Q:How can you grow a home garden in a drought?

Most people use aqua phonics for gardening that have problems with water shortages. It only uses about 10 percent of the water supply that you would use in a regular garden. It is like raising fish and recycling the water through the garden.

Q:I already have squash, cucumber, tomatoe, corn, cantaloupe, and purple hall peas and okra.

I'm a beginner at planting but I'd say it depends where you live, what crops grow best in what climate(s). What about Watermelon or Peppers?

Q:What are the decorating trends this year/or season for a home? What room scents are the most popular, candles, incense, etc. What flowers are popular for Fall and Winter(store bought of course)?

Thanks! =)

Q:Im 18 years old and i just moved out on my own. Im looking for a magazine that has, decorating tips, easy recipes, health tips, fashion and beauty. I was thinking better homes and gardens. but i didn't want to subscribe and not like the mag. what do u think? will i like it or do u think there would be something better i would like.Please no smart remarks.Thanks

It's a great magazine although there aren't many beauty tips in it, just mostly about home and garden and they have wonderful recipes. It's worth the money to subscribe instead of buying off the stand. I know you must be excited about getting your own place, Good Luck!

Q:I'm thinking about planting something in my gardening and my friends tell me that pH is important factor to consider when I'm trying to decide what to plant. What's so important about pH?

In the simplest terms possible, pH is important in gardening because: There are many different nutrients and micronutrients in soil that plants use for many different internal functions. Many of these nutrients which your plant needs can be in the soil, but can't be sucked up by the plant unless the ph is correct. If the pH is too high or low the nutrients can be essentially locked in the soil. However, for the most part, a neutral or 6.5 to 7 pH will do fine for the plants most people typically grow. Store bought potting soil will almost always be around that number. Some plants however prefer a slightly acidic soil, like african violets. pH really shouldn't be much of a problem for you, but if you find your plants are growing extremely slow and look tiny or frail, you might want to test the pH with a kit which can be found at most homegarden centers and adjust as neccessary. Your friends are over exaggerating, however, unless they are referring to the sometimes sensitive cannabis sativa. In that case, test the soil before planting, but you should be more interested in its drainage properties.

Q:We just bought our first home and there is a large garden in the front yard that was started but never finished. It has decrative stones and it's freshly mulched, but nothing has been planted. Now what? Any suggestions? It's partly shaded, partly sunny. I would like to fill it with something pretty, but most of all EASY! I've never gardened before - HELP!

About the first of May, go to the garden center and buy some good looking annuals. Maybe verbena for the front and zinnia toward the rear. Later think about getting a few rose bushes and a couple of perennials, like iris. Plant daffodil bulbs next fall...and you have a garden.

Q:How can I enrich my home vegetable garden?

Miami is one of the most used vacation spots and with hotelbye you'll find out more. Miami has something for all; from the cool nightlife of South Beach, bejeweled by a person's eye chocolate of the Art Deco region around the bustle of Calle Ocho and the extremely caffeinated energy of Little Havana. The Art Deco District brings right back thoughts of an earlier time in Florida with its incredibly restored 1930s Art Deco houses and is a place well visited exactly like Bayside Marketplace. This place is really a big outside fashion mall with more than 150 specialty and tourist shops, numerous bars and restaurants, and daily stay entertainment.
