i've decided to plant a garden, its actually my first time doing it alone. I live in Illinois and I plan to grow lettuce, tomatoes, carrotts and strawberries. I was told that is you grab a fist of dirt and is breaks apart when you let is go it meant it was good soil to plant in. well i did that and it kinda klumped together. now I know this is bad since the plants wont be able to grow right. my question is what to i do to make is more loose or not as dry.

I was looking at 1800flowers.com, I don't know what to get. I need a plant that does not need a lot of sunlight and grows well indoors. Her office is next to a window however it's on 5th avenue in manhattan and a lot of buildings block sunlight.

I am slowly working on redoing my kitchen. I have had mixed answers when I ask people. Should I replace the counter top before I refinish the cabinets or visa versa, or does it even matter? Thanks for your help!

bib is leaking. I assume it needs a replacement washer. I need to get to the washer and can only do it by removing the assembly.

the first one has worked fine for 2 years. My house is 100 years old, and the one I just replaced has three wires coming out of the wall--red, white, green. The green was not hooked up, as I have no fan system (oil-fired boiler), just heat. I never turned off the power to hook up the new thermostat......when I installed it as instructed, I can't get the boiler to fire when I raise the temperature. The boiler still works--I can fire it with the other thermostat, but even when I switch the wires (which I had to try with the other one because they were not neatly color-coded), I can't get it to work. Please help!

I water the soil two times a day for 20-25 minutes, but nothing is growing yet. Maybe I'm just being impatient- I just planted 2 days ago. I have a wedding in my yard in 2 months, and I'd rather not look at patches of dirt. Help!!

I have a stainless steel sink and everytime I buy a new sponge it smells from the sink. The sink is clean and I rest the sponge on the back of the sink resting against the backsplash. So its hardly even touching it. I do wipe the sink with it. But does anyone know if theres a chemical reason for it?

I removed the wallpaper from my kitchen and some parts of the drywall have been damaged. It appears the first layer of drywall paper has been ripped off. In some places the drywall has dime size holes. I do not want to remove the drywall, I want to repair it. I don't have the money to replace it, but I do have time to repair it.

I need to know the easiest way to remove nails from a deck without damaging the boards as much as possible. These are the nails that have ridges in them, so they dont come out as easy as regular nails. Any help would be appreciated.
