Can I start doing anything for my gardening now?
Hi!
I know it’s only February, but I’m anxiously awaiting gardening season. (Vegetable gardening, that is.) I’m wondering if there is anything I can start doing in preparation for my garden now or soon. I live in New England, so of course there’s snow. But are there any plants that should be started inside, or anything else I can start working on? I’ll be selling a lot of my vegetables, too. Thanks for your help!

How to get light for plants inside my room?
I’m growing some plants inside, I open my blinds to give the plants some light everyday but was wondering if the glass from my window, which I don’t open due to the fact that it’s winter, might block out certain types of light that the plants might benefit from.
Also, would a heat lamp or something like that help them as well? Could this lamp be dangerous to me?
Any other comments feel free to post. Thanks a ton.

How to Mulch a Garden
Gardening doesn’t have to be a lot of work, especially if you use mulch in your vegetable and ornamental beds and pathways. Mulch is a huge garden timesaver because it helps prevent weeds, reduces the need to water, moderates soil temperatures, adds organic matter to the soil as it breaks down and helps your garden look tidy.

How do I get rid of serious weeds in landscaping??
So I have a serious weed problem. Every year I pull and pull and it looks clean for about 2 weeks then BAMN, 2-3 ft tall weeds in my landscaping, and fast, and everywhere. It’s absolutely overwhelming. We even have this really nasty one out front that grows to over 2 stories and completely overtook a tree (we had to cut down the whole thing, and I poured an entire bottle of extra strength roundup… the tree is dead, the weed is back.) How do I get rid of these nasty 2-3 feet perennial suckers without killing the rest of my landscaping? Tarp and mulch hasn’t worked… I’m assuming that the weed seeds might have spread to the mulch itself — I’m ready to WD-40 and salt my entire yard. Help!

What difficulties would prevent converting deserted “big-box” stores to residential apartment buildings?
It seems that an old Wal-Mart or Sears, with 20-25 foot ceilings would have plenty of infrastructure to supply many two-story dwellings, with atria and interior gardens, while providing enough parking outside for everyone. Soooooo, what’s the hold up?

Hi,
I have a (unplanted) new fish tank- no fish yet,,,,,
I want live plants for the fish tank, as I believe they help. So….
