out by the side of my yard. This way after we are done skating for the year, I can poke holes in the liner and all of the water will leak into the drains and immediately be gone. I won't have to worry about pumping it somewhere, or water coming close to the house. I'm ...
I made these planters for carrots and other veggies that can grow in small containers. All you need is a 5 gallon bucket, drill some holes for drainage, wrap in burlap potato sacks and fill with planting mix. I was so happy these daffodils didn't get obliterated by the recent storms and...
Drill holes all over the bucket, on the sides and lids so flies go in, and the bottom is important so that the larva can fall out. Put a fine layer of shaving on the bottom especially if you have squishy large intestines that can cover up the holes. ...
we are not seeing the bigger picture. I can let a few kale leaves have holes to have my other plants have a few extra pollinators (those eggs turn into butterflies). I can let some bad insects live without spraying because I know the predatory insects will begin to show up without the...

Trim the ends off your squashes and then use a food processor or the large holes on a box grater to shred your squash. Toss the squash with 1 tsp salt and place in a colander to drain for ten minutes. Use your hands or a spoon to squeeze the liquid out of your squash. Then place...
Cicadas emerge from burrows through round holes in soil mounds very similar to those of the cicada killer wasps that attack them. Gardeners often suspect mole crickets, which damage grass roots, of producing earth mounds in their lawns, but mole cricket activity typically shows up as narrow tunne...
