Do kink-free hoses really exist?
Comments (51)I don't have a problem with mine and my water pressure is pretty good on it too. There's several types and sizes. Get the thicker type and the 5/8in inside diameter. Then get a male and female ends like these: Male hose end Female hose end It's better if you also connect a swivel neck like this one from Amazon and attach it with the female end to the faucet: Swivel hose gooseneck and if you want to extend your hose in the future, it's relatively easy. Just get one of these barbed couplings and clamp the hoses together: barbed hose coupling Make sure you use teflon tape on all threaded connections to prevent any leaks. this is essentially my setup here, but I have a coupling valve key connected on mine instead of the female hose end. I installed coupling valves (It's that valve inside that black hole) all over my yard for quick access to water without having a faucet near by. My hose is also isn't very long (only 20ft) easy to carry and connect at each spot of the yard. This way I don't have to drag a 50ft-75ft hose and try to get around obstacles around the yard....See MoreIntoductions all the way 'round!
Comments (150)Sharon (canarybird), my inlaws met on Majorca. Ironically neither of them is from Spain. LOL She was a Dutch stewardess with KLM and he was an American physician traveling around Europe. So romantic (gagging sounds). LOL I have been here on and off for 8 1/2 years now! I think I was first directed here from a search about philodendrons, hence my user name. Then I slowly meandered to the cooking forum. I check in from time to time - something got me thinking about the group yesterday and I decided to log on. :) I have three wonderful children, ages nearly 6 (in two days!), 3, and 8 months. I am married to a teacher of economics and history and we live on the campus of a boys' boarding school in New York state, not that far from Stacy3. In my spare time LOL I love to sew, read, cook, and blog. I have a private blog for friends and family to keep up with the kids, and it's been a blast to keep it up in various forms since David was a mere tot. I have another blog that talks mostly about motherhood, childbirth and pregnancy called The Deranged Housewife, of which our very own Netla was gracious enough to "follow," putting me on the map that is Google Search. (Thank you, Netla!) (A native of Iceland, she has a wonderful blog with photos too, that I often look at ...just a quick plug there...LOL) I am a freelance writer/editor/sort of graphic designer and work from home when I can get assignments. Most of my work now is volunteering my graphic design "skills" (I use that term lightly sometimes LOL) for my son's school. I enjoy cooking not so much for the meal preparation but I love feeding people. I consider it such a wonderful blessing to have family or guests around my table to cook for. I overheard a woman at the store the other day talking about how she's going on a Mexican vacation over Christmas and is excited to not have to cook. I thought, you can keep your vacation because I'd rather cook for my friends and family! And now I must stop blathering on in order to prevent my infant son from eating the Persian rug...excuse me....See MoreEver wondered about Moon Valley Nursery?
Comments (8)Well, thanks for posting this. We are going to go to the one in Murietta soon to find a fast growing shade tree with non-invasive roots. It will cost more to remove the current tree than the replacement tree, but the tree that is there is the messiest tree on earth. It's a Silky Oak from Australia and there is not one season where it's not dropping something on our patio. Hubby likes it because it shades the house but it's ruining the septic system. Has to go. I called and was told to speak with a certain man there and to bring a photo of the existing tree and location. It won't be easy for them to plant a tree either. We are figuring $1500 to remove and maybe $900 for the replacement. Nice to know negotiations are possible. Commission. Hmmmmmm...See Morepulling weeds?
Comments (15)I usually just pull the weeds by hand and that works well if I am getting them while they are young. If they are older and I didn't seem them lurking there in the midst of some desirable plants, sometimes I'll use a transplanting trowel to dig them out----a transplanting trowel is like a regular trowel only a lot more narrow so you can use it in between desirable plants without disturbing their roots so much. I also have a hand-hoe, an earth fork and a scuffle hoe. I vary what I use depending on the situation----the right tool for a small weed in sandy loam may not be the right tool for Johnson grass or bermuda grass in dry clay, for example. I also have a hand-tool sized half-moon hoe (with a 12" handle, not a longer full-sized 4' or 5' handle) that I can use to slice off tough weeds just below the soil surface. It is really sharp and I have to be careful with it or I'll slice off plants I didn't intend to remove but it is great for slicing off tree saplings that pop up from nuts buried by the squirrels. I second Moni's suggestion to go slow and take your time. I just weed a portion of the garden every day, in what seems like endless rounds of weeding. Trying to do too much wears me out and makes my hands hurt all night and even the next day. Most years I weed early and often and then mulch and don't have a huge weed problem later on in the gardening year. This year the excess rainfall has made the mulch decompose really fast and it has largely kept me out of the garden, so I feel like the weeds are winning the battle at this point, but I intend to win the war.....eventually....See Morejudy_b
