April 10, 2020Q.Is there a mixture that can be added to cremains that makes it safe for trees and plants. I have read your article. Thank you!
A company has purchased a forest (Mountain firs) neighboring our property. They want to sell the existing trees to allow people to bury cremains at their roots. They have a "mix" that they say makes the cremains safe for the trees and environment. Is there such a mix that has been tested and if so do you know what it is?? I have read your article. Thank you for the info and any help you can give me.

Recently planted and not sure if dead flowers need to be removed.

Certified ExpertA.Some plants don't need it, like wax begonias. When you buy a plant, the tag might say "self cleaning" and that means you don't have to deadhead. However, when stems get lanky, cut them back several inches to promote bushy growth.
Here's an article that should help:
