Chia Herb Garden Instuctions?

Q. I have a Chia Herb Garden, but have lost the instructions that came with it. I checked the site but the link was not working. I know the basic sets but I do not want to miss any, i.e., i know with a regular chia pet you actually have to soak the animal for like 24 hours. Are there any tips or secret step like this for the garden, or am i supposed to just pour them on the sponge? Help!!!!! I need herbs lol!

My backyard fountain doesn't work?

Q. I have a three tier concrete fountain; it has a pump and the water should come out the top and out the drain in the bowl - but although the pump works, i.e. it has power, no water is traveling thru the fountain.

A. if your fountain is tall, your pump may need to be set to a higher rate. or your water level may not be high enough for the pump to take in water. does the pump work if you are able to just submerge it in a sink or bathtub? if it does you probably just need to set a higher rate.

Where can I find a fountain for my backyard of a boy pissing?

A. The statue you are refering to is the Manneken Pis, the original of which is in Brussels Belgium. Search the web for a landscape supply company in your area.

How long can an herb garden in the kitchen last?

Q. Does it have to be planted outside?

A. I grow all of my herbs in side 11 different kinds
I have them in med size pots
As long as you keep them trimmed and use a plant organic fertilizer or add very old compost you can keep them indefinitely

What type of lighting would l need to start a herb garden on my kitchen counter?

Q. Would this do? http://www.homeandbeyond.com/prod-0103420.html

A. If your kitchen is facing south where you get sunshine, you wont need any. If not, you will need a decent plant light that gives a full spectrum and gives over 2000 lumens. The tube type should be good if you are growing a row of them.

olive garden wall art?

Q. Does anyone know where Olive Garden gets their pictures and wall art they display in their restaurants?

A. They're all based on Italian art, I would type "Italian art" in on Google and see what you find. :)

Hope I helped!

What kind of plants would give my garden and/or planters the beach cottage feel? (east coast)?

Q. I love the beach and I was wondering what plants I could use to give my garden and platers that beachy feel. Can anyone help?

A. I love the beach too, and the one thing you see more than anything there is pampas grass. Find out if this will grow for you, and if not, then get smaller ornamental grasses to add to your landscape. You can also add potted palms (bring indoors in winter), ornamental evergreens, and beach pebbles. In planters you can use spikes and they will actually grow tall and palm looking if you bring them in over the winter.

I want to plant a cottage type garden..?

Q. in my front yard. Lots of colorful flowers; black eyed susan,meadow sage etc...my question is...how do you keep this type of garden looking kept?

A. It does not stay looking kept unless you get out there and keep it so.

Best to use primarily low-maintenance perennials ( no Delphiniums whatever you do! ) plus reseeding annuals like Cosmos. Keep the fussy plants to less than 20% of the total area.

Then expect to devote at least a couple hours a week to weeding, deadheading, clipping etc. Depends on how large your yard is.
