Kodiak Mustard is Great for Gardening, It Will Kill Pests and Help Your Soil I felt guilty about neglecting my garden. All winter long I'd forsaken my plot, using the time instead to dress up my house for the holidays. The time I had for tilling I used for making a centerpiece out of thrift store nutcrackers, the time I had for watering I used instead for dry brining a turkey in a too-small refrigerator (so much blood). When I visited my plot in my community garden for the first time in a while, I was relieved that I wasn't alone. It reminded me of what summer homes must feel like in January. What had been such a place of abundance in the spring had been reduced to fallow patches of dirt, with the occasional berry tangled in a leaning wire fence to declare, "I'm still here." Sometimes you need a detox. Soil is alive—at least it can be. Enter Kodiak mustard! Additionally, this member of the Brassica family (also home to turnips and brussels sprouts) is relatively quick to germinate, which makes it perfect to plant pre-spring.
How To: Remove a Popcorn Ceiling how-to-remove-popcorn-ceiling For a significant chunk of the 20th century, from the 1950s through the '80s, the ceilings in many new homes—particularly in bedrooms—came with a rough, stippled texture that become known as a "popcorn" finish. People tout the sound-dampening properties of popcorn ceilings, but I think they really caught on for a pretty simple reason: They hide imperfections and made life a little easier for professional builders. One major drawback is that, because they don't reflect very much light, popcorn ceilings tend to eat up the light in a room. Another con is that many homeowners consider popcorn ceilings to be just plain ugly. Fortunately, it's easy to remove popcorn ceilings, and although it can be a very messy and labor-intensive affair, the transformative results can make the effort well worth it.

Green Acres Girl | Page 10 How are the chickens, you ask? Well, they are 3 months and 22 days old today. They are close to full grown, and are splendidly feathered. They began their little chicken lives in our living room, where for the first three days I fought for each little one to survive, loosing quite a few. Do you remember the story of Little B., the bird who couldn’t keep her beak to herself? Little B at two weeks old Little B was always a lighter yellow than all of her Aracauna sisters Loading the two-week old chicks into the chicken house under heat lamps Above, you can see the chicken coop that was here at the Rudy farm out in a field behind the house. Yesterday, for the first time, the girls ventured beyond their own back yard–and into ours! Yesterday, May 20th, was the first time that the girls ventured out beyond the comfort of their own back yard--and into mine. The girls and the flowers.

10 Homemade Laundry Soap Detergent Recipes Here is a nice stack of different recipes for making homemade laundry detergent that I’ve collected over the years. Do they work? Yes, I’ve had good luck with them. At the time I was using them, we had a relative who was in trade school living with us. Making your own is a discipline and it’s not for everyone, but it definitely saves money–sometimes just costing pennies a load! For the bar soaps required in the recipes, you could try Fels-Naptha, Ivory, Sunlight, Kirk’s Hardwater Castile, and Zote. Here are ten different recipes you can try, I’ve also added a very useful Frequently Asked Questions section at the bottom of the page. 1 quart Water (boiling) 2 cups Bar soap (grated) 2 cups Borax 2 cups Washing Soda Add finely grated bar soap to the boiling water and stir until soap is melted.

Eggshells as Organic Pest Control - Get Busy Gardening 2K+ The flea beetles have been worse than ever this summer, and the Japanese beetles are no fun either. On top of that, the slugs have been turning my hostas into swiss cheese. (Ahhh, the joys of gardening) I need all the help I can get fighting these and other pests in the garden. There is a well known organic pesticide called diatomaceous earth, which is basically the fossilized remains of creatures that are ground into a fine powder. This works as an organic pesticide because it gets under the shells of beetles and acts like bits of glass to cut them up and kill them. I eat a lot of eggs, so I have plenty of eggshells. Eggshells as organic pest control: Allow the eggshells to dry out before crushing them. Grind the eggshells into a powder using a food processor or coffee grinder. The coffee grinder does a great job of grinding the eggshells into a powder. After the eggshells are crushed, you can take them out to the garden and use them right away. Google + StumbleUpon
Got Baby Backs? Rib Tips from a BBQ Pro 1. Don’t forget to remove the underbelly membrane. ”You need to do this before anything else,” says Love. ”If you don’t remove it, the smoke won’t penetrate the meat properly on the bottom side of the ribs.
