My Pond Is a Jungle Now, Want to Clear Out
Comments (9)Hi In my own experience the only thing that will stop water plants is cold . Even that just slows them down. Now is the best time to rearrange your plants . The heat is a plus . I always recommend growing "Everything in pots and even in large pools just two or three varieties. Of course the advantage is that all that growth means they are pulling all kinds of stuff out of the water. I like floaters because they are so easy to harvest and make great mulch for terrestrial plants .No chance of them growing without a source of moisture. Sandy You have my sympathy lol Ever so often I have that problem. I keep terrests in pots around the edge of my above ground and the about twice a year the coons knock them in lol. One solution I've found is to put rocks in the bottom of the planters making them heavier . gary...See MoreI'm throwing out so much out-of-date pantry stuff!!
Comments (28)Good for you for getting your stock organized. I actually love my small pantry and I like to keep it organized. I do need to get into the home canned jars and see if any of them need to be tossed. I stock up to like Nicole and I am a budget, thrifty shopper. Cathy from Idaho mentioned couponing a few days back and I decided to drag out my coupon box and start using it again. I did a little research and found out how to really do the coupon thing to your advantage. Oh and I saw that couponing show.....how sad that those people do that....How can anyone use 300 toothbrushes or like you said soda......I've had soda taste bad in just a matter of a few months.....The point is to buy exactly what you know you will use and stock up. I love having a stash and I always have paper products and cleaning supplies as well as food...Our Albertson's has great buys of meat for loss leaders and I take advantage............See MoreStuff coming out of the grain?!
Comments (6)An update. I took a cloth and mineral spirits and carefully rubbed on this stuff. I took care not to get it all over the place and am glad I did. The funny drop-like globs are still there, but the finish did cloud a little. Probably only noticeable to me. I'm not worried about that, because I'm certain it's something I can fix. After the MS evaporated, I took a credit card and tried going over the smooth, non-grainy parts again to see if these would lift up. But no... still not going anywhere! "stain bleedback." I'll have to look this up. Funny how it's only under where the cardboard has been. I'd almost have said it was cardboard, but that's not the case. Thanks for the ideas, guys....See MoreNectarine oozing clear stuff - SoCal
Comments (6)I don't recommend neem oil, because it doesn't work that well, and people that promote its use still lose trees to borers. Once the borer is inside the tree, you either have to dig them out or spray with a systemic (merit) in order to kill them. No other spray can reach them. In order to prevent borers, you must kill the adults during the height of their mating activity. That's when they lay their eggs on your trees, and neem oil is not an insecticide, it's a sufficant. The adult is a flying insect, and it isn't going to sit still, while you try to suffocate it. A mite will, but a flying insect will not. You need a true insecticide with staying power in order to do the job....See Moreshadowgarden
