Home & Garden - 3 March 2007

I have 150' x 150' area on my backyard (behind the pool) that until recently was wooded. We left trees only on two edges and I wish to utilize the area for garden that will be nice looking but also partially eatable and fun for my 5-year old. We in zone 6. Lot is almost level and trees make it partial sun.
I wish to do it without breaking bank. Water feature would be nice to have.

Is it true that flat that was re-possessed (eg owner can no longer pay up) by bank, then put up to auction-off is cheaper than flat in resale market?
If that's the case, how to find out the availbility of "auction flat"?

I used mounting tape to stick a thick poster on the wall, and now I've taken it out, but the mounting tape remains! Any suggestions how I can remove it? Here's pictures of what it looks like:
