I really need to cut my yaupon bushes in front of my house,and i dont mean trimming,i mean cutting all the green off to shape them up.Im in south Ga,and we still have 2 1/2 month left of warm weather and growing time,and i feel they should put out again before its gets cool.Any knowledge or experience on that?Thanks.

I gave someone a gift of a peony tree (not a bush,a tree)Against my advice,she put it in a large planter,and now it is dying.I know that it needs to be put into the ground to live.I am going to retrieve it and put it in the ground.What can I do to be sure that it makes a smooth transition,and thrives as it should?Please don't answer unless you are sure.Thanks!

I live in the country and on some property nearby there is a disused swimming pool that is filled with dead animals that fall in and drown.
The owner refuses to cover it or fill it in and won't put up a fence either.

He will allow me to put somthing in that will help them get out but I am completely at a loss for how to build something that will work for creatures as small as frogs and large as deer. I can't tell how deep the water is as it's all disgustingly gooey with dead things.

Any ideas gratefully appreciated as I am worried sick about pets and children in the area.

And yes, I have already notified every authority and there is no one who can force him to fix the problem.

I'm trying top make a camera lens case from a tool box and foam padding. The foam is the pink plastic foam used for shipping in an xbox 360 box. I want to glue several pieces together then glue the pieces to the inside of the case. What will work to make the pieces bond together?

I live in North FLA and have St. Augustinegrass and I can't seem to get rid of the dollarweed. I can kill it in spots, pull it up (I'm too old to get down and go through the entire yard) but it comes back. I'v tried Image, underwatering, Bayer weed control. Any other suggestions?

I am going to get on of those really cool antiquey bath/shower mixer taps and was wondering what colour schemes to go for. I thought of getting gold ones of these as they are nice and warm. Do you think plae pink/cream tiles and paint? Gimme your ides too please. Its a small bathroom with a big window, quite light and i have a white suite and black slate effect floor. Have a budget of £400 £500 to include taps/tiles/paint/blind. My dad will be doing the tiling so dont have to pay for that at least!!

Thanks xx
