Bad smell of WalMart top soil
Comments (7)Any soil, compost, or manure product you purchase in a store that smell offensive has been packaged too wet and in those plastic bags the anaerobic, and potentially disease causing, bacteria can go to work. If you are willing to use the stuff it is best to recompost it first, simply because of the possibilty of the presence of disease pathogens, not only those that can infect you but those that could infect your plants as well....See MoreWal Mart Story.....continued
Comments (10)Boy, I sure thought I posted this but I guess not. Step up to the plate and buy a real trimmer. Now, I'm not a stihl dealer, representative etc. But, I dealt with a weedeater brand GT15 trimmer for over 10 years. Yes, it did the job but any load at all put it under stress and caused it to bog down SEVERELY. I really had to slow way, way down and make sure the head was spinning at maximum RPM's for it to cut anything significant. I was in a bind this weekend and ended up spending a mere $139 bucks on a Stihl FS45 trimmer. I expected a little better performance but what I have experienced is absolutely unreal. I don't think I've cut with this thing wide open yet. Stihl's low end trimmer is more than I could have ever imagined. I can't ever see a homeowner needing anything else. Do yourself a favor and step up and buy something that is quality. I did and I'm glad. Hell, my weedeater lasted over 10 years. I'll probably be dead before my Stihl gives up the ghost (and I'm only 38 now) Good luck, Greg...See MoreFirst it was Wal Mart now Petco
Comments (46)When one WalMart is bad, do not blame all of the stores. Period! I work at a WalMart store in Oklahoma and its currently the largest Supercenter store in the state. Yes, thats right, I work in the Pets department overnight. This is a really tough decision on my work hours. I like working at nights, because it pays more, but I want to work during the day, because I want to be around more customers to teach them more about fishes. I stock the Pets department, but I do assist customers with fishes. Its a real challenge, because of right now, I am basically deaf without the use of my hearing aid and all my life, I've been wearing my hearing aid and was able to hear great as other people can, but there is a problem right now in my ear, so its tough. I can speak to people very clearly and I try to read their lips and when neccessary, I have them to write down on paper. All stores that sells fish are bound to have a dead fish here and there... thats perfectly normal. One night, this customer was an idiot, actually very rude somewhat. He wanted the entire tank of a specific fish that cost 5, 10, or 15 cents each (cant remember at the moment), so I went ahead to net out all of the fishes, but let one fish in the tank, because it had some kind of fungus. I told him that the one fish is bad. I went ahead to prepare the fishes into the bag and while I was doing that, he went ahead and netted the sick fish out and I tried to tell him, but he wouldnt listen and he put the sick fish in the bag. I went ahead to tie up the bag and note the price and amount of fishes, but I did not add the sick fish to the total price. While I was doing that, he went ahead to net up 4 dollars worth of goldfishes that costs 15 cents each and I told him that I will do that. He wouldnt listen and by the time he was finished, I prepared the fishes into the bag and then he went and got some more and put it in the bag. I tried to count the fishes in total and estimated it to be 50 fishes, which came to about $7.50. He wouldnt listen to me and he wanted things his way. There was this one night, I spent nearly an hour educating a lady on fishes and tank care. She ended up on picking two fancy goldfish and the alage eater that sticks to the tank glass. After everything was done, about an hour or so later, when I walked by the fish tanks, I noticed two bags in the sink. I was shocked, she changed her mind at the checkout. Made me furious. Its alot of stress a fishes to net them out and bag them. Another night, this guy wanted several fishes, which was divided up into two bags. After all was done, he came back about 15 minutes later, saying the prices on the bags came off, so I wrote it on the bags again. Later that night, my coworker brought the two bags back and dumped the fishes back into the tank. What is wrong with these customers?! Anywayz, I still work there and I still enjoy educating people on fishes and tank care. Just because there is a lazy associate at a store, the entire company should not be blamed. Its very simple to talk with the store manager about whatever. PetsMart is a good place and they have much more selections. WalMart is good, but not enough selections. Petsmart is generally more expensive but there are some fishes here and there thats cheaper than WalMart. There are PetCo stores in this state, but I have no clue where they are. I've seen commericals, but they failed to show the locations of the stores. So, I have no clue about PetCo. Anywayz, all of these stores sell good and healthy fishes with top technology fish tanks. It all comes down to the services of each associates for each stores....See MoreTomato Plants In Wal-Mart in western North Texas
Comments (6)Of course it made sense. I usually put them outside whenever the temperatures are 50 degrees or above, day or night. I have to be really careful about not forgetting and letting them stay outside at night. Sometimes we have these amazingly hot winter and early spring days that still are followed by cold nights. Remember when you first take them outside, if they have been raised indoors they must be hardened off first or sunburn and windburn can kill them in one day. I harden off indoor seedings for 1 hour the first day, 2 the second day, etc. The plants I bought at Wal-Mart today look nice and hardened-off already, so I'll keep them outside as much as I possibly can so they don't lose the ability to tolerate the sun and wind. I have them on the sun porch right now where they are enjoying watching it rain. If we're warm enough tomorrow, I'll put them out in the sun. The first tomato of the year is so wonderful, and I love it even more when I'm picking it and we're eating it in April instead of June. Last year it warmed up so fast in February that I planted four of the early tomato plants in a large, round stock tank 4' in diameter that was too big to carry indoors. It was a leap of faith to do that, but it paid off and those plants gave us ripe fruit from April through August or September. I don't know if I'll be that brave two years in a row, though....See Moreazzalea
