The bark on my tree's branches have either gray or a very light lavender it really looks unhealthy.? Also we somehow have moss now growing in our yard, which seems to be trying to grow on our Lilac trees. I have scraped it off at times with a flat small stone, but what worries me is that it takes the bark off of the trees! What do we need to do? And who do we call? I have no photos. I already signed up for e-mail.? Thank You for any help you can give!! aziriel@roadrunner.com
It could be black spot fungus on your trees and plants. You need a fungicide to treat those. I've included an article with more information. I've also included an article about preventing moss on plants.

My neighbour and I share the front lawn, and we do not have time to maintain the lawn, and would like to take the grass out and put something like a rock garden, to save time and money. Is this something your company can help with?
No, we don't offer any services other than advertising space. Our main goal is to offer free gardening advice through articles, questions and answers and blog posts.
We do have article ideas on grass-free lawns. Another option is plant material that doesn't need mowing like a groundcover or a native grass (buffalo) that seldom needs mowing because it has a short height.

I have this plant in Florida. Have been down in a month it has a huge spike coming out of center Do I cut it off? Email miragirl1288@outlook.com
I would leave it and see if it blooms! It may be a flower spike. I don't know what type of plant it is or I would research it. I don't think it is coming out of the snake plants.
I have been in this house for 45 years and every year I break out in a rash after pulling weeds. The rash is not always the same. I know what poison ivy looks like and it isn't that.? Help!
I would recommend going to a doctor and having them do an allergen test.

Hi, I'm a GCSE student and I'm currently doing a project on garden hoses - where I am aiming to create a hose which uses rainwater and has an automated function when the air temperature gets to a certain point. Anyway - I have been searching online for some facts and information on hoses - but can't seem to find much. wondering if you answer a few questions: Do you think hoses use up too much water? How much would it cost for an hour of watering with a hose?
Hm. It would seem that hose diameter might affect how much water is being used, as well as the water pressure in your area. Restricting flow, or using them with a sensor to detect moisture will prevent using too much water.
As far as the cost- I'm sure that the cost of water is much different in your country than it is mine. I would have to recommend contacting your local agency responsible for the water in your area to inquire on pricing.
Here are a couple of articles that you may find interesting in the meantime: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/garden-how-to/watering/soaker-hose-irrigation.htm
