Q&A: What is Permaculture? Question: I've seen the word permaculture lately in some articles. What is it?
Answer: In a nutshell, permaculture is the design of ecological habitats and food production systems to create a sustainable environment. It involves working with nature, recycling, reforesting the Earth, planting native and naturalized species, encouraging beneficial insects, and generally being stewards of the Earth. There are a number of books written on the subject. There are several websites devoted to the subject as well. |

Q&A: St. Augustine grass Question: When is the best time to reseed with St. Augustine grass?
Answer: St. Augustine grass is only available as sod or plugs meaning you won't be able to reseed anytime soon! St. Augustine grass begins growing in February, peaks in August, and slows down in December. Therefore, the best time to replant the lawn is when the established lawn is beginning its spring growth spurt, in late spring. |

Tip: Winter Orchid Care Orchids grown indoors are sensitive to low humidity. Place the pots on a tray of pebbles filled with water, or run a humidifier nearby. If disease is a problem, keep a small fan blowing near them during the day. |
