Home & Garden - 29 November 2007

I'm growing my first bonsai tree and I really don't know much about plants. Today I was checking on them and I noticed that one of the little plants that grew fell out of the seed, is that normal? I'm worried that I killed them already lol. Any advice is welcomed.

I am tilling and sodding an area around the existing grass and just for uniformity and to make sure the grasses are the same, I was going to sod over the existing grass area. The existing grass is growing fairly well but is uneven and a bit clumpy. I want to till it and then roll the whole area before laying the sod so I have a nice smooth surface.

Many people said the best way to clean window glasses is using newspaper..Do you think if i use newspaper to clean reading glasses it will have the same sparkling effect?

OK, I know the best time to plant is in the Fall, but I face a multitude of problems.

1) I live in NC and we are in the midst of a horrible drought.
2) My lawn is overrun with crabgrass
3) Both my neighbors do not keep up with their lawns and are where I got crabgrass in the first place.

Number one is why I could not plant a lawn this fall, two and three are why I am asking you all this question. How do I kill the crabgrass and once I plant my grass seed, and hopefully make it to where it is nice and lush - how do I fend off my neighbors' crabgrass?

A detailed list of what I need, and what I need to do would be great!

Bought lawnmower new 2 years ago. I do the oil change when necessary and spark plug is good. No matter what throttle setting. It just seem like it wants to turn off but then revs back up to normal then wants to shut down and then the motor revs back to normal constantly. Seems like every second.

Could it be the blade. It was a little worn so I sharpened it but it still does the same thing. I opened up the carb already and cleaned everything out but no luck with it so far.

I have a "marshmallow" winter jacket from a few years ago which has the exterior shell made out of PVC. The tag says not to dry clean or machine wash, and to spot clean the exterior as necessary. The problem is the interior and exterior have gotten very dirty (it's baby blue so it shows). How can I get the dirt out?

My father has an annoying tree in the front yard and wants it to "go away." The city will remove it after it is dead. He hears that putting copper nails and/or copper wire in the tree will do the job. How many nails would be needed? The tree is 2 ft in diameter and 40 feet tall. Don't worry, there are plenty of other trees around. This one is growing too close to his house.

My mate at school recently bought an old beaten guitar but a week later he brought it back into school with the front covered in newspaper cuttings with pictures on top of that and seriously it looked AMAZING. I've also got a beaten up guitar and I wanted to decorate it the same way my mate did his. I asked him how he got the newspaper to stick and go really hard but he was really vague in saying he used "laquer and glue" can anyone tell me what this means and also if you have any tips on decorating it a different way much appreciated.

Okay... So I have a necklace, but I plan to use it as a gift to someone else for christmas; however, there are somethings (I'm not sure whether it's rust, stains...etc). So I need to know good and cheap ways to clean my necklace (I don't want to spend money on just to clean my necklace because I'm on a tight budget). Thanks.

I have an overflow that is constantly running water on my well. It wasn't a real problem in the warm weather but now it's freezing and I'm not sure if it's supposed to do this or not. I wouldn't think that it is supposed to constantly run water, is it?
Thank you!
