Tomatoes, half in the ground, half in the container? ( bottomless
Comments (11)I have a new garden too that could use more organic matter than just the green matter (corn, beans, peas, etc) that grew in it this year, being worked in. I have several large plastic bags, and now that the leaves have been dropping from the trees this past week, I plan to visit some local parks on my way home from work and scoop up some of the leaves. In lots of areas the wind has already blown them into condensed piles/areas, so it should be to hard of work. I'll take a small dustpan with me to help scoop. Maybe that could work for you? I would also like to know how I can get my hands on some old, used, discarded (and thus free?) tires, the smaller ones, trailer size. I'd read they are good for planting vegetables that like to have warmer roots (melons, tomatoes). And that would raise the plant up a bit, not as much as the greenhouse shrub pots, which are now hard to come by since the municipality I live in has stopped the annual spring cleanup, where everybody stuck out what they wanted the garbage man to take away (old chairs, pots, wood, you name it).

Comments (8)I have a shark pet perfect II hand vacuum and I REALLY like it. It's the first hand vac I've had that actually picks up debris and cat hair on throw rugs and the cat's blanket that he sleeps on. Prior to owning this, I had to lint roll the blanket (using a ridiculous number of lint roller sheets) daily. It has a roller brush that actually works and great suction. If you read reviews, there are complaints about the accessories falling off while using. I just tap them in with the heel of my hand to make sure they're mounted firmly and have had no issues....See MoreHalf hardwood, half carpet... Where should I creat a line?
Comments (34)JudyG, more wood lol. The flooring in the entryway is mosaic ceramic tile. Circa 1961. It asks for nothing so I am considering keeping it. The oak wainscoting on that one lone wall you mentioned, I could probably take it off but there was a staircase there at sometime according to the original house plans so id have to peak... It matches the entryway wainscoting. Actually, I am open to any and all suggestions. I recently painted the dining room and am happy with the color (living, dining and kitchen) but I took everything off the walls and never put it back up. I just keep looking at this blank slate and wondering how I can get it up to speed. So flooring first. I'm swaying hubby over to hardwood and I'll get my way. Lol. Thank you!...See MoreHelp me pick tile for our half bath!
Comments (7)@Mary Tillios thank you, to clarify, we're using just one type of subway tile in one bathroom. I'm debating using it at all because we already have a different type of white subway tile in another bathroom upstairs. I was wondering if it will look like the renovations were done by different homeowners or done at very different times, because the wall tile I have is the super plain, cheap white subway and the one installed in the upstairs bathroom is pricier with a undulated look to it ....See MoreCadyren
