Home & Garden - 6 June 2007

We had lots of decomposed leaves in our pool this year when we opened it.. the water is crystal clear now but the leaves left a brownish stain on the liner. I've used algaecides, shock, chlorine tablets and I've been back flushing the pump continuously. I even used algaeguard gold which is 60% stronger. Any suggestions?

Does any one have any real experiences with making homemade shampoo from homemade soap (I have plenty of sites that discuss it)?

Would like real-one-on-one testimonies.

My husband and I are preparing to sell our house and herein lies the problem. We have 4 dogs and of course over the 5 years we have lived here there have been accidents. It happens, it is just part of having animals...anyway, I need some tips on what products work good in removing pet odors from homes. I have removed all the carpet in our home and all we have now are hard surfaces for flooring. Even with the removal of carpeting there is still a lingering in the air of pet odors like the wet dog smell and other not so great smells associated with animals. I don't have a lot of money to spend on this so I was hoping for some inexpensive or home made remedies that might be out there...

Thanks so much for your help...

My apartment toliet has overflown 2 times. I told the mantanice manager his respond, "if it happens again I'll call a plumber". I know a plumber has been here since that call because water was leaking from a light fixture and I left him a message. I saw a bucket under the fixture and the light still on. Yesterday the toliet over flowed again. These are major overflows, discusting, health concerns, costly, and time consuming, miserable. There is no reason this should be happening. It's a nice apartment really, I don't want to move I have only lived here 5 months. I'm not the best letter writer.

A few months ago I bought a white datura or Horn of Plenty, Devil's Horn, or Thornapple. We live in Houston Texas and we have had loads of rain lately. Yesterday it looked dead flowers and leaves the only thing still alive were the spiny seed pods. I ended up digging it up and put it back in it original pot. I dont think it will be comeing back. But with the seed pods still busting and spreading seed I want to know what happened so I don't make the same mistake next year. And does anybody have any tips on the best way to handle these seeds?

I have a strawberry bed that was planted last year and weeds have taken over horribly. Thistles, tiny clover like things and grass. Is there any chemical that is safe to use on strawberries. If so, what...and when to apply? Thanks.

I have a large strawberry bed that I put in new last season. This year for some reason, the weeds came in like I've never seen before. I want to transplant as many of the plants that survive to a spot that has been kept more weed free. Here in Minnesota, the first frost usually comes in mid September. When would be the best time to transplant for greatest survival? Now or later?

I'm not positive, but I believe the tank is a 120 gallon size tank. It supplies the energy for running my water heater and one large wall heater. I have been looking at regulators and I have no clue as to which one would be the appropriate and the safest type to get for this tank.

I'm not sure how much BTU it needs to be able to handle, or PSI, etc. I don't know whether it needs a high pressure regulator (which seems more likely to me) or not.

I've done some extensive searching for this information and maybe I'm looking in the wrong places (apparently), but I can't seem to find the information I need anywhere.

Any help?

We have a septic tank and have been told if you take care of it you never really have to empty it. I was told to use rid x once a month. Is this right? Can I use rid x more then once a month? If I use more then once a month am I harming the septic tank?
