Do you use fertilizer and if so, how do you apply it?
Comments (1)An average loam soil will have 4000 pounds of nitrogen, 4000 pounds of phosphorous, and 20,000 pounds of potassium per acre in the top eight inches most of it in forms that are unavailable to plants. Many minerals present in the soil are most available to plants if the soil pH is neutral to very slightly acid. Soil in my region is neutral. We do not run fertilizer through the irrigation system. If your irrigation water is alkaline, you will have to adjust it to increase soil fertility. Your county ag agent is your best source for information. We use organic mulches and green manure crops for soil fertility. We do use bone meal at planting time on our large dahlia crop. But, hey, I think we need to use alfalfa like LizaLily because we want 100 blooms per day on our Chilsean's Pride dahlia. In correcting deficiencies of minor elements, it is important to realize that the difference between a therapeutic dose and a toxic dose is pretty small for some of the nutrients. Essentially, what we use here in the Great Lakes Region is probably going to have no bearing on what someone uses in your area. Talk to growers in your area and your ag agent. We have received valuable information from both....See MoreHow do you make up a king sized bed?
Comments (30)I'm also a two king pillows with cases and two king pillows with shams user. Everything is white cotton or white matelasse, with a solid yellow quilt folded across the bottom. Our walls are yellow and the bed is against the wall. We have no headboard or footboard. Kitty cat sleeps on the yellow quilt every night. I also relate to your disappointment! I literally cried when my bed was delivered and set up, and called my sister on the phone I was so beside myself! I thought it looked so big and awkward and awful. I concluded I'd made one big honkin' mistake, and couldn't imagine *how* I could make such a thing actually look attractive. A little over six years later now, and I regard our king-sized bed as one of the best purchases we've ever made! Within a few months of living with it and adjusting my eye to it, I loved it, both in terms of how it looked in the room and how it functioned as a wonderful, dreamy place to sleep! I hope you find yourself with a transformed perspective too, Sonicmom....See MoreCan you help me learn how to do this?
Comments (9)There's a couple of different ways you can achieve a pickled (or limed or whitewashed) finish. One is to use a stain, like Minwax water-based White Wash Pickling Stain. You can use white latex paint watered down (I think I used 3 parts of water to 1 part paint for a old bookshelf). Stain is easier and (I think) gives a better end product especially on cabinets, but it also depends on the wood species. For instance, pine can be a problem due to the resins in the wood, so that would require a wood conditioner to even out the pores and help reduce the blotches you can sometimes get. Choose the same type of conditioner as the type of stain you'll use (oil based or water based). There's lots of "how-to's" and videos available. Just search on "pickling finish for cabinets". Good luck!...See MoreDo you make things up as you go?
Comments (16)Carol, here's how I make my lasagna pasta: 2 eggs 1/4 tsp salt 1/3 cup semolina flour 1/3 cup whole wheat flour (I use white WW) 1/3 cup white flour Beat the eggs in a small mixing bowl with the salt and dump in the flours. It can be any combination of flours as long as the total is one cup. Stir in the flour with a spoon until partially combined, and then mix with your hand until you get the dough into a ball. It will be sticky at first, but eventually all the dough from your hand will stick to the ball instead of to your hand. If the dough is too dry, add a few drops of water - if it is too wet, knead in some more white flour on a board or countertop. Allow the dough to rest for 30 minutes to one hour, covered. Meanwhile, prepare the fillings for your lasagna, so that they will be ready for assembly. Divide the dough into six equal balls, and keep these covered until ready to roll out. Add a thin layer of tomato sauce to the bottom of the pan - I use an 8" Corningware pan that has a lid. Roll out the first ball with a rolling pin (I prefer one with ball bearings) into a squircle the size and shape of the pan, using flour as necessary to keep the dough from sticking. Shake off excess flour, and place the first piece of pasta into the pan. Spritz the pasta with a bit of water, and then add whatever fillings you choose. Repeat rolling out the rest of the balls, thus making six layers of lasagna, with sauce and Mozzarella on top. The pasta will be a bit thin (somewhat like ravioli pasta) but will swell up a bit during baking. The Corningware pan is nice because it has its own lid, and therefore you do not need aluminum foil. ------------- I do not dry the pasta - it will tend to be brittle and crack if you do. This is why you need to have the fillings ready before you start rolling out the pasta. If you want thicker pasta, you can divide it into five balls instead of six, and then you will have fewer layers. Of course you can mix your pasta dough however you want, such as in a food processor, but I don't like having to clean the FP and find mixing it in a bowl just as quick, and in fact quicker, if you add in the cleaning time....See MoreUser
