Anyone ever use Plant Tone?
Comments (10)I use Plant-tone too. I also use a lot of composted horse manure. I did grow some tomato plants using both, or just Tomato-tone, and the tomato plants do grow better with both! (Tomato-tone just has a little less Nitrogen than Plant-tone) ajpa, my Lowe's had a closeout price on HUGE bags of Holly-tone, so I have been using it and adding some woodstove ashes to it to make it more neutral. I did not approach it scientifically at all, I just use "some." If you have clay soil, the pH change will occur more rapidly, but I have sandy soil and I probably won't see any pH change for awhile (or ever) if I'm not doing it right. I'm not an experienced rose-grower, so checking with the rose forum about this is a good idea, in case roses are sensitive to pH changes....See MoreHas anyone here ever heard of the 'Egg rooting method'?
Comments (26)Bob Walsh covers Mimi's egg-rooting method in his book on "How to grow plumeria-frangipani anytime anywhere", btw. Still miss the "Aloha Plumeria" forum though...and Mimi, too. I hope she's happy in her life, and stress-free. I'm currently rooting a bonus plumeria with an egg, and an Oahu Star cutting w/o one, -since I only had one egg available when potting them up. The bonus cutting is showing tip changes on it, already, but I can't consider this a fair test, as the Oahu Star cutting was considerably thicker than the mystery (gift) cutting was, when I rec'd them. To do a fair comparative test, I think I'd have to use 2 cuttings from the same source and root them the same way, (except for placing an egg under only one of them)....See MoreAnyone ever use Soft Paws for your cat?
Comments (12)I've used them on two cats. They weren't too bad to put on, but having a helper to hold the cat for you is helpful. Here is how I put them on: 1. Have helper hold the cat while you trim the nails. 2. Have the helper hold and pet the cat to keep it calm while you prepare the Soft Paws by putting the super glue in 5 of the caps. Be careful not to over fill the caps or you will glue the cap to the cat's skin. (Having them already glue-filled makes it easy to get them on the cat quickly.) 3. Put the Soft Paws on one of the cat's paws. 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 until all the paws are covered. The cats don't like them, at first. So, the caps don't last as long because the cat will work on pulling them off. You have to check them once a week or so and replace the missing caps. After a month or two, the caps will start lasting longer because the cat will leave them only to come off naturally. The caps are expensive, but they do work. Good luck with which ever method you choose....See MoreAnyone ever used hydrogen peroxide to remove old blood stains?
Comments (24)Hydrogen peroxide works on fairly fresh stains but you still need to test on an inconspicuous area. DH has a beautiful white terry cloth robe that the kids gave him for father's day and he managed to get some blood on it. He used hydrogen peroxide which took out the blood stain but it also yellowed the robe. I've never had that happen before. The robe was 100% cotton and the label tag said not to use a chlorine bleach. I've had positive experiences with Clorox totally Spotless Feminine Stain Remover. I hate the name and wrote them a letter complaining about it but the product does work. According to the label it contains Hydrogen Peroxide, Nonionic Surfactant. I have no idea why it should work any better that plain hydrogen peroxide but it has even removed some older blood stains....See More- 11 years ago
