novel use for an ice cube tray
Comments (7)Great set-up, Kristi! And a wonderful use for a product that almost has no use any longer, due to the ice dispensers on newer refrigerators! Looking good! I've tried the flotation method in water for seed starting, and I prefer to simply plant them directly into soil, though both methods work equally well. I make little slits in the soil and plop in a seed on its side... I'd say they get covered with a 1/4 inch of soil, or less. In other words, I barely cover them, but I make sure there's good soil to seed contact. For me, the trick is bottom heating with a pad made for the purpose of seed starting and cutting rooting. My flats of seeds are on a heat pad and under lights. Last spring, I started a flat of Hippeastrum seeds outdoors, and I placed in on the concrete pad in front of the garage. The flat got morning sun, and I had great germination and growth... by autumn, I was able to transplant the little seedlings into larger pots and bring them indoors. Thanks for sharing those photos, Kristi! Very helpful!...See MoreCurshed Bug Ice Cube Repellent???
Comments (1)The basic premise behind this may be the Nuclear Polyhedris Virus, NPV, but freezing the whizzed bugs right after whizzing them would not allow this to develop. The initial research into NPV showed that the whizzed bugs needed to steep for at least 24 hours for the Virus to grow. So the way to utilize this is to gather several of the target insects (say the Japanese Beetles), whiz them in a bit of water in your blender (you probably should use a blender that will not be used for fixing food for the family after this), let that mixture steep for 24 hours, and then dilute it and strain it, and spray it around the garden. The theory is that each insect species carrys the virus that will kill them but it needs encouragement to grow....See MoreTell me about your favorite cabinet insert or storage solution
Comments (24)My tall oven cabinet came with a shelf, so I just put it high enough to fit my griddle and extra long platters and then placed the dividers on top of the shelf. The dividers can be screwed down, but I didn't bother as they don't move much without the screws and it also meant I didn't have to drill holes in my shelf! Even if the cabinet had not come w/the shelf, I was going to ask for one since I already had planned for this storage based on what I had seen here in the thread linked below. I think I got the idea from Gizmonike and Sail-Away. BTW...I was originally going to get the Rev-A-Shelf dividers but put these from Walmart in temporarily. The Walmart ones worked so well that I didn't bother to replace them...besides, I would have needed 6 packs of 2-dividers each and at $14.95 per 2-pack, this was much cheaper! I used 3 dividers from Walmart at $5.95 each, so $18 vs $90...easy decision! I also bought two more of those dividers and put them under my corner prep sink...one in each deep corner One holds cutting boards, the other holds my pizza stones & cast iron frying pan.

Comments (7)Here you go, the uppers have the calander hanging on one side and emergency numbers on right door and all the office things live here. There is an outlet for charging cameras and "my" stuff. On the counter is an outlet for the land line. Antique tray is our magnet board. Top drawer has a powerstrip attached to the back for DH's electronics this is "his" drawer for keys and anything else. Bottom drawer is the coupons, and "junk" drawer as I have found it is inevitable! Basket is home for shoes. There is now a cushion on the dog kennel. Once Buddy is no longer we can pop an end panel on kennel and the lid under cushion lifts for more storage. Hope this helps!
