Anyone else renovating/overseeding this weekend?
Comments (18)As I'm sure you know, Jasper and J/II perform very well in many locations, though I agree that relative to your other grasses it is a water hog. And it is not native, of course. Have you considered a hard fescue? I don't know how Gotham works by you but you might look into it, it does well in my area and is relatively new. Also Firefly. Neither is native of course (same as Jasper or J/II), but they are not water hogs either, at least to the extent that the Jasper could be called that. And which in any event is nowhere near the water hogginess of KBG. Of course, the hard fescues don't spread very well, so putting the relatively water-hogging CRFs aside, you might also consider a Chewings if you are looking for spreading abilityThey don't spread as well as the creepers of course, and certainly no where near as fast as KBG, but they do spread better than the hards. If you were so inclined I would recommend looking into Intrigue Chewings, which has apparently demonstrated some allelopathic effects against some common weeds, and is also one of the best trialed Chewings of all time. If you go to NTEP, it hasn't been trialed since maybe to 2002 trials, but I have not heard a bad word about it since. So look at the 2002 trials in your area to see if it might work for you, again, if you are so inclined. Best, Paul...See MoreDoes anyone else HATE their comfort height toilet?
Comments (137)I'm looking for more links Bowl-to-floor <= 15". We're a household of three 5ft 5in. people. We're renovating four bathrooms. Just ordered a Tushy Ottoman but we're really NOT happy that we literally cannot buy a high-quality toilet that's standard height. Here's the whole plan: 1. We're ordering the Kohler - Wellworth Classic: (14 1/2") for two of our bathrooms. 2. We have a nice Elongated Toto (17" height?!) and I'll be trying out the 7.5" Tushy Ottoman https://hellotushy.com/products/tushy-ottoman-toilet-stool with that. 3. And then... one of our bathrooms needs a corner standard-height toilet, and my current plan is to buy a separated High-tank toilet https://www.rensup.com/bathroom/high-tank-toilets and bowl separately. I may also check Etsy for toilet bowl makers. What has this world come to? What a drag. It is also annoying that everything is labeled "Right-height"... yeah, it's kind of offensive because the height change is marketed as a feature and so it's excluded from most website's filter bars! Since it's an additive-feature, you can't filter for the absence of "Right-height" or "ADA Compliant". It's like -- I feel like I've been in the specific set of meetings where someone has a brilliant, cost-savings idea of to unify on a single height. Brilliant mind (BM): "OK, get this, we can halve the number of products we have to produce that sit on the shelves!" Everyone else (EE): "Oh, how do we do it?!" BM: "We just pick one height!" EE: "*Contemplative silence* God. Yes. Brilliant... But... won't people be mad?" EE: "I mean, there are short people and kids..." BM: "No, no, no, we'll pick the accessible height and then market the change as a feature! This means we'll also get a competitive advantage over other toilet brands who aren't thinking about accessibility!" ~~~ *end scene* ~~~ My beef, TLDR: 1. Public toilets should be as accessible as possible. 2. Companies get to "win" by removing consumer choices. 3. I'm now googling for an artisan toilet bowl maker on Etsy. Good luck everyone.

Comments (17)Hi Wintercat and Barb: I'm glad to see rose-growers here in Cooking Forum. Roses are NO longer important to me ... already have too many (60+ roses). My focus is taking care of my family through healthy cooking. I agree with everyone that daily exercise boost up the metabolism. Yesterday I spent 1 1/2 hour shoveling the ice .. was sweating & hot for hours afterwards. Grainlady has a good point that healthy fats like Coconut oil raise metabolism. Omega-3 is used to treat Raynaud syndrome: defined as excessively reduced blood flow in response to cold, or extreme pain with cold temp. My kid eats at least 1 cup of walnut per day, plus 2 tablespoons of flax oil (high in Omega-3 and Omega-9). My kid is always warm. Studies show that Omega-3 increase the "brown fat" storage with higher metabolism. My kid hates it when school made her wear her coat during recess. She never wear gloves nor hat, even in our freezing zone 5a winter. I notice the same effect when I have walnut or flax oil for dinner: very warm at night, so I only use that during the winter. The "China Study" is a landmark book by Dr. Campbell. According to Wikipedia, "Dr. Colin Campbell, Jacob Gould Schurman Professor Emeritus of Nutritional Biochemistry at Cornell University, and his son Thomas M. Campbell II, a physician. It was first published in the United States in January 2005 and had sold over one million copies as of October 2013, making it one of America's best-selling books about nutrition." I read that book twice, it showed that a vegetarian diet resulted in higher metabolism than a high-protein diet, plus reduced rate of cancer & heart-attack. The book included lab. studies on rats which showed they are much more active on a vegetarian diet, than a high-protein diet. Here's an explanation from Wikipedia "... consuming diets high in protein and fat transfers calories away from their conversion into body heat to their storage form as body fat." On sensitivity to cow-milk, Wikipedia explained, "... autoimmune diseases are more prevalent among people who live at higher geographic latitudes, and also among people who consume a diet high in animal protein, particularly cow's milk. ... Vitamin D is important for the proper regulation of the immune system, and that for people who live at higher geographic latitudes, a lack of exposure to ultraviolet sunlight can result in a deficiency. The consumption of animal protein, especially casein in cow's milk, results in higher concentrations of calcium in the blood, which inhibits the process by which the body activates vitamin D in the kidneys to a form that helps repress the development of autoimmune diseases.[21] Here is a link that might be useful: The China Study book by Dr. Campbell This post was edited by Strawberryhill on Tue, Jan 14, 14 at 9:44...See MoreAnyone else having this blasted heatwave?
Comments (26)Eileen, a toddler can drown in just a few inches of water. Their brains are not necessarily developed enough to tell when their faces are underwater, and they're often too top-heavy to easily get themselves out of water when they've fallen in. Unless a yard is securely fenced with locked gates, standing water should not be left unattended. Lido, unless you're moving around quickly outside try out the new Off! Clip-On. No DEET, no smell, nothing on your skin. We live close to wetlands and a small river, compounded by all the people who leave their kiddie pools full of water, so the mosquitos and other water-reproducing insects like blackflies are just horrible. We've had very good results from the Clip-On. Save your receipt in case it doesn't work for you. The active ingredient Picaridin (Cutter Advanced, GoReady) is considered safer by some than DEET, and it doesn't stink; it's recommended over DEET by the WHO. (The World Health Organization, not the band!) Although it's relatively new in the US it's been used for more than a decade in Europe and Australia. Permethrin is ineffective when applied to the skin, but you can spray it on clothing and shoes, tents, etc.; there are some questions as to its safety with long-term exposure to large amounts and it is HIGHLY toxic to fish and cats. For the all-natural stuff, Lemon Eucalyptus is the only plant-based substance recommended by the CDC as a mosquito and tick repellent applied to the skin, with effectiveness comparable to a 7% DEET formula, but some people find other substances to be just as effective. You may have to try a few different natural repellents to find one that gets along with your body chemistry - what works well for one person often doesn't work at all for another, which is attributed to differences in body chemistry the same way perfume can smell very different on two people. They do need to be reapplied much more frequently, sometimes lasting as little as an hour, and they're very strong-smelling. Do know that the essential oils the natural repellents are based on can cause photosensitivity and skin reactions like rashes - "natural" does not mean "safe" - and sunscreens can dilute the repellent. Also, do not use it if you have pet birds or cuddly cats, or wash it off before coming into contact with them, as both species are very sensitive to essential oils....See MoreMeghane
