 Sharing My Gardening Tip - BY RUDY H.
|
|
Organic soil enhancers
produce more and higher quality fruits and veggies. Chemical
fertilizers toxify the plants and they will begin to show it.
An organic feritlizer that has its origin in the sea, as fish
extract and sea kelp promote organisims that the plant's roots
system thrives in. The chemicals are toxic to the foilage, whereas
liquid organic fertilizer feed the plants through it's foilage.
This organic soil enhancer is called AGgrand and can be diluted
and sprayed on the plant or on the soil without fear of burning.
Try doing this on your with chemical fertilizers and you can
have a funeral for your plants. |

Tips From My Garden - BY
CHRISTINE HK. |
|
Try this sometime.
If you have an infestation of moth larvae in your lazy susan
or cupboards, try laying down mint leaves or even rue. For some
reason, they don't like it. The same goes for outside, if you
have an ant/bug crawling problem, the rue deters them.
I tried an experiment
once and mixing the mint and rue together (by grinding them up)
and made a paste. This I put around my roses base and it seemed
to keep away the crawling creatures. Now all I have to do is
figure out how to get the flying ones off. |

Ant Deterrent -
BY HAJEK |
|
Our home was infested
with ants. I tried everything, including ant traps. The most
effective thing was, once I figured out where they were coming
in, was lavender oil. They HATE it!! I put a few drops in the
cracks I suspected they were coming in, and they NEVER returned.
SO every spring, before the weather starts to warm up, I will
be dropping lots of lavender oil around my kitchen. |

Ant Bites -
BY ANGELA |
|
When I lived
in Phoenix, AZ a few years ago an old Indian man told me the
best remedy for fire ant bites is meat tenderizer (plain) with
baking soda, you put equal amounts and a little bit of water
to make a paste with it. It draws out the venom and helps with
the itching. I had gotten bit by many of them while I was pregnant
with my son. I itched for 2 weeks, met that man and within a
day the swelling and itching was down. I also put bandaids over
it to keep the pasty mixture on me.
Hope this helps
some of you, Angela |

Gnats Will Not Bite -
BY JAC |
|
The farmers
in my area (Cape May, New Jersey) always go into the fields with
LISTERINE (out of the bottle) rubbed all over their skin and
hair. Believe it or not, the gnats and mosquitos will not bite
you. An added bonus is that when put into the hair (I put it
on just after washing my hair so it will touch my scalp) your
hair will be nice and shiny.
The medicinal
odor fades away leaving a film on the body and safeguards you
against their tortuous bites.
I love your
column. I found it by accident and now check it out quite often.
Thanks, JAC |
