For some reason my mother plants a large garden every year, and every year it is decimated by a large group of cute little bunny rabbits. Sometimes I think all she is doing is feeding the rabbits. I can't help her out because of my health, and she probably cannot errect fences. I do not like the idea of poisoning them (for one thing the neighbor has a bunch of purebred dogs and they are bound to eat one of the rabbits).

Traps seem silly, it would take all year to capture half of them if you caught one each night, and it would be too expensive to set up so many traps.

So I was thinking, what about a natural approach? Is there something natural we can spray that rabbits hate? A scarecrow approach of some kind? Or maybe a sound device? One of the problems with anything electrical is that the garden is at least 200 feet from the nearest outlet.

Keep in mind that she is not a very mobile woman. Also keep in mind that we are talking about a great many bunnies.

My uncle is selling us a house, but he says it'll be 2-3 months because he wants to paint it first. I know the summer time is the best time to paint, but wouldn't spring suffice.. or even doing it now?

*We're in WV. Our daily temp. has been about 50 degrees for the past week. A few weeks ago we had a few snow storms, but I think it's over now.

My husband and I have been renting a small home on a concrete slab for almost two years now. Last year around this time we noticed these flying insects. This year there are many more and we have come to realize that they are termites. They seem to be coming out of the woodwork. We are moving into a new home in about two weeks and I am very, very worried that will will carry the termites with us to the new home. Is this possible?

With recent cold weather in Southern California dipping to the low 30s at night during the Winter, my Meyer Lemon tree froze.

While the fruit itself experienced NO DAMAGE (believe me, I was totally surprised), the leaves of the tree leave me wondering what's going on.

I have trimmed off/pruned everything that is dead - anything brown. There are SOME green leaves left, but the ones that are left are dried out looking/curling. Should I trim those off as well?

And if I see one or two healthy branches left, is there any hope for the tree to come back and at what point in the Spring should I begin to feed it to prepare it to come back in order to produce flowers/fruit? Or is there there no hope at this point at all?

Please advise. Thank you for any/all help with this.

My husband and I both smoke in our house. Every day when I get home from work, there is a stale smoke smell lurking in our house. What can I do to keep it under control other than candles or opening windows (we live near chicago so that's not an option at the moment with the weather).

please also dont answer with "stop smoking in the house".

i''m only here asking to hear SERIOUS answers.

anyone know of a real remedy that doesn't involve candles or insense to just cover up the smell?

I have a 1" square x 60" long hollow metal post that a house number sign will hang on. What can I use to first of all drill a hole into the ground, how deep should the hole be, and what else can I do to secure it so it won't wobble. It is not mega strong, and I am afraid if I pound it in with a sledge hammer I will bend it.

When I walked into my house it smelled of rubbing alcohol. What could it be? I feel a little sick now, but I am wondering if it is my imagination - feeling sick, not the smell - what the heck could it be?

I have a potted plant, I leave it by my window. I had it in my dorm room, where it was fine and growing very well. I went out of town for a month, and my plant did not always get much sunlight or water. Now that I have it back at school, I leave it by the window, and water it regularly, but it will not grow back. the plant was not completely gone when i took it back, I lost half of it, but there were still a few shoots that were only a little wilted. If anyone has any idea on how to get this plant back, it would be great. I am not sure what kind of plant it is. It is still alive, it is just wilted. It has been like this for about a month now.
thanks!

I heard that they are cheaper than conventional hand made houses.
Could anyone confirm this and if it is true, by how much?
Also, how much do they cost in general, and how long they take to make.
Could they be shipped down a small street??

I burn candles all the time. I'm just wondering if anybody knows where the wax goes after it gets consumed by the flame. Does it just evaporate into the air? Are my lungs and walls now coated with wax that I can't see or what??
