This my preamble to my question and is not chatting.?

If that young father from Whitehaven in Cumbria was proscecuted for not paying his fine imposed on him for not shutting his dustbin down properly Then the Cumbria authority would have a field day where I live (near Peterhead Scotland) as most homes have two big wheelie bins and still have them over flowing. And what happens when it’s windy… all the rubbish finds it’s way into my garden as we have to put our bins out overnight….the cats just love it..but I hate it.

I think that all local authorities ought to provide better facilities than they do.

So what do you think the answer is folks, or does your local authority provide adequate provision for the disposing of your rubbish?

How can we resolve this problem of rubbish and fortnighlty collections. I recycle and am fortunate enough to have room for a composter, and womery also my family have all flown the coop. It must be hard for family to manage this fortnightly collection.

The UK should take a look at the way Spain deals with rubbish , we have our rubbish collected every day the bins work twenty four hours a day this costs us 18 euro every three months it’s brilliant.

Buying a Home With a Small Down Payment

Many people would like nothing more than to buy a home in Bremerton or Port Orchard, but lack a large down payment. Even if you don’t have bad credit, coming up with a sufficient down payment to get a loan is often the stumbling block that can stop you from buying a home.  FHA loans will require at least 3.5%, and conventional loans much more, up to 10-20%.

There are some options, however, that can allow you to stop cycle of renting and finally move into the home of your dreams.  Purchasing a home on a lease purchase arrangement is one such option. This is an excellent option if you have a steady income but don’t have a large amount of money in savings or simply set aside to make a down payment on a house.

The most important thing is that you have steady income to make monthly payments, and that you have a reasonable amount saved up to put down.  Usually a few thousand dollars is good enough to get started.  During the lease period, a portion of your monthly payment is usually applied towards the final down payment you’ll have for your home loan.  Building it up over time allows you to ease into home ownership and get out of renting forever.

If you’re a little short on funds, some sellers are willing to allow you to move in if you promise to make some improvements to the home, or even trade items of value such as a car, boat or ATV in lieu of a down payment.  such arrangements make it much easier for you to get into the home of your dreams without the usual obstacles.

Baby Bird??

Hi everyone,
Well today while my dad & I were taking a walk in the garden we came across two young birds. Well, we would have left them alone if it wasn’t for this: Next to them we saw a grown up bird that looked just like them but with more colours but it was dead and ants were crawling all over it. The birds were making all these noises and we felt pity for them so we said that we would take them home and see what we could do for them.
Well the thing is what could we feed them? They’re still really young and very very thin. They could walk pretty fast though and could hop a little. We have no idea what species they belong to but the grown up bird looked something like this (as far as I remember):
It had very long, very thin orange-yellow legs. Its upper side of the body was black and the down part was white. The colours red and yellow were sort of forming an eye liner surounding its eyes. Please help because we don’t want them to die or anything….

If you can’t find a wildlife rehabilitator, then look online to see what type of birds they are. If they eat any type of insects, you can get along pretty well using canned cat food mixed with water. The trick would be to get them to open their beaks for you, since you don’t look like a bird. A lot of squeaking, etc., may work. If you can get them to eat regularly, you do actually have a good chance of getting them to live. Keep them warm, but not hot. You can put them in a 10 or 15 gallon fish tank with a lizard warming rock under rags. Eventually you may really need a wildlife rehabilitator if they do not want to leave as they mature, if they do not learn to find food on their own, or if you simply cannot get them to eat now.

Can anyone recommend some herbs I can incorporate into my landscape?

We are having our yard landscaped (new home, nothing is there at all)-I’d like to add some herbs into the beds that can blend in with the other flowers/shrubs, etc we are planting.

We’re going for a very randomly shaped look…no manicured hedges, etc.

Does anyone have any suggestions? We are in zone 6.

Lavendar is gorgeous and fragrant.

Bee balm has pretty red flowers and is very fragrant and draws hummingbirds and makes a lovely little bush that you should cut to the ground every winter.

Chamomile is truly lovely and informal like little daisies.

Basil is the best culinary herb and really easy to grow as an annual, even if it’s not particularly showy. Some new varieties even look like flowers.

Thyme is a great landscaping plant. It works very well in the cracks between pavers or slabs of concrete.

I actually like the dark green ruffles of curly parsley and it’s easy to control as well as delicious.

Sage can be very pretty and comes in a lot of different varieties. It can be silver and fuzzy and smell like pineapple.

Dill and fennel might add interest if they are mixed in with flowers.

If you don’t want to spend a lot of time working on your garden, then be careful about mint or borage. Both of them can take over.

What is the best natural fertilizer for a garden at home? What happens if I use horse manure?

More like me all answers given, but advice on manure. Manure contains a good amount of sodium in a little more than others, is ideal for use but the use that year after year may increase their levels of sodium in a level toxic to plants. replace with compost or a mixture of both. The only way to know the levels in soil is through soil analysis. If this is the first year it has used the manure is poured on. if not already added and ready to plant, should be well composted. Golden Rule, smell it, if it still smells like shit in his strong, if not smell would probably be well noted earlier by another does not use dung of a dog or cat or any carnivorous very important because it can harbor diseases that can be transplanted to the plant for you if your compost is dug into its first fresh crop should not be a root crop (potato, carrot, turnip, etc.) the second harvest of manure would be nice is a good organic fertilizer, but better use in conjunction with a compound of some sort, a person can not live on bread alone requires a variety of foods to stay healthy. think of a plant of the same as mulch

Housing a rabbit?

, I decided to keep my 2 rabbits in a cage, with a career in it. Wil I keep in my backyard. It's spring (April) and sometimes it gets very hot in summer, and I will move the car in the garage. When it turns cold in the fall, I bring inside in a cage with 2 floors. I also done a condominium fact Neat Ideas Cubes (NIC) that Wil http://princessblackie.homestead.com/ play there. I will buy a house and a hopper Rabbit Hideaway. Http: / / www.catsandrabbitsandmore.com / products They will be wearing diapers, so my mom does not get angry. I will name them Daisy and Molly. Is this correct?

It appears that your rabbit will have a real home charming. Well done. As for potty training – It is best to place the tray in the hutch, and should now be a problem when placed on the doors. All my rabbits have trays their booths, and it does help keep the car clean in summer – you just clean the tray once or twice a day, maximum 5 minutes of work a day! Love the carton things I wish we could Gett hem in England. If anyone knows we can Let me know!
