Mulch & too much rain = mold? Do I need to replace
Comments (9)It sounds like a slime mold. If that is true, it is ugly but not harmful. I have heard that cocoa mulches get it a lot, which is one to several reasons I don't use cocoa mulch. (The other reasons are that it is expensive rather than free; that it smells like food, not like a garden; and finally that it has the potential to be toxic to my dog. She'll eat anything.) As for mulch depth and turning old mulch into the soil, I used to hear that advice but haven't recently, and don't do either of those things myself. I use a deeper mulch, probably around 4 inches, at least if you count the depth of the compost plus the depth of the wood chip mulch on top of that together. And soil experts these days say that it is better for the structure of the soil when microorganisms to work the compost down into the soil instead of you digging it in. In fact, they say to dig as little as possible. A really good book to read about all of this is Teaming with Microbes: A Gardener's Guide to the Soil Food Web by Jeff Lowenfels. It is a fascinating book, and very informative. Best of all, you don't need to be a scientist to enjoy it.

Comments (9)First, pull off all the rotten parts and then put a coating of cinnamon and replant in your mix with no water. Wait for a month and see if any more is rotting. I think it is too late for this one but the other two should be ok if you limit the water. Also don't let any water collect in the bottom tray. The fast draining mix should be ok to let the excess water escape. also need more light. Keep warm. That exact one I don't know about. It may be because of low light. Any body else can Identify this sans? It looks like a lime green hahnii. I never seen one befor. Lennie, if it grows again, I would love a pup from you to add to my collection.

Comments (7)You are not the first to post these type of problems. I am sorry this has happened to you. It is ridiculous to add 5 pounds of R22 to a system and then state the repair cannot be guaranteed. They should have informed you of the problem and given you a choice. In my opinion you owe them the $65 for the service call. The debate is who is going to pay for the 5 pounds of R22 that escaped as soon as it was installed. You could fight this in small claims court and try for a win, or you can cut your losses and settle now. Write them a letter explaining your position as to why you should not pay the full amount of the bill. Make your offer in the letter. The 5 pounds of R22 at $45 per pound would have been $225. You could compromise and offer half the amount on the refrigerant. You need to decided how much your time you want to waste dealing with a company you will never use in the future. Good luck with your new HVAC system. I hope the installation contractor is honest and competent....See MoreChandelier bulb socket needs replaced, do I rewrite too?
Comments (4)When you turned it back on, the breaker stayed on despite the fact that the socket was smoking? The breaker stayed on, but the lamps in the chandelier did not light at all? That is an indication that you've burned open the circuit that is common to all the sockets before it branches to the lamps or before the first daisy in the chain depending on how it is wired. In that case, you do need to repair the wiring or it just won't work....See MoreBrandi Dowden
