<p>A wide-ranging set of questions came in last week for the Question and Answer portion of the May 9, 2026, Dirt Doctor Podcast with Howard Garrett. He spoke his "cheat sheet" of helpful answers, about the benefits of using mosquito dunks and bits, and of various types of pest control. There are paint color recommendations for hiding features in the landscape (fences, utility boxes, even garden furniture) and the usual gardening questions about bed preparation and plant lists.
