Should I charge them a full portion of the bill (ie if there are 3 renters and 1 gardener, charge everyone 25% of the bill each month)?
Should I charge them a flat fee? If so, how much?
The garden is 13′x10′.

I myself am an avid gardener, but I don’t want green thumbs. Is there any way of preventing this? Thanks.

He said about $100 (NZD) but i’m not sure if this is too much or too little. I need christmas money!

The solution to this problem is to use compost as a source of food instead of chemical fertilizers

And How much space does it need from other trees? http://applestrees.co.uk/when-and-how-much-is-the-best-way-to-prune-a-peach-tree-and-how-much-space-does-it-need-from-other-trees http://applestrees.co.uk/when-and-how-much-is-the-best-way-to-prune-a-peach-tree-and-how-much-space-does-it-need-from-other-trees#comments Sat, 30 Oct 2010 17:48:50 +0000 admin http://applestrees.co.uk/when-and-how-much-is-the-best-way-to-prune-a-peach-tree-and-how-much-space-does-it-need-from-other-trees I just bought a house and we found we have a peach tree. When we moved in we found it had beared very small fruit (apricot size). I have been told I may need to prune it back and I have also been told to get space from the two Crepe Mertles (sp?) that flank it. I am a novice gardner and could use some advice. Also when I should prune, I understand is important as how much I prune from the tree.

How far apart should the trees be?

I do this as an alternative to aid digestion and wean myself off Nexium due to the side effects. What is the appropriate amount of apple cider vinegar to consume? Someone told me that vinegar can damage the kidneys. Is that true and what’s so special about apple cider vinegar, as opposed to regular vinegar?

Behind my house there is a wooded area, with trees that I would estimate reach 50-60 feet. These large trees, if they decide to fall, could destroy my home.

I do not want these trees to fall, I do not wish to cut them down. I want them to flourish. My concern is that there are smaller trees that grow nearby…in some cases within a foot or two of the larger tree. These smaller trees are 10-20 feet tall. I worry that the younger tree may be depleting the resources available to the older tree.

I should also mention the canopies. Because the larger trees are also fighting for leaf space, they end up leaning to get it…leaning towards my house, in fact.

So, the question…do healthy trees require a certain amount of private space? Or are the smaller trees no big deal. And should I be concerned about trees leaning towards my home, fighting for the canopy space?
