beachlily, Pat did warn against using too high a concentration for foliar spray. He said it will turn the foliage white and shortly afterward it will die. Thanks lalalandwi for the article, I had not seen it before. From the article, I think K-Phite would be better used against rot. Nancy does use Nickel Plus, and it is being touted as a very good rust preventative, especially when used with a systemic fungicide. Dan Trimmer recently spoke to our club and he is using Nickel Plus in combination with Cabrio EG. Then rotating with Bayleton 50 and Nickel Plus. He said he is able to reduce his spraying to monthly, even during rust season and it is very effective. I have ordered some Nickel Plus. I currently use Cabrio EG and rotate Bayleton 50, each time mixed with a water conditioner and Contact fungicide. I looked up Clevis. Myclobutanil (Eagle), is the systemic fungicide in Clevis. Myclobutanil has not proved very effective against daylily rust. However, the contact in this mixture, mancozeb with zinc is a very good contact fungicide. It's also a point of argument as to whether the products touted to prevent disease by improving immune systems are effective against daylily rust. Rust is a parasite, not a disease and prefers vigorous, growing plants to feed on. I think that may be why it is most active during the high growth periods of daylilies. Ed

Yes. It happened to me. I never had acne as a teen but got it when I was in my late forties and going through menopause. I took a friends advice and started using ProActive and it cleared things up for me. But, I am sure you could used any good brand acne treatment. I have heard that Murad has a good acne control product set also. Check the internet an ask around. I happen to be one of those indiviuals who got acne when I tried using the birth control pills in my late twenties. Amazingly they market BC pills as a CURE for acne and some women have said that BC pills worked for them to control acne as teens. It all depends on your particular body chemistry and what works for you. I have noticed that ProActive has recently started using commercials featuring older women who experienced adult onset acne. I still don't know what to do about all the facial hair I have developed. Right now I bought an electric razor and run it all over my face to get rid of the 'fuzz' and then pluck the course chin hairs and straglers.

I've been buying Shea Butter from this e-tailer since 2003. Her fragrances are TO DIE for! The scent list is on the left hand side of the screen, second from the bottom. I suggest printing it off to read more thoroughly because she has a LOT of scents. Babe Cakes Body Icing is 55% Shea Butter, but she also offers 100% Shea Butter and a couple of other products with Shea in them. She mixes your order from scratch and she ships from Canada so turnaround time can be about 2 weeks, but it is definitely worth the wait. I hope you love it as much as I do.

I have many allergies to cleaners. I went to a home party and was shown the Norwex products. For someone accustomed to cleaning with vinigar, this was a very welcome change! Since I know the representative personally, she privately gave me one of her cloths (not a party thing, or a company thing, just a friend giving a friend a gift). The next day I went about cleaning with my cloth and water only! I have to say, I was totally amazed at the things this cloth picked up!! Dirty kitchen greasy dust....wiped off with a cloth and water!!! Bathroom mirrors and kitchen windows...then I dusted everything!!! I also have dust allergies, but the cloth grabbed everything and I didn't get stuffed up or get a headache! I have to admit, I'm sold!!!! People say how the cloth will smell if it's not washed. Well, the microfibres are 1/100 of a human hair. It picks up 99% of all bacteria, of course it will smell if it's not washed. The silver in the cloth will not directly kill the bacteria. How it works is by making an environment that's impossible for bacteria to live. The existing bacteria in the cloth will die in a 24 hour period. So wash the cloth when you're done, and by the next day they'll be no bacteria in the cloth. You can boil it if you want to use it sooner. But a regular wash does not completely kill bacteria in any cloth. Anyway, despite any controversy, I tried it for myself and found it worked. So I don't need people selling me on it or trying to convince me otherwise. I am relieved to find a non-chemical way to clean that won't leave my house smelling like vinigar!!! :)
