Home and Garden

Katie F asked:


I’ve just moved into a house, and back garden has been left to overrun. Lots of the weeds seem to be some sort of trailer, and have deep roots.

What is the best, and easiest, way to overturn all the ground and plant grass seed? I’m not sure the soil is very good quality, but I’m sick of looking out at it at the moment!
We have a lot of cats in our area- will they rip up any plastic bags etc I put down?

I keep my turtles in a pin next to my vegetable garden and haven’t worried about the possibility of getting sick until the recent jalapeno scare.

I heard something about being able to order Home and Garden Party products online. Has anyone else heard anything about that? I have ordered Home and Garden Party products before. They have some really nice candles and stoneware. Would like to hear from a designer.

We have a 20 x 50 foot area for a vegetable garden. It has a ton of weeds. This Spring we used a hoe, cut down the weeds, pulled a ton of them then sprayed weed killer on top. Now it’s mid-Summer and the weeds are taking over again. What can I do?

I am just starting to plant my garden. I decided to do a small herb garden. I would like some examples of herbs that are pretty easy to grow and that taste great. I cook alot with oregano, basil, rosemary, and parsley. Have any tips or any other suggestions for a great garden? Thanks.

I have a very small garden in a suburb, about 20′ by 60.’ It has good sunlight. Most of it is a lawn with a small border full of plants. Is there any chance at all that I could grow enough potatoes to eat so that I don’t need to buy them from a supermarket - or is that completely unrealistic, just a pipe dream? I was wondering if I could buy seeds (or whatever it is you have to buy!) and just try growing some potatoes at the end or in a corner…just to keep my bills down and also out of sheer curiousity…

I am the first to admit that I know absolutely nothing about gardening…or farming. If I’m talking b/s please put me out of my misery now…but I just can’t help wondering…

Many thanks.
