I once found some really nice furniture made of really heavy wire covered in plastic so that the summer rains did not harm it ...... it was never hot from the sun ...... but it was in a park, and I never was there when the caretakers were there, to ask where it had come from ...... I love that stuff.

With it went nice low round tables on a pedestal, in heavily coated natural wood ... they were also rainproof and really nice ... spill proof, too, and low enough for a child to feel comfortable using....

In this particular park, there were no umbrellas because planted in the seating section were Honey Locusts ... disarming and lovely ...

Ta!

At my house our Mosquito Magnet broke and we want to go natural. So how do you make a bat house, where do you install it for maximum effect and how do you do so?

I like wild patches and then I like to put pots of things here and there during the season... especially if they are scented and can be taken around from spot to spot .... and since they can fill in when something has stopped blooming ... not just flowers, but ferns are nice ...

Thank you for any thoughts...

Seriously, why are all these professionals and equipment needed. Why can't you just dig a big hole, line it with concrete, fill it with water, and stick in a portable pump?

Why wouldn't it work?

The Kitchen has some red and blue ( prime colors - bright ) in the lighting - but other then that the carpet is black and white and all furniture is black, all walls are white !! What are the "it" colors that will still be "it" in a couple years !!?? I like the thought of a light purple in the bath, but then are you stuck doing pastel colors in the rest of the place ?? Please help I cant commit to any colors !!!

A black pen exploded on some yellow scrubs and it went into the dryer.

For example, tomatoes and marigolds are said to be happy together ... and some basil on the other side of the tomatoes, but a little away from the marigolds, please.....!!!

I wonder, because things occur in nature a certain way .... maybe it is soil... or maybe it is something completely different ....

And what about the plants that really do NOT get on well together? Have you found things like that?

Please say?

I have an old-style Potterton central heating timer (i.e. with the manual slide-along switch type thing, and clock dial). But it seems to be broken.

The clock moves round until it gets to the time that the heating is set to come on, and seems to jam there, therefore it is not turning on by itself.

Would I be able to fix/replace the timer by myself, or would it require a heating engineer, and if it needs replaced, do I need to get the same type of timer that I currently have, or could I buy a newer digital model?

Our boiler burns Kerosene.

The meter is about 10 feet from the curb and I would call the water company but they're closed already. I want to plant a tree about 5 feet from it.

If not, what distance should I keep from the meter?

I live in Chicago and unfortunately, I did not get a chance to bring my potted roses indoors. Is there any chance they could still be alive? The canes look black and some like dry wood.

So my dad told me no computer or tv for stuff other than schoolwork until my room is clean. I seriously need help. I can always manage to clean it, but never to keep it clean. Any suggestions?
