Has anyone had problems with skinks (not skunks) damaging plants?
Comments (7)Renee, I now know that skinks don't eat roots and I know that toads don't. They do however make holes and I do know that air pockets in your soil are not good for the plants roots. These holes are numerous and destroy soil stucture. At first I thought maybe whatever it was was eating the roots but I no longer think that. I think the actual holes could in fact be causing damage. I don't consider ACE a big box store at all. These are small buisnesses and they do hire people who actually know what they are talking about which is why I like to shop there verses Lowes or Walmart and I would never ask those people advise on plants cause they know squat! This women is a master gardener with 35 years experience and knows what she is talking about (everything she says line up with things I have read). I also come to these forums as well (use to be on here a lot more at one time) in fact I have a link on my blog for this and the antique rose forum because there are so many wonderful people from all over to get there opinion or advice from and I think it's great. Very helpful people on the Garden Web! I have a bad feeling now though that is may in fact be voles as I dug up one of my antique roses that hadn't been doing good (with 2 holes near it) and it roots didn't look right. So I am going to try this method and see what I come up with. Easy and cheap without waasting money on traps and bait or having to buy harmful bait to gget rid of them. Wish me luck! ~Meghan...See More10 year old cat has had 3 strokes in past 2 months!
Comments (4)Oh, Rachel, I'm so sorry. It sounds like things are going from bad to worse for kittygirl. The only other thing I can think to recommend is to get her to a university vet school clinic, if possible. That's where you'll find a lot of veterinary specialists and specialized diagnostic equipment under one roof. If a definitive diagnosis and effective treatment plan can be established, that's where it's most likely to happen. Please keep us updated. I wish you and kittygirl the best possible outcome.

Comments (92)No engineered stone is approved for UV exposure. It’s not an industry secret at all. None can go outside. Period. If your professionals that you worked with had done their jobs, you’d be an educated consumer and know that it’s not an exclusion just for Cambria. Direct sun from standard new windows shouldn’t pass enough UV to damage your floors, furniture, or e-stone. Standard windows already come with UV blocking properties, so if yours are so old that they don’t have it, you’ve got other issues about UV exposure in your house. Old windows need UV blocking film installed to avoid degradation to all kinds of interior finishes. Not just your e-stone. If it’s a relatively new window, that’s a conversation that you need to have with your window manufacturer. It’s defective. This is Not on Cambria. Or Silestone. Or Pental. Or Zodiaq. Or any e-stone manufacturer. New windows shouldn’t have issues with transmitting enough UV to damage your home.. Poop happens. This isn’t on Cambria. Talk to your window manufacturer....See MoreHas anyone had bunion surgery?
Comments (17)It's harder to get into medical school than into podiatry school, entrance standards are higher. (Many who go podiatry school tried and failed to get into either allopathic or osteopath schools). Physician training is more intensive. For those going into surgery, the training route for physician surgeons (compared to podiatrists) takes more years and involves exposure to arguably better teaching practitioners and a broader variety of situations. Of course there are great podiatric surgeons and lousy physician orthopedists but if given a choice, why would anyone pick a service provider whose training was less rigorous and whose profession is less selective for entrance? There are things that podiatrists do that orthopedic surgeons don't, I don't mean to suggest that seeing one for one of those problems is a bad choice. But if surgery is involved, I think finding someone whose training and academic background are on a higher level is something most would prefer....See MoreMizLizzie
