I'm confused about when to water cactus
Comments (2)I will give you some very general suggestions. I water mine weekly in hot weather. In nature they only get what nature gives them. I don't where you live, so it's difficult to give instructions. They are native to our south west states. The soil is well draining, and we do water once a week, except during the winter months. Never grown inside. I also give a low non nitrigen liquid fertilizer. 2-10-10 to encourage flowering. I do not grow this species at home, only at the Huntington Gardens. Just my luck I would fall into the plant. LOL Norma...See Moreshutting off my hwtank while i'm gone

Comments (3)The Plumbing codes require one main water shutoff valve for each structure, but in the case of a multi-family structure there is no requirement to have a separate shutoff for each living unit. Years ago many municipal water suppliers would install separate meters for each living unit, but as a rule they will no longer do that. Where a separate shutoff for each living unit is desired it is the common practice to install a manifold on the structure side of the Main water shutoff valve, but there is only one supply line from the street and one meter for the structure. That is why in most apartment complexes the water, garbage and sewer fees are included in the rent or lease agreement instead of each tenant receive a separate bill from the water supplier. If your community will permit a separate meter for each living unit it will require making a separate tap into the municipal main and a separate curb stop & supply line for each living unit....See MoreDesperate - doggy tantrums when I'm gone
Comments (40)We had a Boxer that we rescued when she was 6, she was housetrained and absolutly loved everyone, I caught my 2 year old cousin pulling HARD on the skin on her back one time, she was just wagging her little stump as fast as she could licking the baby all over. I had the same problem with this dog, we would leave she would become the queen of destruction, mini blinds? What mini blinds? We *had* a waterbed.. not after her, she ripped the cord out of the back of the washer (talk about give me a heart attack, and how did she manage that one anyway?) she ripped a toolbox cover off my husbands mac toolbox and then scratched lots of lovely claw marks in it and at some point she decided to do a tap dance all over my husbands 1975 TransAm, guess my idea of putting her in the garage was not such a good one *duh* It was so sad really, as I was 18 and had no clue what training a dog was about, I had gotten a puppy when I was in 5th grade, taught her so many neat tricks she minded so well, so I thought this dog would be a snap (whatever, I can't believe I was so dense) She was a puppy mill breeder before I got her and I had no buisness with that dog, we did end up moving to a farm shortly thereafter and she had a ball on that farm (story ends tragically so I am not telling the rest) On the crate training, my dogs are not crate trained, I don't know how I have kept them safe, I had never heard of crate training until both were well out of the puppy stage. neither of them are chewers, not even when they were puppies, they mostly just sleep on the bed, couch, recliner, whatever fits their mood for the day while we are gone. I do worry about fire (and tornados) I would have to say it would have to be much easier for someone to find a crate then it would be to search every nook and cranny for a terrified animal with a fire raging. my next door neighbor knows my dogs well so I THINK they would run to her if she was hollering for them, but who knows what a terrified animal would do?...See MoreEmbothrium
