Can someone tell me what this is?
3 years ago
I need to replace the metal part, but I don't know what it's called. When tightened, it pushes against the dowel (sticking up) and prevents it from swiveling. Thanks!

Comments (7)Fridges with water lines (ice makers/water dispensers) are some of the WORST causes of moisture issues in a kitchen. Most people think sinks or dishwashers, but the fridge is the worst...hands down. Pull the fridge out (put something under the feet and pull it forward. Remember to shut off water lines and unplug if you have to. That little bit of dark in the wood is hiding a much bigger issue. The sooner you get on this, the less damage you will have. Once you have found the leak, get in there with towels and fans and then call your home insurance to get the name of a remediation company. If you can see the floor from underneath (like a basement with an unfinished ceiling) then go ahead and do that after you make all the phone calls. Gravity LOVES to pull water DOWN. Only when water has backed up enough to create a little pond or reservoir will it move 'up' to the surface of a floor (like yours is doing)....See MoreCan someone tell me what this is?

Comments (9)It's nearly impossible to determine the exact reasons your plants are suffering because of so many problems they exhibit, and because they are grown in containers. Stunted plants can be caused by many reasons such as low oxygen levels in the soil, insufficient sunlight, viruses, cold soil or nutrient deficiencies. And the foliage issues are a deficiency of nutrients but hard to pinpoint compounded by the environmental stress the plants are dealing with. Watering is always an issue when growing in pots because several nutrients can easily be washed out of the soil when watering such as nitrate nitrogen, sulfur, boron, Manganese and Chlorine. Tomatoes/potatoes use a lot of sulfur, it easily leaches out of the soil and the fertilizers you're using does not seem to contain any. In fact it doesn't have much of anything except Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, so I'd start with sulfur as a potential deficiency. Your fertilizers are not a good selection for container gardening and you should be using a fertilizer which clearly states on the nutrient analysis Nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and also includes Calcium, Magnesium, Sulfur, boron, copper, Manganese, zinc and maybe Molybdenum. Fish emulsion lacks many of these minerals with little to none and best suited for the ground. What did you use for the dirt in the pots? If your soil isn't porous and compacts there is no place for oxygen, and plants take oxygen from the soil as a basic requirement. The roots also drown and die if water can't drain in compacted soil, or the water runs down the sides of the pot. I'm not into container gardening but there is a lot to know to be successful. Sorry but I can't give you any easy answers. They're are some container gardener experts on this site and maybe one can give you a few pointers....See More- 3 years ago

P.S. You might also try searching 'eye pin hardware' and 'lifting eye pin hardware'
