Home & Garden - 18 April 2007

I live in London and I am looking to change my kitchen to yellow and lime green, but I can't seem to find a place to buy a bright yellow microwave, yellow/lime green cordless kettle, toaster and breadbin. I have checked the internet, but keep seeing vanilla yellow instead of bright yellow. Thanks in advance.

I have recently bought a new shirt, but unfortunately it is TOO big and I CANT return it. What's the best way to shrink it? It is made out of 100% preshrunk cotton. Does that mean I cant shrink it anymore? There must be SOME way to shrink it. =/

I have a pampas grass which has now outgrown the area where it is growing. Is there an easy way to remove the root ball,as it is as hard as timber? It is about 2ft across You cannot chop the rootball. I have sawn the grass to ground level but want to take it out completely.A spade just bounces off the ball. Recomendations please

It's inexpensive, but with three kids under 6 and a dog maybe I should consider it. Or do you think it is a real peice of crap and should be avoided because I'll be dissaponted with it.

I have a 60-70 foot ash tree in my front yard. Due to the droughts and water restrictions in the last few years one of the roots has risen above ground. It's nearly 8" in diameter near the trunk, and reaches about 10', rising 3 1/2" above the soil. I've heard you can cut roots like this but I'm afraid the tree might topple during the next big wind. And I can't raise the level of my yard. I tried covering the root with soil, hoping the grass would grow over it but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

How many gardeners out there knowingly gamble on frost/freezing with tender garden plants and flowers? I'm 3 weeks away from my average last frost date, but would love to get me tomatos in now. The 10 day forecast shows that the coldest night won't be below 36F and I have row covers that can protect from light frost, but not freezing. I have had plastic mulch down to warm up the soil for the past week so that's not an issue. I've never risked planting tomatos before May 1 in the past, but I'm tempted this year in order to get them early and have a longer season. Should I risk it? Do you risk it?

When I purchased my home, no information was provided as to where the septic tank is located. I need to know before I do some hardscaping in my yard.
