How to replace my gas hedge trimmer rope starter +1 I'd also mention that, while you've got it open, you might as well replace the rope if it has any wear at all. I find this procedure somewhat tedious, so it's worth putting a new rope on while you're doing the job anyway. |

How do I water my two apple trees? I'd ask about the spots on the fruit as a separate question. It's more likely to get attention and better answers. |

Keeping mulch from washing off of banks / step inclines Are plantings on these banks an option for you? You mentioned "Junipers etc" but didn't say what the outcome was there, or if you'd consider similar options. |

Is it possible to grow the corn kernels from commercial popcorn? Yes, my guess would cross-pollination. Corn grown for seed wants to have an isolation distance of 2 miles (!), so when growing for seed you'd want to bag the ears (and possibly the tassels). This would be a huge hassle if you're growing for food, so I'd guess that grocery store corn will all be cross-pollination "contaminated". |
