    I made a mess of composting

    So i've done it again. :rolleyes: My compost seems to be ruined. There are maggots in the compost. I did not put any dairy products or meat in there, but there are maggots. :sick After the compost stew fiasco above, I dumped it out and let it dry and then put it all back into one bucket (why...

    Hydrangea Help!?

    I'm intimidated by hydrangea's. I hear different things from each person I talk to about them - so I have no idea. I hope someone can shed some light on the reason they aren't growing.

    Oh, I messed up!! picture (update)

    I think you could turn it into a nice place to watch your chickens. With the swing there it would be perfect to pretty up the coop. Maybe add some kind of vine to grow on the fence and "disguise" the coop?

    For karenleaf......

    I don't have a picture but it's very nice. She has it squared off with landscaping timers - has nice mulch all around it and then her pot with the flowers - it's not just an old toilet sitting there with dirt and plants. She lives in a mobile home too, which only adds to the "charm".

    For karenleaf......

    My sister has a flower "pot" in her front yard (a nice toilet). her neighbor has tons of these weird old props in his front yard (a giant shark head, and giant tree branch with a giant vulture on it etc) so she is trying to out trash him. She has flowers in the back (where the water fills up)...

    How to store and dry herbs the best way....

    If you get the ac filters, be sure to get the ones with NO fiber glass!!! your mouth and tummy would itch and itch and itch!! :lol: , but seriously, it would be bad. I always clean with vinegar, floors, toilets, windows, I add it to my laundry for extra dirty loads - It cleans and diodorizes (...

    Lavender Salt and other "flavored salts"

    I love lime salt in a cold beer :love - I think I will try to make some homemade lime salt and give the twang a break!!! Do you think just the zest would be sufficient, do you think the salt would get cakey?

    What Are You Planting Today, This Week, This Month?

    I planted two bell pepper plants that I think I probably killed, but I went ahead and planted them anyway. It's raining right now, so maybe a nice shower will help them revive. :fl none of my seedlings made it so these are my last hope.
