CS> Naw, not Navy regs, just home space and what meant sense.  Didnt have to
CS> make 2 batches of suds with my way .
 
I meant abord ship.
 
CS> Mom wasnt much on church really.  Just enough to be 'respectable' (every
CS> 2-3 months she'd take us all and we'd get Sunday school which was
CS> actually fun and I liked being dressed up for the rare occasion).
 
That it was.  Those were some fun times.
 
CS> It's an old one, works great.  'fish poo is good for plants'.  When I'd
CS> drain the 70g tank (also in storage), I'd do that to a bucket with a
CS> siphon made of old hose (tape off the bottom and tuck in a bucket then
CS> pour water in the top as you dont want to drink fish poo :-).  What water
CS> didnt go on the indoor plants, went out in the flower garden or the
CS> roses.
 
CS> People used to ask us all the time why our roses would bloom so much when
CS> they never saw us fiddle with them other than to clip them back in late
CS> fall.  Easy.  Fish poo water!
 
CS> Oh, for aquarium keepers, here's another.  If you need plants and like
CS> live, they are easy to grow for cheap in a 'plant tank'.  Just put the
CS> tank in a sunny window and line the bottom with the cheapest clay
CS> catlitter you can find.  The really cheap stuff has no chemical additives
CS> or scents and grows tank plants like crazy.  With my 70g tank of
CS> goldfish, I needed plants very regular and my 20G plant tank was able to
CS> keep up an gave a bonus I'd trade at the local fish store for stuff.
 
CS> Wanna kill grass in the driveway and be both cheap and environmentally
CS> safe? Vinigar will do it and last several rains.  Just get a big jug of
CS> the cheapest white type (any type will work) and pour it where the grass
CS> grows.  I have a slab type with 6 slabs and the seams where they meet
CS> tend to grow grass.  Since sealing it with cement in that location means
CS> the slabs will crack due to the loss of 'give and take in winter
CS> freeze-thaw', this is a very easy alternative.
 
CS> Got outdoor ant problems and live in the south where grits are easy to
CS> get?  Get a big container and when it's dry (cant have rained recently,
CS> dry ground) pour a handful on the pile.  They eat it and it expands in
CS> their tummy but their carapace doesnt allowfor that and it kills them.
CS> Kills the queen too. Dont use indoors though as roaches dont act the same
CS> so you end up feeding them 8'(
 
Great suggestions!  Thanks, Carol.
