Q:i shop at lilian vernon and fingerhut....but are there any other catalogs that offer that type of stuff for your home,car and garden?

Lakeside Collection has a nice variety and low, low prices on home and garden , gadgets and other stuff. I always enjoy looking through this catalog, although I don't always buy. Ginny's is mostly home and garden and has an easy-to-get choose and charge plan. Seventh Avenue is affiliated with Ginny's and has similar items. Collections Etc. has a lot of fun, seasonal items, most things are less than $20. There are tons more catalogs available but these are some of the ones that I enjoy. Google 'catalogs' for lots more choices.

Q:I have an aquarium habitatat so tubes are not good. Thanks!

I used butter on my sugar glider wheel. It use to drive me nuts. The only down side is you have to do it every 3 days because those little buggers would lick it all off.

Q:How can I enrich my home vegetable garden?

compost.. either home generated or from a nursery, work it in deep.. i cover mine with almost a foot of leaves in the fall and turn those under every year along with cow manure.. if your garden is smaller but a few large bags of potting soil and work that in as well..

Q:What should I grow in my vegtable garden first this year?

Just experiment with a variety of veggies (preferably one that you like to eat). Tomatos,summer squash, peppers, carrots, radishes are all easy crops. Check out mywebsite for more ideas and tips: backyardfarm101.blogspot.ca/

Q:I am looking to fix a relatively cheap soil test kit, most likely one that you send out to a lab for results, which will tell me if my soil is safe to plant a vegetable garden in. I have found a bunch of different soil test kits, i.e. PH, moisture, etc. but none for contaminates. Thank you for all of your help in advance !

I can only speak from experience which is slightly old now that I'm retired.......The tests for contaminants is contaminate specific, that is you must specify what contaminant you are looking for and then the appropriate test is made.......at a very high cost......$150 a pop back then. We could not do a broad screen contaminate test.....we had to have an idea first. I'd suggest you have a typical soil test done by a Laboratory and include micro nutrients such as iron, etc. Contact your Cooperative Extension agent in your county to learn about the soil test process, how to properly gather the soil and how to package and of course, how much $ to include. The agent can also help decide if the soil might have been contaminated. A simple test for herbicides is to gather some soil into two pots. In one grow lawn grass or corn and in the other grow beans. Certain herbicides work on either a monocot or dicot type plant. For example if you can't grow the bean but can grow the corn you know the soil has residual herbicide for dicots.

Q:I got heaps of these really small black flies that are breeding in my home. They look just like a black ant (same size, black, thin, long) but then when you look up close they have 2 wings on them. A friend gave us a printer and noticed the whole thing was infested with them. Now the printer has gone, they wont go. They tend to be hanging around our window glass and sills in our bathrooms, bedrooms, kitchen. I cant spray anymore as its giving me allergies. What are they? and how can I rid them?

Q:If an online tool isn't available, I'd also take software suggestions. I'd love to have it also have plant suggestions, ect.I just bought a house and it has a lovely backyard that is all dirt at this point. When spring hits, I have to start planting!

My son gave me the Better Homes and Garden's 3D Garden and Deck Planner several years ago that I enjoyed every winter since then. I'm sure what's available now is even nicer, but this came with an encyclopedia of plants of all kinds, with information for each plan about how big it gets, what kind of light and water it needs, etc. You map out your yard and can put your house, fences, driveway, etc. You drop plants in from the overhead view, and then you get to take a virtual walk through it in a 3D view. You can also go at it another way, starting with a photo of certain areas of the yard, and then add plants to the foreground. Lots of fun. I lovely backyard that is all dirt... Sounds like a perfect place to find a corner to compost in for starters. Have fun.

Q:I am away from home and my cookbooks and haven't been able to find the recipe on line....it is mixed in a pan on top of the stove, not with a mixer.
