Home & Garden - 15 October 2006

we arranged for someone to come round on the weekend about having a new kitchen from moben.

Everything seemed excellent, the free dishwasher, 80% off a cooker and hob. and everything will be fitted within 28 days.

We jumped at the chance of having a moben kitchen fitted before christmas.

But I did a search on moben reviews this morning and all I got back was 1 out 5 ratings.

Is it too late to cancel?

Have tried homemade soap sprays, garlic and pepper spray (which amazingly almost killed some of my plants) to no effect. Can't seem to find a supplier of beneficial insects near me. Help!

We are buying a new home and the builder offers 1 air conditioner standard or for $1600 we can upgrade to 2 units. The house is 2400 sq ft and is a split wing. Would it save enough money to make it worth while?

There seems to be an infestation of them in my garden.
Can they be killed with ordinary insect spray?

Last week when the bins where out a lady in a white van, came to the top of our street (we live in a close, you can't go past our house) she got out wearing a pair of industrial strength gloves and pinched a rubbish bag from my neighbours bin and just drove off. Is this suspsious or are the council surveying the rubbish (Our council are prone to stupid things, they are talking of weighing the bins to see if you are recyling if they are over weight they want to fine you and are going to put micro chips to track who's is who's bin)

i bought a yucca plant a while back. i also bought a nice white plastic flower pot to go with it. with the pot came a long white tube and a slightly shorter red tube. the yucca lives in my front room.

my yucca plant is dying!! dont know what it needs. then one day at work, i noticed the flower pots there have a long green tube with a cap sticking out of the soil. so now im thinking maybe im supposed to use those tubes that came with my flower pot but i dont know what they are supposed to be used for. does anyone know what these tubes are meant for? and how they are supposed to be used. does anyone have any tips on keeping yucca alive?

thanks!

We've got a very overgrown garden with long flower beds I've cleared one of them, but I can't get started on the others as I keep having to go over the old grown, pulling up another 300plus new shoots a week. How long will I have to do this before they give up, or should I put down any weed killer (I'ld rather not) and will this affect the plants in the bed we want to keep; a rose, caster oil plant and eucalyptus tree. Or are there ground cover plants we can put in at this time of year? Advice please?

I need to unclog my bathtub drain, but the drain stopper won't come out. I have tried unscrewing it both left and right, partial turning and pulling it out, and trying to wiggle it free, nothing works.
The drain stopper is made out of metal and seems to have a little metal rod going down with a rounded end that is under a hole to small to pull it out from. The hole is in the centre of some type of criss cross thing.

I've tried painting plexiglass with chrome paint to get a mirror effect but can't get it to reflect well and provide the "mirror" effect. I don't expect it to be exaclty like a glass mirror but would like to get it somewhat close. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
