Very Dissappointed in Lesco Metro Seed Mix (pic)
Comments (2)Doubt it came in the seed. Go round up a small section of lawn. DO NOT plant any seed. Rough up the surface, fertilize and water. Bet something comes up and completely covers the rounded up area....See MoreDissappointed cant find mollases, alfalfa, etc.
Comments (15)We have covered what it does to lawns in the form of fertilizers but does it work on ants? Is cornmeal an ant repeller? I know that alfalfa pellets are a fert high in N but is that an ant repeller? Is it the protiens, the carbons, sugars...? What is the element that repells the ants? I'm desperate! They are getting into my home. I know I can controll them if I can just discourage them from my lawn and garden. I know that many out there would discourage getting rid of ants because they can be beneficial in the garden. In my case, they are building gigantic ugly mounds, disturbing my plants by building colonies within their root systems, sucking the life from unopened flower buds and leaves, and entering my home, contaminating the dog food and other tough to seal food. We've had to spend nearly $100 on food containers for the dog food alone. I would rather spend $100 on getting them out of my yard. Can someone please comment on the pest deterant side of molasses or any other possible spreadable ingredient? Thank you...from a desperate housewife... :-P Kristiina...See MoreDissappointed with my Kosher Dills
Comments (33)Let the cucumbers ferment until evenly colored (olive green) or evenly translucent throughout. It may take longer than the 11 days. It depends upon the temp. at which they ferment. Never cut back on the salt when fermenting, it is needed to cause fermentation. If you don't use the whole amount of salt they won't ferment, but spoil instead. This is now the more often recommended recipe for fermenting. Dill Pickles Use the following quantities for each gallon capcity of your container. 4 lbs of 4-inch pickling cucumbers 2 tbsp dill seed or 4 to 5 heads fresh or dry dill weed 1/2 cup salt 1/4 cup vinegar (5 percent) 8 cups water and one or more of the following ingredients: 2 cloves garlic (optional) 2 dried red peppers (optional) 2 tsp whole mixed pickling spices (optional) Procedure: Wash cucumbers. Cut 1/16-inch slice off blossom end and discard. Leave 1/4-inch of stem attached. Place half of dill and spices on bottom of a clean, suitable container. For more information on containers see "Suitable Containers, Covers, and Weights for Fermenting Food," . Add cucumbers, remaining dill, and spices. Dissolve salt in vinegar and water and pour over cucumbers. Add suitable cover and weight. Store where temperature is between 70ºF and 75ºF for about 3 to 4 weeks while fermenting. Temperatures of 55º to 65ºF are acceptable, but the fermentation will take 5 to 6 weeks. Avoid temperatures above 80ºF, or pickles will become too soft during fermentation. Fermenting pickles cure slowly. Check the container several times a week and promptly remove surface scum or mold. Caution: If the pickles become soft, slimy, or develop a disagreeable odor, discard them. Fully fermented pickles may be stored in the original container for about 4 to 6 months, provided they are refrigerated and surface scum and molds are removed regularly. Canning fully fermented pickles is a better way to store them. To can them, pour the brine into a pan, heat slowly to a boil, and simmer 5 minutes. Filter brine through paper coffee filters to reduce cloudiness, if desired. Fill jar with pickles and hot brine, leaving 1/2-inch headspace. Adjust lids and process pints 10 min. quarts 15 min. in a boiling water bath canner....See MoreBlack specks in Kohler Caxton sink? Please help.
Comments (5)Hi Revka, We ordered two K-2210 Kohler Caxton sinks in almond for the planned remodel of our master bath. Is your sink a color or is it white? We've always liked using Kohler fixtures in our homes due to their excellent quality and have never heard of these black specs. We've had many different colors over the years from a Champagne pink sink in our guest bath to a Mexican sand wet-bar sink. I'm wondering how that could happen during manufacturing since they're made of vitreous china. I'm thinking that their quality control must be slipping to ship it without checking. I hope they not only replace your sink but also refund your reinstallation cost. Goldie...See Moremsjean
