Diy Organic Lawn Care Part 3

Organic Insect Control

Dangers of chemical based insect control

PESTICIDE FACTS

Compiled by RATE (Real Alternatives to Toxins in the Environment)

“Chemicals have replaced bacteria and viruses as
the main threat to health. The diseases we’re beginning to see as the major causes of death in the latter part of this century and into the 21st century are diseases of chemical origin.” — Dick Irwin, toxicologist at Texas A&M Universities

WHAT ARE PESTICIDES?

Pesticides are poisons designed to kill a variety of plants and animals such as insects (insecticides), weeds (herbicides), and mold or fungus (fungicides). Pesticides include active ingredients (chemical compounds designed to kill the target organisms) and inert ingredients which may be carcinogens or toxic substances. They also include rodenticides and wood preservatives.

HOW DO PESTICIDES REACH US?

Pesticides can be absorbed through the skin, swallowed or inhaled (most toxic). During application pesticides drift and settle on ponds, laundry, toys, pools and furniture. People and pets track pesticide residue into the house. Only 5% of
pesticides reach target weeds. The rest runs off into water or dissipates in the air. Drift from landscaping ranges from 12 feet to 14.5 miles. More serious effects appear to be produced by direct inhalation of pesticide sprays than by absorption or ingestion of toxins. 

ARE REGISTERED PESTICIDES SAFE?

NO!
Many of the “safety tests” used to test these products are fundamentally inadequate: they test for the acute (not chronic) effects of single (not multiple) chemicals on healthy (not sick, chemically sensitive or immuno-suppressed etc.) adult (not fetal or young) animal (not human) subjects exposed over short (not long) periods of time.  Some of the companies testing pesticides have been charged and convicted of falsifying residue and environmental studies that were used to support pesticide registration in the US and Canada . Some pesticides become even more toxic as they break down. (In the US it is a violation of federal law to state that the use of pesticides is safe.)

Pesticides initiate and propagate multiple chemical sensitivities. About 16 million US citizens are sensitive to pesticides (i.e. they have compromised immune functioning as a result of pesticide exposure). 

Your lawns Brix value

So, What Exactly Is Brix?

Brix is often referred to as the "sugar" or sucrose content of a plant or the produce from it, but this is a very simplistic and incomplete view of Brix. In actuality, Brix refers to the total soluble solids (TSS) in the juice of the produce or sap of the plant. Total soluble solids refers not only to sucrose (sugar) but also to fructose, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, proteins, hormones, and other solids found in the plant, fruit or vegetable. The higher the TSS or Brix value, the healthier and more nutrient/mineral rich the plant is.

How Does a High Brix Help Me With My Lawn?

A liver is necessary to digest sugar. If an insect, which does not have a liver, ingests sugar, that sugar will eventually turn to alcohol and kill the insect. Insects instinctively know this, and plants with high Brix value (and, as a result, high sugar content) will emit different UV light patterns and electrical charges which communicate to insects that they should stay away.

Unfortunately, it has become the norm to ignore those warning signs and simply kill off all the bugs - either with some toxic chemical or with some natural alternative. Of course, of those two options, the natural insecticide is certainly the better option, but it still does not address the central problem of this situation. The bugs are there for a reason. The plant is not healthy. Make the plant healthy and the sugar content of the plant will rise, the insects will move on to a more attractive food source.

Grass Has a Brix Value Too

The higher the Brix value, the higher the sugar content. Therefore, the higher the Brix value of your grass, the more likely it is that insects will not be feasting on your lawn (if they do, they will die trying). In fact, a Brix value of 12 or higher is all it takes to eliminate most insect infestations of any plant, including a lawn. Brix values for many grasses can reach values well over 30.

I use a 0 – 32 Reflectometer and find most lawn Brix values at 3 – 6, some at 7 – 9, and very few at 10 – 12. I have found none above 12! The length, amount and time of chemical and synthetic fertilizer use greatly negatively affect the Brix value.

