How do I kill unwanted trees?
Comments (5)The "organic" way to eliminate a tree stump is as follows: First, cut the stump off at ground level. This may require digging down around the stump to get clearance for your saw. Second, go to an established forest, where rotting wood has accumulated. NOT a tree farm. Dig up a bucket full of forest loam, preferrably from under a rotting tree trunk. This loam contains wood eating microbes, bacteria and fungi that live off dead wood. Take an axe, and chop into the top of the stump a few dozen times. This exposes more surface area for the microbes. Cover the stump with the forest loam. Water carefully, don't wash away the dirt. Keep moist. After a year, the stump should have rotted away. Even four inch thick tree limbs left touching the ground will be half-rotted in a year's time. I cleared my fenceline a few years ago and left the wood lying there when I got tired of chopping. A year later, I tried to pick up the 4 inch thick tree limb to drag it out of my way and it snapped like a dry twig....See MoreToni what kind of dishsoap do you use in your fish emulsion spray
Comments (12)Sarah, didn't mean to sound hasty, but I was about to turn off the puter, when I noticed your thread. I was using a dishsoap with Citrus. One of the ingredients is true citrus, so they say. LOL. Used it for years, now it's like the brand is extinct. Can't find it anywhere. Ajax has a citrus scented dishsoap which is what I now add to the mixture. Acually any dish soap will work, just steer clear of Dawn. You poor thing..all those bugs!! What the heck happened? Sarah, it's strange, beneficial insects are dying/dead while the bad guys are flying around..that doesn't make sense? Why in the world do people use so many chemicals??? By doing so, they're killing off the good guys. Not to mention, spraying something that most likely causes cancer. I feel bad for people who don't use chemicals, yet because of their neighbors, have to breath in that crap. Sarah, the mix I use will kill mites and scale, but it won't touch whitefly..Before your plants are totally infested, purchase Yellow Sticky Traps..they work fantastic, and no chemicals. They're sold on Ebay and a place called Gardens Alive. Cost is more reasonable on Ebay. In Ebay's search window type in yellow sticky traps. Traps come with a little, metal holder. Traps are attached to these holders. Stick holder in soil. You'd be amazed how many whitefly they capture. About 3 or 4 yrs ago, I had the same problem..Whitefly. I found the source, a hardy Hydragea..95% of my plants were whitefly infested. Some plants worse than others, especially Hibiscus, citrus and gardenias. I bought the traps, placed one trap among a group of plants. Each trap captured hundreds of whitefly days later. That was it, they died. So, if you have whitefly, and want to use natural, non-chemical 'help,' buy the traps, ASAP. Keep us posted, Sarah and Good luck, Toni...See MoreDo you have a good Fish & Chips batter recipe that uses beer?
Comments (22)May : I just found this in Micro Soft Works, thought I deleted it, when I did the Original recipe for Fish Puffs , above ^. I'll be making them for Dinner so I'll Post Photo's there. Flounder Puffs A friend and I went fishing often, in Delaware Bay. When we returned to our homes, we cooked the fish. Then we would meet and test each others cooked fish and argue about, which was better. One day we caught a lot of Flounder. I decided to make a batter, dip the pieces ( about the size of a matchbook ) and fry them. I seasoned the batter heavy; for taste, because it dissipates a little. When my fishing buddy tasted them , he declared me the winner. Then he tried it and we are still arguing about who makes the best. Thought I'd share this simple recipe with you. All I did was beat an egg,( or as many as you need) add Garlic & Onion powder. A pinch of Old Bay, dry parsley, salt and pepper. Add enough flour to make a batter (not too thin). Dry the flounder pieces on a paper towel, Sprinkle with Cornstarch & shake. Dip them in the batter, then into a heated frying pan, with your favorite oil. They Puff up a lot. Turn them out onto a paper towel, when cooked. You can cook one piece and taste it. Add more spices if needed. A platter full will disappear in no time !!! Lou...See MoreWhat would you do? Unwanted whitehaus farmhouse sink w/ drainboar
Comments (23)thanks everyone for the advice! I think we are going to start w/ craigslist. I think we may list it in the philly craigslist too in addition to our local one and then hope people are willing to make the drive from philly to get it if they want it. If that doesn't work, then we may think about the ebay thing w/ the local pickup but joyjoy made a good point about allowing local pickup and then not having any proof for ebay, so I am thinking we'll probably keep it if we can't sell it on craigslist. leave the decision up to fate :) At least this is a good cautionary tale- don't buy non-returnable items EVER unless you've seen them in person!...See Moresleeplessinftwayne
