Home & Garden - 21 December 2006

I JUST bought the cutest dublin sweater, its mostly white and its ALL white where the glob landed. I washed it ***and dried it*** already. I used shout on it before the first wash, and that didnt work- I heard that I should try the clorox pen. Does anyone have any suggestions about how to get this stubborn stain out?

AND- I was making chocolote cupcakes for work, and I got cupcake splattered all over my BLUE sweater. It didnt come out either... How do I get this stuff out?
Both sweaters have been washed and dried.
Thanks.

The word POTTING SHED: does it mean the same as SMALL GREENHOUSE? Or is it a shed for garden tools only? Or both? Dictionaries do not agree on the meaning and I really want to know it correctly. Thanks.

My husband bought me a little Erica Heather (Native to S. Africa). You can keep it in a pot indoors if the room temp is 40-80 degrees. The soil is to be kept moist but not soggy and you aren't supposed to let it dry out completely. It looks like it's sitting in a sandy soil, not potting material. The tops (the part that grows up past the blooms) started getting brownish looking and the whole thing became less perky. The blooms are still there, but I'm wondering if I should cut that top growth off- it's like the top of a stalk of corn. Some of the roots have come out the bottom of the pot, but the plant doesn't come near being too small for the pot. The tag also says to give it a light feeding of acid plant food in early spring if it looses color, or apply iron sulfate. Okay, what's an acid plant food, and it's not early spring, so should I even think about doing that? I don't want it to die, what can I do?

I've taken the 'S' trap off but the ring is not there. Any idea's as to whether a plumber has any chance of rescuing the ring further down, or has it gone for good?

It says on the tag that this is a bogplant, it likes much water, light and warm temperature, i have followed this and also haven't artificially closed the traps, but its going black and mouldy. Any tips to bring it round?
