Earth Friendly Garden Tips

Friendly Garden tips.

As seen in this thread in Jamies group, and others
http://www.care2.com/c2c/groups/disc.html?gpp=20938&pst=1250715&saved=1

 

Recycle by making Newspapers into biodegradable pots for your seedlings.

This is messy, but fun. Strip newspapers and make paste from flour and water.

First put a few layers of plain wet strips around the plastic container you are using for the mold. Don't paste these. Then start at the bottom of the container and work your way to the sides with a thin layer of paste. Build it up really good, and let it dry.

Poke small holes in the bottom and side, a voila' you've got yourself a pot for seedlings. Just do not over water until you have planted the seedling in the ground.

I made a fancy one on accident.


Homemade Pot

 

Make your own dirt.

Don't throw away those leaves in the fall.

Toss them in a black bag and fill them with water. Shredded leaves compost quicker. Best place to leave them is a sunny location, but not necessary.

Wait anywhere from 2 - 4 days. Make sure all of the leaves are soaked.

Poke tiny holes in the bottom to let the water slowly drain.

Check on them the following Spring. If they're dry, add water, but you may already have fresh, black, dirt that is full of nutrients for your plants.

Some leaves make dirt quicker than others.

Happy gardening!

Your friend, Electra

Fake Animal Rescue

[Please remember that these are common names, check out any pet adoption Agency thoroughly before dealing with them.]

Here's another link. http://www.hsmc-wv.org/alerts/12112006.html

FAKE SHELTER / RESCUER ALERT

Tony & Rebecca Williams claim to have a rescue in Rocky Mount, NC and are trying to get dogs from all over the Eastern Seaboard. (She offered to take 14 dogs since Monday.)

She continues to take dogs. Most are pit bulls, with some offers to adopt Presa Canarios, Rottweilers, Dobermans, and Wolf hybrids. In addition, she had previously posted that her roommate was looking for a Great Dane or Great Dane mix.
She also posted that she was "desperate" for a Chihuahua and she really wanted a Min Pin and a Jack Russell. She claims her rescue is a pit bull rescue, but another pit rescuer called the local Animal Control.

Animal Control's comments:
"She's been barred from taking any dogs from the shelters in her area." He also said she has a long criminal history, has been selling Pit Bulls on street corners for $15 or $20 and has been under investigation for dog fighting. Atlantic Rescue has now banned her, after finding out this information. These are the breeds she has asked for:

a. Pit Bulls
b. Rottweillers
c. Dobermans
d. Presa Canarios
e. Tea Cup Chihuahuas
f. Jack Russell Terriers
g. Sharpeis
h. Miniature Pinscher
i. Great Dane (Pure Breed or Mix)

She uses the little dogs as bait!
Please cross post.
They are going out of their area looking for dogs to adopt for their inhumane purposes.

Please cross post anywhere & everywhere

Oil eating Bacteria can be used to clean up spills.
Feb 11, 2008
Focus: Environment
Action Request: Visit - online
Location: United States
Environmentally friendly alternatives need to be utilized in the cleaning up of our mishaps.
Cyanide from mines can be cleaned up by utilizing plants that naturally contain this element. Most people don't know this.
Since most of these Chemicals are found naturally in plants, plants can and should be used as an aid in the cleanups.
This Bacteria is a 'Naturally Occurring' alternative.
Please note the Article, and help spread the word that we want 'Environmentally Safe' alternatives to be used instead of them being 'swept under the rug' at our expense, and the expense of Wildlife.
Thank you and have a great day! Electra
