Flying with glass jars/canned items
Comments (13)Marcia, I really recommend against trying to take a glass jar as carry-on. I have had a jar of homemade jam I was taking to my elderly, ill mother-in-law confiscated. (That batch had a nice, solid set, so I tried to argue it wasn't a gel and in the plaste test hadn't spread, but the agent said even the fact of it being in a glass container made it potentially dangerous. He had the good grace to be apologetic about it, at least.) I've shlepped across Europe car-free and budget-tight, too, and can imagine your dilemma. If it were me, I would cruise the dollar stores for a plastic box that would fit the jars, to give hard sides without adding a lot of weight. I'd pack them in it with lots of paper and a ziplock. A good buffer of wadded paper is better than clothes, though it's hard to devote the room to it, I know. But if something DOES break, paper is the best defense agains broken glass (which can slice your ziploc otherwise), AND it is more likley to be seen by the airport goons as packaging that needs to be replaced than clothing is [even though, as you say, a jar in a sock is obviously there for its protetction]. Your chances are better of your checked backpack avoiding de-packing and getting badly re-packed than of getting a glass jar of something through security and on in your carry-on. As for brining the liquor back, maybe you can buy it at the duty-free at the departing airport? Though I have successfully brought bottles of wine home in a checked backpack, wrapped in paper and a ziplock, then wadded up in cloths & placed in the centre of the backback. If the store you buy it in can supply a sturdy box, though, so much the better.... Good luck, in any case! I love the idea of bringing some homemade goodies to your overseas friends and can see why you'd want to do it despite the hassle. Good luck and have a great trip....

Comments (5)If they are tiny gnats. It's more likely that they are fungus gnats. Too much water in the soil causes the right conditions for these things to thrive, let the soil dry out. Also do a search for fungus gnats on GW for treatment options. Also as Kevin stated identify then treat.

Comments (4)Hi everyone. Carol - I just use sharp scissors to cut the bristles; it works OK for me, but I imagine your idea with a sharp razor blade would be just as effective. However you do it, removing the dead flyspeck scale is still a frustratingly slow job and if the plant is severely infested and has pups, it's probably worth considering cutting the affected Mother plant away and just concentrating on the new pups as long as they are large enough to survive without the Mother plant. Whatever you do, don't be tempted to scrape off the scale before it is dead as this will only spread the tiny immature "crawlers" which are located beneath the mother. There are some articles relating to Flyspeck Scale in the Oct 2012 Illawarra Bromeliad Society quarterly news letter 'Newslink' (about halfway through) which will help you to better understand Flyspeck Scale and you can see it at:. http://www.bromeliad.org.au/news/Ill1012.htm All the best, Nev....See Morecarolb_w_fl_coastal_9b
