I have just made small pond in my garden to attract frogs. Does any body have some ideas that I can use to maintain it properly and also attract frogs?

I live in Sydney, Australia so ideas related to this area/climate would be better but just general tips will do.

I have a problem with carpenter Bee's. I cannot sit on my back deck without them swooping down at me or hovering right in front of me as to say come and get me.

I have been trying to get them with a fly swatter or spraying them with household sprays. We have had an exterminator out twice in the last 2 years.

I know regular bee's will sting but I want to know how dangerous these critters are.

I am concerned about the effects the copper, nickel, and other minerals that are used in making coins could do to my family's health.

My old dishwasher left food on plates, put film on dishes, esp. glass, did not clean silverware. So I finally purchased a new one, but it does the same. Repairman said he could find nothing wrong with it. I have tried different dishwasher soaps, I have put that stuff in that is supposed to abolish spotting, the water is hot enough, and I have tried using less soap then more soap. We have hard water here, it is a small town. We have a water softener and a filter on the water supply line. Could the softener not be working correctly? What could possibly cause this. I really like having a dishwasher, probably my favorite appliance. But I sometimes put the dishes through 2 or 3 times and they still come out with bits of food clinging to the dishes and a film on glasses and silverware. I do not understand what could cause this, and neither did the repairmen. There has got to be a reason, surely someone must have the answer.

I grow tomato in containers planters and get lots of tomatos on the plants (stems), but very seldom do the green tomatos turn green.

My friend's father past away when she was younger. Her father left the house to my friend instead of his wife (her mom). My friends mom plans on either selling the house or splitting it among other family members. I say she can't do that because her name is not on the deed, my friends name is.

I don't know the name of the plant, but it has many long, green and white spiky leaves. I water it just a bit, every 2 days, when the earth in the pot turns from black color, to dark brown. I have been mixing a teaspoon of MiracleGro flower and plant food with the water. Approximately 2 weeks ago, black splotches began appearing on random leaves in random locations. I looked underneath the leaves which were also black (it seems to go through and through), but I did not see any bugs. Could this be a fungus of some sort? What should I do?

I live outside of Chicago and I'd like to buy this tree for our backyard. What kind of price should I expect to pay for a decent sized (at least 10 feet) tree? Any experience with this tree? Thank you!

I try to explain. My mother have a little 20 gallon water fountain. After fall and winter the leaves clog the filter. So, around Feb. I turn it off and then clean about, like today. So, there no Bubbling. When I cleaned it out today there a little frog in the water, cool, I think. But, I wonder if it was eating maybe mosquito larve? If, I turn the pump on and it spray, will the frog leave from the added turbulence? I think the pump would keep mosquitos away as they use stag water. So, am I removing a food source for the frog?

I am replacing the floor in the kitchen and in front of the door to the outside is a soft spot probably caused by water and years of wear. I am thinking about an overlayment as sort of an entry pad rather than trying to replace the subfloor. I was thinking about marine grade plywood or is there something better? It will get the normal amount of water on it from the traffic through the entry door.
