Comment on Keeping Dracaena Spikes As Outdoor Perennials by Maggie44

I planted about fifteen draceana plants in my backyard last spring. I live in eastern North Carolina. I left them in the ground for the winter as they were marketed as perennials. The leaves are brown now. Will they put out new growth? Should I cut them back?

Comment on Natural Cat Repellent: A Natural Way to Keep Away Stray Cats by James Fahy

Hi guys!

For what it’s worth, our two cats (oriental and tabby) absolutely love rosemary, and lick it to death whenever we drop some. Luckily, it’s non-toxic, as far as I can tell. We pluck it fresh from our yard here in Canberra.

Hope this helps someone!

Have you used this? Powdered milk is not like baby powder. It doesn’t cling very well.

So, you don’t need to cook the Poke stalk like you do with the leaves?

My friends dad brings his in every winter and returns them to the outdoors every summer. Im not exagerating when i say his 3-4 year old spike plant comes up to my chest (im 6′ tall). I dont know if its a fluke that it got this big so far but maybe its because he gives miracle grow like all the time. pretty cool plants when they are put in massive pots and go from plants to “trees”.

I live in zone 3 in Saskatchewan, Canada. Do you have any tips on moving dracenas indoors for the winter. They have grown quite large outside and I hate to lose them to winter. I wondered if these roots could be dried, like some do geraniums, then reppotted in the early spring? Look forward to hearing from you. Thankyou.

Comment on Scotts PatchMaster ‘Sun and Shade Mix’ Review by Stan

Billly, Barbara, and Craig have it right. This product is worthless. I have had many years experience in lawn care, followed instructions carefully, and applied product at a good time of year (late September) . If I had saved my sales slip, I would have sent it to Scott’s for a refund. As it is, I’ve posted a review of this same sort on Scott’s website and will write to them about the results I got.
