32 feet of fencing.determine the maximum area that can be enclosed with the fencing to make a flower garden?
annonomys asked:
You have 32 feet of fencing and want to determine the maximum area that can be enclosed with the fencing to make a flower garden. You do not want to deal with fractions or decimals, so you are limiting the dimensions to whole numbers. If the garden were circular in shape, what area could be enclosed with the 32 feet of fencing?

What kind of mulch should I use in my flower garden?
mlcacek asked:
I live in an area that is prone to black widow spiders. My MIL says I need to stay away from the bark mulches because black widows tend to like hanging out in damp, woody places. I want to know if putting bark mulch in my garden would attract black widows, and if so, what other mulches could I use instead.

How do I get rid of Chiggers in my flower garden?
toddler & twin mommy asked:
The ower of the house before me put red lava rock down right before I moved in. I was planting in the flower bed and noticed the Chiggers. I want to get rid of them without killing my plants, does anyone know what is best to use? I also have pets and children, so I would prefer something that isn’t quite so toxic, if possible.
