The pond is round about 2.5 ft deep. It is mostly in direct sun. It has a filter and pump that sprays like a fountian.

that has been painted before and has a bit of rust? I think some of the 'galvanized' chemical has worn off and I'm not sure what kind of primer and paint is the best.

We have a 50 gallon pond with a pump. It wasnt holding its water. It seemed liked a simple answer at first, there must be a hole in the liner. So we filled the pond up and turned off the pump. For days the water sat at the same level. So, i said ok, ill turn the pond now and see what happens. There is now no water in the pond. Suggestions, theories? Could it really be evaporating, and we have to fill it up everyday?

I've been hearing a lot lately about a product called Grass-B-Gone. This product claims to kill only bermuda grass and I was wondering if anyone has tried it. I'm not a lazy gardener and I'm in my garden every day pulling bermuda grass and quite frankly I hate it. Every year I pull grass. I hate this grass, I hate it, do you hear me? It just keeps coming. Anyhow, I've done some research about Grass-B-Gone and it looks promising. What do ya'll think?

My kitchen is bright red. Click here to see what my living room looks like: http://good-times.webshots.com/album/559652974aHgnwe . The 4th and 5th pictures are photos that I really LIKE and they are the look that I'm going for.

What color should I go with for my living room? And what about the small half bath? I don't like blues, and I LOVE neutrals. BTW I hate the paintings in our living room so try to look past those.

The only thing is, is that everything in my living room is brown already (curtains, couch, chair, furniture)... so I'm afraid if I paint the walls light brown that everything will clash. I love neutrals, reds, oranges, cream, etc. Anything warm. Let me know your ideas - thank you very much!

I am new to gardening and we just finished digging up a bunch of weeds and some plants. There's still alot of dead roots mixed in with the dirt. Do we need to make sure we clean out all of those before planting shrubs and flowers?

When we try to start it the rope pulls real hard then snaps back so hard it scarey. It's a Toro self propelled and about 5 years old. Wasn't a problem until I hosed it off after mowing. Btw it does start.

my "desk" is a 33" card table, it's in a 3ft nook area, I have a pull out 3 drawer cart full of supplies, a tabletop drawer and a laptop that needs to be incorporated into the area. I am willing to buy wall shelving. Trying to make it unique, it's my place to be creative.

My younger brother has a ranch in the Sierra Foothills, and has two nice old apple-trees and two nice old walnut-trees. They are ALL rather overgrown though, and I'm curious about the correct time of year and the correct method of pruning them. I'd like to see them grow alittle taller and produce alittle more. Thank for your help.
