Q: My
lavender is looking pretty bad between seed pods
and woody stocks. When is the best time
to prune it back and how far down. It's
about 18" high. Q: how
do i tackle my ant problem? i have a small backyard
with dry, heavy soil and a raised bed surrounding the
perimeter. it seems like my backyard is on an anthill,
because anytime i deep water, i get millions of ants
coming up - with eggs. help!: Q: I
attended the water gardening class recently and
bought one of the 1/2 wine barrels and some plants
to embark on my new project. After about a week,
the water in the barrel was starting to smell
pretty bad. I added new water, even dumped the
old water out and added new water. Yet, the smell
never went away. It was really nasty. My plants
started to look very black and sad and smelly.
My question is, what did I do wrong? How could
I have prevented the smell and not kill my plants.
Any suggestions would be appreciated. We are Growing!
