I have the best success with bean family plants if I put them somewhere besides my garden. My garden has good soil, and they hate good soil.

I love Castile soap on my skin for its natural oils. But, oils hold in smells, and do not get cloth diapers clean like a detergent. Try a cheap plain detergent(1/2 the recommended amount) with no extra stuff in it, especially not fabric softener; follow with a vinegar rinse and boiling. This will take out all the oils which trap bacteria and make ammonia smells. It can't hurt to try if you want to keep using cloth.

If they are still not clean, maybe you need to purchase some new diapers? I know mine where done after 12 months. There was no way I could get them clean again. They began to hold bacteria and gave my daughter terrible diaper rashes.

Does it really get the ammonia smell out?!?!?!
I just washed my diapers on hot three times with castille soap and then a rinse with borax and they still smell! Is there anyway to actually get rid of the ammonia smell? I am almost ready to quit at this point...

Happy Mother's Day to you Alexandra! My children also asked me a similar question, but in German!

Love to you and your family.

I am always so encouraged by your research into the past. Sometimes I think we have lost so much--I love resurrecting lots of it myself--thanks in part to your hard work.

Blessings to you!

Hello,

It's a referral site to gift cards. I've tried it a few times, but GCG seems to have too many ebay listings for gift cards. I find it difficult to get good deals on ebay for the gift cards. It's easier for me to just get alerts from the gift card sites for my favorite stores. Some of them you have to jump on fast! I use Rite Aid for my prescriptions, and this is one discounted gift card which sells out quickly. Walgreen cards are much easier to find.

2012-05-06T13:10:35.776-04:00

What a great and timely post for me! Have you used Gift Card Granny? That was the only one that I had ever heard of before, but I have been a bit nervous about using without hearing more about them. If you have used them, did you have problems with them (since you don't mention them)?

Update: My tween dd is having success with the Crisco over the OTC stuff.

She likes that it is 'fragrance-free' and that it's actually helping.

She was told to not eat FRIED Foods by a nutrition specialist Chiropractor friend of ours. That also seems to be helping. But I couldn't tell you why.

Thank you :) We always get tiny little ants in the kitchen when the warm weather comes, from one point as well. I will have to try this.

Hello,

"how often do you have to apply it?"

About once a week or more on the cat. I watch for scratching and use a flea comb to determine whether I need to reapply.

"and how and where do you use it in your home for ants?"

I use it when I see the ants. It's pretty predictable in the spring. They have their favorite entry points in our home. If I see them, I put down a line of DE along the area they come in, which is along a kitchen wall and the front door.

I wanted to share something my dh's Brazilian friend suggested.

Coffee, regualar coffee in a sprayer.

My brother and I discovered a wasp nest starting up near our garage and we gave it a try. They died in seconds.

And I have re-thought my coffee drinking habit.

That's also what I heard. It's too bad because it's just in the dining-area, which is part of the living-room. Maybe one of these days after we have painted the house from outside and fixed the water problem in the basement.
