How can I kill aspen rhizomes or prevent them from sprouting in my yard?
Q. I rent and have a beeeutiful lawn and the people who own this have no idea what a pain it is to have these little trees sprouting up every where. There are probably 8 aspens around the house. If they were mine to remove I'd girdle every single one.

A. You can't kill them but you will have to manually cut them. Yes it is a lot of work but its the only way. Here is a link that may help with aspen control.

When sprouting beans, is it best just to eat the sprouts, or is the remaining bean nutritious too?
Q. I've just started using a home-sprouter. It seems that mung beans are OK to eat with the sprouts (what about the seed-pods though - best to pick out and discard or are they healthy too?) What about other sprouts? Lentils? Fenugreek? OK to eat the bean the sprouts emerge from? Any beans that must be discarded after sprouting?

A. Sprouting information you can purchase a sprouting jar (available at most health food stores) or you can make your own. To make your own get a 1/2 gallon clear glass container. Be sure to wash it out well. Cover the mouth with a fine screen and use a rubber band to keep it on. That's it. Really though, the purchased jars are inexpensive and are made just for the purpose. ** How to sprout seeds 1.) Place measured amount of seed, beans, or grain into sprouting jar. Add water and soak overnight following chart recommendations below. 2.) Pour off soak water and place jar mouth down at 45 degree angle for drainage and ventilation between rinsings, then rinse twice a day with fresh cool water. … [cont.]

Any ideas (besides picking them out) for killing the "plants" sprouting up in my lawn without killing grass?
Q. I'm having trouble with squirrels burying and planting stuff in my yard (someone keeps feeding them ears of corn and other stuff); the squirrels have been busy burying different things in my lawn all winter and the various plants are now sprouting up all over my lawn. Is there any pesticide that can be sprayed to kill these plants without harming the grass? Any other ideas? The are literally hundreds of sprouts and plucking them by hand will take forever and probably still not work totally.

A. There is, look for something that acts only on dicotyledons and not on monocotyledons and you will likely get rid of all non-grass greenery in your yard. The terms derive from the germination of the plants seed. Monocotyledons will only have a single cotyledons (starter leaf) where as dicotyledons will have two of those starter leaves. Because all grasses are technically monocotyledons, if you manage to find a good weed killer that targets only dicotyledons you'll be fine.

Stop feeding the other ones and more flowers will come. Or as a last resort lift them and put them in pots and plunge them and remember to water them. They get root bound and flower like mad. Kevin

Of course with sprouting you have to be careful to wash them at least once a day and when they get to eating size, get them under refrigeration. Too many spoiled sprouts causing problems...you don't need that.

Asked by G.O. - Tue May 2 02:31:27 2006 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Plant growth responses are called tropisms. Roots are positively geotropic - grow in the direction of a gravitational pull. Roots are positively hydrotropic - grow towards water. So both of these tropisms stimulate roots to grow down into soil. In the absence of any strong stimuli roots will grow straight in whatever direction growth began. Have a look here:

What large,shade-loving,purple -flower sprouting plant is this?
Q. I see this plant commonly here in northeast Florida. It's leaves are long and pointy like an Oleander tree's. The flowers bud in elongated buds like a bug's antennaes and when they bloom,which is frequently, they are purple with five round petals. The entire plant isn't cramped together, it's very spacey and long, if that makes any sense.
