I just found a garden snake while going to the second floor of my house… The house has screens everywhere and the doors are closed. I have no idea how it got in. I live in the country side of a tropical island… Any non-chemical ways to make them avoid getting in the house?

Citizen asked:


Because they use water that all of the roommate pay for, I want to make it fair to everyone but there is no way to determine exactly how much more water the garden uses.
Should I charge them a full portion of the bill (ie if there are 3 renters and 1 gardener, charge everyone 25% of the bill each month)?
Should I charge them a flat fee? If so, how much?
The garden is 13′x10′.

It seems to me that garage-based hydroponics might be more effective than planting a victory garden. In a moderate climate, what does it take to operate a hydroponic vegetable garden at home?

ANY idea is appreciated. I may be able to choose the appropriate one.

katy asked:


We put cow manure on our garden 3 yrs ago. Since then we have had these redlike thorny weeds in our garden. I have hoed and cut them out and disposed of them in the burn barrel to eliminate the seeding but they still come back. What can I do that is organic to rid the garden of them?
Please organic not chemicals.
