Well poo; horse poo that is....
Comments (13)I think the writer is full of that poop herself. She is perpetuating a common myth without getting out there and gaining her own personal observations from doing her own research. I have been using horse manure for years without the problems that is claimed in the article, I could post many, many pictures of excellent produce from my garden and my worm population has been excellent up until the last drought this past summer which took it's toll on them. However, they are bouncing back now. This following statement is crap too: "Another common problem with horse manure use is that, over time, crops often start showing signs of stunting or slowed growth. Soil tests can explain why. Adding horse manure to garden soil over many years can result in the buildup of toxic levels of magnesium. Because horses have an incomplete digestion system, sometimes large nutrient residues end up in the soil. Non-water-soluble residues such as minerals can be especially troublesome, in part because symptoms of nutrient excess can mimic symptoms of nutrient deficiency. " I just got the results back from two soil tests by a reputable lab and posted the results in another thread on here for all to see. One of them shows the magnesium level as just a bit low and the other one shows it to be medium. Many who have seen some of the many pictures that I have posted would probably agree that I do not have any problems with stunted plants or produce. She probably got her paycheck for the week so all is well, but she should be regarded as a fiction writer. If she is supposed to have credentials as some sort of an expert or knowledgable person, they would be suspect to me. That is my personal opinions, experiences and observations.

Comments (14)Lymphocytic choriomeningitis (LCM). This is a virus spread by the common house mouse. The virus can infect the linings of the brain and spinal cord. It's a serious disease, although many people get only mild infections. Mice shed the virus in their urine, saliva, and feces. People get infected by eating contaminated food or by inhaling aerosolized mouse urine or feces. LCM has two phases. The first lasts about a week and begins with fever, loss of appetite, head and muscle aches, nausea, and/or vomiting. There may be other symptoms as well. The second phase happens just as the first one gets better. It may begin with symptoms of meningitis: fever, headache, and stiff neck. It may also begin with symptoms of encephalitis: sleepiness, confusion, and movement problems. There's no cure, but most people recover completely with supportive treatment. However, some people are left with permanent nerve or brain damage. About 1% of people with LCM die....See MoreUnder the cabinet mouse holes. please help
Comments (5)I had mouse holes under the sink- little jerks were squeezing in the smallest space where the pipes came in. and also the water line to the fridge- you name it- I went around the house with a can of great stuff like a woman on a mission. found over 20 places- and sealed them ALL up. Then, one day- 3 more mice. They had gotten in from under the trailer, through the oven plug. Pulled out oven, sealed that hole, and problem was solved. We only had to stay there a few months- but I learned that the great stuff really works. just find every nook and cranny you can, especially on the inside. I read that the diameter of a pencil is large enough to fit through. Also, steel wool. they won't chew through it....See MoreDid I do a design boo boo? Is my backsplash going to look poo poo
Comments (18)Check the instructions that came with the tile for information about grout. The color of the grout can change the appearance of glass tiles in "interesting" ways. Most transparent glass wants bright white grout so that the color stays true. Yes, get over the stove. And don't ignore the plain little ladies in the aisles at Bloomies!! They're often the ones who bought IBM and Xerox with their wedding money and cashed out when they started planning retirement (i.e., at the top of the market). They are rolling in it. Just are in a habit of thrift and modesty, so don't have "JUICY" written on their rear ends and the only jewelry they wear are their engagement rings. Remember, the KitchenAid's other car is a Rolls Royce (though, come to think of it, I know of one guy at least who'd rather drive his Toyota than his Rolls). The part that worries me is the "sort of". When the poor old dear gets beyond the age of even volunteer work you can decide whether to replace her with something flashy. Right now you can get very fancy looking (and colored) Bertazzonis. Lacanche even makes a range less than 30" (over 27") if you'd prefer French to Italian. Plus, you can get plenty of standard manufacturer "pro" styled ranges in 30", not to mention Wolf and Viking. Besides all the standard home ranges. You have just as much choice as anyone else and can get just as blingy as you can stand....See Moregraywings123
