What are the NPK (nitrogen, Phosphorous, Potassium)concentrations found in normal outdoor unaltered soil, that a plant would readily grow in? (Not taking into consideration special soils like sandy, or red clay.) Just "normal" soil.

It's 6.15pm. All the shops have shut and I have run out of fabric conditioner. I really need to do some laundry tonight to wear for tomorrow. I live in a hard water area so if I don't use anything, my clothes are going to be like cardboard! Any suggestions would be great. Thanks

A friend of mine has these green rubber attchments to her gutter down spouts that catch the water from the spout and roll out into the yard to distribute the water evenly through holes in the rubber, instead of a mad rush of water in one spot. When the catcher is empty they roll back up. She can't remember where she got them or what they are called. She's had them for years. Please help!!

I've been mixing about 50-50 of E85 and regular gasoline. I have 1 snowblower with a Craftsmen 5.5HP engine, one 16 year old 3.5 hp push lawn mower for the hard to reach spots and a craftsment 17.5 hp lawnmower. I've been using this E85 mix with my 16 year old lawn mower and I don't see any negetive effects. Could something else go wrong when using E85 mix in the long term?

What wood should I use for hardness and durability for the main floor of a house?
I love the look of Brazilian Cherry but have been informed that it changes colour in the light. Has anyone any information or experience about using Brazilian cherry hardwood?

This will sound crazy, but bear with me. I was painting my kitchen with a satin ivy green. I used one gallon and then needed more. I told my husband that since we had kids, we probably should've gotten the gloss paint vs. satin so that messes could be wiped down easily. So I used the same ivy green, but a gloss for a second coat. I, being a "woman that changes her mind a million times," hated the gloss. I only made it halfway around the kitchen before I realized that it looked awful,...especially in comparison to the satin. SO...I sent my poor husband BACK to the store for more satin to cover that yucky gloss. Now I have a problem. When I put the satin back over the gloss,...the dried product was a semi-gloss. It looks nothing like the plain satin. If you were able to make any sense of this...can you help? How can I make it all look like the original satin? (Boy,...what a mess!)

what is the difference in the powder thin set & the pre mix? Also i was told the pre mix is not as good & never to use it for floors. I saw different types at home depot & 1 of hte pre mix says is is for granite/marble which i would think u need a strong glue for the weight. So do u use powder for floor & the pre mix for walls? Also I saw that had a acrylic mix also in powder. what is that for.. thank you

I'm trying to get a nice straight line between the top of my wall and celling which are different colours. I can't use masking tape as this pulls the paint off and have tried using an edging brush which is really slow. Any pro painters out there who can help me out???

It is Craftsman 6.0 with gas engine. I added gas, but it failed to start no matter how many times I pulled the rope for starting the engine. Anyone has better advice? I'd really appreciate it.
