the locking blade connectors are used from the factory on any quick-disconnect connection to hold the wire in the connector so they won't pull or work out. they have a thin piece of metal you have to unsnap to slide the terminal out of the multi-quick disconnect connectors. A jewelers screwdriver, scribe or any thin bladed screwdriver works, you slide down one side of terminal and unclip the lock and slide the terminal out, it just snaps back in when you install it. I have a bunch of crimp terminals Male and female but they don't have the lock feature. they will probably work, I plan on unlocking the new engine harness terminal and sliding it in the frame harness connection providing they are the same size. My tractor in 12 years old and they maybe using a different type of terminal end now days. thanks for the link and information. rc

I have already solved the problem. I stopped adding scraps and I got a huge amount of coffee grounds, and I mixed it all in and turned everything. Now I check the bin and there is no ants. It breaks my heart to stop composting food, but the mice could be baby rats. Alfalfa was a huge part of my problem. I had EB Stone brand starter fertilizer made of Alfalfa in a box, and the rats got into the basement and found it. The ripped open the box and ate it, and then they began to rip up other things looking for food. I am lucky that they can't eat coffee grounds and they are free so I will continue to work with just wood and coffee ground and not use anything edible for ants or rats, and without fruit peelings the fruit flies are also gone. We had a outbreak near me, became I saw some government issue fruit fly traps. The rats can flatten themselves and fit in tiny space like the slates in the earth machine and ants can fit in no matter what.

Marial1214 you wrote: I already tied garden twine at 2 levels. They already passed the first level of twine and didnt attach on to it (snip) Yes I can see the two levels you have tied around the support. What I meant was feeding the twine around the peas. I scoop up the peas with my arm and gently lift and hold them against the support on one side, then feed the twine around them with the other hand. Whilst holding the twine in place, I then go round to do the next arm full. This is much easier if one person does the scooping/lifting and the other does the twine and tying off. Depending on how many peas you have planted (and yours looks quite densely planted), there is a smaller or larger 'bulge' of peas around the support. They will not grow neatly inside the support and stay inside the support. Also they are nearly as wide at the top as they are at the bottom, so with a support that is teepee shaped, the top vegetation will definitely bulge and not grow inside the teepee. If you squeezed the plants to fit, you would squash them at the top. The only way is to feed the twine around the peas, then fix the twine to the support. Left to their own devices, peas would just sprawl on the ground. Flora's advice to give them sticks as well as teepees certainly helps getting them started upright, rather than sprawling. You could also criss-cross twine diagonally between the legs of the support to coax them into an upright start that way. Good luck

Some doves, well, the Eurasian collard doves specifically, are really no better than pigeons in my opinion. The come swooping in on my feeders in groups of a dozen or more, gobbling down everything they can get their beaks on. The sound they make is atrocious, their large size scares away the smaller songbirds, and to top if off, they are an introduced bird. To be honest, I can't really find any redeeming qualities about them. Well, there is one. They happen to be the prime target of my sharp-shinned friend, much to my delight. The mourning doves on the other hand are a welcome, if much less abundant, visitor.
