Ruth asks…
What can I plant in a shady area to repel mosquitoes?
What plants can I put around the perimeter of our patio to repel mosquitoes? We live in the mid-Atlantic. The patio and surrounding area are covered in shade from a dense canopy of mulberry trees. I love the shade so I don’t want to trim the trees.
Suntan answers:
This is not a repellent but a trap (link below) that can be made with common supplies. It uses yeast to generate carbon dioxide, which attracts mosquitoes. Use it to lead mosquitoes away from guests (place the trap in dark corners).
There’s a commercial model that uses propane as the source for the production of carbon dioxide. Expensive, I think.

Suntan answers:
You can buy a big table umbrella at lower price so that could spend more on a nice couch. This is one of a good place to buy patio umbrellas at reasonable price, and you can pay on 10% off discount if you offer the coupon code “for10″ at check out.

Donald asks…
Looking for replacement cushions and canopy for an outdoor 3 seat swing purchased at Wal-mart?
Swing frame in green with scallops at top cross bar, has a canopy main color is tan with flaps all the way around with 1 inch wide maroon stripe and thin green stripe on either side of maroon stripe. Has arm pillows that are same as canopy and velcro holds them in place on arm frame. Seat cushions are tan in color with maroon flowers on vines all over it. Has some green in design here and there. Cushions have flaps that hang over the front of the swing where you sit. Cushions also has a piece of tan material between seat and back cushion that attaches the two. Swing has two wheels on one end and can be picked up by a handle and moved easily on a porch or patio.
Suntan answers:
None are made.
Time for a seamstress. I made mine, and it took me a day, and $130 in fabric.
William asks…
How to repair a canvas/metal canopy swing?
Anyone have any idea how to fix a canvas/metal lawn swing? It’s old, someone gave it to me about 5 years ago because she no longer wanted it (the canopy part was ripped off and lost during a heavy windstorm)…. I enjoyed it for awhile, but last year, the canvas (I think it’s canvas?) start to rip on the seat, and has now ripped completely.
I’m in between – fix it, or toss it?
I want to fix it, and would HATE to toss it…
Any ideas how to fix it? Or, use the swing frame, to put a new material on it….. What sort of material would work? Any advice?
The swing is sorta like this: https://www.allamericanpool-patio.com/xcart/files/t_371.jpg
But not exactly like it.. Just to give you an idea.
Anyone, anything? =)
Suntan answers:
I have a similar swing and it did the same thing. Take the dimensions of your seat cushion. Go to your local fabric store like Jo-Ann’s and in at the back they have outdoor fabrics, ask about the right thread to use also. Witha sewing machine or by hand just a few straight seams and you can make like a new pillowcase. I did this and it looks great. Make to a little long and just tuck the end under the seat. If you’re feeling real handy and have the canopy frame you can make a new canopy too. Its just a big rectangle and some tie to the frame. You dont have to cut out the scallps or even edge it. The outdoor fabric won’t fray. Good Luck.
