Where can I get replacement parts for a better homes and gardens tv stand?
July 22nd, 2011 | 
Author: Question by Christopher: Where can I get replacement parts for a better homes and gardens tv stand?
A while ago I found this at Walmart: http://www.walmart.com/ip/Better-Homes-and-Gardens-Cherry-Finish-Flat-Panel-TV-Mount-Console/10841873
I have since lost all the screws/bolts and other parts related to mounting a TV, and while I still have the bracket and all the hardware, I’m missing the stuff to connect them together.
Does anyone know where I can get the replacement parts?

Answer by OldBones
Take what you have to Lowes or Home Depot, along with instructions. See if you can print manual if you don’t have it.Sometimes the manual will show actual size and how many screws are needed. Lowes and Home Depot have open stock of screws and they can try assorted sizes until they find the right ones needed.

Question by Victor R: Home and garden shows in California?
Hey
I have very nice home decor products(pottery,vases,fountains etc.) importing directly from Thailand.Basically my friend owns a little factory.
I’d like to know more about home and garden shows in California(or Nevada),just to have a better opportunity to spread my products across the country.Everything’s very beautiful and unique(handmade).
I’d really appreciate any suggestions.
Thank you.

I don’t know about California or Nevada, but here in Washington, you have to buy a space at a H&G show. Depending on the size of the show, this cost can get fairly expensive. You want to go to one that is sizable enough to get good exposure, but not so large as to bankrupt you before you even get started. Also, H&G shows tend to run about 6 months off, meaning they have things in the fall for the peak season in the spring and summer. You could try gift shows too. If it is a retail show (open to the public) make sure to give yourself a couple of months head start. The shows probably have a cut off date for new vendors, sometimes up to 6 months. The Christmas season will be here very soon, so if you were planning on doing a Holiday show, you may already be too late, but check anyway. If you are, try for spring shows. Once you get into one, make sure you have plenty of business cards or brochures to hand out. A website would be beneficial to both you and the customer. You could show more product in different settings and they have the chance to think about it and have another look. Good luck!

A tax on home, backyard gardens?
Question by Carlton your doorman: A tax on home, backyard gardens?
I heard a state legislator today on the radio talking about taxing home gardens that grow vegetables and other produce. This state is in serious economic trouble and they are looking at every possible source of revenue. The legislator stated that many home gardeners sell their produce at flea markets and do not pay any sales tax, that the produce grown even if not sold amounts to income and should be taxed. What do you think if the feasibility and practicality of this?

As long as they don’t tax my stash, man!

What is the meaning of “Better Homes and Gardens”?
Question by Joe from WI: What is the meaning of “Better Homes and Gardens”?
When they say better they might not mean “more expensive”. The true meaning is “upgrade”, but they don’t specifically mean a big upgrade.
My friend grows all kinds of herbs when they’re in season, he cooks, makes tea, and uses them for medicine for his elderly auntie.
Better Homes and Gardens forces you to think about what the word better really means.

for plants or building?
ok, about building. here is a nice article about free programs. three good ones are listed:
http://www.remodelingmyspace.com/ideablog/2007/11/comparison-of-top-3-free-home-remodeling-software/
if you can get someone to ship you the BHG, then it should work fine. if you have highspeed connection on your computer, then you can buy it/download directly without getting it through the mail. it looks like there are a couple versions available, some newer than others..cost around $ 20 which they are saying is at least 400 less than the disk (seems like it would pay to get highspeed at least for a month, LOL).
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=download+better+homes+and+garden&ei=utf-8&fr=b1ie7
here is a page of links about how to use and get remodeling software:
http://www.ehow.com/Search.aspx?s=remodel+software&Options=0
re plant planning. better homes and gardens is mainly a publication based on western USA gardening. like i mean garden planning software often has certain plants in it that you can arrange and or show at different ages and seasons. The list of plants in there will not be every plant in the world. each one has a certain list and some are a lot better than others..sometimes because of the number but and sometimes because of the kind. like the BBC has a program, but they are based in the UK of course so their list will be UK plants.
so if you end up shopping around keep that in mind. If you REALLY wanted to look around, then you will find a whole load of garden software. lots of it is free and some has totally better features than others. like maybe import a picture of your actual house. or import a special plant if their list does not have it. or, like i said, show the garden at different ages or seasons. Probably various other stuff that i did not mention due to i never used them.
http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=garden+planning+software&ei=utf-8&fr=b1ie7
whenever getting free software, be prepared for it not to work tho, like you were fearing. you might have to dump it and then tell your computer to go back to yesterday’s/last week’s settings.
some places offer free trials but a few are really free i think..prolly not the very best ones of course:

Mystery home and garden decor…..what are these?
Question by jessica l: Mystery home and garden decor…..what are these?
I posted a link to the picture on the bottom. I got these stands for free and love them but I am not sure what they are. The previous owner said she used them as a bird bath until she noticed the finish inside the bowl peeling so I guess they aren’t water safe. They are about 18 inches tall. Anybody know what they are supposed to be used as or have any suggestions to what I should use them for?

Answer by fluffernut
Are you near the river or up a bit to the west? The reason I ask is cold air settles down near the river putting you a little closer to zone 6 than zone 7 the rest of the area is.
What you can grow is darn near everything! The limiting factor is water! If you are right against the river, your soil may be so highly alkaline from the underground water table so near the surface, nothing will grow. If you are in sand soil, your plants will be needing near constant watering. Soils range from sand to clay depending on location. Each has its benefits and problems.
OK, back to plants: fruits: trees…apricots and sweet cherries are iffy near the river where late spring frosts usually destroy the blooms or very young fruit. You’d have excellent luck with apples, pears, sour cherries, blue plums and somewhat less results, but not impossible with peaches and nectarines. Grapes do very well as do raspberries/blackberries. Of course no blueberries, the soil is way, way to alkaline and can not be adjusted enough to grow the blue yummies. Strawberries are tough due to the hot summers, but not impossible. Nuts: pecans are growing at the Experiment Station just south of the prison. Normally the area is too cold for pecans.
Veggies…….just about everything. Realize we can warm up very quickly so delay in pea and other cool season planting may have them ripeing when temps are 90 plus. The other concern is the wind. Spring winds have destroyed many of my early spring plantings……sand blasted. If you can protect them, great.
The area is well known for growing chile peppers…….usually family farms. Most chiles are grown further south or now in Mexico.
About the only veggie I couldn’t get going was asparagus ( which is embarrasing because there was an asparagus farm must a quarter mile away and about 40 years ago) and my rhubarb just won’t work for me.
