We added some hooks and now it’s the perfect spot to hang things like wine openers or bar towels!.
this salt trick.Well, how quickly and how effectively it works depends on a few things.
It works by completely dehydrating the plant, so a nice hot sunny day really speeds up the process.I tried this during a hot spell and it worked in less than 24 hours.This patch that I’m showing you now took about 5 days because it was a little bit cooler and more overcast during that time.
It still worked, but it took some time.Of course it also works better on certain weeds compared to others.
You really do need a few different tricks up your sleeve to kill all your different weeds, but luckily I’ve got some of those in store for you soon.
Salting only takes 20 seconds though, so it’s worth a shot if you’ve got a walkway that looks like mine.. Where we live, the climate is quite humid, so the salt really clumped up and stuck exactly where I put it, but if it’s dryer where you are, you may want to sprinkle the ground with some water first so the salt doesn’t blow away.. Something else you should know: This salt trick is a little controversial in the organic gardening world according to my reading.And I was explaining how colored water doesn’t come out of taps and how it was impossible.
And his dad and him just kind of looked at each other and laughed.And he kindly explained to me that I could just put a few drops of food coloring into the balloons first.. Oh..
So we did.. By the time we got this all figured out and the balloons outside and mostly frozen, the weather was starting to heat up.The only semi-cold temperatures probably had something to do with why our balloon marbles look so frosty and not all clear and shiny.. Well, they’re still kind of pretty, so it wasn’t a total failure.. And one year, if we still have snow at Easter, I know just what to do!This maybe my favorite little home-keeping pearl of wisdom ever.
