If i plant sunflower seedlings in my mint patch, would the mint overtake the sunflowers?


Just moved into a place with a garden patch that’s overrun with mint, I’m growing sunflowers and the mint is flowering so I’ll remove it soon anyway. If I were to plant the seedlings in the same garden bed as the mint would they kill the sunflowers?

Can you help me out?

Hello everyone,I hope this post is allowed, otherwise feel free to delete it! I am a Greek student in Sweden studying marketing and I am doing research related to community gardens, more specifically how community gardens act as spaces for citizens to express resistance to urbanization and food culture. As part of the research project I need to interview people who are active members in the community gardens and could give me more information related to community gardens, the overall community and in general your experiences when it comes to community gardens, why you do it, etc. Please send me a message or leave a comment if you are interested in helping me by sharing your experience with me! Thank you in advance!

How do I deal with snails and slugs?

I am trying to grow basil, sage (maybe breggarten?), and mint. I bought one pot of each 2-3 weeks ago. I put the mint and sage each in a flower box, and the basil in a (medium) flower pot. It's winter here (mainly rain and cold), so pretty soon garden snails and slugs started to eat them---especially the sage, with over half of its leaves now eaten. Since I plan to eat them, I bought a natural-based snail and slug repellent. It's based on some Gaultheria oil thing. It doesn't work. Slugs and snails just go to the planters' brim and bypass the barrier I sprinkled around them. I tried that old-wives tale of cooper wire. It doesn't work. And it looks like the copper barrier needs to be at least 5cm thick to work anyway (preferably 10cm and up). Salt isn't an option since it'll kill plants. Using synthetic snail and slug bait to kill them isn't an option either. I don't want to find out if it does break down and enter plants or not (and thus would enter

How can I help my tree

Image
We were hit with a strong windstorm a few weeks back. The storm broke all the branches off a tree (it was a very strong storm). It basically now looks like a giant tall stump and I'm literally so upset. This tree is a huge part of my childhood, is there anything I can do to help it survive. The tree is still alive but there doesn't appear to be any regrowth. I'm fighting with my parents because they want it gone (they've been wanting it cut down for reasons they refuse to tell me) and they said if I can find a way to regrow at least one branch they'll keep it around. They think I won't find a way. I'm begging for help.
