The Gardener's Problem Solver helps you solve 80 gardening problems that plague us all. Does your garden lie in the shade most of the day? Try creating reflective surfaces; planting spring bloomers; pruning nearby trees; brightening dark areas with whites, grays, and pastels; or planting shade-loving plants -- dozens of which are listed for your convenience. Is your lawn unattractive? Think about leveling small hollows, repairing ragged edges, and fixing bare patches -- small changes that all do wonders for your lawn's appearance.
