Deborah asked:


Which countries around the world have lots of gardening centres?
There are certainly plenty in my native England, because there are so many keen gardeners. Where else would I expect to see garden centres, and gardens that the householders look after?

somebody asked:


I’m starting a small weekend gardening business. Basically, I come to your place and prepare a bed for flowers or veggies or whatever. I use a troy built roto tiller and can bring fertilizer/lime/organic to mix in if needed.

I was thinking of charging $50/hr – does this seem fair? Or should I come up with a flat rate?

Earth Child asked:


I need to do a controlled experiment where I remove co2 from a closed area.

I can’t gain access to soda lime, but will gardening lime, pickling lime, or something else work?

Elle asked:


i want to start gardening and i have sheep in my backyard so i thought the soil in there den would be great because it has a lot of manure in it. when i started shoveling i saw what are either worms or parasites in the soil. how do i tell the difference between the two and should i still use it?

My mother and i were gardening outside when she ripped out a small plant which we were covering with weed block. We discovered seconds after that it was a bay leaf plant. Is it possible to regenerate the plant by putting it in soil and adding some special formual to make it grow roots i’ve seen it done on a gardening tv show before. I just can’t remember what they did.

Ally asked:


I don’t live in an area where I can have a big beautiful garden outdoors. So, I wanted to try and grow some pretty flowers indoors.

I plan on getting some of the long, shallow tubs meant to store clothing under beds, and I will fill those with soil and put my flowers in there. Hopefully it will work.

Are there any books you can recommend for indoor gardening?

If not, can I at least get some helpful hints?

Stacey R asked:


I am 16 years old and I would like some extra cash. I wondered if a gardening business would be good? But the thing is I am scared and embarrassed to ask neighbours if they need anything doing as they know me!
What sort of thing should my business include, as in what jobs should my gardening business offer??

Please help, I would love to earn some extra cash but I dont know what my business should offer or what I should do to get started.

Thanks!

Does anyone know where i can obtain funding in bristol or the uk for a large gardening project in a community building i am working in.
We have little funding and would like the people in the community to come and enjoy what we have here. There are 4 gardens – a memorial garden – a courtyard – a creche and a kitchen garden. please email sallystockham@hotmail.co.uk if you have any ideas? thanks
Thanks for your answer. will try the national lottery, if you can think of anymore that would be great.

Sean R asked:


You know how Wal-Mart and K-Mart both have pretty big gardening departments? Well I don’t have either of those stores near me. I’m in Los Angeles, but for some reason they aren’t as big or popular here.

What other stores have good gardening departments? I don’t think Target does, as far as I know. Any others?
