Jenny asks…

Is it a sin for a Christian to have a garden gnome ?

..with the pagan etc connections ?
What about if it says rude things to lady passerbyers ?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Yeah, you’re going to go to Hell – with the gnome of course.
 

Sandy asks…

What is the scariest type of monster?

No, I’m not asking for just a movie monster, like Freddy Kruger from Nightmare on Elm street. And NO, I do NOT want some smart-ass reply about how “humans are the real monsters” like I’ve seen elsewhere. I want an actual answer, such as banshee, chupacabra, etc. What is, in your opinion, the most terrifying type of monster, mythological or otherwise?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Those little elves people tell stories about! How they would kidnap children and play with others or take ur clothes

now im afraid of garden gnomes!

Donald asks…

How do I start a descriptive writing of small towns and villages?

I need to know how to describe a village where the children play soccer in the field instead of reading books or playing video games in the house. Small towns where life is peaceful and laughter of children can be heard in almost every corner. I need capture the right scenery and how to describe the place, the voices, the laughter… Even how to describe the sky, the weather, the sunset…Really hope you can show me how to write these…

GardenersCardiff answers:

Here is a technique I use:

Focus on one object–a house, a garden gnome, a tree–and begin to describe it in detail. Talk about the colours in the object, what it looks like at different times of the day etc. After you have described it at length, place it in the context of your city–where is it located? On someone’s yard? At the center of town? From that focal point I find it a lot easier to describe other areas.

A great focal point could be the soccer field. Talk about the divets in the ground, the springiness of the grass, the warm smell of dirt and newly fallen rain and the the pleasant firmness of the earth as it resists against the stab of your cleats.

Or something like that. 🙂 Have Fun!

Sandy asks…

why cant my fellow sand monkeys grow their own food?

I look over at the humans in Isreal and see ripe gardens. Yet me and mys “peoples” are too dumb to grow ours food. why ?

why?
my name is sean.
my name is sean.
my name is sean.
my name is sean.

GardenersCardiff answers:

*blink blink* Do YOU grow your own food?

Anyway… Are you just trying really, really hard to be a prick? If so, you needn’t put forth the effort. You manage it quite handily.

Thomas asks…

Who will grow their own food in the next decade?

It’s a ‘quiet’ story just now, but worrying nonetheless. In the UK, our seas have been raped dry (to coin a phrase!) & our farmland has been either polluted by chemicals or is cultivated to feed the beef industry.

Europe is now taking fish from some of the poorest countries in the rest of the world. (25000 tons per year, a good proportion of which will be thrown away…)

How will the world feed itself in 20 year’s time?
Making money is all well and good, but who out there can digest dollar bills or pound coins? What vitamins are derived from hard currency???

GardenersCardiff answers:

We grow about half our food, beans, lettuce, cabbage, strawberries, raspberries, figs, grapes, plums, apples, pears etc etc.
Aged 57 and 63, although very fit from digging etc!

Donald asks…

Is it best to and can you grow your own tortoise food?

Such as veggies and plants, what are the advantages and disadvantages?

Thanks 🙂

GardenersCardiff answers:

By growing some of your own veggies and greens you are assured that the food you grew did not come into contact with any pesticides or other chemicals, and it can also save you some money from having to buy everything you need from a store.

It will, however, take some of your time and effort and money to grow veggies.

Sandy asks…

What makes cigarettes bad or cause cancers?I don’t smoke,but I was just trying get what you think?

Is it the actual burning and inhaling of the smoke?
Is it the nicotine in tobacco that’s bad?Could they not some how get the nicotine out of them and would it taste bad to people if they did?
I know the nicotine part is the addictive part so if they removed it wouldn’t people not have the habit anymore.
Are people that grown their own better off than the people that go buy a pack the store?

GardenersCardiff answers:

I actually dont know why some of the products within the ciggs cause cancer, but I know its the Nicotene in the smoke..it is known that people that dont smoke but are around it are at higher risk for lung cancer. Also the ciggs contain carbon monoxide wich obviously is a poison and can labor your breathing or even kill you after so much exposure, along with tar that coats the inside of your lungs. I think to a point people that have their own, it would be better, because its just the Tobacco and not the tar and all of the other junk, but the carbon monoxide is produced by the combustion anyway, but when you buy in the store they contain filters so in a way that can be better you would think.

Chris asks…

if all of the smokers chipped in 5$ a month, could we legally rent land and grow our own tobacco?

or would that be considered communism?

GardenersCardiff answers:

“Third, you can’t grow substances that are subject to government regulation. Tobacco is subject to government regulation (taxation), and you can no more grow it than you could marijuana.”

Wrong. It is currently legal in all 50 states to grow your own tobacco. Been growing mine for years.

Maria asks…

What is the best way to smoke the purest form of tobacco?

I want to smoke “tobacco,” not the shit they put in cigarettes or anything like that. What is a method if taking in %100 pure tobacco?

(Please cite your sources)
is the best method of*

GardenersCardiff answers:

To smoke? Good luck. You would have to grow your own or buy it from someone that does.

Purest way I could think if is dry snuff.

Snort it. Not very social I know. But it will come back. Everyone is trying to turn away from cigarettes and this is the SAFEST alternative.
Not a single recorded case of cancer.

Sandy asks…

How do you grow button mushrooms?

Anyone know how to grow button mushrooms? Can I grow them at home? Where do you get the seeds/how do you start growing them? The big monster mushrooms will also work too(I forget their name). Is it even posible to grow them at home?

Can I grow them or do I need to leave this to a gardener with all the proper professionall growing gardening tools?

GardenersCardiff answers:

They sell kits, mushrooms grow from spores not seeds so I would be careful as they can germinate fairly easily and unless you know what you are growing you could grow things that are poisonous

try these sites.. I haven’t actually grown any myself, but have thought about it in the past..

Mandy asks…

What would the mcCanns have used to bury Maddie?

I know holiday apartments come reasonably well equipt, but with gardening tools?The McCanns must have gone to a store to buy a spade or something, and yet no shop assistant has come forward to identify them?Surely no one is suggesting they used their bare hands to bury her?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Remember there were a lot of building sites around the apartment and near the church!

Betty asks…

Where to get wood, timber and other things to build a shed for an allotment?

I just took on an allotment but there is no shed or anything, where do I get wood, timber and other bits to build a shed. Where do I get bits and bobs, garden tools to maintain it. I don´t wanna spend a great deal of money on it, better even if I could get it for free. Or is there anywhere near Lincoln, Uk a junk yard where I can get bits like that?

GardenersCardiff answers:

Join your local freecycle group and put a wanted ad. I got loads of bits for my allotment. I was lucky and got a greenhouse from ebay for £10. So it may be worth looking on there too. Best of luck.
