Q:i am considering buying a barratts home and want to know if the garden will be laid to lawn or if i have to pay extra

For the right price, I'm sure the builder will do any kind of landscaping you want.

Q:the recipie i'm looking for, i believe, includes sweet n condensed milk.

I think you make cajeta by placing a closed can of sweetened condensed milk in a pan with water and then in the oven for a few hours. I have tons of BHG annual cookbooks. I could look it up and email it to you later. Do you know what year the recipe came out?

Q:I live in an urbanized area so I have a very limited space for backyard gardening. I want to have an access to vegetables that are safe and nutritious, meaning 100% free from chemicals. What can I do? What vegetables can I start growing? Useful links will be appreciated. Thanks! :)

Buy some plant food, ask the Nursery staff what to get. There are all different types. And ask how often you should be feeding and watering the plants. SO once you are all organised get home, plant and wait for everything to grow. It sounds like a lot, but I find it fun and relaxing and so rewarding! Make sure you keep an eye on your plants. Don't forget about them. If they start to not look like they are going that well (e.g. going a funny colour, getting spots, being eaten by something) try and research what is causing this problem on google or at your nursey and you will be about to find a solution. Herbs are a great way to start! Tomatoes and things like spring onions and silverbeet are easy to grow, give them a shot! Good luck :)

Q:What is the best kind of tobacco to buy for making tobacco water for pesticide for my home gardens. I bought a can of Grizzly natural Chewing tobacco becasue it was cheap, but is there a better brand to buy or are cigarette tobaccos better to use for pesticides? Also what is the best method of making it? I heard that just boiling in a pot of water and straining out the tobacco works well but is there a better way?

N. Rustica has the highest amount of nicotine and is often used as a pesticide. Boiling it down will work just fine.

Q:Can anyone give me a list of careers, that give parties, sell with catalogs and basically are done from in the home? I'm looking for a list other than Avon, Mary Kay Tupperware but that are similar to the way these companies are run.

Q:Why do they keep trying to put all my questions in home and gardening today?

Because you forgot the water the garden.

Q:There are a lot of little projects that I would like to do in my home. It was my mother-in-law's home so I would be able to know the history going back 30 years. How should I prioritize the following projects (especially if we plan on living in the home between 5-10 years)?-9 Replacement Windows (currently very drafty single-pane, wood frames) -A friend mentioned that the home's insulation may be shot (not sure) would this be a better investment than windows?-Bathroom (sq. footage unknown but not very large, I would say 8ftx6ft space includes sink/tub/toilet small built-in cabinet)-Kitchen (again, sq. footage unknown but cabinets are 30+ years old and there are only 3 lower cabinets, 2 small drawers and very little counter space)-Landscaping

The smartest thing to do is call in an energy survey ...It will cost between $ 125 and 150. It will save you thousands. This will identify what areas need to be addressed first. Getting the house properly sealed and insulated is a huge priority or you will be spending the money needed to remodel in heating and cooling bills. If funds are tight be sure the windows are properly caulked and put the heat shrink plastic on the windows this year - spend the money on the insulation. Many times...you can DIY the insulation in rooms such as the attic. The attic if not the proper rating will lose 30% of your heat/cooling. The next thing to address is the electrical to make sure that your service is adequate. The HA VC and hot water heater should be looked at at this time. The kitchen sounds unworkable. There are many ways to get a great kitchen for next to nothing. Craig's list your local buy/sell people will sell their old kitchens winnipeg.kijiji.ca/c-buy-and-sell... A little paint new handles and this could be great. Counter tops can be tiled or painted too. Also your local cabinet maker that works out of his garage will have better quality and offer less expensive options then even Home Depot or Lowes in the end you have a local craftsman to refit your kitchen. Bathroom is the last priority. Landscaping is a grab as you go. Wait for end of season sales on plants ..trees and shrubs July is a great time to address these. Have a plan and be willing to alter it for a better find. Check out the salvage yards for fencing stones pavers lighting and construction material. The biggest thing is you and your wife need to really think hard and realistically on what your willing to commit time wise, what your willing to learn and what you need professionals for. If you need a professional get at least 3 estimates and referances.

Y!A has ALWAYS been community moderated since its inception in 2005. I dont get where people think the system that went into place last September was somehow NEW, because it WAS NOT. How would the asker of this question feel if they knew that actually the people turning in the abuse IN BULK are actually users that are Level 6 and 7 that have grown so weary of the abuse that they take it upon themselves to add a quota of reports to their daily quota of answers, questions and votes?? I have been known to report in bulk, but I report the ABUSE, not the abuser. I really dont care who the user name is under the avatar. I am looking at the ABUSE, NOT THE ABUSER. Yahoo isnt going to hire a bunch of people to moderate a FREE forum. The ONLY way you are going to get around this is to CHARGE for Y!A like Google Answers did... but then you will see the site become the ghost town GoogleA did... The kiddies will NEVER NEVER NEVER pay to post their swill... NEVER.
