Home & Garden - 5 July 2006

The branches grow straight up and I suspect that it may be because someone in the past,not knowing better, topped off the tree and now the branches that are growing are all from the side of the trunk. Is there anything I can do to make the branches curve downwards? Weight the branches or loosely tie the ends downwards to the trunk? And is this an okay time of year to do it?

It's the size of a sparrow. Beige colouring (or flecked), yellow flash on wings. Might have a black and white tail and has a red crest on it's beak. It's lovely. Serious answers only.

Ok, so I am supposed to be taking care of my neighbors yard while she is gone which is fine no biggie. But her maid came over and added geep (goat and sheep) poop on the bottom of the tree to well I am assuming make it better..like a fertilizer...well now the tree went from green and kinda droopy to all yellow leaves. I did what her maid said and watered it like she said.....do I let it wait out and hope it grows back or do you think I should e-mail my neighbor and tell her what happened? Should i get the maid envolved before I e-mail her? What?

I live in Florida. I'm concerned about the effect of strong winds on my new rolled roof. My question concerns the drip edge - particulary the small space between the drip edge and the facia board. I believe it is this small space where wind can penetrate , get up under the rolled roofing and rip or tear your rolled roofing off - Understand? AGREE? Anyway, I was thinking about using some " Great Suff " expanding foam in this space in hopes that it will keep the wind from getting up in there.. What do you think of this idea? Will it work?

(For a normal sized load/washer.)
Also, does it matter if the colors and the white are mixed if you use cold water to wash it?

Does it have anything to do with the photsynthesis process, or is it 'genetic' to specific flowers/plants?

More specifically, I'm looking for a replacement pump. The actual soap compartment of the despenser is in great shape. The pump component, however, needs to be replaced. To note, I am looking for NEW replacement parts.

These critters have been the bane of my existance. Hubby traps gophers and moles but we don't seem to stay ahead of their repoduction rate. This spring gophers have started coming above ground to trim off the branches of mums and salvia to drag down their holes (this is a new form of warfare for them). We live in rural location on a couple of acres. We recently found a lot of gopher and mole holes under the house.
We have stuck the hoses down the holes to flood them out, but that made the ground too wet.We tried moth balls without much success. People have recommended pouring motor oil down the holes, but I don't want to polute the water table.Poison is not an option due to pets.
Has anyone had any success in this area? Is there a systemic or topical treatment that is safe and effective?

A little 4 year old boy was riding a lown mower with dis dad . On the way back to there pown the boy fell off. When he fell the mower deck got turned on. The boy lost one finger , right arm cut up very badly and his keg at the knee almost cut off. Twe opperations later they may still have to cut off the keg.
One week later a 3 year old girl was walking behind her dad on a riding mower , and he backed over her. She had to have her foot cut off by doctores. Do you think there should be a law that children can not be around mowers ?

I've tried cleaning the spray heads thoroughly but to no extent. Is it because it unusually humid out here? Moreover, I've changed thinner brands, does this mean that my current thinner works less potent than the last one?
