Question by a chick: Any of you raising kids on a mini-farm? What chores do you allocate regarding animal care, garden etc…?

Best answer:

Answer by edwardnow
Is that like the show on TLC called small world? Or is that were you raise small animals? Or does that mean you have a small plot of land?

I think you ask a great question here. I had three sisters and not only was I the youngest I was the only boy. I am sorry that I didn’t have chores to do. I am Intelligent to a small degree but I am completely irresponsible because I was not taught good old fashion values like taking care of my responsibilities. I am paying for it now. I don’t make as much as Joe the plummer.

It depends on their age and size. Depending on their demeanor you may not want them around the horses. Although I personally would love to become a horse whisperer.

Is it possible to sue a lawncare company for not providing me with a nice lawn?

SiteAdmin — Thu, 16 Feb 2012 10:50:21 +0000

Question by Righteous One: Is it possible to sue a lawncare company for not providing me with a nice lawn?
My lawn looks terrible with brown patches all over. During this past season they have been out here applying what they say is best for the lawn. Finally I called them and told then that the lawn looks terrible. They told me it has what they call leaf patch. A month or two later I called again because it got worse. They then told me it was because my lawn has chinch bugs. My whole point to them was this: If I pay a company for lawn service, I expect to have good results. If along the way, they see theres a bug problem, why didnt they take care of it to avoid further distress? I use this example. You go to a dentist for a cleaning, he does what is routine and nothing more. You then tell him you have a toothache. He now tells you, that you have cavities. Well, a professional would clearly tell you what they found other than the routine visit. So the same applies here.They came out and sprayed but never saw the problem. I feel I should have a whole new lawn from them now. what do you think

Take pictures! Get notatized statements about the appearance of your lawn from any neighbors that will cooperate. Get all your receipts together and head for small claims court. You definitely have a case.

I want to plant a rose garden and other flowers, how do I start? Or take care of it? I never done it before?

Question by : I want to plant a rose garden and other flowers, how do I start? Or take care of it? I never done it before?

Best answer:

Answer by gr8music at qtrtilldawn
First find a good sunny area, easy to get into and work. Depending on the type of rose you want to plant, build up the soil for that. (see links). Turn the soil now, in the winter and get the soil ready for spring. Many insects like rose bushes, so a proper start is easier than fixing it after you started.

Depending on the other flowers you want to plant, some do not like the same soil PH as roses, and you do not want to have plants that shade the roses and/or their stems/roots. Roses do not like wet stems.

If your doing it just for looks, they have many dwarf rose plants that are real hardy, they are more of a bush than a real plant. But they also have smaller or more of a carnation looking rose. They also have creeping, vine type roses, if you have a trellis those are good also.

A lot of this all depends on your area you want to use, full sun, partial sun, shady, etc. All plants take different settings.

Stop by a neighbors home that has a rose garden, ask them, throw out some praise and they will be happy to talk. Besides what I have written in here, unless we know your area, your planting zone, your location for the garden and your soil composition there is not a lot we can say.

Question by : Did you know that the song “Move along” by the All american Rejects…?
Lyrics sound like “Mow the lawn” instead of move along? No joke listen to it:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1SQg-TzmAr0

So the lyrics sound as if it’s saying:
“Mow the lawn, mow the lawn, JUST TO MAKE IT THOUGH! And even when all hope seems gone, mow the lawn, mow the lawn, JUST TO MAKE IT THOUGH!”

lol I noticed that while playing rock band once.

Question by : I say “Surrup”. No one is answering! 10 Points!?
Hi! I am from North Florida where it is more southern than south florida. I don’t speak THAT southern in the way I say things but sometimes I say stuff that would be considered southern. I was just wondering if saying “cut the grass” is southern? Is it something only people in the south would say? Instead of “mow the lawn”?. Also is pronouncing the word Syrup as (Surrup) only a way that someone would pronounce it in the south? Thanks in advance!

Answer by kyle
I think that saying “Cut the grass” is normal or country. I elves in Mississippi and I say cut the grass. I know I lice in the country, but in my opinion, I think its either way. Hope this helped!
