I'm told that if you save and plant the seed from a hybrid tomatoe plant, that the resulting plant will not be the same as the 'parent' plant. I understnd that. What I don't understand is how they...

I've been wondering about how hybrid plant seed are produced... For example some tomatoe plants, are hybrids, which I believe mean that if you plant the seed from that plant, it will not reproduce...

Just as an interesting aside... I read that the tomatoe had been considered poisonous for hundreds of years because they were being cooked in lead pots whereby the acid dissolved enough of the lead...

I agree with the person that suggested drilling deep holes (I used a 3/4" bit) and periodically filling them with diesel. Do this for two or three weeks, refilling them as it is absorbed. Then...

When President Clinton was impeached, why wasn't he removed from office? Now I understand that the Illinois governor is going to be removed from office if he is impeached. What's the deal?

I'm curious about the effect, if any, of the wind chill factor. Suppose the outside temperature is 33-34 degrees and there is a brisk breeze blowing that causes the wind chill factor to be 27...

Hi Blake! I couldn't open the site that you recommended, just get a red x where the data is supposed to be... hmmmm?

My old Troy Bilt mini-tiller (Garden Rite or Garden Way I think is the name on it) has developed a problem with gear oil migrating up from the gearbox to the centrifical clutch which causes it to...

Ohm's law is stated as follows:
P=IxE
P is power Or watts
I is current or amps
E is applied voltage
In your situation, assuming that you are using 120 volts, the answer to your question is as...

I agree with hvac. Take a flashlight and try to see if there is any indication that the motor is actually spinning when you have it in the run or pump out cycle. I believe that dishwashers...

If you notice a frosty condition going only halfway up the wall of the freezer, my first suspicion would be that the unit is low on refrigerant. A defective defrost system generally would show frost...

My brother's 7 year old grand daughter was writing a thank you letter. While she required very little assistance in writing the letter, my brother advised her to close the letter with the standard...

I have a number of banana trees at the edge of a pond that I 'built' in our backyard. We live in central Texas, to give you an idea about our climate. They have produced fruit only one time since...

Ebains & FlyYakker, thanks for the clarification! The experiment cleared it up for me. I suppose what I failed to consider was that everything (sun, moon and earth)is in constant movement or orbit...

Thanks fro the additional info! I'm still puzzled by what causes the 'dark' part of the moon as we see it. I had foolishly thought it was caused by the earth being between the sun and the moon, but...

Thanks for the info Tickle! I think I understand, but am not sure. If what we 'see' of the moon is caused by the relationship between the location of the moon in its orbit and the sun... then why...

You are right 'Asking'! Now that you mention it, I lost one of our cats when I was using the poison! Thanks for that reminder. I was reading at another site about a similar issue (squirrels in the...

I didn't have any of them come back into the walls to die... that was the beauty of it!

I have been puzzled for years about the visible shape of the moon as it goes through its various phases. Specifically, when we see the moon in what I'll call 'a quarter moon' state, the visible part...

I would recommend that you use a rat poison that results in their becoming extremely dehydrated before they die. This insures that they will be desperately hunting for a source of water just before...

Do you have a bathroom vent that is separate from your central AC/heating system? If so, get up close and sniff to see if the odor is coming from there. It's possible that you have a dead rat in...

I'd like to know what long lasting chemical I can use around our pier & beam foundation to insure that termites don't come around. I have a friend that has the license required by our state for...

Recently a radio talk show gave a web site whereby you could type in a person's full name or first name, middle initial & last name (using Google) and get all kinds of information about them, such...

I always thought the different 'phases' of the moon was caused by the earth's shadow on it. This made sense when looking at the 1st quarter, but as the moon 'gets bigger' the visible part is no...
