I am new to the site and gardening for that matter. My lawn is dow
about 18months now and while there is good grass there is also a hug
amount of weeds. My question, is there anything I can put on the law
that will kill off the weeds but not the grass.

I am growing tomato plants in containers and have a question for you all.
When the plant stops producing tomatoes and the plant is still green, is it
wise to pull out the plant and start with a new plant?

My lush, green fast growing lawn had weeds and moss patches so I applied

The fence pannels around part of my alotment have had it. I would lik

would like it to be around 4ft - 5ft
Thankyou in advance,

I just had HUGE amounts of the worst, most deep-rooted
weed-grass taken out of a rose path, and don't want to go through that
again soon!

I have had rugosa roses in the backyard for two years now, and they
have not yet bloomed! Hips on  one (delicata) but that was it. Does
anyone know what is up? the soil is 3/4 regular dirt, 1/4 sandy soil.
PS No, I don't think it's deer!  ;-)

I have seven birch trees about 10 years old and 20 ft high planted in
two groups of threes and one single.  They are planted in Mississauga,
Ontario.  In spring the tree leaves emerged normally and all was
well.  About four weeks ago the trunk about 5 feet from the top of the

A friend recommended Night Scented Stock and as I was unable to find any
