Ianuarie 2005, 23:59:23 Subiectul: Re: BerniceC: Moth balls and napthalene flakes are petroleum products, and if you can smell them, they are getting into your lungs, and that is NOT good for you! To rid youself of pests, deprive them of their food supply. Cayenne pepper will repel mice and squirrels. 30. Ianuarie 2005, 05:57:30  yep moth balls or napthalene flakes....we put them on the floor of our shed...no cockroaches or mice :) and it smells nice :)
but if you have scavenging pets, or small children..crawling etc that will put anything in their mouths BEWARE they are deadly poisonous 30. Ianuarie 2005, 04:10:13 Subiectul: Re: Re:  bwildman:
Mothballs also work great keeping the dogs from going potty on my trees.  29. Ianuarie 2005, 22:06:14 Subiectul: Re: Rose: works great. 29. Ianuarie 2005, 22:00:44 Moth balls really work on keeping spiders and wasps away? Gotta try that then. My windows and doors are always covered in huge spider webs. DOnt mind spiders just tired of them taking up all the window an door space 29. Ianuarie 2005, 20:47:49 Subiectul: Re: squirrels bwildman:
Once we have the house resided this Spring they won't be able to get in.I hope anyways. 29. Ianuarie 2005, 20:44:37 Subiectul: Re: squirrels Foxy Lady: try hanging small bags of mothballs near the corners.You can use craft lace and thumbtacks.It will also keep wasps and spiders down. 29. Ianuarie 2005, 20:39:30 Subiectul: Re: Birds Rose:
Squirrles oh please we have a family that lives in the eves of our house every year.They move out in the Spring.We had them removed and taken away but they came back every year,so we gave up .29. Ianuarie 2005, 20:34:18 Subiectul: Re: Birds volant:
They get fluids from berries and etc........I also see them pecking at snow....... 29. Ianuarie 2005, 20:32:13 Subiectul: Re: Birds bwildman:
For sure huh 29. Ianuarie 2005, 20:16:09 Subiectul: Re: Birds  Foxy Lady: Don't forget they also need water. Especially if it's freezing out. I have a big plactic pot bottom that is pretty easy to unmold the giant ice cube and replace with fresh water. I'de love a birdbath heater but don't have. 29. Ianuarie 2005, 15:05:48 Subiectul: Re: Birds Foxy Lady: Your right Foxy. SO many people think its cute to feed the birds in spring to watch them chirp by the windows but RIGHT now they need food. I feed the many, many diff types of birds in my neighbourhood. Peanuts for the jay and even squirrels. Seeds for the little ones. Even meat and eggs for the crows and seagulls. All birds are equal in my books. 29. Ianuarie 2005, 13:22:19 Subiectul: Re: Birds Foxy Lady: Hint from bwildman: dont place your birdfeeders near your vehicles or patio furniture  29. Ianuarie 2005, 11:20:23 Subiectul: Birds Don't forget to feed our feather freinds. 16. Ianuarie 2005, 12:31:43 Subiectul: Re: snow peas Modificat de Foxy Lady (16. Ianuarie 2005, 12:34:02) CW57:
Can't plant nothing here until the end of May.I'm in Central NY and it's been crazy weather this year. 16. Ianuarie 2005, 04:05:02 Subiectul: Re: snow peas  CW57:Good ole east Texas..greatest place in the world!! 15. Ianuarie 2005, 20:15:57 Subiectul: Re: snow peas Foxy Lady: i live in eastern texas. it's about 50 today and we've only had a few nights under freezing this winter. 15. Ianuarie 2005, 11:44:26 Subiectul: Re: snow peas CW57:
Where abouts do you live? Our ground is froze here even with the few days of warm weather. 14. Ianuarie 2005, 21:31:14 Subiectul: snow peas i started planting snow peas today. they're picked before they mature and eaten whole, usually in stir-fry, very tasty. i like them in a salad uncooked. good gardening to all. 14. Ianuarie 2005, 21:19:55 Subiectul: Re: Re: Foxy Lady: 1st time II heard it...I thought"no way"
the soil here in the Ozarks consists mostly of rock and red clay,and b planting grass in this fashion,allows the seed plenty of time to germinate. 14. Ianuarie 2005, 21:15:59 Subiectul: Re: bwildman:
Yes we've done that it also keeps the birds from eating the seed.......Yuk i don't like peas. 14. Ianuarie 2005, 20:59:05 just before a snow is the best time to plant grass seed.
