Home & Garden - 20 September 2007

I saw a large potted plant at the fair in the exhibit building that was seriously growing what looked to be regular sized white pealed hard boiled eggs on it! I was fasinated by it. There was no tag on it saying what type of plant it was or the name of it. Has anyone seen a plant like this before? I am trying to find the name of the plant so I can get one for myself to grow. It's really a cool looking plant.

I have heard it is better to turn off all fans since no one is home to save electricity, but now I'm hearing it is better to leave them on to circulate air so my AC won't cut on as much (I put it between 78-80 when I leave in the morning) Please help as I do not want to be spending more money on my electric bill than I have to! lol

The area around my home is covered in small frogs and toads. They have become a major irritation. I am wanting to found out if anyone knows of a home remedy or some sort of repellant that would work on getting these pests to stay out of our way?

People should know the importance of trees! They provide us with oxygen. Help prevent slides in mountains. Provide us with shade. In addition, it decorates earth with all its green leaves, without them the earth would seem like a desert, and i dont think we could survive there. But not only are we, humans, in danger but so are the animals, they need a place to live in and eat and reproduce. My moral is stop being selfish, think of others !

I would like to buy a miter saw for cutting crown and base moldings. A friend recommended buying a 12in saw as oppose to a 10in. Also he recommended it be a compound saw too. Any suggestions?

I hear strange tapping and pinging noises when the heating is on. Someone mentioned that I may need to bleed the radiators. Is this correct…Please can someone give advice on what is going on and how I stop this?

I am putting up a chicken run for my chickens, 5x5 feet. I have metal T-posts at each of the corners. Is that good enough or do I need more posts in between, such as those used for electric fencing?

How do you stretch the wire so that it is taut? Thank you!

Surely we'll see less and less birds etc around in urban areas, because of wanting everything to be low maintenance. I'm as guilty as anyone by the way.
