Home & Garden - 28 August 2006

We live in nj and there are black crickets everywhere. My husband is going to have a stroke if one more gets in our home. He sprayed under and around the house for them but they are still here. Aren't they only around a few more weeks?

We would do this with the feed for our milk cows. With cane mostly but also with millit, corn stalks whatever we had to feed the cows.

We found the source of the problem and threw the rotting fruit away (outside). 3 days later we still have tons of these nats/fruit flies. They fly around too much to spray them with anything. Any suggestions?

The website is http://dataentry.freewebsitehosting.com/ and it says it's legit but you have to pay $16.00 to start up and, although it's not much money. I don't wanna be ripped off.
Let me know what you think.
Thanks.

I have work very hard on restoring the garden in my yard, (neglected and overgrown for 9 years). It is on a hill and alot of the soil had dropped down from this hill above. There are day lillies, Irises, hostas, lily of the vally, and other perennials already in the garden. I have 60 or so other bulbs that I am going to plant. Can I add more soil and mulch without digging up the existing plants? The soil that is currently there is very sandy and does not drain well. What can I do to help this. I know adding compost and mulch will help the soil and with weedin. But what I don't know is what to do with the existing plants, When the best time to plant the new bulbs (they all need to planted before first frost, but before the mulch?), and how to mix the soil and add the mulch.
This is my first gardening attempt, so good so far but I've never taken it this far before. Any advise would be helpful
I live in northern Minnesota, (Zone 4b, a few miles from lake superior)

Drought conditions have created gaps between soil and basement (foundation) walls; should these be filled at all, if so, with what? We heard that newspaper should be used instead of soil....

We have had alot of rain the past month and today I noticed rings of toad stools(fairy rings) in some neighbors yards. I was wondering what causes this to happen? Too much moisture? Mold? Mildew? what?

The house we just bought has alot of handyman stuff to do. The down stairs was done by the previous owners. When they put the dry wall up they didn't tape the joints. Noe the plaster is cracked at the joint all the way down. Is there a way to fix this short of replacing all of the dry wall?
