Thanks for the tip mimi. I buy mine by the large jug, I think it's a gallon, at The Dollar General/Family Dollar Store for $5. DH uses it all the time in the garage, but I'll def try it in the house!

Thanks again.

Wow, You are super productive! I see warm weather agrees with you. An aunt passed away 5 weeks ago, and her husband, by 2nd marriage, is pushing the family to get things out of the house. My time is being used helping my cousin. I wish I could be home babying my yard as much as you! 6 more days of school, and I will have more time to do the yard well! Dee

You have to use cooking oil. An aerosol oil won't work. It's designed to make oiling and flouring your baking pans easier and work better. It does an excellent job of this. I use a pastry brush to coat my pans. I made rolls yesterday and they came out beautifully. No icky shortening or oil on my hands or under fingernails and no sticky residue left on the pans. You'll love it.

I checked on it first thing this morning and it is looking much better! The leaves are a darker green and the yellowing has stopped progressing. Fingers crossed that it will stay in the path to recovery! I'm sorry I haven't been on much this month but between my insane amount of gardening, getting ready for nursing clinicals, and keeping the kids happy I have been very busy! thank you everyone for helping me along and wishing my plant well! My roses have been blooming like crazy!

Which is better for spraying 2, 4-D on lawns?

As reeljake said, with the wand you can spot spray individual plants and use much less product. Of course the product has to be diluted in the tank, so you cannot pour unused product back into the bottle. With the hose end the ability to spot spray is limited. You can spot spray a 30 square foot spot but not a 3 square inch spot. In my yard 30 square feet is close enough. 8-O

Years ago, when my DH worked with the Civilian conservation Corps...and used baseball type caps to identify people...White being for the leaders; I used that for washing his white caps all the time. Sprayed the cap outdors then took the hose and rinsed it and they came out great. He still wears them, but they are more easily washed in the washing machine these days.

I use it for laundry all the time too. It does a great job. If any of you have men that work where their jeans get greasy and dirty, it will get them looking pretty decent again. I buy mine from the Dollar General store, but, I am sure that it is probably sold most places.

Is this the same green soap I remember as a kid during the 50s. We used it on the farm for everything, including washing our hair. Bought at the grocery store. I'm going to head out and see if I can find some. Sounds like it has great potential for a lot of things.

I have been using it for years from the dollar store, I like simple green better I think it cleans better. Not fond of the smell of either.

I seem to have the most trouble with the grease spots I get from dribbles (such as salad dressing) on my cotton and polyester blend t-shirts. I have to rewash them often to get those spots. I guess I ought to try one or the other green cleaner.

Sheilajoyce, I use Oxyclean spray to pretreat laundry stains and it gets the grease and oil stains from foods out.
