I covered the dirt in the top of my pots with pine cones not to cover the dirt for appearances but to keep the squirrels from digging and everyone commented how appealing it looks

I had an appraiser, come and praise my house. And I asked him, I did professional landscaping all around my house with beautiful flowers and things put in it. And Bush and stuff, and I asked them, did that bring the value of my house up? He said, no, not at all. People don't even look at your yard. And I said to him, II feared to differ with you, because when I go to buy a house that's the first thing I look at is a yard. What's the yard looking like? Did they take care of it? So what you're saying is true, and I love your show, I just watched very informative, thank you so much. You gave me some awesome ideas. God bless you

Nebraska. Starting container flower gardening . Love this info ! Not planning on selling , but want to upgrade the look though my husband is disabled and we are both in fixed income . I save my own seed and it is a real joy to make spring planting very beautiful and inexpensive ❣️. Love the raised pot idea 💡

Yes, thank you! These are great ideas! I have not elevated pots off the ground. I am from arid Colorado.

I thought when my dirt dirt in my planter turned gray I thought it was contaminated, the dirt was spoiled or the dirt was tainted and through the dirt out but I kept the pot but now I know it wasn't all I needed was some Spanish moss, some River rocks, gravel to cover it with. Now I know better. Thank you
