Garden Furniture FAQs
How can squirrels and other rodents be discourages from digging up plant bulbs?
A great option to accomplish this is to sprinkle some hot pepper into the hole before a bulb is planted. It can also be mixed in with seeds. Inserting screens around the bulb is another option. Some people use mothballs but these are very dangerous for children, pets, and beneficial outdoor creatures.
How can I know when the danger of frost has passed?
Often, packets for seeds emphasize that they should not be planted until any danger of frost has past. A great way to figure this out is to check with the Cooperative Extension Service or local weather bureau of your area. The estimates they provide will be presented as averages. For particularly sensitive plants, wait a couple weeks past this date before planting.
What is a Zen garden?
This is a Japanese rock garden, it may also be known as a "dry landscape garden." They are influenced by Zen Buddhism and can often be found at Zen temples of meditation for that reason. Rather than including water, these gardens have gravel or sand which may be raked or unraked. These elements symbolize other aspects of nature.
