Home & Garden - 11 June 2007

My wave petunias look bad. A few weeks ago, they were full and beautiful. But, the heat has gotten so bad. They look wilted and like they are dying-despite my watering them in the a.m. & in the evening.
I have searched online & think I need to add more soil to their containers. And, maybe trim them back. But, I get conflicting info re. pruning.
Can anyone here tell me, should I trim these plants until they are lush & healthy again? Will it help or harm them?
Wave petunias are supposed to be heat tolerant so I am really puzzled by their appearance.

I see them all over and I have no idea where to get them. I don't want to run all over the city trying to find two of them! Can someone point me in the right direction?

Me and my buddies just finished bachelor padding out the house. I'm talking flat screens mounted on the wall, pool table, and best of all, our very own bar in the kitchen with a pressurized tap system. I'm just wondering how much pressure to set the regulator up with to get the best results. We've got a 10lb CO2 tank and a single half barrel. Also, if we go for quarter barrels, does the pressure need to be lowered?

like mildew or something. I sprayed Renuzit on the filter, but that is just a temporary fix.

So what does everyone think about that? I need ideas. mjaybe some that would make a room look bigger. Oh and furniture layout ideas would be good too.

I don't want to the two metals to react. The copper sheet is .020 thick and is 12"x24". I want to fasten the copper sheet to a wood frame. I am wanting to know what screws or nails to buy. This is for an outdoor application.

It just started doing this a few days ago. It SEEMS as if the pressure release valve is doing what it's supposed to - releasing pressure by allowing some water to leak out, but WHY would it the pressure suddenly be high? There is a pressure relief tank on the top of the heater. Could it be that the tank is not operating, thus forcing the pressure relief valve to kick in? Is it worth replacing the relief tank alone, or should I just pony up the $500 to have a whole new heater installed?

I live in Florida and have some bromeliads
outside. I
don't know what to do with the bloom after it has bloomed. Do you cut
it off?
Some blooms are coming out of the middle of the plant and some hang
down from a
long stem. Any advice will be helpful.

So, my A/C has been out for 2 weeks now. It would turn on then put out (at about 1/2 it's usual force) warm/room temp air. So, we called a repair company. The repair guy came the next day and cleaned the unit & added A TON of freon. (it took about 1 hour and he had to heat it up to get it in even though it was in the 80s outside?) Then, 2 hrs & $350 after he leaves, the A/C stops functioning. The next am, we call the co & reschedule. They no show for the appt. We call & they say they have no freon and we need more-no explanation as to why they didnt call us! I've called all day & keep getting a machine. So, I try my other phone line, then I get through on the first try-manager's not there, receptionist knows nothing. (coincidence?) My question is does the work they've done/not done sound right? Also, how long do I wait till I hire someone else & take them to small claims court to get my money back? Any ideas on how to get my $ back or them here? Please help it's hot out!
