Q:I have problem of nematatoes in our home garden, let me use neem cake to avoid this problem

I don't know about neem cake, but I know a little about neem. It's a natural product that I used on my roses as an bug preventor. I've never had nematodes, so I have no tried and true remedies to get rid of them. Why don't you call your County extension agent/office and ask them what is recommended for your area. You could also try a web search or look up the manufacturer's web site and see what kind of info they have for you.

Q:As a watering girl for the plants, and they told me I had to learn basic gardening such as what kind of grass grows in my area/region, and about the type of grass and plants, does anyone know a good website to learn about gardening that I can use now and in the future? I want to try and work my way up after being there awhile.

Ask your supervisor for the answers, he or she should be your lead.

Q:Some of my Friends are saying quot;WOWquot; and other things, Im just going to grow Vegetables and Some Flowers (to make it look nice). What should I do?

My second oldest son just got put in charge of the big garden at his university. My oldest son has a huge garden and is selling vegetables to farmers markets and to an inn near his home. His wife was raised on a farm but he's the one that does most of the work in the garden. I'm glad they didn't think it was a girl thing when they were young. They were great helps in the home vegetable garden my husband and I have. That second oldest son also designed and planted a study garden. It was a place for him to study away from his younger siblings. Its a great place to go to for peace and quiet. Its full of ferns, flowers and shrubs. Grow some weird vegetables that will amaze your friends and shut them up. I grow brilliant GREEN and blue corn, purple sweet potatoes, purple green beans, purple tomatoes and purple potatoes. You can find the seeds from Baker Creek Heirloom Seeds. BTW, the guy that founded Baker Creek started the company when he was just a kid and look where its taken him!

Q:I am looking to fix a relatively cheap soil test kit, most likely one that you send out to a lab for results, which will tell me if my soil is safe to plant a vegetable garden in. I have found a bunch of different soil test kits, i.e. PH, moisture, etc. but none for contaminates. Thank you for all of your help in advance !

I can only speak from experience which is slightly old now that I'm retired.......The tests for contaminants is contaminate specific, that is you must specify what contaminant you are looking for and then the appropriate test is made.......at a very high cost......$150 a pop back then. We could not do a broad screen contaminate test.....we had to have an idea first. I'd suggest you have a typical soil test done by a Laboratory and include micro nutrients such as iron, etc. Contact your Cooperative Extension agent in your county to learn about the soil test process, how to properly gather the soil and how to package and of course, how much $ to include. The agent can also help decide if the soil might have been contaminated. A simple test for herbicides is to gather some soil into two pots. In one grow lawn grass or corn and in the other grow beans. Certain herbicides work on either a monocot or dicot type plant. For example if you can't grow the bean but can grow the corn you know the soil has residual herbicide for dicots.

Q:I have been staying at home with my daugther for the last 7 months and i have to go back to work to pay the bills, i only have a high school diploma so no college training, i live in mount sinai, NY any advice an good jobs to get around here that will pay good

I am a mom of 4 and I am Stayin Home and Lovin' it!

I would be happy to share, it is pretty exciting. I have been working from home for 4 1/2 years now and LOVE IT. If you want details, just let me know.

Q:I have a sort of Mexican themed home with lots of dark rich colors leather furniture. Thank you so much!

Pier 1 and Cost Plus both import a lot from Mexico and south America. Cost Plus is a lot cheaper and has a better selection.

Q:I cover it with cardboard and tie it with string (my hamster does not chew it so it's good lol) so should this be OK?

While wire rodent wheels are cheap, they are definitely not recommended. I would suggest the Silent Spinners, Comfort Wheels, as well as Wodent wheels. These wheel types have many advantages to you, the owner, as well as to your hamster. Of course with wire wheels there is the concern of harm to your hamster's feel, back(if wheel is too small) and tail, but with solid floor wheels they are easier to clean, quieter, and depending on brand may last longer than the metal counterparts. In the long run, I would choose another wheel. You could make adaptations to try and make your current one work, but it is much easier and cost effective to buy another. Wheels themselves are not that costly.
