    Honeysuckle Pruning

    I have a row of what I think is honeyrose honeysuckle at the lot line between my house and the neighbor. It has been neglected the entire 7 years that the previous owners lived there. It is now at least 12 feet tall and the leaves and flowers are only growing on the top third. Thus, you can...

    Workplace Gardens

    Anyone here have one? I work in the Nutrition Department at a Big 10 University. Work within the department varies, but most people (faculty, staff, undergrads, and grad students) are very health conscious. Some of the research going on has been interdepartmental and focused on obesity, diet...

    Pruning Honeysuckle

    When do I do it? I'm in WI, it's starting to feel fallish. I have a line of 20-25 honeyrose honeysuckle that apparently used to make a hedge, but is now overgrown. I'd like it to be hedgey again.

I have heard of using clover as a cover crop to keep weeds out while I'm not growing anything. The weeds get pretty raucous out there as the garden is next...

    Rhododendron

    I've lived at my house for about a year now. There's a rhododendron in the front that I *thought* must have bloomed before we moved in. Now I come to find out that it barely blooms at all. We got 2 flowers on the whole thing this year, it's maybe 1.5 ft tall and wide. Does it need pruning...

    What is this and how do I fix it?

    I have this line of shrubs (that now look like trees, 10+ ft tall) on my lot line. I was talking to the neighbors who said that the people who lived here a long time ago used to keep them pruned such that they were a 6 ft tall hedge that you couldn't see through. The people who lived here...
