Certified ExpertA.With so many people conscious about not using chemicals in their gardening, some products are labeled as garden safe. If you can't find one that is garden safe, use a regular product, then use a "pot within a pot" and set a nursery pot or other plastic container inside the coffee can to hold the plant. To water, remove the inside container, water, then return it.

May 13, 2022Q.You May Want To Correct Your Article.
Your article "Softened Water And Plants: Using Softened Water For Watering" has false information. Softened water does not contain a "high" amount of sodium. Check with your local water specialist. Sodium is used, yes, but very little enters the system of a softener. Otherwise, it would be unsafe to drink!

Certified ExpertA.I will forward your suggestion to the editor. Softened water does contain sodium, but not in unsafe levels to drink.

May 18, 2022Q.I Don’t AGREE To Cookies Etc.
Hey there- just fyi, i'm pretty sure you're losing loads of repeat visitors becoz of the way you handle the 'cookie' permission. #1. Its too big, i can't even see what's behind the cookie window- and that means i'm gone in 60 micro seconds. #2. Cookies are being used to insert viruses- it's a growing trend. People will reject your 'cookie' window- and again, losing valuable visitors. #3. Nobody trusts fake media and especially "Phake Gvmnt" these days with the curfews, vaccinations, quarantines, impositions on freedom- i'm 80% sure any visitors concerned about their privacy will simply bail out on your 'cookie' offer. Just a final word, i never revisit a site that gives me a huge 'cookie' offer i can't get around- that's it, a once time visit & gone for good. You're 100% for sure losing repeat visitors.

Certified ExpertA.No, we don't make house calls but it sounds like you need to add some plants that will stop the erosion. Native plants, groundcovers, or evergreens will do the trick.

Mothballs usually contain either naphthalene or paradichlorobenzene. Both of these chemicals are highly toxic and can get into the soil and groundwater. These mothball hazards may even harm the plants you are trying to protect.Please don't suggest using mothballs to repel deer!