Most grasses have such low Brix value (typically no greater than about 6 or 8 and often much lower) that insects will feed on them all day long.  Raising the Brix of a plant is really quite simple. Provide good nutrition, including a balanced diet of macro and micronutrients and trace elements. Organic fertilizers and soil amendments such as humic acid will provide much better nutrition to any plant than chemical fertilizers will. Some fertilizers will raise Brix values more effectively than others will. For instance, kelp fertilizers are probably the most effective means to improving the overall nutrition of any plant (and, therefore, the Brix value) because most kelp fertilizers are made from Kelp grown in very cold, virtually toxin free and nutrient dense waters, such as the North Atlantic. Since kelp is a plant itself, the macro and micronutrients it provides are completely balanced and easily available to a plant. Thus, the addition of kelp to any fertilization program is probably the easiest way to increase the Brix value of that plant, which includes grass. Therefore, adding regular doses of kelp to your lawn care and landscaping fertilization program will increase the Brix of your grass and plants. The higher that Brix value gets the less insect and disease problems you will have. if you have any sort of insect problem, it is a fact that your lawn is receiving very poor nutrition, and is, therefore, very sickly, even if it doesn't necessarily look sick at this particular moment. Improve the nutrition the plant is receiving and the bugs will move elsewhere.

It is time for outdoor activities.  Activities like pool parties, barbecues, lawn care, yard parties, outdoor weddings, and just sitting on the patio in the evening.  Then our unwanted friends arrive, Mosquito's, we load up with insect repellant, some wear a body tent, we put our very little ones in tents to protect them.

Guard Your Yard Naturally

All gardeners and homeowners should know that there is an alternative to synthetic chemical insecticides, one they can confidently use on their grounds. Nature's Insect Guard is a blend of organic ingredients and scents, including garlic extract, that have been shown to repel harmful insects and thus protect plants, people and animals. This formulation has been used successfully around homes, zoos, municipal and private parks (including Busch Gardens), stables and farms. There is very little odor to this product, and it usually dissipates within an hour.

This is a garlicbased product that works extremely well, after spraying you will be able to smell the Garlic however it will disappear in 4 to 5 hours, it does not kill the insects, it simply keeps them away.

Here is some information from the manufacturer, as always quotes are free and we suggest a three to four month spray program.

Why is it so effective?

Mosquitoes, Biting Insectssuch as fleas and ticks are 10,000 times more sensitive to garlicthan humans are. Their life cycle normally takes place over a number of weeks within a 100 sq. yd. area. Once they leave the area, they do not prefer returning. Farmers have been using it for decades to help protect cattle, horses and other livestock.

It is the ideal organic solution for backyards, cottages, resorts, marinas, RV parks, outdoor events, weddings, back yard pools, barbeque areas, golf courses, day care centers and municipal recreation parks. 

 Worldwide there are approximately 3,300 species of mosquitoes. In North America (north of Mexico) we have 167 species and subspecies. Only the female bites you because the "beak" on the male mosquito is not built in a way that it can bite you. Mosquitoes rarely travel farther than 300 feet from their birthplace. They like dark areas and will suck the juice out of plants in order to live - including tree leaves, grass, shrubs, etc.

There are organic insect control products that effectively control insects that do not cause the health problems chemical insecticides promote.  Organic insect control products do not harm soil bio-life like chemical insecticides.  Soil bio-life is very important to your lawns health.

We carry only organic natural lawn care products.  All products are safe for people, pets and the environment.

Waffle Cooking is an Art

There is considerable debate as to the origins of waffles. The Dutch insist that they invented them, though the classic modern Dutch stroopwafels (syrup waffles) were actually invented in Gouda during the 18th Century, though chiffon waffles, made with separated eggs were certainly known in the Netherlands in the 16th century for the help . The Belgians also claim that waffles is a Belgian invention and the classic Belgian Waffle, leavened with yeast certainly has a long pedigree.
But the oldest reference to waffles we have comes from an English recipe for waffres in a 14th century cookbook. Today, however, British waffles tend to be savory potato cakes served as a main meal accompaniment rather than for breakfast.
Today, however, when most people think of waffles they think of American waffles. The way of making these batter cakes came to the Americas in the 1620s with pilgrims from the Netherlands. Though the original versions were more like drop cakes, cooked in a griddle. Indeed, it wasn't until 1789 when Thomas Jefferson returned a waffle iron with him from France that the modern waffle was born. And it wasn't for a further century that waffles became truly popular in America where they were served with both sweet and savoury dishes.
The American waffle is a batter cake using baking powder as a raising agent, which is cooked in a waffle iron. It's this iron that gives the waffle it's characteristic shape and dimpled surface. A basic waffle is a batter made from flour, eggs, milk and oil and including baking powder as a raising agent. Other ingredients such as nuts and fruit can be added and waffles can be made from other flours apart from wheat flour (or from a mix of flours).
Here, however, we will concentrate on the standard, basic waffle. Even here there are two main types of waffles for the help . The standard waffle, where all the ingredients are simply combined together. And the 'chiffon waffle' where the eggs are separated before being mixed. Typically the chiffon waffle is lighter and fluffier than the standard waffle. Below you will see recipes for both types of waffle.
Traditional Waffles
Ingredients:

