Other - Home & Garden - July 2006

Whenever it rains, my sidewalk (in the back of my house) is flooded with water. I have dug a trench along side the sidewalk and down the side of the garage (The backyard slopes) so that the water runs downhill. What can I do to make the trenches more than just dirt? Any edging or other landscaping ideas?

Thanks

Help! My home has been invaded by huge black waterbugs. I am seeing them in every room in the house. We have sprayed and put out boric acid but it doesn't seem to affect them. They are so big, even my dogs are scared of them.

It use to bloom before these stems shot up. If I am not wrong, I was told that these stems which grow straight up, are male, and they need to be cut off, as the plant will not produce flowers. Should I cut it off?

We've just purchased a 50 year old home with its original wooden windows and an very vintage Furnace and AC unit both at it's life expectancy.
We don't anticipate being at this home for longer than 5 years but would like to put some money into it to help us cut down on heating/cooling costs while getting us a more attractive re-sell when the time comes. Question is: where should we channel our money?
