I'm looking more towards plants than vegetables but any books you may be able to suggest would be helpful. Thanks!

Everytime I wash clothes, the washer emits a rotten eggs type smell upon releasing the water. I have to light a candle every time I do a load, but I can still smell it. The water heater is brand new, the washer is 1 yr. old. When I put the clothes into the dryer, it doesn't give off any odors. What is causing this and how can I get it to go away??

I am helping to build a garage at the moment and I feel I am spraining my back by putting pressure on it when lifting moving the bricks. I try the whole ''bending your knees thing'' but I am not quite sure if that is working. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

It is made by GE, I think and is the kind that cannot be painted over. It is badly discolored due to smoking and I wish it was gone so it could be replaced with some nice white caulk that wouldn't yellow. There is no more smoke to contend with so it should stay it's original color when I get the old removed (if ever) and the new put in. Believe me, it won't be the silicone stuff.

I had recently decorated my bedroom/bathroom suite in pink since that's my favorite color and being a widow I thought I'd be alone for a long time or forever. However, I've met someone and we plan to get married but he HATES pink. His favorite color is aqua. Any suggestions for a room we'll both enjoy living in?

Yeah yeah, go easy on me, I've just never been completely clear on this one. When talking about the weather, if the humidity is HIGH, that amplifies how hot it feels? Is that right?

Can someone give me the 411 of how humidity affects how it feels outside? Thanks.

If so , how and with what, and is it costly and complicated.

I m preparing my veggie bed for the winter time. I want to make square garden beds instead of having a long one. I also want to raise my beds so I do not have to bend over too much. Anyhow, this year I 've had troubles to clear my veggie bed from punctior weeds and other weeds. I prefer organic gardening. My question, should I remove my soil and start all over with my new framed garden beds or should I find a solution to use the same soil but not getting anymore punctior weed next year? Help! As I do not know what is the better way ?

I was given an old dining room set (a Thomasville 1968) by a family member, and though it's an outdated style... I'd like to give it a face lift before I chuck it for a new set. I plan to cut down the backs of the chairs some and upholster the whole chair with micro fiber(minus the legs). I'd like to paint the pedestal table and china cabinet but don't know what to use to get a decent, rich finish. I had asked a professional what it would cost to strip the table and china cabinet down from its old finish (looks to be an oak finish)... and restain with cherry or mahogony. He said min. $1600... at that rate I would rather buy a new set.
What products can I use to paint over the wood? I'm willing to do some light sanding. Is there a product that I can use that can go over old stain/varnish that provides a rich finish? Please be specific and offer as many options as possible. Would love to hear from a proffesional on this matter.

Two weeks ago I planted a Dwarf Crepe Myrtle on the east side of the house. It probably gets about 4 hours of sun in the morning. Well, lately, it's been raining a lot and is always cloudy and about 50% of the leaves are turning yellow and look droopy. It is due to too much water? Or does it sound like it's not getting enough sun? I also planted 2 Barberry bushes in the same area and they look a little stressed as well. Any help is appreciated.
