I have just moved into my new place and I was wondering if you might be able to recommend a couple of plants for my backyard that would suit our harsh Australian climate? Also, do you have any tips when it comes to growing and maintaining orchids? Cheers, Mark.

Hi, I am moving house and have a few roses I would like to relocate to the new property. Some are in pot plants but the rest are in the ground.
What would be the best way to move and replant while keeping the damage and stress to the plant to the bare minimum? – Shelly, Queensland.

FOR many years I have used 0Spam to filter my emails. In mid-October it suddenly stopped working and despite lodging several requests for help to the support section and also upgrading from "free" ($30), I have not been able to get any response.

My lawn is struggling to survive. I water it regularly but it does not seem to make a difference. If I was to rip it all out and replace it, what would some of my options be? I have looked at fake lawn but I’ve heard from friends that it can overheat and sometimes get too hot to stand on. – Larry, Perth.

BOTH of my parents have been in and out of hospital recently for major surgery and my father has spent some time in respite care as he recovers. We’ve talked about them selling the family home and moving to a retirement village but they’ve decided they would rather stay independent for as long as they can.

Q: Our home has suffered significant termite damage. We have replaced all the damaged timber with treated pine. We still have to rebuild the kitchen, bathroom, laundry and ensuite, and gyprock most of the house. The exterior is bagged brick with a tile roof and looks good. We were wondering whether it would be worth continuing to repair the house or knock it down and start again?

Q: I’VE been looking for ways to save money around the house and one of my bugbears is how expensive cleaning products are. Is there a cheaper and gentler alternative that will still get the job done?

Q: I CURRENTLY use the study in my home as a business office. Will this attract CGT when I sell my home? If the office portion of the home does attract CGT, when I sell my home can I roll over the CGT component into my super to forego paying the CGT?
