A customer went to a garden shop and bought some potting soil for $11.50 and 9 shrubs. The total bill was $94.75. Write and solve an equation to find the price of each shrub.

Plant in a decent sized pot for root base to form. Put acorn in soil...1-2" deep. Keep soil moist and in sun 4-6 hours a day. In 6-10 weeks you should have a stem growing out of dirt. Grow in pot until strong enough to plant in ground.

Hedging Services Quinns Rocks, Are you wondering what type of hedge you would like to place in your garden? Well, you need to choose hedges that are pest and disease resistant, and of course these hedges should also be suitable for the climate and garden conditions in which they will grow.
When planning where to place them, you need to plot a line on your garden. You can use a measuring tape as a guide. The lines can be straight or curved, depending on your preference. Allow space for your potted shrubs and set them in two rows for a thicker hedge. When marking the holes, use the mature width of the shrubs as spacing between plants' roots. After that, you can remove the pots and start digging the planting holes. But always keep in mind the spacing for each shrub so they can reach their mature spread. Remember to water them well.

• Hedges look great! Any shape, size or for any purpose, they will add a great feature to your garden!
• Hedges change with the season. Depending on what type of plants you get they can flower or change colour through the year adding variety and interest to the garden.
• Hedges are wildlife attracting. Birds, bees, butterflies and other wildlife will be encouraged to enter your garden.
• Hedges are weather resistant. Unlike metal fencing which can rust or wooden fences that can split, warp or peel. Plants when properly looked after will generally outlive fences.
• It's easier to DIY. You don't have to pay someone to construct or fit a fence, wall, retaining wall for you, as you can plant a hedge yourself instead.

you may be over watering stick your in soil to check moistures in the soil

I've always had good luck with Lirope...it has nice, green grasslike foliage all season and beautiful purple flowers when in bloom. It's hardy and stays nicely shaped as it grows...

It all depends on what part of the world you live in.

First you need to determine your type and go from there.

One of the best thing to do to any soil type is to add organic materials to help loosen the soil and help it retain moisture but allows standing water to drain. With certain soils types adding a little coarse sand help drainage.

Yes but the focus of nutrients would be in a balance better used for trees. It will work on practically anything however.

It could be that the container they are in is too big. The top layers of soil are the first to dry up so if a container is too large for the plants, the nutrients and water could be washed down beyond the smaller plants reach. I would start by having the soil tested at a local plant and tree nursery. Over time minerals and salts can build up in soil to levels that may be tolerable for a larger plant that has grown in that soil it\'s entire life, but will mean doom and death to smaller plants or different types of plants. If the soil tests ok,. then I\'d try a smaller container. I\'m no expert, this is just from my own experience. Hope it helps.

Roundup works on the leaves of an active plant. It is not a preventative. Use Preen for preventing weeds. If you do spray Roundup on active weed, it takes two weeks before you can plant your good plant material.
