Home & Garden - 11 April 2007

I've seen tabletop fountains with fog, im assuming dry ice. I'm making a fountain and I wanted the bottom of it to have a mist or a fog around it to resemble clouds. How do I do that, just dump some dry ice in it?

Can we expect new growth to be vigorous? Shall I cut off the withered ones? Or leave them intact? I am an organic gardener so I will not be using anything but compost and mulch (which surrounded it nicely and would have protected it I thought!!, but these were horrendous April frosts 3 in a row. ) Ah well. Luck of the draw!

I need suggestions on what to do on a leak from a drain pipe. Whenever anyone from top washroom uses either the washroom or faucet a steady stream of water can be seen running along the main drain pipe. The thing is this pipe runs within the drywall for first two levels and only comes out at the basement, this is where i observed the stream of water running along the pipe, the pipe then goes underground to meet with the main drainage system of the house. Is these any product that i can patch out the hole from within, like those tablets you put when you got a hole in your car radiator pipe. Thanks.

I got this Handyman Club of America, membership request. With the membership you get tons of free stuff just for giving a review on how it works. And the membership is only one dollar a month.
Does anyone know anything about this? Is it fake?

My lawn has been neglected for three years. I just bought the house and the grass is brown in some areas. I want lush green grass. Where do I start? Should I cultivate the lawn and then plant seeds? When do I use a fertilizer or Turf Builder? Or should I just seek professional help instead of doing it myself? HELP!!!!

Why is it that under warranty/insurance, a part never needs to be fixed when the repairman shows up? You practically have to be the squeaky wheel to get any work done. Where as, when you contract the repairman outside insurance, any concern, and immediately, the part is replaced? Thank you very much...
Hmmmm

I live in a Victorian terrace and the stairs are not very wide; I'm wondering if a runner would look okay. I have been on some websites and the runners looks lovely but also expensive, especially the hardware. What is best to fit on the runner, rods or clips. Also, I live in a small town and am finding it difficult to locate carpet people to do the job, most are trying to talk me into regular stair carpet. What are the pros and cons of runners?

The place I am thinking of is clay soil, but has had evergreen-type leaves dropping onto it for a few years and then rotting down. It is in the shade of two large trees (although not under). I live in SW Britain, so there's enough rain.

I want to plant something productive - either fruit, vegetables or herbs, as it is an extention to my kitchen garden. If you can't come up with anything productive then feel free to say a flower or something.

TIA

Someone gave me potted tulips. They've already bloomed and it looks like the petals are just about ready to start falling off. I live in the upper northeast and there's still snow on the ground. There's supposed to be one more snow tomorrow (4/12) and I think there's a rule about when you can plant bulbs.

The tulips I got last year are in the garage, dead and they're still in they pot they came in! Please help these tulips live!!

My deck needs washing and staining. I am going to use my father-in-law's power washer. What are the steps involved? I am assuming that I power wash it, wait for it to completely dry, then stain it? Are the other steps involved? Also, for staining, how do you get into the hard to reach cracks and creveses? I have heard of some people using a floppy mop, has anyone ever tried this technique? All info regarding this process is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Ok, dummy here. I live in NC, and for one week we had weather reaching 80 degrees. So, like everyone else, we all ran to the store and bought garden vegitable plants. Not knowing we were in for a hard freeze the following week, two of my tomato plants wilted over. Will they come back? Any answers will be greatly appreciated.
