Could someone help identify these two shrubs? how about some clues as to where these plants are growing. Are they wild or cultivated? (by the way I never seen a site that sets so many cookies as photobucket) |

pondplants with a lack of nutrients? I'm not sure what your question is. What kind of plants are not doing well? Do you have pictures? What kind of filtration do you have? |

How well would mediterranean plants/trees grow in a greenhouse in northern Europe? The question is not whether it can be done but whether you can afford to do it. Heat and light are expensive unless you have a geothermal source and solar panels. |

How can I grow edible plants for a reptile in the reptile's tank? If you try this you should be sure to have a thermometer to check the inside air temperatures. A small fan to circulate the air might be a good idea depending on the size of the tank. The smaller it is the faster heat can build up. |

How can I get rid of ticks in my garden? Carnivorous plants are not an effective control method for ticks. I would be very interested in any research that has tested the idea out. |

Hardy plants for wind break in the Rocky Mountain West? Most of the cedars that are hardy in Montana will get over 20 feet at maturity. They do provide shelter but do not stand up well to freezing rain or ice storms. |

What actually occurs for manure to become considered “well-rotted”? This is a good point but can you expand on it further to make a complete answer? How would you know when the ammonia is gone? |

What are some reasons why a blueberry bush's leaves turn yellow? it's always a good idea to check what's going on in the soil. Grass roots will take compete for nutrients but are unlikely to cause the yellowing we see in the photos. |

Should mulch be mixed with something else? Just as a word of caution most established trees like it just the way it is. Those leaves you removed are nature's mulch. When you mulch you should not put more than a half inch to an inch on. (about the depth of leaves you removed....) |

Placing nitrogen fixers around established trees? I believe the goumi bushes are described here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elaeagnus_multiflora and they do fix and share nitrogen |

Transplanting into seedling starter? My opinion, without doing research on the matter, is that the difference between seedling mix, potting soil and seed starter mix is small. The packaging is the main difference. What you bought should work fine. |
