Hi! I’ve been incredibly lazy and have left my garden in a terrible state over the last 6 months or so, and recently had in a gardener to cut back the weeds and sort out the lawn. It’s in a really really bad state, bumpy, dark brown grass/hay.

I was wondering how to restore the garden to its original green and fresh state. We’re moving out of the house in about 6/7 weeks so would like to make sure it’s healthy before then.

Thanks!

Could I simply load the hose with the cleaning agent, pouring it directly into the garden hose, and then put a nozzle onto the hose, turn on the water and use the nozzle to regulate pressure and fluid delivery?
Course I would drain out the water from the hose first so as not to dilute the cleaning solution beyond a desired dilution of mixture….right?

Also lettuce, will this be able to last through 20F. We have a garden and these plants are obviously still in the growing. Mainly this freezing temperature will be through the night.
The low 20F’s should last for about three nights. Then it warms up to about low to mid 40’s in the day time.

Empress asked:


I always water my garden around 5 in the afternoon. It’s summer time and soils are really dry that they *****. How much water should I leave? I have red palms, palm tree, cactus and others.. I only stop watering when I see initial flooding.. since soil absorbs them, within minutes it’s all gone. But is it enough to last them the next day? Does the planting matter, like if the roots were planted really deep so they need more watering for the liquid to reach them?

I am wanting to make stepping stones, with my kids hand or foot prints, for my parents for Christmas. I want to be more for garden decoration than for stepping on, but also want them to hold up in weather conditions. Does anyone know of such a way for me to do this?
