Its been many years since we had these big dogs here but the smell of them has never died. I weed my garden with my hands and then my hands then smell like dog piss.

Will line help? What can I do? The grass and flowers seem unaffected but I can’t stand the smell

I live on the third floor of an apartment building and something keeps eating my pumpkin plants. I have tried spraying the plants with pepper, but they just dig up the plants and eat the roots. I tried fencing the planters with plastic garden wire, but they chewed through and at the plants. The planters are too big to bring in the house every night; any suggestions?

I am planning a graduation garden party. It will be outside between 4 and 7 PM. It will be girls only. The youngest will be ten, but most of the people will be in their upper teens with a few mothers. It is going to be an elegant affair, with everyone dressed up.

I need ideas for entertainment fast!

Ok, I grew a radish in my front yard garden and the leaves are already there. Its been about 4-5 days since I planted it, so I’m really happy about that. But in the back yard garden is where I planted all the other radishes and squashes( which are sepperated.) is always dry so I have to water them every single day and that takes alot of time doing that because its a big garden. I tried the sprinkler but the garden is behind a tree so it hardly gets wet!!! Is there a way I can keep it moist without me watering it everyday?

smikoats asked:


I don’t know anything about gardening and don’t know anyone who does it. Where can I take classes that start at an absolute basic level and cover everything I need to know to start my own vegetable/herb garden? Even the arboretum doesn’t have classes like these.

I am wanting to make stepping stones, with my kids hand or foot prints, for my parents for Christmas. I want to be more for garden decoration than for stepping on, but also want them to hold up in weather conditions. Does anyone know of such a way for me to do this?

I have a small garden (vegetables and flowers) around perimeter of my house. Often see it in the fertilizer sections of stores. Don’t understand the concept of how it is useful in gardening. Also, any ideas on how to deter bugs from plants?
