Other - Home & Garden - April 2007

We're first time home owners and new to yard work, therefore we did not know to cut our hostas last fall. They are now a pile of dried leaves on the ground. Should I cut them back (removing all the dead leaves) and wait for them to re-sprout before mulching? Or do I need to pull them up and start over?

Also, I'm in Minneapolis, when should they start appearing?

TIA!

I like to "free feed" my dog so I leave her bowl sitting on the kitchen floor. I can't now! AARRRGGGHHHH! All of a sudden I have those little ants everywhere. I just moved to No. Virginia. Is it just the season? What can I do? I have to keep her bowl in the fridge and she is sad and so am I. I hit 'em with Windex but I have had to throw out many bowls of dog food. HELP!!!

I live in an apartment complex in California, and we have a really nice patio that is in need of cleaning. We have to water faucet close by which I could hook a garden hose to. Is there something I could by at Home Depot that I could connect a hose to kitchen sink, or perhaps bath tub? I am looking to purchase a kiddie pool for my dog, and I was in need of the hose for cleaning, and filling the pool. thanks

Can anyone reccommend a good treatment that I can purchase in quantity without spending a fortune. I used little tubs last year 'cuprinol' and by the time I'd finished it had cost a fortune.

My boyfriend and I might be moving into a house if the loan gets approved and there are two windows on the porch and whoever redid the house painted them yellow, like on the glass. Totally painted so no light can get in. Is there any way of getting the paint off?

My water makes a pink slimy stain when it pools up somewhere for a day or two. It stains the drain and the toilet. Also, when you leave a few drops of water in the bathtub, a pink stain appears. Its gross, it comes off with soap. But I wonder why it does that?

We've moved into a new house, and lo and behold, there seemes to be a permanent midgie mist over our lawn. Is there anyway to dispel this annoying nimbus of bitey insect pain? I thought for a while that an ultra violet style electric zap-trap might do the job, but having bought a cheap version, they don't seem to care about the light. Any ideas?

I'm making a shadow box from a large picture frame, but i didnt' realize that the glass is not exactly clear. The pics would have to be right up against the glass to see through. Is there anything i can use in replace of the glass that would still look good?

I have to get a new fence. My old spruce fence is falling down. PVC fencing looks nice and lasts a long time (or so Ive heard). Ive never had PVC before. Its expensive. Not sure if I should buy it or just go with spruce.

Anyone here have PVC and any advice. Also, if I go with the PVC, any tips or precautions?