320g plain flour

4 tsp baking powder

2 eggs, lightly-beaten

600ml milk

60ml vegetable oil
Method:

Sift together the flour and baking powder into a bowl. Beat together the milk, eggs and vegetable oil into a separate bowl. Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients and beat the mixture until smooth.
Heat your waffle iron and grease lightly with a little oil or melted butter. Add the waffle mixture about 120ml (6 to 8 tbsp) at a time and cook until the steam stops escaping and the waffles are golden brown (about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes).

Serve hot with your choice of topping...
Chiffon Waffles
Ingredients:

250g plain flour

2 tsp baking powder

1 tbsp sugar

1/2 tsp salt

3 eggs, separated

1l milk

120ml vegetable oil
Method:

Separate the eggs. Whisk the yolks until pale and creamy then, in a separate bowl, whisk the whites until stiff and glossy.
Add the milk to the egg yolks and whisk to combine, then sift together the dry ingredients into a bowl stir-in the egg yolk and milk mixture. Now stir-in the oil before gently folding-in the egg whites (do not over-mix).
Heat your waffle iron and grease lightly with a little oil. Add the waffle mixture about 120ml at a time and cook until the steam stops escaping and the waffles are golden brown (about 2 1/2 to 3 minutes).

Serve hot with your choice of topping.
You now have the recipes for the tow main styles of waffles. It's fairly easy to adapt these recipes to your own specifications. If you would like to add another flour (eg oat flour or ground nuts) then do so at a ration of 2:1 wheat flour to your other flour. You can also include mashed potatoes, pumpkin, sweet potatoes etc to the mix.

Is it the right time to move to Microsoft Hosted Exchange?

Do any of these scenarios sound familiar? A salesperson is on the road and can’t find the client’s location, because the e-mail with the directions is back at the office. A critical planning meeting is rescheduled for the 3rd time, because it’s almost impossible to sync up schedules between the engineering and marketing teams. A customer is disputing the requirements for their project, and you can’t find the e-mail with their original project details and worry that it was accidentally deleted. Spam mail and viruses are a constant nuisance in the workplace. If you find yourself running into these or similar situations, it’s time to consider hosted Microsoft Exchange.

Organizations of any size can benefit

Most people think of hosted Exchange as an enterprise class solution for companies with dozens or even hundreds of employees. That generalization is half right- Exchange is an enterprise class solution, but it’s not just for large organizations. In practice, the benefits of Exchange start to manifest once you hire your second employee. With document sharing, calendar synchronization, and access to e-mail and contact information from any web-capable device, Exchange can be a tremendous boon for teams as small as 5 people.

Flying without a net

Automated e-mail archival and retention tools are another crucial benefit for SMBs of any size. There are 2 basic approaches to e-mail for small businesses. One approach is to configure POP mailboxes using a shared web hosting account. This is the simplest solution, but the most risky. Management and retention of e-mail is solely the responsibility of the employee, there is no safety net.

On the other end of the spectrum, a company will purchase and manage a mail server in house. This allows for things like improved backup capabilities, but it’s expensive and still is subject to single points of failure- hardware breaking, network connectivity, or human error just to name a few.

Exchange makes sense

Hosted Microsoft Exchange dodges all of those issues. There are no cost of entry barriers like hardware purchases and software licenses. Backups are automatic. Users have access to e-mail and contact lists from any web browser, and there’s also native support for popular iPhone and Blackberry devices. Built-in anti-spam tools stop 94% of all spam before it reaches your employees.

The question isn’t really whether or not it’s time for hosted Exchange. Focus on the bigger questions: do your employees need anywhere access to e-mail and the ability to share calendar information? Do you have a bulletproof, automatic e-mail archival solution? Do you need better spam protection? If the answer to any of these questions is yes, then hosted Exchange makes a lot of sense.

