How do I do fall prep for flowers beds covered in river rock
Comments (3)Hi transplant, I think you may be confusing mulch and compost. Mulch is a substance, organic or inorganic, that lies on top of the soil and whose main purposes are to regulate the soil temp, preserve moisture and help prevent weed growth. In your case, the rocks are your mulch. As far as feeding your plants, I'm just going to speak in broad generalizations here. Many xeriscape plants don't like rich soils or a lot of fertilizer; however a light feeding of most of them once a year is usually a good thing. Don't use a fertilizer high in nitrogen at this time of the year - nitrogen stimulates green growth. I use a liquid, organic formula that can be either sprayed on foliage or poured onto the soil. This works well for rock mulched beds. Again, this is just a generalization and you might want to do some research about the individual needs of your plants. Hope this helps....See MoreHow to clean a decorative rusty corroded metal fish!
Comments (3)thanks, hook and brickeyee.... Brickeyee, tell me more....when i bought the metal fish art, I just hung it. Now, what can I do with this conversion coating? And where do i get it? Auto supply? I think the fish is pretty rusty and corroded, and quite frankly, I don't care whether I paint it or keep it natural metal, it looks fine whatever it is as a patio piece. I guess...what would prolong it's life the longest if I don't care whether it is a painted fish or a bare metal one. And of equal importance, I do not want to sink a ton of $$$ into the fish...I'm looking for a way to keep it happy on the porch without it costing me an arm and a leg. I appreciate it for the art, but there is no emotional attachment. The metal as the original artist has intended is now corroded, but it is not a Picasso!!! I can do whatever I care to.......See MoreLG Electric oven has no self clean option - so how do I clean it?
Comments (18)I bought one of these by mistake, not getting information from the Home Depot representative when I asked what, if anything, was different about this model from another that would be available. Since I have NEVER owned an oven that is not self-clean, I assumed that "Easy Clean" was just a gimmicky euphemism for "Self Clean!" Yes, I was at fault for not investigating further, but for me it would be like asking if a car was equipped with wiper blades! I am so upset by this, but glad to hear of some possible solutions to the situation, as I find the so called "Easy Clean" by LG totally useless!...See MoreHow to clean/brighten river rock fireplace
Comments (13)I thought about using this product, but my brick cleaned nicely using TSP and a scrub brush and my fireplace is huge - this would have cost a fortune to do a 10' wide floor to ceiling space. For your river rock it may work beautifully. https://www.amazon.com/CHIMNEYRX-Paint-Fireplace-Cleaner-Gallon/dp/B00CFLE2UQ/ref=asc_df_B00CFLE2UQ/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=194026055947&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=7929818841652711179&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=1025011&hvtargid=pla-334814716994&psc=1...See Morepontyrogof
