I have a group of small creatures with white oval shaped bodies and six black legs. They are so small that I think they could be the larvae stage of an insect. I would like to know what they are, and whether or not they will harm my garden.

the plant has a thick, dark purple stalk. The leaves are fairly dark green and branch out. The flowers are a creamy butter color with dark purple center. They grow down as they like bells.

I have sprayed the wall paper with vinegar & water and then let it sit for a few minutes before I scraped it off. It worked great on the first couple of layers, but not very well on the fourth and fifth layers that seem to be fused to the plaster. Does anyone know of anything else that I can do to get those last couple of stubborn layers of wall paper off my plaster walls?

Is Labarinth the only RTF grass?

Is it available pure, or only in mixtures?

If it's only in mixtures, is it because it has defects, which the mixtures hide?

It was flourshing with many blooms that died back. I've had it only 2 weeks, it's close to a window with bright, not direct sun light. A store had a clearance and no one I knew would get one because they said they couldn't keep them alive. Now it's happening to this one I bought also.

My friend has a few pans that seem to be cast iron but feel light weight,unlike cast iron. We are trying to find out what they really are and who made them, his grandmother gave them to him years ago. I am also wanting to find out when they were made, anything about them that I can.

Hi All, I have viewed a house I am considering to buy and would like to your opinion on the garden.

The garden slops downward quite a lot. There are bushes all around. The garden is shaped like a triangle where the pointy(narrow) bitis at the end of the garden.

There are some mature bushes at the edges and a cherry tree in the middle and apply tree near the side with further bushes at the end.

There is a small patio area near the patios door from the living room.

There is lawn too.

Any advice how I can make this look better and would it cost a lot of money to get it lanscaped.

I am not a big gardening person but willing to learn...

I've got this handheld thing that looks like a hairdryer and blows out hot air to help strip paint. Can I use it on (for example) chipboard, concrete, plaster etc?

All my husband tells me lately is that I do not have faith in him, because I will not let him build a deck on the back of our house. It is a big job and I do not want anything going wrong so I would prefer to have it done professionally. Any advice, comments, or suggestions? Thank you in advance!

Hi, My husband was hanging a cabinet door and the hinges are off by a fraction of an inch. He will have to take the door off and re-hang...any advice on patching the wood where the hinges go so that the previous hole doesn't interfere with hanging or are there any products that you can recommend to fill the screw hole?
