As for ants, they probably number in the quadrillion (that;s the number 1 plus 15 zeros). What's higher than quadzillion? What's your guest?

Hi! I have petunias, geraniums and sweet potatoe vines in a flower box right outside my window. It's in an area with heavy sunlight and a good amount of heat. I try to water them every day, but they always seem to dry out! Is there a trick to keeping them alive and well? Without overwatering?

I am redoing a bathroom and have ripped out some cabinets. The existing sheetrock had some aweful texture on it and now there is no texture on the wall where the cabinets were. Is there anyway to start with smooth walls without replacing the sheetrock $$. Could I possibly sand the texture off the sheetrock? Thanks!

We added to much algecide and the pool got cloudy. We have tried a clarifier and shock but its not helping. We have also ran the pump for 2 days and cleaned the filter 3 time.

Hi, I've just moved into a new flat in Paris on the 6th floor facing east and i wanna grow some cherry tomatoes by hanging them over the edge of my window using a pot attached to the railings. I was then going to just let them hang lazily over the edge. Is this possible as i've never noticed anyone growing tomatoes over their balcony before? Thanks for your help!
