Does anyone know how to do this? What type of clipping do I use (hardwood or softwood)? What's the best time of year to do it? How long does it take? What mixture should I use (%sand, % peat moss...etc)? Please be specific. My mother is 72 and I don't expect her to live alot longer. Her camelia in her front yard is her favorite tree. She's had it forever and I would never dig it up and move it, but I would like to have an offspring of it to grow old w/ me and be a token of my memories w/ my mom. Any advice will help! Thanks in advance!!

I'm visiting my mom for a little while, and I hate her water. When I try and wash soap off of my body, it feels like I'm washing with slime. It feels like the soap doesn't come off. She was a water conditioner and everything, and uses salt too. Also the water stains the tub orange. It's so gross, and I was wondering if there is something I can do to help the water, or is it just in my mind that the soap isn't coming off?

I just purchased a metal twin/full bunk bed...can I purchase any full mattress? And does anyone know the weight restrictions on the bottom full bed? I don't want to buy a cheap mattress for it. I want a nice mattress since I will have to sleep on it when we have company.

We decided to try growing watermelon this year. The vine has strectched onto the lawn and I noticed one tiny watermelon on the dirt side and another on the lawn side.

At this point, can I just let it grow on the lawn? Do I need to raise it, and if so, how? Is it too late to put in some mesh fence to have it climb somewhat?

Truth be told--it's too late to believe that the watermelon will be ripe before it gets too cold here in Maryland, but it's still fun to see it grow.

Thanks for any tips or suggestions.

Yesterday, after I changed the extremely dirty air filter, I turned off the AC and just ran the fan for 4 hours and I thought I had everything melted. When I turned the AC back on, It seemed to work for a while but this morning I saw it had frozen up again and the air was not cold that was comimng out my vents. The furnace/AC is only about 3 years old.

This is my first time growing the mamoth sunflowers. I thought that its head always follow the position of the sun. When my first one drooped, I thought it was dying so I pulled it up. Now I have replanted a couple and the same thing is happening to them. I love the beautiful flower, but Its drooping. What props are to lift the head up or will it be wise to leave it alone? Please advise. Thanks!

The upstairs and downstairs temperatures are way different. To get a decent temperature upstairs you have to set it to freezing, which makes the bottom floor unbearably cold.

When the bottom floor is the percect temperature, the top floor is way to hot. Whats wrong?

I have 3 fans running in my small apartment which sure seem like they are eating up energy. They are medium sized typical fans you would get at walmart etc. DO these still use much less energy than if i went and got out my little air conditioner, and turned off the fans? (Obviously i'm looking for educated guesses not exactness.

I planted purple coneflower seedlings around my mailbox. They're growing but the bottom leaves looked nibbled on. I don't see anything in the daytime so they must be chomping at night. What is eating them and how can I stop them?
