Home & Garden - 4 August 2007

They are due to be repotted in about a week but the leaves keep dropping as if they are going to sleep. This happens even when they are in the sun, they perk up when i give them water (once a day) and when i first put them in the sun but drop again shortly after. The leaves are big and healthy so I'm not sure if this is normal? I am i watering too little or too often? Summer has just arrived so I'm getting them outside in the sun as much as possible. I was given 2 plants by a friend so no loss if they die but I really don't want them to!

The crack runs along the side of the wash basin and has recently extended over the top. Can I covered it as taking it back is not an option.

We've tried everything it seems, and it only slows them down for maybe a week.

We've got the little ant houses with bait that is supposed to kill the whole colony, we've put ant spikes in the gardens, sprayed the exterior of the house, and put out some other posoin on little pieces of cardboard. (Its late, I don't have the names of treatments at the moment)

The little buggers are everywhere, not really isolated to one area, they seem to be taking over the place. Any food that doesn't come in a can or jar has to be in the fridge, I'm emptying the garbage can to the outside one daily, and I've moved the recycling bin to the garage and they still won't go away.

What else can I do?

I need to know this. Last year I hit a stump when it came to the Science Fair, so I want to get a head start on it this year.

I bought some trumpet vine seeds, but have read in a gardening forum, of how agressive and invading they are. This makes me not want to plant them on the ground and have it to become a pest for me or my neighbors, so I was wondering if anyone knows if I plant them in a big pot with a trellis, will that be okay?
I bought them for my Butterfly and Hummingbird garden.
Thanks!

Please list good and bad things about this. Also, can you replace a roof like this with something else?

I wonder if they bite.
I was sitting on my couch watching tv, and felt something on my stomach thinking it was a hair, looking down it was this black spider reminded me of a small tarantula..i realized it was a jumping spider, checked online but it even freaks me out to look at them. Does anyone know about them?

I know that obvioulsy, I CAN. BUT will it do damage? The oil I'm wondering about is a used high quality synthetic that came out of my roommate's last oil change. I wouldn't think it would, but could it hurt the lawnmower at all? It's a regular push mower. Just looking for a way to recyle and save a buck, all info will be great
