Q: I want to cover a 30-by-100-foot garden in wood chips because it is on a slope, and the soil drains so fast that it has lost a lot of its nutrients.
Q: I sodded an area in my backyard last spring with fescue. I know I need to do some maintenance to it this fall. Do I just seed and fertilize, or do I need to aerate? It’s still green but starting to thin. — Conner Poe, email
Q: I have two pecan trees in my rear yard. I have tried everything I can think of to keep squirrels from climbing the trees and eating pecans while they are still green.
Q: I have two amaryllis bulbs that I planted in pots at the beginning of the summer. I intended to plant them in the yard but never got around to it.
Q: I am planning a permaculture garden on my half-acre lot. I know it’s best to plant fruit trees first. Which fruit trees fare best in this region? I would love apple, peach, plum, cherry and elderberry trees. Do you have any suggestions? — Samantha Reeves, White
Q: I have nine pots of what I’m pretty sure is purple heart (wandering dude) on my apartment balcony. They came from a bed in my sister’s front yard. What’s the best approach for their cold weather care? At my sister’s, the plants turn brownish but bounce back in the spring. If I bring them inside, they would get less light. If they stay outside, would they be OK if covered at night when there’s a freeze warning? — Liz Hornsby, Peachtree City
Q: I had a zebra vine with pinkish leaves that I wanted to propagate. Two pieces fell off when someone brushed against it, so I stuck them into two paper cups filled with damp potting soil. They were watered the same, planted in the same soil and placed next to each other in a window. But when the cuttings started growing, one looked like the mother plant. The other one grew upright, with HUGE, broad, solid green leaves! Why do they look so different? — Dina Lettre, Marietta
Q: We have been living here for over 40 years, and we’ve noticed over the last few years an increase of a 2-foot-high grassy plant taking over in parts of the woods. The plant turns out to be Japanese stiltgrass. It’s considered to be a seriously invasive plant in the eastern U.S. From talking with neighbors, it seems few have ever heard of this plant. — George West, Madison
Q: I am new to red clay and what can be planted directly, with no amendments or with amendments. I have two hellebores in pots. I’d like to find the perfect place to plant these in the ground in my garden. Before I do, what, if anything, should I do to amend the red clay soil? — Gail Vaught, Lavonia

Q: I need to know the spacing of male holly pollinators and their female counterparts. In my yard, if I space the male holly ideally from the females, it will get less than ideal sunshine.
