I’ve spotted several little hedgehogs in and around our garden, but would love to spot them on a regular basis and possibly provide them with an interesting and safe garden to use during the colder months.
Any tips?

TiredBird asked:


I just bought a house with a terrible back yard and want to rip out some grass (moss, really) and put in a garden. All the books I have seen assume I have a palacial estate and unlimited funds. Anyone know a planning book that deals with reality and not fantasy? I want to start a garden and maybe do some simple landscaping. I am in the Northwest. Thanks!

Also lettuce, will this be able to last through 20F. We have a garden and these plants are obviously still in the growing. Mainly this freezing temperature will be through the night.
The low 20F’s should last for about three nights. Then it warms up to about low to mid 40’s in the day time.

I currently live in Germany and our house is on the edge of a large Forrest. My garden holds a lot of water and is very soft under foot. Without installing a proper drainage system, how can I dry it out?

For some reason this year, I’m getting a number of tall skinny red mushrooms growing in my flower garden. I have no idea what type of mushrooms these are. Everytime I remove one, it grows back in a day and they seem to be spreading. Any ideas of how I can get rid of them?

How much should I charge someone to garden in my back yard?

Citizen asked:


Because they use water that all of the roommate pay for, I want to make it fair to everyone but there is no way to determine exactly how much more water the garden uses.
Should I charge them a full portion of the bill (ie if there are 3 renters and 1 gardener, charge everyone 25% of the bill each month)?
Should I charge them a flat fee? If so, how much?
The garden is 13′x10′.

We have been picking our own vegetables straight from the garden this year (our first time planting one). I am not sure how to store them until we are ready use them. We have alot of cilantro, parsley, green beans, peas, green onions, etc. Any hints on making them last after they are picked?
