Can the root of the redroot pigweed be eaten? If so, how is it used?

That's a hard one... if you have a picture of the underside (the gills or eves), that would help, also a spore print would be useful... Does it bruise (change color when pressed or scratched? These kind of mushrooms are commonly known as LBMs or Little Brown Mushrooms, which are some of the hardest to identify. |

It would help if there was a close-up of the flower, but from here it looks like a type of cinquefoil, like Potentilla recta other plants:

Is there a way to get a close-up of the flower? It looks like a mint from here... if the stem is square, and when you rub the leaves, it has a scent, it's a mint. Not sure which one.. |

I'm not 100% sure, but I looked in The National Audubon Society book and found a Rooting Cauliflower Mushroom that looks the same. It also said it is found growing on the ground under conifers and on conifer roots and stumps. |

Goat Heads can be a very difficult problem...and there is no sure way to get rid of them. They can be sprayed with chemicals, but this also kills any other vegetation in the area. Some people have tried introducing goat head weevils, which infect the seedpods and weaken them... This is not a sure treatment, and is usually only one part of a larger strategy.
Domestic grasses are also very hardy, and can often out-compete goat heads over time...you may try sowing the areas with large amounts of strong domestic grass seeds. This strategy certainly takes a number of seasons to be effective, but it may be your only practical solution, given the large amount of area you are trying to control. Perhaps the introduction of goat head weevils combined with liberal sowing of grass seeds, may over time be able to subdue the goat heads. You may need to implement these solutions regularly over the seasons before they are really able to break the goat head's cycle of reproduction.
Here are a few links that you may want to take a look at:

Vincent, I actually do not know where you can get pictures of the snail farming process. However you should take a look at this site which has information about raising snails as well as a variety of links on the subject.
http://www.nal.usda.gov/afsic/AFSIC_pubs/srb96-05.htm
I hear that Ghana has been doing great with snail farming.
"...Snail farming in Ghana has become such a lucrative business that agricultural experts are offering professional advice to prospective farmers to enable them to harvest more yield for the local and international market." (http://www.modernghana.com/news/63556/1/ghana-making-millions-from-snail-farmin g-.html) You could also learn it on line and visit a snail farm in order to visualize the process and even get some questions answered. Good Luck! |

Ah... it's a euphorb (Family Euphorbiaceae), I would have never guessed. If you edit the page, you can put the family name in the scientific name field and it will show you all of it's relatives. |

It should be very ready to start flowering soon, within the next year or so. It needs to experience a dormant (Winter) period before it will flower. They also might not flower if recently pruned or otherwise shocked. Also, as you probably know, these trees cannot get too wet or endure any frost. |

I guess it might take a little while to know if it's diseased, or just a little shocked. You will want to remove as much of the dead material as you can without destroying any of the healthy areas. If it doesn't look salvageable, the store that you bought it from might take it back. |

I could be how you are watering. Ficus trees don't like to dry out and then get a heavy watering. They prefer moist soil but will adapt to drier conditions, but need consistency.
In nature, ficus trees know two seasons - wet and dry. When you let it dry out, it begins to drop leaves to prepare for the dry season. Then you water, it begins to regrow. Keeping the soil moisture consistent will allow the ficus to settle down a stop dropping leaves. |

So glad I found the mushroom in question! I am on a dairy farm, and looked over at the paddock nearest me today and saw these large white 'balls' ! I investigated, and sure enough they were mushrooms! They are huge! So I can eat them then, safely? |

Hi cpelavin The flower on your profile, is an Echinacea, which is a genus (sub-family) of the Asters.. There are about 9-10 different species in the genus. you can upload images by clicking the "Add Image" icon in the middle of the top of the site. You can add a page for each plant, that way you can keep track of all them and learn their relations to other plants etc... Thanks! |
