I used to work in a flower shop and the woman that cared for the plants used some kind of formula that she sprayed on the plants, then she wiped them off with a soft cloth. This substance had some kind of oil (I think) in it because it was a little slick on the leaves. I assume it was for moisture and shine. Just a guess. Does anyone know what I am talking about?

It usually happen each year but later in the spring. It drives me crazy but I put up with it cause there is no real damage. There has to be a good reason for this. Who really knows?

I wanted to use 3 giant alliums per bouquet, but worry that the girls will not be happy about carrying things that smell like onions. I really don't want to use silk alliums. What other flowers have that round puffball shape that I can use instead?

I didn't want my coffee anymore, it was cold and yucky. So I gave it to my plants.

I planted tulip bulbs last year--and though many sprouted green leaves, I only had two actual flowers. Life got in the way, and they ended up being in the ground all year. Now that I'm ready to plant spring flowers--are my bulbs any good, or have they died? I don't want to dig up the soil if they are still viable, but don't want to wait months without flowers to have nothing sprout. I'm in Arizona, btw...

It's rainy season! I need gutters, badly along the edges of the roof to keep these big huge droplets of water from pounding on us when we go in and out. Can a young couple do the job in a day with not too much hassle, or leave it to the pros? The house is not huge either.

I have a large bag of supermarket potatoes that have sprouted. I have only ever planted the ones you buy in garden supply stores, will these produce a good crop of potatoes?

This is a 3 or 4 year old Whirlpool water heater in a rental house. All the other gas appliances work. There is gas going to the regulator but the pilot light will not ignite. I'm pretty sure there is a spark with the ignitor. I've disconnected the 2 pipes going to and from the regulator. It looked like there was a little bit of a clay substance in the supply pipe where it terminates in the regulator. What could be wrong? Could the pipe for the pilot light be clogged or could the thermocouple be bad?

never have knowledgeable people working for them??? I don't even ask for help anymore and when I do, I usually prove them wrong. So many times I've asked where a certain item is located in their store and they tell me they don't stock it. I usually find it anyways!!

We just bought an oriental-style rug. However, on a Pergo floor, it's much like training for the Ice Capades. So we went to Walmart and purchased some sticky hemp-like mesh to hold it down. It lasted an hour. Then a neighbor gave us some latex-rubber type mesh to cut up and stick under it. It somewhat works, but the rug is still slippery. Does anyone have a DIY remedy to make this rug stay put?

I am a college student about to move into a new apartment. The only thing I dislike about the bedroom is the mirrored closets. I need to find a way to cover them, but it also needs to be removable when I move out. Any suggestions?
