Getting Discouraged- Need Your Best Tips
Comments (29)""""I have to share my scary episode with using fish emulsion a couple of years ago. While planting some flower bulbs I decided to add some fish emulsion to the bottom of the planting hole to feed my bulbs and give the roots a good start. The next day I was showing the area to my young grandson and something had dug the bulbs up and thrown them out of the hole! We thought it was a territorial squirrel until we noticed the bear footprints all around the area! The prints also solved the mystery of what dug up and stole the fish bones and parts that I had buried in the garden after reading about the indians burying the fish bones to feed the soil! Needless to say I don't use fish emulsion now! Thanks again for the encouragement and tips, Betty""""""" ------- hi. I'm new to this thread and spotted this. Are you using fresh fish parts? left over after cleaning? that's what it sounds like. What the posters are referring to is a product that you buy, called Fish Emulsion. You dilute it and then apply as a spray or dunk. It's quit safe and not smelly. I'm very impressed with it. There are several brands. Betty if you are using fish parts, please consider the danger.. Years and years ago, a friend of my father did the very same thing. Later, when she was gardening (barefoot!) she stepped on one of these undiscomposed bones and she died.. jackjaw. (don't know how to spell the t...word. lol) Not to mention animals. Boy, if I did that i would have a yard full of squirrels and skunks. Now, on the bright side. I have Midwestern black soil. But it is of the wet 'puddy' variety, that morphs to brick when dry. I've been working this soil doing most of the suggestions that the board have mentioned. They all work. Only thing,it does take time.. I'm five years into it and just now I'm seeing real benefits! You'll get there! best wishes Sue...See MoreHow did you choose your username?
Comments (120)Although I'm kind of a rare poster, I'm here all day, every day. I came by this wonderful forum by way of Southern Living boards and someone I remember as Hanart....I think maybe for her kitties? I'm not sure...but I was so SO glad she told me about this forum!! I'm "Gigi" to my grandbabies....and there were 7....well, now we're expecting #9! Guess that's what happens when you have 5 children and they are all close in age...gee whiz, I'm "only" 56 years old! AND two of the kids aren't even married yet.....oh, my. Christmas is pretty expensive...and loads of fun! If I could figure out the whole picture thing, you all would hear a LOT from me...oh, my real name is Kathy and I live in the Texas Panhandle. Lynn, I always think of you in NM as we frequently visit Santa Fe...would love to have a second house there! This is a fun thread!...See MoreRead Me If You're New To GW Kitchens!

Comments (4)Buehl, please do! I was just trying to save something of use. I'd been checking the GW all night, turned my back for 15 minutes to watch the Health Care vote, and whammo! all the posts were gone. I kept refreshing, thinking, "This can't be!"...See MoreLost pages again??? Come on GW....get your act together!!
Comments (19)I've been a member of a big switch of a group that was much more tightly tied together than this one. About half the group didn't make the switch. Only a few stayed on both. Both groups thrived, but the cultures changed vastly. One thing that I think is good about this system is that we don't actually have an archive of really good threads. People generate new conversations when they come in and ask the same old question. That way they're brought into the fold, and made welcome. And new opinions are added. Example: cast iron vs. stainless steel sink. I've personally answered this at least a dozen times, each a little differently, targetted to the specific way the question was asked. If we just had sticky topics, or different topics with subthreads for sinks, we wouldn't have that kind of immediate welcome to the big ol' group. Instead, if a thread is good enough, someone will have it saved or something and provide a link, but people will still answer the question. I think it's also good that our social questions are mixed in with the Rixi tile questions and floorplan reviews. More modern software wouldn't do that. BUT...I wonder if the page losses happen when people make coding errors using HTML in their messages. I did that once where it affected how the preview page posted. I wonder if it's possible for something to get through and screw up the works?...See Morerobo (z6a)
