    Cleaning bird droppings

    Will soap hurt my outdoor flowers? I've heard both YES and NO in answer to this question, so I wanted to get some thoughts and opinions here and maybe some alternate cleaning ideas. We decided to put a bird feeder in the tree in our new garden in front. Our cats already spend a lot of time...

    New Mantis in Residence

    And another! Last night, I found another even smaller mantis in another section by a rose bush and some mulch. This fellow was REALLY small! Hopefully he'll choose to stick around as well. There he is on a rose leaf in the first two pictures and a wider angle shot of the area for frame of...

    New Mantis in Residence

    Last year I watered some lilies along the side of the house almost every day. Each time, I had a large green praying mantis that came up out of the lily furthest to the left and a large brown one in the lily furthest to the right. As soon as the hose hit the lily leaves, those buggers would...

    Weed control from adjacent vacant property

    I live in a very small lot with very little green space. I have a chain link fence that borders an adjacent property which has been vacant for the past almost two years - a foreclosure that was just recently re-purchased by the bank. That property has not been regularly maintained and remains...

    New user from Ohio

    I just found and registered for the forums today. I am a registered member of quite a few other Internet forums, but this is my first foray into any gardening forums. I am usually more of a lurker than a poster in most of the forum communities I join, but will throw in my thoughts on...
