RE: Yardeners

I describe most of my radio audience as being "home-landscapers" not gardeners.  They want to be successful in their yards, but 
are not particularly entranced by the process or by plants in general.  I think my job as a garden communicator is to help these 
home-landscapers to be successful, so that some day they might become gardeners.  I aim, at the very least, to get them to "do 
no harm."  At best, I want them to be able to see the miracles that are happening in their landscape.   Be they gardeners or 
home-landscapers, my listeners/readers/audiences respond to concise information, good humor and common sense. 

Most of their questions boil down to:" what went wrong" and "how can I be successful with ___________ (fill in the blank)." Once in 
awhile someone will ask a question that stems not from their own garden/landscape experiences, but from intellectual curiosity.  
I love these infrequent queries because I usually learn something too.
