I'm planting my garden using 4 foot by 20 foot strips about 2 to 3 feet apart and leaving a 2 to 3 foot space between them. I'm wondering if a riding mower would be best to mow the strips if I leave them in grass. Does anyone have any thoughts?

I'm planning to have a large garden this year. I'm planting it differently than the norm. I'll be using 4 foot by 20 foot areas with about a 3 foot space between them. I haven't decided what to use for those spaces, but I'm only going to want to till the 4 foot by 20 foot areas that I'll be...

I want to plant different types of mint, but I don't want it taking over the yard. I don't want to plant it in pots that sit above the ground, either. What are some techniques for planting invasive plants in the ground that will help contain them to one spot?

I have an old mower that wasn't running quite right. About the time I was going to try to fix it, I pulled the cord to start it and it caught on fire. I got it out, but it was pretty much gone by the I did. Is there anything you can do with an old, burned up lawn mower besides throw it away?

My lawn looks good except for one spot where a couple of trees shade it. I've tried several types of grasses, but none have grown in that one spot. Is there any type of grass that really grows in shady areas? I'd even be interested in knowing if there is any type of low-growing plant that...

Are there any shrubs that provide color in the fall? I know there's a Red Twig Dogwood, but I don't want a tree. Are there any shrubs that have color on their branches, either all the time or in the fall?
