I found an antique desk and it is solid wood but I am not sure what it is made out of..pine or oak, most of the antique oak desks were made of oak back in the day, but can someone help me distinguish the difference between the 2 woods?

I have a beautiful Peace Lily from my Mothers funeral. I have it in indirect sunlight and water it about once a week to 10 days.

1)What is the best "food" for this plant?

2)Should I repot it so it has room to grow?

3)What would cause individual leaves to die??

4)Should I be "cleaning" the leaves with a misting bottle and soft cloth?

I have never had live plants because unlike my green thumbed Mom who could make anything flurish, plants come to my house to die... lol

Any help would be appreciated as I am desparate to keep this plant alive and well.

Thank you in advance.

I live in the UK and would like to start growing fruit and vegetables in my back garden. The garden is a good size and I have plenty of space. Has anyone got any advice on where is best to start and also do I need to have a green house, or is there any way to do it without one.

Thanks!

My mother who lives in Bournemouth on her own, is thinking about getting a water meter. She lives in a fairly small house, one bedroom and doesnt use much water, just the usual i.e. one bath a day, waters plants in a fairly small garden etc. Would it be worthwhile her getting a water meter to save money?

We've gone through countless batteries over the Christmas holidays because my son seems to have every game ever invented which requires them. What is the best way of disposing of them?

If you have a guest stay for one night (someone that is not likely to come again in the near future) and they do not remove the linen.
Do you think...
they are selfish?
they don't know how to take off the sheets?
they think that all guests in your house sleep on the same used linen?
none of the above?

What do you think?

One of my friends is very old and has asked me to help with ridding his home of mice. He says that I should not set traps because they don't work. I decided that getting a hunting party together would be most effective, but I need a good gun first. I want to get the most mice!

For almost two months now I have been dealing with little gnats in my kitchen. I found a potato that had been forgotten about in the cabinet and disposed of it. After reading online I thought I had a case of fruit flies. But I watched them and caught one and examined it and know positively they are fungus gnats. I have kept up with taking trash out, dishes cleaned, etc. but they have taken over the kitchen and bathroom now. They are starting to migrate all over the house. I don't own any plants and am at my boiling point with these things. Any and all advice is greatly appreciated!

I live in Minnesota (don't know if that really matters for this question, but just in case you need to know for regulations or something on research), and I need to get my water purified! I am spending about $37/month for 1 gallon jugs of drinking water. My shower ( i have 3 full baths), toilets, and sinks get yellow with rust stains . My laundry turns yellow, even when I use bleach! What kind of purification system can I get that will filter my whole house and give me an under-the-sink drinking water system? I prefer something that is going to actually work and save me money. Does anyone know of anything? Thanks!
