are chamomile clover or daisy a possibility, or do these live symbiotically with grass....unable to grow as a monoculture?

thymes are scented, but they look straggly and grow too high.

would saxifrage work, or are the too delicate.

in all of the above..i am thinking of very minimal wear from shoes...as i would like to walk on it barefoot to relax, revitalise and be kind to my feet......after all theyve done for me !!

How on earth do I gain access to the wiring behind the light switch? There are no screws to access like in the UK. It just seems to be stuck in place.

I think the problem is in the tank. It contain I think a water saving devise but it does not have a chain but is all plastic. Attached to the handle is a plastic rod that goes into the link attacked to the central piece which covers the stopper. It is a one piece plastic bell shape and when the handle is flushed, it through the link the rod is through raises the bell shaped thing and thus exposes the hole where the water drains into the toilet to flush it. It also contain the ballcock float that is plastic and it has a plastic screw thingie which I think adjusts the height of the ballcock but this is OK as the water level is high.

The problem is that it only flushes right every 2 or 3 times with the contents going down OK..the rest of the time, the water in the tank only empties about halfway (cause the bell shaped piece goes down too quickly) and then starts filling up. this is not enough water to flush it apparently. If I hold the handle down for some time, it flushes OK,

I like the look of dandelions and daisies on my lawn, and they attract bees and butterflies.

it is the standard hollow door that you find in most houses. how do i anchor it to the door. t seems to me that anchors like i use to hang pictures on sheet rock will not work the same , because the door is thinner.

I wash my clothes well, and once they are done drying, they smell nice, and I hang them up in my closet. Well, after a week or so, they aren't smelling as fresh, and smell kinda dirty, so I don't wear those clothes and re-wash them.

Why do my clothes smell dirty even though I haven't worn them or anything? I don't put any dirty clothes in my closet. I wear them once and put them in my dirty clothes hamper. The only other thing I put in my closet are dry items that shouldn't be affecting the smell of my clothes, such as CDs, Magazines, and books.

How can I keep my clothes smelling fresh for a long time? Should I spray my cologne on them? I tried using moth balls, but I don't like the smell of moth balls. Do you guys have any tried and true methods?
