Have a new house and was wondering if anyone has sprayed interior walls and ceiling with a Wagner Paint Crew? My house is around 2000 sq ft and was thinking about spraying vs rolling to save time.

I was told you can use a black trash can to absorb heat during the day and releaseit at night. I live in the central Arkansas area were it is cold only about three months out of the year.

I have a small garden this year and planted pole beans, peppers,cucumbers,roma tomatoes, pumpkin and egg plant.

The cucumbers, tomatoes & pole beans are growing, the pumpkins are in bloom too, but the two eggplants (bought already grown from Lowes) didn't make it. The peppers, that were sprouts when I planted them, didn't make it either.

Any idea what will grow best in South West Virginia?

I was wondering what I might have done wrong with my eggplants.

Also, does anyone know if watermelon will grow well here.

I have a down filled bed pad and I have a problem with the feather poking out and scratching the crap out of me. Is there any advise out there to help stop this? I really enjoy the softness but not the scratching.

I've enjoyed fresh cucumbers from my garden this year, but was wondering if a trellis would be best to grow them on next year. Right now I'm using just simple bamboo poles, but they seem to need something larger.

Thanks.

Hello, I am in my first home of my own :)

I am trying to save money so I do not want to use pest control services very often. So I bought a sprayer and some Spectracide Triazacide (sp?) concentrated insect spray. I applied per the instructions around the outside of my house.

I am not sure if it worked for other insects, but the Spiders are still everywhere. I live in Missouri and they are bad here, including Brown Recluse spiders.

They are really bad on my decks, they get in my garage, and they are in these bushes I have outside. I spreyed all of this, but it did not kill the spiders. What is a good outdoor spray to use that will kill and keep spiders away?

I was thinking about planting pole beans again in my garden next year, but was wondering what are the best ways to get them to vine. I didn't use string this year, as I've seen a lot of people do, but use bamboo poles. What are other ways to grow them? Would a trellis do better?

Thanks.

I am 8 months pregnant and my baby will be here very soon and I have mold/mildew on a wall in an inaccessible (locked utility closet) in my apartment. I have been asking my landlord since Decembe to do something about it and they just spray tub and tile cleaner on the wall! The smell is starting to get unbearable and I am worried about our safety. What can I do?! Isnt there some kind of law for these things? (I live in Georgia by the way)

I have a pumpkin plant in my garden that is now getting yellow leaves and a few dry spots. It's rained quite a bit and I'm wondering if that's a sign of too much rain? Does anyone know?

I also noticed that one of the leaves were broke on the stem, but thankfully not at the vine. I have been told that if a pumpkin plant stem is cut that the plant will "bleed" to death. Does anyone know if this is so?
