Yet another urine thread
Comments (5)"is urine a good natural thatch remover?" Thatch is usually caused by a combination of over fertilizing, shallow watering and not having good soil biology to decompose the thatch. If you've got thatch, you may need to core aerate to punch through the thatch layer (this also brings some soil up to the thatch layer). Then water deeply and infrequently. Mulch mow.

Comments (4)Disclaimer: I do not know anything about this except what I've just read. A week or two ago, someone posted a link to this info about nutrients: http://fivepointgardens.com/nutrientinfo.html Because of that, I decided to look for info about boron problems. Your plants' symptoms seem to match a surplus of boron, according to this article: http://www.agnet.org/library/bc/51008/ Here's another: http://books.google.com/books?id=caBPEVuvt5cC&pg=PA64&lpg=PA64&dq=%22excess+boron%22+tomato&source=bl&ots=OoY62hL-VH&sig=ja78ASO1_xMo9OsSdDIBcAKscok&hl=en&ei=8zo3SrJSn7G3B4PgveQM&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=3 Apparently adding phosphorus can help: http://www.sciencedirect.com/science?_ob=ArticleURL&_udi=B6TC3-4VT1C82-1&_user=10&_rdoc=1&_fmt=&_orig=search&_sort=d&view=c&_acct=C000050221&_version=1&_urlVersion=0amp;_userid=10&md5=790a657c392e0d7af4ce1a952e3d9331 And another article said that flushing with low-boron water can help (I didn't copy that link). I found these with searches like "excess boron" tomato. Maybe also simply "excess boron."...See MoreYet Another Spaghetti Sauce Thread ...
Comments (38)Lou, Yup, that's it. On spaghetti sauce cooking day grandma's menu was: BREAKFAST=eggs poached in sauce LUNCH=when all the guys came home for lunch, DGM scooped out enough sauce to make a pot of pasta e fagioli DINNER=spaghetti with sauce and various meats baked in sauce SUNDAY=lasagna made with leftover sauce I never knew it to vary from this routine and I pretty much use the same schedule--except the eggs (I don't do eggs!). The sauce was an all day production....See MoreAnother Water Softener Thread...
Comments (57)....info I got back from OPWC when asked which systems I was looking at.  Hi.....! Thanks for contacting the Ohio Pure Water Company...! I prefer the Fleck 2510 SXT valve over the 7000SXT, as we have had better results with the 2510 model, and I believe it is the better, of the two controls. The 2510 model is also easier to work on, than the 7000 model. Plz Note that all our Residential Softener units come are complete units including, Top Baskets, Fleck Stainless Steel Bypasses, larger 15x17x36" or 18x33" Brine Tanks on the 64000 gr size softener....... and the 18x40" Brine tank on the 80,000 gr softener. All Brine Tanks include Salt Grids in the bottom of the tank and the Fleck 2310 Safety Float Assembly, too. 1.)
