If i plant a radish seed in the soil, and it receives no sunlight, will it actually grow. I will have to measure it after 3 weeks.

So, what do you think the height would most likely be. I think it would be less than 5 inches.

Do you have an idea how much a plant would grow in the dark (no sunlight) after 3 weeks? You can give information about plants in general or about radish plants.

Thank you!

The house next door to me was repossessed and has been empty for over a year. We live in an estate neighborhood and all the houses have large lawns. It has 3 acres that are not mown and rodents, snakes and such have moved onto the lawn. The row of spruce trees that run next to my house are dying. We paid to cut and remove stumps of 2 of them but there are many more about to die. The house is infested with termites and goodness knows what else. Who is responsible to take care of this mess? Surely we aren't supposed to just sit back and live with it when we have to live by restrictions and rules.

Every year at about this time we notice wasps inside our house. This year it is exceptionally bad. I am killing more than 10 wasps per day. I can't figure out where they are coming in from. Is it possible they have a nest in one of my walls or in a vent? If so how can i eliminate this problem?

I am from Mexico and can't get used to having 40w light bulbs at home. I feel so depressed by coming to my flat and having almost no light at all. So I have been looking to get brighter lights and came up with the fact that regular light bulbs are going extinct. Can someone explain to me why this is, besides environmental factors. What are the kinds of light bulbs there are out there, and which is the brightest one I can find.

Thanks

I just installed the unit in my basement because there is no ventilation at all.

The duct leads outside my house.

I want to check the air movement in my 10x10 basement space.

What is the best way to do this?

My husband and I planted tomato plants in the spring and we had a good harvest. What do I do now that the plants are rotting. Should I uproot them, cut them back or just leave them? I had them in those stand up cages but I've removed them. I'm not sure what I should do with the plants now. Will they help the soil if I leave them to rot? Would they seed for next season or would I have to replant with new?

Hi, I wonder if anyone could shed some light on this.

I had to do a building inspection at a hostel for work today in Ealing, London and they were having a major problem with ladybirds.

On opening one window fully, at least a hundred ladybirds were nesled in the seam between window and frame.

This wasn't the first room to be affected. They had been having problems with ladybirds coming through the open windows and actually inflicting bites on residents!

The ladybirds themselves did not look like the classic ones I remember when I was a kid - some were black with red spots, some were red with large black/yellow spots, some were red with lots of tiny black spots.

I haven't experienced this ladybird invasion in SE London/Kent where I live but apparently colleagues in Croydon and other London areas have.

Can any one shed any light on this 'invasion' and why it is happening this time of year? It seems so unusual!

Many thanks.

recently purchased a house 4 weeks ago and 1 of the things we asked the vendors to do before we completed was to have the central heating and boiler checked and guareented because the boiler was quite old..no problems they did that and there friend a corgi registered engineer passed it off so that was that day of exchange we went to the property all excited when we tried to put the central heating on nothing so we went into the cupboard tried everything still no heating so on inspection of the boiler it did not look like a service had been done on it so we decided to get our own independent engineer to look at it and oh my god he condemned the system to be unsafe and leaking carbon monoxide. so if me and my children had moved into this property we were basically at great risk. We have now got our solicitor involved but he is saying we have no case cuz we have no hard evidence but we have 2 contradicting reports!! any advice would be great

We have a huge fly problem in the area we live in, and they get into the house very easily, and I am having a hard time getting rid of them. They're getting out of hand, and I'm open to any suggestions. And please, mature answers only. The house is clean, food not left out, etc. Thank you so much.

I live in an apartment that has no outdoor space at all (no balcony). However, it has large floor-to-ceiling windows. I am on the 27th floor, with an absolutely unobstructed view. Can a satellite dish receive signal through a plate glass window?

Well, it is becoming winter time so there are expected spiders to come into the house. But it's been more then usual lately.

Mostly in my room. And the majority of them are big ones. My room is indeed, a mess. The other room we've been seeing them in the most is in my bathroom. It's not really cluttered or anything like how my room is. Just needs a scrubbing.

But what's with all the spiders??? My mom thinks it has something to do with under my bed, but under my bed I swear is the cleanest part of my room. There's only a small tool box and a couple of books.

Can anyone tell me why I keep seeing so many of them? Particularly in my room and bathroom?