As the snow melts,it loosens the ground and somewhat buries the seed. 14. Ianuarie 2005, 20:52:43 Some of my bulbs have sent up their leaves.  14. Ianuarie 2005, 20:48:02 Subiectul: Re: Weather Foxy Lady: time to plant your snow peas!! 14. Ianuarie 2005, 11:42:35 Subiectul: Weather Wow our weather is crazy it was like SPRING YESTERDAY high 53.Today it's cold and SNOW on the way. 28.

Decembrie 2004, 22:13:42 Subiectul: Pointsetta's  anyone who can offer tips? 13. Decembrie 2004, 22:12:42 Subiectul: Oh kewl.. Thanks Foxy.. :) 21.

Noiembrie 2004, 07:54:03 Subiectul: Snow We got some snow so the gardens are to bed here in NY. 6. Noiembrie 2004, 06:03:05 I agree with Bwildman...whole carcasses under the palms in my garden absolutely worked wonders :) 6. Noiembrie 2004, 04:43:54 Subiectul: Re: Roses Roses love potassium also,i throw a banana peel in the hole than plant the bush. 6. Noiembrie 2004, 03:59:14 when planting roses(and it helps to fish quite often) I literally plant the fish carcasses 1st,covering with 3 to 4 inches of soil,then planting the bush.This allows the oplant to "grow into" the fertilizer,after planting shock. 6. Noiembrie 2004, 00:52:51 Subiectul: Re:Fishbones I trust miracle_gro,don't have to worry about any cats digging up the bones. 5. Noiembrie 2004, 22:35:26 Subiectul: skipinnz Modificat de danoschek (5. Noiembrie 2004, 22:38:54) here the main provider is 'Neudorff' - could be available internationally.
btw the fishy stuff is practicable indeed. 'pre-rotten' in the garden even entirely un-smelly - and fishbones grated are not notorious either ... :D ~*~ 5. Noiembrie 2004, 09:12:49 Subiectul: Re: Thanks Nev Nake & Bwildman, but I don't think it's practical to put fish bones, heads etc into pots. I'm actually trying to get cuttings going in pots to transport to another property 5. Noiembrie 2004, 08:03:59 absolutly!! and the more oily the fish the better!
early Americans were taught to plant corn by the Indians that way. 5. Noiembrie 2004, 07:59:42 fish emmulsifier....or just put old (fresh) not cooked fish bones and meat under the cuttings.....works wonders.
it is used in the tropics of australia every day....you catch a fish, eat the flesh, and bury the remains under a plant...good gear LOLOL 5. Noiembrie 2004, 05:41:06 Subiectul: Re: we use seaweed extract thanks Dano I'll have a look and see if I can purchase some over here. 5. Noiembrie 2004, 02:32:07 Subiectul: we use seaweed extract Modificat de danoschek (5. Noiembrie 2004, 02:36:51) as rooting hormone - it works amazingly well ...
one ounce is about 5 euros here - equals $6.50 ... it works even in very low doses - truely productive ... ~*~ 2. Noiembrie 2004, 11:43:16 Subiectul: Re: cuttings Thats one i never heard of but i'd try it to see if it works. 2. Noiembrie 2004, 10:25:04 Subiectul: cuttings I've been told that honey applied to cuttings acts as a rooting horemone. My question is has anybody ever tried this, and if so how successful was it? 2. Noiembrie 2004, 11:40:14 Subiectul: Re: Garlic Hi BW just the regular small cloves,but you gave me an idea.:) << < 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 > >> |
