I found this giant grub (at least I think it's a grub) while fixing up the mulch around one of my trees. This thing is huge. It's thicker and as long as my finger. Only has six legs. Anyone kno...
My neighbour has a giant Sequoia tree approximately 125-150 feet in height in his garden. It has turned brown all over. This is in the UK. It has been a very dry summer. What do you think has caused
If you know of any sunflowers just like the giant ones (e.g. Mammoth Gray Striped, Mongolian Giant, and Black Russian), except with shorter, stockier stems (I'm thinking maybe one to three feet tall), that would be great. If they have smaller heads with the same large size of seeds, that's fine, too, but I prefer larger heads if possible.
I too doubt those products would be effective, plus I'm not sure I'd want to eat food from a plant that's been in contact with those products. I forgot to say dispose of the fabric pots - if you are allowed to burn stuff, do that, or leave them out of the way somewhere to completely dry out, then dispose of them. Slime moulds need lots of moisture to survive, though the spores can hang on ...
@Stephie I was just thinking of cheap food sources that might have valuable nutrients. It came down to potatoes and onions. I ruled out potatoes since they absorb more pesticides and herbicides than onions, I've heard. And potatoes might spread more diseases to tomatoes and peppers. I'm still thinking about giant squash, though. I'm just thinking about ways to make more kinds of organic ...
I want a tall hedge but keep it up to 5ft wide (once grown). I understand that for height I would need green giant arborvitae. However, they grow as wide as 15ft, whereas emerald green arborvitae w...
There is one glaringly obvious problem: the pot it's growing in looks way too small, especially as it's sharing space with a fuchsia and a croton. Elephant's ear is a large plant and will cope with being put straight into a 36inch pot on its own when you bring it home from the nursery (unlike most other plants). It's hard to be sure, but it looks like the container that houses the other one is ...
16 I set up a 7 cu ft rolling composter in my garden about 3 weeks ago and filled it about halfway with 1/3 food scraps and 2/3 cardboard/leaves/finished compost. My kids added more food scraps, so it's probably 50-50 now. I've kept it wet and turned it, but upon opening it yesterday, it had a sour stench and a lot of bugs squirming in it.
