I found the culprit! I didn't think caterpillars could leave such giant poops.

See the icky poo? There are a couple of other nearby plants with the same giant bites taken out of them, but clearly whatever it was it liked pesto best. I don't share well! Especially not the basil!!! :thun There is a chicken wire fence around the bed, so I'm having trouble figuring out...

We've had the cat for nearly 4 years, so he isn't going anywhere (we have 4 others anyhow). He no longer has hookworms, but he had them long enough on the rough streets of Auburn, AL to do some damage. My reasons for disliking this cat are many and varied, but I do feel sorry for him, so he...

I reluctantly took in a stray cat. My boyfriend loves him; I hate him. He waits until the wee small hours and digs up my garden plants. I thought he was just digging, but this morning I found a 'deposit'. I'm about to put up a chicken wire fence that may keep him out. My question is, should...

Must get that book! I've actually been going at it with a pick axe and a shovel. It's slow going, but I was pleased to find that once I got past the upper four or five inches, the soil isn't so badly compacted and there are actually earthworms. Essentially what I've got now is three big...

I'm in Carrollton. We have some of the richest, darkest soil I've ever seen, but you can't spit without hitting a 2-3 pound rock! I've been contemplating renting a tiller from the Home Depot. The hope being that I can till up the rocks, except those that break up and give me granite dust. Is...

Ouch, sorry about the accident. I'm glad your typing fingers are o.k.! I have a question about materials. I really want to build a greenhouse this summer, but I can't decide on a medium. The cattle panel?/plastic option seems really nice for its portability potential (we're engaging in some...
