Can they take tips out of gift card balances?
If you use a gift card and you want to leave a tip, can you take the tip out of the gift card balance? How does that work? For example, for Olive Garden gift cards.
GardenersCardiff answers:
No, a gift card balance is money that goes directly to the restraunt. A tip however, goes to the waitress.

How do I stop all the spam emails I get?
I filled out a survey to get a free olive garden gift card.I did not get the card but I cant stop all the junk mail now in my spam folder.
GardenersCardiff answers:
99% of the free offers are scam when the amount of the prize is over a few dollars. It is just to get your address to sell to mailing lists. I am sorry but it is next to impossible to stop. Many spam emails have a link to remove you but the majority of the time it just confirms that you exist.
NOTE: If the junk mail is actually in your spam folder then the Yahoo filter is doing what it is supposed to do.

What’s the best plant for someone bad at gardening?
I’m not exaggerating – I’ve killed an aloe plant, rosemary (twice), even a bamboo that you only have to water once a month! Right now I have a cactus as a gift and I’ve kept it alive for almost 6 months and would like to expand. I’m looking for an indoor plant and get some sun (I’m on the west side of my building). Sometimes I go away for a weekend and don’t really have anyone to water plants for me. Ideas?
GardenersCardiff answers:
Spider plants are hard to kill, and beginner gardners have luck with them:

Mandy asks…
whats a good gift for someone into gardening/compost?
My husband is into organic gardening and his compost pile is making me want to barf. If there was some product to break it down, it would be a win/win for us! He is also growing blueberries/raspberries/ and a peach tree.
Thansk for any advice.
GardenersCardiff answers:
A healthy compost bin has a rich soil smell that’s actually quite nice. If your compost smells like garbage or ammonia, it probably needs more aeration. Cut up the organic waste before adding it, and don’t forget to churn the compost regularly.
If he doesn’t have a tool with which to churn the compost, a garden fork would be a great gift. If he doesn’t want to churn the compost because it causes back discomfort, get him something to soothe muscle pains, or buy a compost bin that has a built-in mixer.
Worms are also great at breaking down large chunks of organic matter — red wiggler worms are pretty popular because they reproduce quickly, and break down o.m. Quickly; however, they are native to Europe, and like all worms, they run (or slither) from soggy soil, which might be pretty gross on a rainy day in the garden.

Are all Olive Garden gift cards redeemable at Red Lobster?
I know there’s some gift cards that say that they are redeemable at Olive Garden, Red Lobster, Bahama Breeze, etc. I’m trying to buy an Olive Garden gift card on their website but I am wondering if they would be redeemable in other Darden locations, too. Thanks!
GardenersCardiff answers:
I just looked on the Olive Garden and Darden websites and found that yes they are…. “Olive Garden Gift Cards can be redeemed at any Red Lobster, Olive Garden, Bahama Breeze, Seasons 52, The Capital Grille, or LongHorn Steakhouse restaurant in the U.S.” From what I see on the Darden site, it looks like those are the only Darden Locations
