MaryShanon asks:Does my neighbors chain smoking effect my patio tomato plants?
My neighbor only smokes on his patio (24/7). We have attached patios. My tomato plants are 3 feet tall and yet no tomatoes growing on them! I live in Texas, early growing season here. Also I can't have my window open, the smoke comes right in! I could use some articles on this to take to the management at my Active 55 Community I live in. I can't even use my patio!

About that chain smoker
Try pie tins and CD's on him! Maybe he'll move out, if he doesn't die from cancer first.

Check out the By-Laws
Ask to see the Active 55 bylaws. There probably is guidelines already laid out about smoking and other disruptions. Show them to the people who are in charge.

Have you been saving up all your used pie tins?
Soon it will be time to get all your used pie tins and scratched up old CDs and hang them in your fruit trees! The flashing light spooks the bird away from your trees so your fruit is saved, and not one drop of poison or other chemical was used. Simple and effective.
