I have a nice curvy lawn shape in my back yard and mulch all around it. There are 4 smaller trees that the landscaper put in but there are no plants......ideas to spruce it up this spread. The all mulch looking is getting boring.

I have some bad breakers in my box, i tested them with a light pen i bought at Lowe's Hardware. All i need to do is change individual breaker. Its a Siemen electrical box, and i have to remove the face plate to access it. Is there a wire that i have to connect/disconnect? Is the Main all i have to turn off, to change the below breakers? Do they snap in and out, or do they have to be wired? Thanks in advance.

In your experience gardening, what one mistake have you made that was most costly in terms of time and/or money? This is something in your range of control you could have/should have done differently (things like unseasonably late frosts or rare plagues of pest don't count).

Because I don't know where to start. One chore per person, please. And I'll use your suggestions as a checklist.

Yesterday I planted two beefsteak tomato plants, a cayenne pepper plant and three June-bearing strawberry plants with a nice selection of herbs in between (chamomile, sage, basil, parsley, dill, etc.)

I amended the soil with some decayed cow manure and sprinkled the transplanted plants with warm water. Other than that, I haven't done anything to them.

I was wondering if anyone knows if there's anything else I need to do in the meantime. I plan to continue watering them for another week barring any rain. Thanks!

According to the Home Depot book I should NOT install on top of existing vinyl tiles but according to the Lowes website I can if it is smooth and in good condition(which it is). It would be easier to install on top but I would like to do it the way that is the best.

I have cleaned the fridge and freezer. There is no rotten food. It still stinks. There is arm and hammer baking soda in the freezer, where the smell is worse.

You have to hold it down for approx 3-4 second to completely flush. I've only ever had this problem in very old toilets. Is there an adjustment the needs to be made, or is this the way it is? Thanks!!!!!

I've heard that adding dish soap to your yard while watering has some sort of benefit to the grass. What is this benefit?

I'm thinking of this kind of pump http://www.machinemart.co.uk/shop/product/details/cpe100tf-1in-booster-pump-cw-24ltr-tank/path/booster-centrifugal-pumps/brand/clarke

Aside from a non return valve, is there anything else I need to put on the tap?

I want increased water pressure, but not to the extent of a pressure washer.

Thanks
