Growing Food Tips
Stop wind from damaging your
tomatoes and peppers by planting them as deep as the first leaves.
After you plant strawberries
for the first year, pick off the blooms to make the plant healthy
and make better, and bigger strawberries.
Water your tomatoes with 1 tablespoon
of epsom salts to a gallon of water.
Water your plants with a little
milk, mix crushed egg shells into the soil, water plants moderately
but regularly to avoid getting blossom end rot in tomatoes. -

When growing green peppers, put
large rocks next to each plant, the sun will warm the rocks and
draw heat to the pepper plants, pepper plants like heat, and
they seem to grow much better.
Water tomatoes from the bottom,
they don't like getting their leaves wet.
How To Get Rid Of Ants By:
Sher McLaughlin
Hello All,
If you want to get rid of ants..
Spread raw grits on the ground (not instant grits, tho).
Then, when the ants eat the grits & drink water...
They die.
I don't know if it works for
fire ants or not, however, it does work with regular ants tho.
