Fertilizer Questions.
Comments (1)1) There's no (good) reason why you can't use that product for all of your plants. You should make sure that some plants you may be growing do not have a special micronutrient requirement not carried in the MG stuff, though. 2)As long as you keep it dry, it will last forever. Water soluble fertilizers tend to be very hydrophyllic, and can absorb humidity from the air. So be mindful of that when storing. 3)Yes, you can mix it up ahead of time to use later. Make sure that too much water doesn't evaporate from the solution, however, or it will be too strong....See Moreherrenhauser garten growing question.

Comments (2)First of all, there is a 30% tax credit (on parts and labor!) on better-quality inserts right now if you can get them in service (not just paid for) by Dec. 31. I suggest you see if you can get an insert job done; Maybe Uncle Sam will pay for the insert if you cover the labor. Now for your main question about doing it without an insert. I looked into this once and concluded that without an insert, gas log conversions from any type wood burning fireplace are mainly for ambience, not heat. The best I could come up with was, I learned that some RH Petersen logs with GF in the part number are designed to work with doors closed and thus keep the heat in the firebox instead of going up the flue. Maybe we could hear from someone with GF logs. There are also some other brands that advertise "reduced vent" logs, you might ask about those. In both cases I have my doubts about, even if it does produce heat, how much, and is it practical to get it to work with a thermostat....See MoreFlooring With Severe Allergies
Comments (7)Depending on what you're allergic to and what triggers your asthma, some materials are better than others. It isn't just about dust mites and mold in carpets. For me, the biggest problem with carpet isn't the carpet itself, but the adhesives and materials used in some pads. They can be high VOC and off gas for a long time. We've tried to be very careful in our remodel, but it's hard to find out exactly what's in, for example, engineered hardwood. I wanted engineered hardwood throughout my home, and I identified several brands that looked like they would be good for allergies and asthma. Then I couldn't get samples from one well-regarded company due to some weird regional nonsense, possibly a bad local distributor. I learned another top notch company used a metal in their beautiful high-tech and high quality finish that I'm sensitive to. Trying to find MSDSs for most engineered flooring was an exercise in frustration, and I can be a dogged researcher. As we ran out of time, I finally decided on 3/4" white oak. Wood has some VOCs, but it shouldn't have unidentified adhesives and resins. We used a Rubio Monocoat finish because it seems to have a good chance of not aggravating our allergies and intolerances. We'll see. We tiled our bathrooms, and I learned that some grouts can off gas VOCs, and even occasionally contain random heavy metals. I decided urethane grout would be a good choice for us, but then I didn't like the colors as well as some other types. Finding the best choices when there are health issues involved requires a lot of research and compromise. One of my nieces is autistic and doesn't easily clear metals and other toxins from her body. She had such high lead levels at one point that my brother tested everything in their home. Lots of things had lead in them that shouldn't have, including some tiles. This was five years ago, and he found that the country of origin didn't necessarily matter, nor did the cost of various items. It remains hard to identify what exactly is in flooring and tons of other things we use daily. Good luck in your search for the right floors....See More- 6 years ago
