Donna asks…

What is your opinion of the Royal Empress Tree?

I have ordered one from a gardening magazine, but now im afraid to plant it !! I have heard very conflicting opinions online about it and wanted to know if anyone here has had any personal experience with one. Some say it depends on the area where you live , well i live in Ohio , and i have no clue haha.
oh and people say that it is a nuisance and a very invasive tree, and alot of times can end up just looking .. crappy ( for lack of a better word )

GardenersCardiff answers:

Many States have it listed as an invasive weed. So I have a bad opinion of it. I think it is just something that got used because it was so plentiful. Maybe you can grow it without proplems. Call you local Ag Extension office. The State University usually has good info.

But they are s’posed to be pretty. Just grow too fast and have too much seedlig success.

Sandra asks…

Where can I find ‘beneficial nematodes’ that go in the garden hose to rid Fleas.?

I read in the answers to someone elses flea question that someone used beneficial nematodes that went in the garden hose, they said they baught it from a gardening magazine, I have done a google search and have found nothing. If someone could advise me of what magazine or company, anything would be great.
These fleas are driving me nuts.

GardenersCardiff answers:

I googled “flea and nematodes” and got this:
http://www.gardensalive.com/product.asp?pn=2779&sid=100308&eid=&bhcd2=1200521529

EDIT: beneficial nematodes certianly do work to eliminate fleas! They are just more expensive and have to be replenished fairly often.

You may also want to look into a product called Over n Out ant killer. It contains Fipronil (same active ingredient in Frontline) and can be purchased at lawn and garden stores (home depot, lowes, ect).

Carol asks…

GardenersCardiff answers:

Richard asks…

Looking for a tote bag featured in a magazine?

I saw a yellow tote bag with white birds printed on it in either Family Circle magazine or Better Homes and Gardens magazine. It cost 7.50 and was in a feature with other bags; it was available for purchase on a website. Thanks for any help!

GardenersCardiff answers:

Did you check the details in the back of the magazine?
Im sure they have it , check :]

Charles asks…

What would your home’s theme song be and why?

As the Editor of Better Homes and Gardens magazine, I’ve seen many houses that have enough character to warrant their own theme tune. What would you suggest for your home?

“We Gotta Get Out of This Place” by The Animals

The taps drip, the fridge needs defrosting every three weeks or it doesn’t work, the doors don’t close, we can only run power from half the outlets in the house, there is mould on the walls, the bogong moths don’t seem too keen to continue their journey down to the mountains once they see our place and the upstairs neighbour plays car racing video games till 2am (that’s when he’s not playing “lets rearrange the furniture” or slamming his front door every half hour)
There must be a better life!

James asks…

Has anyone ever seen a hummingbird do this?

A few years back a female hummer came to my window feeder. In amazement, I watched as she had a baby on her back, while she fed. I had my camera handy, but could not get to the window carefully, before she took off. This would have made a fabulous picture. I’ve never seen any pics in garden magazines of this, and wondered if anyone else had ever seen a mama hummingbird take her baby for a ride.

GardenersCardiff answers:

Think of how many people there are in the world. I bet someone has captured this before.

Chris asks…

Does anyone have a meatloaf recipe from the March issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine?

It’s one of several in the article titled “Thoroughly Modern Meat Loaf”. The recipe I’m looking for has a teaspoon of beef bouillon granules, along with the traditional ingredients. Thanks for any help.
Thanks, Smokies Hiker. Am I missing the “link”, though?????
You are right, the meatloaf is great. I made it one time and meant to keep the recipe but I inadvertantly gave the magazine away before copying it. Bummer!

GardenersCardiff answers:

Here’s the link you’re looking for! This meatloaf is great! Straight from Better Homes and Gardens Magazine’s own Chef, Scott Peacock. Enjoy!

Betty asks…

How can a pond fountain work with a solar panel?

I try to put a fountain in my garden pond I would like to make it solar powered and don’t know how. I’ve see it in garden magazines and I would like to do that in my yard.

GardenersCardiff answers:

You can buy them. Oase makes the best one I know. That said, the technology for solar powered pumps is not as good as it could be and the failure rate is high. I wish they were higher on the list of important things to do.

Mandy asks…

David asks…

How can I write a complaint letter to Better Homes and Gardens magazine?? I can’t find their address anywhere!?

not the one in Australia either, just the regular Better Homes and Gardens Magazine.

GardenersCardiff answers:

Go to pipl.com and search it and it should give you the address

Lisa asks…

do you know any good Garden magazines?

Also any Garden advise would be good

GardenersCardiff answers:

Organic Gardening is my personal favorite. The Herb Companion is another good one. The Farmers Almanac, Horticulture Magazine and Mother Earth News are also good sources if information. My local library subscribes to all of these so check out yours and see what they have. Best advice- Use lots of clean compost and rotate veggie crops yearly. Good luck

Helen asks…

I’m making a scrapbook with magazines/pictures of me & my friends/family. What are good magazines to use?

I want to buy some magazines to cut up and use the letters to spell stuff, and I want lots of cool/ interesting pictures. I’m 17 years old by the way, so Better Homes & Gardens, isn’t what I’m looking for.

GardenersCardiff answers:

Good Housekeeping? Just kidding! LOL

Why not go to a place that sells magazines, and look through a few to see what you want. You’ll see what is available that way, and can better make a choice. I don’t know what your definition of “cool/interesting” is for this, and I’m far from 17, so I don’t know what is even out there for your age group.

Sounds like a really fun project though! Scrapbooking is a very big thing now, so you will find some neat papers and other things in the hobby section at stores, too! Have fun doing this!
