House Next Door Causing Damage To My House Help?
Hello Everyone, So Here Is Whats Going On. The House Next Door To Mine Was Rented Out By 2 People Since I Moved On My Street, The First Neighnors Trashed The Whole House And The Second Neighbors That Got Kicked Out 3 Months Ago Made It Even Worse. The House Next Door Has A Yard Space Of About 3 Cars. They Have 2 Full Grown Pine Trees That Are Causing Damage To My Cars With All The Sap, Pine Needles And Pine Cones That They Acctually Clogged Up My Car From Being Able To Have Water Drain Down When It Rain So My Whole Car Became A Fish Tank After A Huge Storm. These Trees Dont Have A Stable Ground Either, They Are About As Tall As A 3-4 Story House And When The Wind Picks Up These Tree Are Swaying Like Crazy. But Thats Not The Only Problem, The Have An Additional 3 More Trees In Front Of The Already 2 Huge Pine Trees So Not Only Is My Car Covered In Sap, Pine Cones, Pine Needles And Branches, But Also Bird Crap And Leaves! Th One Tree Was Struck By Lightning Amd Branches Continue To Fall Almost Hitting My Cars And The Branches All Mixing Up In My Power And Telephone Lines.Ive Tried Talking To The People Renting The House But They Didnt Want To Do Anything. Well Now The House Is Up For Auction With Most Of The Roof Missing, The Porch Is About To Cave In And Theres 5 Huge Trees Just Waiting To Kill Somebody Or Take Out Any Of The Surrounding Houses. The Land Lord Or Who Ever He Is That Is Selling The Property Now Will Not Pick Up His Phone So I Have No Idea What To Do. Please Help
With regards to the phone and power lines getting obstructed by the trees, you can contact the power company and alert them to what's going on. They're the ones who would be ultimately liable if the trees were to disrupt power or worse yet, down a power line.
With regards to the weak/dying tree, you can try to contact the city and see if there's any restrictions on dead or dying vegetation that could be enforced in such a situation.
If the house is going to auction soon, it's likely the owner has already given up on it and likely couldn't care less one way or the other what happens with it. That means any enforcement demands made by the city or power company will go unheeded until the new owner takes over. You might want to contact your insurance company and make sure you're covered in the event a tree falls over and damages your car or house, because it's unlikely you'll be able to secure any money from the owner even if you do win a lawsuit against them.
As far as the pine needles, bird droppings, etc, you've got to kind of just suck it up and accept it as part of the deal about living here on earth with all the other hazards of nature.
Are Pine Tree Needles Toxic For Goldfish Ponds?
I Am Thinking Of Making A Goldfish Pond In My Yard, Beneath Three Large Pine Trees, But I'M Worried That The Falling Needles May Be Toxic For The Fish.
I have never heard of toxicity problems, but they could cause a downward pH shift over time.
To combat that, you could try running the water from your circulation pump through some crushed coral. If the water is too acidic, it will dissolve minute amounts of the coral which will buffer the water a bit and help keep the pH more stable.
Not sure what you have in mind for structure, but maybe you could incorporate something that would cover part or all of the pond and prevent some of the needles from getting in. That would also provide shade - maybe not a factor where you live tho, I don't know. (Where I live, if a pond isn't fairly deep it will get overly hot in the summer - so shade is a consideration)
A covering may also help protect the fish from predators - again, may be different where you live, but I had a heck of a time keeping Egrets from using my pond as a buffet.
What Should I Get This Girl For Christmas?
I'Ve Gone Out/Hung Out With This Girl A Handful Of Times Now And Its Obvious We Both Like Each Other. We'Ve Kissed A Few Times To Give You An Idea Of Where We'Re At. I'M Leaving Town For The Holidays And Would Really Like To Get Her Something, But I'M Not Really Sure What To Get Her. The Only Thing I Could Think Of Are Some Cute Christmas Flowers (Not The Cheesy Pine Cone And Big Leaf Plants). I Found Some Cool White Tulips With These Long Pine Needles That I Like, But I'M Not Really Sure If She Even Likes Flowers. If There Is A Chance That A Girl Doesn'T Like Flowers, She Might Be One Of Them (Shes Different, But In A Good Way That I Like). Any Other Ideas That Would Let Her Know That I Really Like And Care About Her, But Doesn'T Look Too Serious? Thanks

Best Nesting Material For Outdoor Birds?
We Are Avid Birdwatchers And Seem To Have Gained Quite A Few Very Early Season Brooding Pairs And Fear That The Early Season Babies Are Going To Freeze When The Cold Snaps Again. I Want To Put Nesting Material Out To Help With The Nest Building Since Dry Vegetation And Other Materials Are Scarce Outside. I'M Thinking Hair From Hairbrushes, Yarn, Paper Strips And Maybe Cotton. Does Anyone Know What The Best Thing To Put Out Would Be? What Should I Avoid Putting Out There For Them? I Know Different Birds Use Different Things To Build Their Nests With. We Have Crows, Bluejays, Wrens, Chickadees, Red-Winged Blackbirds, Bluebirds, Brown Thrashers, Mockingbirds, Grackles, Sparrows, Lots Of Finches, Tufted Titmice, Cardinals And The Occasional Buntings. Thank You!
Where do you live? I would be more worried about early babies starving to death, as nesting should occur when the food supply is plentiful. January is far too early for seed and insect eaters to be nesting in the US.
As far as nesting materials, the ones you named are good. According to about.com,
"Here's some things you can put out:
Thin twigs
Dog hair (I put out the hair from my dog after she is groomed)
Human hair (put out the hair you pull out of your brush)
Thin strips of cloth, about an 1 wide and 6 inches long
Feathers
Long dried grasses
Yarn, thread or string cut into 4 inch lengths
Pieces of cotton
Long wilted leaves from daffodils, tulips or iris
Fuzzy lint from your dryer
Small strips of cellophane or cut up plastic sacks
Spanish moss
Pine needles
Strips of fabric softener sheets"

How Do I Go About Preserving My Mums?
I Have Some Mums And I Was Wondering How I Preserve Them So That They Will Be Back Next Year. It Is Around 40 At Night Here, 60-70 During The Days. Do I Go Ahead And Plant In The Ground And They Will Survive Until Next Year, Or Should I Leave Them In Their Pots And Plant Them Next Year?
It will be best to go ahead and put it in the ground. If it is 40 at night now I am sure it will be colder later.
Leave the dead blooms and stems on it so that it will help insulate the plant. Storing a plant in a pot over winter takes it down one zone level. So if you are in Zone 7 a potted plant in zone 7 will be in zone 6. Potted Mums sometimes get to much rain and the pot may become soggy. It needs to be placed in an area with good drainage or the plant will drown. They also can get to dry if it is a dry winter and you dont go out and water. Let's face it none of us want to water in winter. In the ground it can draw its own water up from the ground.
Plants in small containers also may freeze and thaw through the winter in some areas.
All this is from experience only. I am in zone 7 or 8. They can't make up their minds.
This is what works for me.
EDIT: It means you need to put in the ground because it's gonna be very very cold. Dont cut back and give a little extra mulch, pine straw etc around it. Plant it where the ground is high. Hope this helps.
