gardenzone asked:


I have just inherited an uncultivated garden plot. The moss completely covered the top of the dirt. It hasn’t been used for about 7 years. I turned it over twice, and it seemed to be gone, however with the recent rain it has appeared again.

Judith S asked:


The garden already has 500 lbs of topsoil and eggrock in layers. What recommendations do you have for rock gardening in northeast Texas?

Jayla asked:


I just brought my first home and I have a big back yard. I wanted to know how do I start a garden? I was thinking of planting some roses and tulips. Does anyone know what i should plant to attract butterflies? What other kind of flowers can I plant?

I bought a small fountain and I have 3 plants in it with 3 tad poles and 2 fish. I have a Pix if want to send me a message. I am worried that the water is not good water for my fish. My Fiance thinks that the plants are too much dirt for a small fountain or my water garden is needing an oxygen pump to keep the Fish alive. My mom has a similar larger scale water garden with a Fountain, plants and fish the only difference is she has well water and her watergarden is much larger than mine. So do I need an oxygen pump plus my fountain? Should I take the plants out? Or do you think I need to buy bottled water to put in my fountain; or atleast buy the chemical that takes the floride and chlorine out of the water?
Just put plants and fish in my tank last night. Came home from work today my trickler got clogged up with dirt from my plants and somehow my water was dripping out. It wasn’t empty when I got home today but the water level was low. And guess what? I killed 2 tad poles and 2 fish. Maybe I should just stick to plants I can keep them alive. Then I don’t have to be responsible for anything elses death. Wish I could post a pix here, there is one on my 360 page if you want to see what I am working with.

There are so many pretty plants and wildflowers along the roadside right now. How can I learn which ones would make a good flower garden without the neighbors thinking I have a weed bed?

annoymous0381 asked:


I’m painting the inside of my garden shed. It will be used as a retreat and has a cot inside for naps. The shed has no windows. Currently the shed door and walls have been sanded and ready to be painted. Inside there are two lights. I would want the door painted a color that I could look at if I have to close it.

Cranberry asked:


I’m in Southeast Tennessee, it doesn’t rain much. My garden is in direct sun for most of the day. It has 7 inches of a compost/manure and is mulched with straw. I have a soaker hose.
About how many inches should it get?
Should I water every day, every other, or once a week?

drainy asked:


At the back of our lot is a large retaining wall that is made of creosote rail ties. This location is also the best site for a vegetable garden. Unfortunately, there is no way to remove the railway ties so we need to work around them. Our plan is to build the garden two feet out from the wall and seperate it with an impermeable cloth of some sort. Does anyone have any further suggestions or recommendations for working around this problem?
