(V): I make home brew and I find the tailings in a small pot are excellent, and to make them child proff you can place it under a pot as long as there is acess for the slugs.

Субъект: Re: Is it possible to grow potatoes on an apt balcony?
Jim Dandy:Certainly can get a big enough container , I've used a plastic rubbish bin put some compost in the bottom , put a couple of seed spuds in and as the tops grow keep filling up with compost, just leave a bit of green showing all the time and make sure you put in enough holes for excess water to drain off.

Субъект: Laburnum tree
I want to know if I should prund my Laburnum tree, when we put it in it was a small bundle of leaves at the top of a long slender trunk. Then in the summer it went wild and sent out two branches which are over one meter long. Now it is shedding its leaves I'm wondering if I should cut it back. Any thought anybody?

☼ajtgirl☼: We had a problem with bamboo and were able to get rid of it using a product called woody weed killer. Don't know if you have that in the states but it sure takes the hard work out of getting rid of bamboo.
