Everything GardeningRotoplast & Self Watering Planter Systems

Everyone is talking about it, but why?

I was once on a gardening/horticulture course and the people running it were so supposed to wear Polo Shirts which proved they were who they were – for the course. Anyway one removed his Polo Shirt because it was Summer and was then wearing a White T-Shirt. Should I of reported him?.

I’m not exaggerating – I’ve killed an aloe plant, rosemary (twice), even a bamboo that you only have to water once a month! Right now I have a cactus as a gift and I’ve kept it alive for almost 6 months and would like to expand. I’m looking for an indoor plant and get some sun (I’m on the west side of my building). Sometimes I go away for a weekend and don’t really have anyone to water plants for me. Ideas?

I have a close relative who went to Oxford for gardening yet they do really LITTLE of it (planting,designing, watching beaufiful plants grow).
Basically they haven’t any real experience, only book knowledge.
Yet I have this neighbor close by who is an avid gardener/plants many shrubs, bulbs,seeds, trees~just about ANYTHING you could think of. They enjoy it, get down in the soil and plant away …..
What do you think of the person who took gardening classes at Oxford TRYING to give advice to AN EXPERIENCED gardner of several years?
(tries to tell them what to plant, basically talking down to them,ect–when all they’ve personally planted was a couple of rose bushes and tomato plants?)
What’s your opinion on this matter please?
THank you for your thoughts

Hi..I was wondering if someone could tell me what vegetable plants are easiest to grow for containers.I do not have the room for a full size garden this year but would like to be able to grow some vegetables this year.Thanks

Because they use water that all of the roommate pay for, I want to make it fair to everyone but there is no way to determine exactly how much more water the garden uses.
Should I charge them a full portion of the bill (ie if there are 3 renters and 1 gardener, charge everyone 25% of the bill each month)?
Should I charge them a flat fee? If so, how much?
The garden is 13′x10′.

I’m very interested in gardening, yet I’m very young and know NOTHING about it, so I’d really like some advice on how I can start or even recommendations on books that can get me started.

I live in New Orleans, Louisiana and have been wanting to grow my own herbs and small plants. I don’t have experience in gardening whatsoever and I’d like to know what I should start off with and what plants/herbs are good for this climate (hot and humid). I would like to plant something within the next month. What’s good to plant at this time of year?

I am interested in turning my small time hobby of gardening into a bit of a career. Are there classes, certifications, training that I can take in order to become an expert on plants, trees, etc? I’d like to have a deep knowledge of the various kinds of trees, shrubs, flowers that work in different climates, how to best plant and maintain them, to design landscapes with a variety of well-coordinated plants, etc. Should I try to become a certified arborist? Where do I start exploring this potential new career direction? Thanks.
