess thats not enough.. Thanx..

My tomatoes are getting black spots on them while they are still green. Then the spot continues to grow, eating away at my tomates before they ripen on the vine. The ones that do turn red get all mushy before they are ready to be picked.

We live outside of Atlanta and have these little (almost microscopic) reddish bugs that fly around in a group like gnats, only these things bite or sting. They make your skin itch like you've been walking in tall grass. We knew something was itching us, but didn't see them until they got on (a BUNCH of them) a white t-shirt.

a nuclear bomb!lol My cannas are about 4ft tall and are close together. There are about 30 of them in the same spot, so they're pretty thick. Am I not getting the chemical to all the infected leaves? Please help, I don't know what to do! P.S. The bizarre thing is they are (thank God) only on my cannas!

I have a very small kitchen and I'm trying to save all the space I can. I need a compact (18"W) over the range microwave to fit this only spot available for the microwave, but a small over the range microwave oven doesn't seem to be available. Is it ok to have a regular microwave (no ventilation) over an electrical stove? Is it really dangerous? What are the risks? What could happen? Thanks!
