What kind of shrub,bush, or flowers can you plant in a wet muddy soil and bright sun? Preferably flowering?
Cynful63 asked:
We are putting flower beds in front of the house and there is one area (4ft.) wide that stays muddy-wet all the time. We would like to have a pretty flowering bush, shrub, or plant/flowers to put there. What grows good in wet, very wet soil? It is also full sun most of the day and very hot!

Has any one ever heard of putting newspaper in your flower garden to prevent weeds?
Ray Ray asked:
Last year, my flower garden had so many weeds, I couldn’t stand it. I heard some where that if you put newspaper down first and then water it and then cover that with mulch, that the newspaper will prevent weeds from growing. Is that true? Is there a certain way you have to do it? Any input would be nice.

can i use dog droppings in my flower garden to get rid of rabbits?
Jodi K asked:
I’ve heard of using dog urine to deter rabbits from a flower garden or dog hair but since I have no way of collecting my dogs urine and he doesn’t shed, can I use his droppings to keep rabbits out of my flower gardens?

Which mulch should be used for a flower garden?
HC Investigator asked:
I am so confused. I would like to know which type of mulch to buy for my flower garden? I have used what is in my yard to the best of my ability but will need something more. Cypress, Pine, Red Bark…Nuggets? What is best? I have never had to buy it before where I used to live. I am in NW AR if that helps also. Thank you for any advice.
Thank you everyone for your help, I appreciate it and it looks like I’m leaning towards to the shredded cypress unless more suggestions change my mind. And actually I’m in beautiful Arkansas but Arizona is quite lovely as well.

Gardening / planting question? Whiskey barrel garden flowers?
? Jasmine ? asked:
Is there anything you need to do to a half whiskey barrel before planting flowers in it?
What I mean is…the smell of whiskey coming from a whiskey barrel is so strong, it seems like it would be toxic to the plants!
Does it affect them in any way?
Other than maybe making drunk plants?lol
