on sealing liquids.. you have to do it the correct way.. ;) As in I buy the square and rectangle glad containers and freeze my liquids in them and then pop them out and vac pac. I like the square and rectangle ones cuz they stack pretty nicely in the freezer. I did try putting the...

You're so welcome. I just wet the brush and rub it on the chunk of soap and rub the spot. and I've even let it dry on there cuz I forgot it and just tossed in the hamper and it worked great.

I have the foodsaver that is sold thru sam's club and I buy my extra rolls there too. I got mine over 10 years ago and other than a couple years ago, having to buy new foam gaskets(they do break down) I love it.. it works great and stuff that is vacpacked properly lasts for several seasons in...

I still use the fels for spot cleaning.. there is a part of a bar in the bathroom with a nasty old toothbrush in a cup in the cubby. Fels does wonderful for tomato/hot pepper sauce stains. Or chocolate! and if anyone in the family gets into the patch of poison ivy that is the first thing I...

That is exactly what I am planning to do when these bulbs croak. I was goofy and bought the big grow lights. but I only have two bulbs in my set up.. Great buy on the 4 bulb fixtures! and I too have hooks and chains to move the lights up and down over the plants.

Hugs sweetie! :hugs it is hard.. I can shoot rabbits that are wild and I can butcher out deer but my chickens.. not yet.. I'll clean them if someone else does the deed but so far I can't. but I grew up with family that had big farms and we learned early not to name the animals. Babe the ox...

I'm not sure if I said or not earlier in this thread but I use Zote soap and it has optical brighteners in it and I like the scent better than the fels. it is citronella and it does keep the clothing much nicer than the fels. And since the store I bought it in decided not to keep carrying it I...

YAY! :weee when we bought our freezer scratch and dent it just would not fit in the back of the durango. they also had a trailer there at sams in the clearance it was normally $799 and since someone bought it and used it to take stuff home and then brought it back they couldn't sell it as new...

That is what I do but I melt about 1 cup of water softener salt with the soap bits when I make the liquid stuff. it has made a world of difference. my water is rock hard. I use a lot of white cheap vinegar for cleaning and put a bit of a glug in the softener spot with the fabric softener. it...

You're talking about making a hot box. My Aunts used to make them in the early fall. dig hole a good couple feet down-put about a good 6 inch deep layer of horse/cow poo in there, the fresh stuff too! and then put a layer of straw on and then fill with good soil and plant-put a cold frame of...

Just go for it! I have a lemon tree/orange tree /key lime tree and a freaking banana in the house and I live in Michigan. Sure the lemon and key lime are still young but the orange makes oranges.. they go out in the spring and come inside in the fall. I've had avocado's sprout in my compost...

I'm gonna get out some pint jars and move it up to a bigger jar tomorrow and for some reason my older cat isn't that fond of it but the younger furball almost climbed on my lap when I had that spoonfull for her to taste. but she likes tangerines too. I'm planning on buying the stuff to make...

yesterday for dinner I made 9 rolls of Kimbap at home for about $8 and that much would cost you about $4 to $5 each in the Chinese/Japanese/Korean restaurant that I love to go to. and I have enuf rice and nori to make another 9 later this week with other fillings. (thinking about going all...

I've really thought about trying the newspaper pots, and I mulch with black and white newspapers with grass clippings ontop and by the ned of summer the paper is mostly gone and the worms are starting to pull the grass clippings down into the soil. I also like peat pots but I found that you...

Okay day 9 (I think) and the grains haven't really changed much except I may have been a bit rough with one of them cuz there are a couple little ones in there extra I know I started with 6 clumps and now there are 6 big ones and a couple bitty ones. but the milk has gone from smelling just...

I use the little plastic things from the mushrooms that I buy and dixie cups and old potting cups and jiffy pellets and what ever holds dirt. I do use a soil-less potting soil by plantation and I mix worm castings in it. The worm castings really seem to keep the damp off at bay. if and when I...

Ten or so years ago at Menards it is a big chain up here in Michigan-not sure how widespread they are but they often have much better pricing than lowes or home depot. ETA: just checked the same one now is $17.68 no bulbs. Online. I'd have to see what they are in store. Hubs said that they...

mine are over 10 years old haha. if they ever burn out I am just buying a cool and a warm set to pop in heck I even had a CFL in one of the brooder hoods and it had enuf light for one small pot of baby boc choi last year. I just ran out of room under the lights.

OH!! Guilty!!! :ya But my weird habit(compulsion?) has taught me many things about my organic gardening.. like the life cycle of tomato horn worms. I can now spot the eggs on the leaves and have found them when they are 1/4 inch long by looking for tiny chew holes and turning the leaf over...

They look like my grow lights too.. but I got mine for about $6(no bulbs) and the bulbs cost more than the lamp fixture. lol but I did buy grow bulbs. I have them on chains and hooks and can move them up and down with the growth of the plants..
