Stupid question.... the kids and i want to make some origami paper seed pots this winter for a fun craft project. Does it need to be newspaper ? Would colored printer paper take too long to decompose? How about glossy wrapping paper ? Thank you ! Save the bees !!

Wasp-like insect
A wasp like insect embedded itself in the side of our portable garage. It is a couple inches long with a long, hard stinger on the end. It went through the lining of the garage and got stuck. Any idea what it could be?

Best time to transplant upright Yew and Butterfly Magnolia?
Hello! I'm looking to transplant my upright yew shrub and butterfly magnolia shrub to other parts of my lawn. I live in South Minneapolis (East Harriet Neighborhood) and both plants are about 4 years old. The new location for the yew is only about 20 ft from it's current location, and will have the same type of light exposure and soil. Its about 7" in diameter and seems to grow well in it's current soil. The magnolia has only started to bloom this past spring, and only had 4 blossoms. It's starting to form many more flower buds now so I expect a better bloom next spring (unless I move it now of course, I am prepared to have to wait a few more years to see blooms again). It's about 6" in diameter. It would be moving from the back yard (facing west, with plenty of southern exposure) to the front yard (facing east, with less southern exposure but still plenty of light). I'm wondering what time of year is best to do this? And any tips to ensure they are healthy and happy in their new locations? Thanks! -Leah Comfort

Japanese Knotweed
We recently bought a coastal property in Clatsop County that has an aggressive patch of Japanese Knotweed. We've tried a number of things, none of which seem to slow the growth of the patch. Without completely ripping up the property, what's the best way to fully remove the patch? Thanks, The Andersons

Preserving perennial plants around a dying tree
When is the best time to have a dying 25 year old maple tree removed and preserve perennial plants around the tree. Hosta plants, geraniums and yew that are about 2 x 3 feet from base of tree.. Is winter the best time when plants are dormant, and can survive the trauma or spring and remove plants and replant. Stump to be ground out also.

When to install a septic blanker
I bought a septic blanket and want to know if I need to wait until the grass has gone dormant due to frost before I place the blanket. I am concerned that if I place the blanket too soon the lack of sunlight might kill the grass. Thank you

Should the lower branches of an evergreen tree be cut off?
We sometimes see evergreen trees whose lower branches have been cut off. Is this a good, bad or neutral idea? A picture of our tree is attached. Do you have a recommendation? Thank you!

Is this a praying mantis?
Not really much of a question but more of a sighting. Found this on the back deck in madelia MN. I've heard that they've made it into WI. Guess they're in MN now too.

Perennials and ground cover taking over my garden
Hello, We have 3 garden areas. Tall phlox dominates one, there is some bee balm and daisies. The lilies have been choked out. We used to mulch but a ground cover (Moneywart or Creeping Jenny?) pretty much fills in around the Phlox/Bee Balm. In the other garden Phlox and Russian Sage dominate and a perennial creeping Geranium is filling in around the bottom of that garden. In the 3rd garden, Coneflowers on steroids are chest high and spreading more and more each year. Should I be cutting all this down? Dig it out? What should I do for Fall maintenance of these monster plants? Thanks,
