Does your fridge door swing shut or stay open? What's "normal"?
Comments (14)Good question. I'm not sure. I do it that way mostly to protect the hinges. It's a physics thing where heavy things exert more force the farther out they are. Of course my wife is the total opposite and thinks heavy things should go closer to the outside so it would be "easier" to get at. I had her do an experiment where she held her purse in her hand with her arm fully extended. Then she slid her purse up to her biceps and compared the difference. She said the purse felt lighter on the biceps. I'd chalk this up as one of those "it can't hurt" things....See MoreWhat else would cause a FL to smell?
Comments (9)My Samsung FL gets a "residual soap" smell after a bit more than a week. (we use liquid All free and clear, sometimes highly diluted Down free/clean, and sometimes vinegar in lieu of Downy). I run the Pure Cycle (cleaning cycle) every 12 days. After that cycle has run, the washer has no odor at all (I have a sensitive sniffer. :) ) After a few washes, the soap residue smell will return. Today, my wife and I discussed the fact that not all soap is being removed from every wash load, so we are going to begin using even less All. We have been filling the All cap to Line #2. we are going to start filling only to Line #1. Maybe that will allow us to extend the times between Pure Cycles. Time will tell. This past week, for the first time, I detected a faint sour smell, so I added roughly a cup or so of liquid bleach to the Pure Cycle, and now the washer is right back to it's "odorless" state again. We always use a rag to dry the boot, soap dispenser cavity in the washer, turn the dispenser tray assembly upside down to remove excess water, and leave the door and tray open. So far, no mold has appeared on the boot. essentially the washer seems to be as pristine as the day we bought it ~6 months ago....See MoreWhat causes my heuchera to flatten out after it flowers?
Comments (1)If you live where there are weevils these can gnaw away the roots and cause crowns to collapse during summer. Otherwise if your plant looks normal except for having long stems that allow the center of the plant to show you can top dress it with suitable soil to cover the bareness, bring the soil level up to where the top of the plant is now. Or lift and divide the plant at a suitable time of year - whenever that is for these plants, I don't remember - and replant the divisions deeper, with the soil coming right up to the base of the foliage crown....See MoreWhat would cause an African Violet to suddenly droop after doing great
Comments (4)Could have been crown rot. Typically doesn't happen too often. It happens every now and then when conditions are favorable ... warmth, humidity, too wet soil, pot too big, etc. Try another plant ... or two. Keep it in a plastic pot no larger in diameter than 1/3 the spread of the plant. Make sure that the pot has drainage holes. Water it sparingly, typically no more than once/week. Drain off any excess water every time you water. Keep temperatures in the plant's growing area between 60-75 F / 15-24 C Make sure that it gets adequate light (either natural or fluorescent/LED) for 12 hours or so each day. Every now and then, add a pinch of AV fertilizer to your watering mix....See More- 4 years ago
