| 502632 | 2006-11-28 10:15:00 | For mistakes, don't try this . For several months, I have saved all the stray hairs from my wife that happen in hair brushes etc . Yesterday morning I put half the hair on the hair brush and half on the pillow while she was having a shower . When she saw it . . . ! ! ! Well, I thought it was funny, but that was not the universal opinion 'round here . Hot tongue and cold shoulder diet for a moment or three . :lol: I would never had made that mistake . My missus has a . . . um, prolific head of hair, and its growth is equal to the loss . So there's tons of the stuff around the place . When we were first going out about 6 years ago she warned me that I'd get sick of it . I said never ! ! Well I've had to bite my tongue and live up to my promise ever since ! :lol: |

| 502633 | 2006-11-28 17:53:00 | Thomas, FWIW, this is a case for NOT using Google or even books. Contact your local gardening club / senior citizen's association / other such group, and put your plea to them. This is a situation where a real live human being (coming to give you on site advice) would be invaluable. | Strommer (42) | ||

Go to the local garden centre, library, citizens advice bureau, or yeah - Google - but only to make the contact and not to learn how to do practical gardening. |

| 502636 | 2006-11-29 19:35:00 | Iggy Johcar . . . If it has short roots and a larger upper growth, likely it's a weed . . . they don't go deep because they are just trying to live long enough to propagate then die . Most things you want and have planted on purpose will estabish deeper roots, not as a rule but as a tendency . There are some exceptions . Unfortunately we have quite a few exceptions to your rule, Joe . (Maybe roots go deeper in cooler climes than yours) My garden's most obvious example of a virtually unkillable, long-rooted unweedoutable perennial pest is the dock plant . If you don't get them while they're young, they'll outlive you . . . They've no flowers that you ever notice, but somehow produce enormous heads of seed while your back's turned . |

| 502637 | 2006-11-29 19:49:00 | Thomas mate. All you need to do to "send" a photo is to upload it to the likes of imagef1.net.nz and post the link to the forum you're asking in. Example... Here (www.imagef1.net.nz). At a pinch, you could even try that out on PF1 Chat. If a few of us know " a bit" about flowers ( which is all I claim myself), one of us might just know the correct bit - unless you have lots of rare exotics? Edit: It would help to know which area you're in? Makes a difference to what you're likely to be growing... |

Now I'm more confused than ever!! Tom |

| 502639 | 2006-11-29 21:50:00 | I understand your problem Thomas - my green thumb turns our plants black. For instance I'm told this is a weed?? ispb.univ-lyon1.fr | Winston001 (3612) | ||

Most things you want and have planted on purpose will estabish deeper roots, not as a rule but as a tendency. There are some exceptions. Ok, I tried this. It is a bit time consuming. Now, how do I stop Norolk pines from wilting after the replanting? All the Kauri trees are being chipped for compost and replaced with Docks. |

For instance I'm told this is a weed?? ispb.univ-lyon1.fr That's what I thought when I found some of that cluttering up native bush, Winston. But the young couple next door explained that it was a new variety of tomato plant & they were experimenting with different growing conditions. I don't think they fruited well, though. |
