Bunnings, Mitre 10, and Home Hardware are the 3 biggest retail outlets. Bunnings is biggest, cheapest, and you can get EVERYTHING for the home and garden there, from screws to entire kitchens.

First of all rinse your tools with copious amounts of cold water; then take a solution of bleach ratio: 1 part bleach-9 parts water. Then pat them dry. I’d keep some Cort-Aid or Tech-Nu around just in case you inadvertently contact it unaware. The volatile oil is called urushiol and is very potent. I just petted my dog, then touched my face when I was getting hair out of my eyes–and consequently, looked like a leper for three weeks. If you are especially sensitive just washing with soap and water may not do the trick. And whatever you do make sure it’s cold water–hot water causes the oil to disperse into the pores of your skin.

Hi there..

These plans are for a home and garden cart made from cheap and available materials.

Carts of this design are well adapted for use in the home and garden. The large bicycle tires make pulling the cart over obstructions a snap. Logs or rocks wreck havoc on wheelbarrows because they easily tip.

This cart has a long handle for easy pulling, and an ample flat bed for whatever you’re hauling. The handle’s length makes it easier to use the cart for dumping things. The rear has a removable panel that is taken out when you get to where you need to be, dumping the material is easy.

The frame is angle iron and boards, and the sides are plywood. We’d suggest using marine grade wood.

GardenersCardiff answers:

Considering the labor involved and the amount of concrete, it would most likely be cheaper and easier to buy them.

They take a while to cure before you can remove them from the mold and also getting the color consistent from bag to bag and batch to batch would be EXTREMELY difficult. Depending on the size bag, you would be surprised at how little. A 50 pound bag would probably only make 30-40 bricks or so, figuring a brick of 12 inches long (you don’t say how deep, but I am assuming 2.5 by 4 or so which is the minimum that could be used effectively as a retaining wall.

Also, retaining walls tend to move and expand (or be of material strong enough to withstand the expansion and contraction of the soil as the seasons change: dry, really wet in spring, and freezing expansion in winter. An interlocking system would do this; a brick you made would have to be very thick to withstand this, and building it could prove difficult: remember the wall needs to start at least a foot down, deeper depending on your frost zone.

You can get her a little garden carrier and fill it with bulb food, a bulb planter (you can get this stuff at a nursery), a pair of Felco pruner (maybe too expensive, if so, leave this out), a pair of gardening gloves, and scoop short-handled digger . . . And then, order her a few bulb catalogs (Scheepers has great pictures, or White Flower Farms, Bluestone perennials), roll them up and put them in, too. You can add a little watering can to the carrier (though it likely will just be for looks, not very functional).

She’ll love it!

Backyard Living! Http://www.backyardlivingmagazine.com/

This magazine has no advertisements. It has lots of great contests with small (wind chimes) and large (garden tractor) prizes. It also has lots of stories (funny and helpful) written by readers.

Backyard Living’s entire magazine is devoted to landscaping, planting, and gardening, while Better Homes and Gardens also features indoor decorating and cooking, as well as some self-improvement articles. It isn’t as gardener-intense as Backyard Living.

I am a landscaper/planter/gardener by hobby, and Backyard Living is a “never throw away” magazine!

Another poster suggested Birds and Blooms. This is also an excellent “no advertisement” magazine; I believe it’s published by the same folks that do Backyard Living and Taste of Home.
