For the first time, this year I am going to put certain plants in an outhouse with light and a heater that can be put on if necessary in the event of any really cold weather. My question is do I just leave them to fend for themselves, or should I water on a regular basis? Thankyou Lyn Nicholls
Many different plants will have different requirements. Typically, the watering will be pretty consistent no matter what plant you dealing with. You will always water much less than you would in the summer seasons. I would definitely check on them and water when it is dry.
Came with berries 3 seasons ago. Has not put any on since. Sun part shade. Any ideas?
I would, first, put dolomitic lime in the area to make sure your pH is not way out of line. Then you should give it a fertilizer that is high in phosphorus and potassium, as this will help with flowers.

Hi - My mature african tulip tree tipped half out of the ground during hurricane Irma... Rather than loose the tree I had it cut to a stump and dozens of new growth "branches" are growing from the remains... Question is: Can I maintain it as a bush and have it flower? Or should I just select a few best branches and remove the rest to re-shape it as a tree again? Thanks for any information - Regards, Bea Elliott Winter Haven, Fl.
Personally, I would just select a few branches to keep. Not because it would hurt the plant, but because it will eventually be harder to control as a large shrub. Either way you decide is acceptable.

What are some good garden tractor, residential tow behind spreaders for top soil and compost?
We cannot recommend specific brands, but this article might help:

It is focused on small farms, not residential situations, but the Cornell Small Farms Program has a lot of resources on smaller equipment, and they would be able to answer your question.
