Home & Garden - 5 November 2006

The stuff I grow in my garden, potatoes for instance, gets taken over by weeds if you are not out there everyday hoeing them. Yet you see a farmers field with potatoes growing and there's not a weed in sight. I know they use chemicals, but what chemicals? Can the general public buy these chemicals?

I'm fed up with being organic, it's just not realistic and everything I grow has been attacked by pests. I've got nothing to show for the stuff I've planted. Unless anybody can advise how I can be organic too.

Everybody I know calls them monkey balls, what are they really? They're about the size of a baseball and lime green with grooves like a brain. I work with children and would love to tell them what they really are.

The plug for my washing machine has a black coating on it's three prongs which appears to have melted. Now the prongs won't fit into the wall socket (also a smell of burnt rubber). It's a moulded plug so, assuming the problem is within the plug, I will have to cut off to replace it. Is it safe to do this, or might the problem lie in the wall socket?

We have owned this fridge for only 4.5 yrs and it has started to make a really loud popping noise. It started off as just one pop and now it does three consecutive pops - poppoppop.
Any idea why it is doing this and how to fix it? We've already checked that the ice maker is turned off.

I live in an apartment where the drain clogs up a lot. I have called the apartment management about the problem and they pour some chemicals down the drain and it clears it up. What can I use so I don't have to call the management all the time? I am broke so can not afford the top brands like liquid plumber for instance.
