I have got as a present a Schefflera: I think it is a Schefflera Arboricola. I have heard that they can be developed as Bonsai. Any comments?

My husband and I are looking to build a house on some land behind our currently residence in a few years, but the land won't perk. What does that mean, and what are some options for us?

The damp course on the back of our house is at the same level as the concrete walkway. This is two low (should be about 6" I believe) and causing a small amount of damp in the house. Can the damp course be raised? and if so any advise on where to find someone to do it?

We love our doggie, but she's not housebroken yet. She peed on a rug, and we didn't notice it right away. Now there's a discoloration in the wood floor. How can we get rid of it, or at least make it less noticeable?

If so, what types are recommended? I live in NYC. So I guess my climate zone is 6-7. I have a small area in front of my house (12 feet by 2 feet) and would love some color.
Also, I'm a novice at gardening. What type of tools would i need and where should I start? ALso, I heard that I need to add new soil to the existing soil...is that true?

Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
