Certified ExpertA.A garden rake would be much sturdier, and make the job much easier. I'm sure a grass rake would work just fine, but it would make the job much easier having a garden rake.

Peat moss next to wooden buildings; termite problems?

April 22, 2018A.Peat moss doesn't contain nutrients in a form termites can use, so they wouldn't use it as a food source. It's possible that they (or other critters) could hide between the peat moss and the wood, though, but I don't have any specific information on that. It's also possible that mold could be a problem.

Rock Rapids, IowaQ.How to get rid of ants
The fist step in controlling aphids is to control the ants that feed on the honeydew they secrete. So how do we get rid of the ants. I have no images.

May 4, 2018A.Actually the opposite is usually the best treatment plan. Treat the aphids and remove the food source of the ants. Without aphids the ants will generally move on.
Neem Oil is a good treatment for most aphid infestations.

May 7, 2018Q.neem oil/cake
is neem oil/cake good for compost, for keeping unwanted bugs (root eating insects and other non beneficial insects away, i have no garden and am not allowed a window box. i am trying to grow beetroot in a pot but i am not sure if the neem is good for the beetroot. also i am looking to find neem oil spray to spray on the leaves. so far all i get is buy online there must be stores in kent that sell neem - after all surely the gardening centres, b&q must have heard of it so why if it is any good are they not supplying it. i live in erith so is there any store or shop where i can buy it. thank you. the reason for asking is that if it kills the bugs undesirables, can the beetroot be eaten adn does it damage the compost or the vegetable. not much use if the beetroot is going to be oily as well as the compost. as for leaves if sprayed on lettuce leaves can the lettuce leaves be eaten, the idea is to remove the bugs and keep them at bay but i do not want to eat vegetables and lettuce if it is going to cause harm. and yes i do like a straight answer. not the absurd type.