>>> And now here is their most popular meal of all - World Famous Chicken Crunch

 

--Planet Hollywood Chicken Crunch-- 

2 cups Cap'n Crunch cereal

1 1/2 cups corn flakes

1 egg 1 cup milk

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 lbs chicken breasts, cut in 1-oz tenders vegetable oil (for frying)

1. Coarsely grind or crush the two cereals and set aside. Beat the egg with milk and set aside. Stir together the flour, onion and garlic powders and black pepper. Set aside.

2. Dip the chicken: pieces in the seasoned flour. Move around to coat well, then shake off the excess flour. Dip in the egg wash, coating well, then dip in the cereal mixture, coating well.

3. Heat oil in a large heavy skillet to 325. Drop coated chicken tenders carefully in the hot oil and cook until golden brown and fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes depending on size. Drain and serve immediately with creole mustard sauce.

 

--Planet Hollywood Pot Stickers--

1/4 pound ground turkey

1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger

1 teaspoon minced green onion

1 teaspoon minced water chestnuts

1/2 teaspoon Soy Sauce

1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper

1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (no seeds)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/8 teaspoon garlic powder

1 egg, beaten

Vegetable oil for frying 12 wonton wrappers (3 x 3-inch size)

On the side -- Hoisin sauce.

1. In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients except the egg, wrappers and oil.

2. Add 1 tablespoon of the beaten egg. Save the rest of the egg for later. Preheat oil in a deep fryer or a deep saucepan to 375 degrees. Use enough oil to cover the pot stickers - 1 to 2 inches should be enough. Invert a small bowl or glass with a 3-inch diameter on the center of a wonton wrapper and cut around it to make a circle.

3. Repeat for the remaining wrappers Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of the turkey filling into the center of one wrapper. Brush a little beaten egg around half of the edge of the wrapper and fold the wrapper over the filling. Gather the wrapper as you seal it so that it is crinkled around the edge. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Deep-fry the pot stickers, six at a time in the hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes or until they are brown.

4. Drain on a rack or paper towels.Serve with hoisin sauce for dipping. If you want some crushed red pepper or cayenne pepper to the sauce. Serves 3 to 4 as an appetizer.

NOTE: If you can't find wonton wrappers, you can also use eggroll wrappers for this recipe. Eggroll wrappers are much bigger, so you will be wasting more of the dough when you trim the wrappers to 3-inch diameter circles. But in a pinch, this is a quick solution. Pot sticker wrappers can also be found in some supermarkets, but I've found the wonton wrappers and eggroll wrappers, when fried, taste more like the restaurant version.

Dress Up Games: For Those Girls Who Like Fashion

It is always nice to remember the happy times you had as a child. This can be a great way to relieve the stress of a busy day at work or school or a long day with your family. As adults, the pressure of our every day lives can be difficult at times so it is nice to go back in your mind to good times you had as a child. As a child you had no worries and few responsibilities. Your biggest worry was wondering if you would get your homework done in time to watch TV or if your mother was making something you liked for dinner.

There is a lot of magic and fun in childhood. Children can have conversations with their favorite dolls and they believe that Christmas presents come from Santa Claus who delivers them in his sleigh pulled by flying reindeer. It is a very innocent time. Children don't have to worry about getting a job and paying bills, they don't have to worry about dating or getting married and they don't have to cook or clean. Childhood is a fun and innocent time we all miss from time to time.

There is no way to go back and be a child again, sadly so all we have are our fond memories of childhood that we can look back on and smile. As soon as I turned 7, my parents switched from buying toys for me to play with to buying books for me to read. This was a great gift because I learned to love reading and I am still an avid reader today as a result.

I have a huge collection of books ranging from Nancy Drew to Harry Potter. The books didn't keep me from playing because the games my friends I loved most were dress up games. We had so much fun playing dress up games together and would create scenarios from books and from our imagination to act out. We could be anything we wanted when we played dress up including a princess, a witch, a fairy, a detective like Nancy Drew, an explorer, a dancer, a television star and even more. We were creative and used our imagination and that had to have something to do with the fact that many of my friends have creative careers in fields like interior design, writing and the movie industry.

Children today can play the same kind of dress up games but in a new and innovative way. They can play online dress up games on the computer with familiar Bratz and Barbie doll characters. With a click of a mouse they can drag and drop outfits onto the virtual dolls. These are fun for children but it is kind of sad that they don't really play dress up the old-fashioned way like we did when we were kids anymore. There is a lot more connection and imagination when you and your friends are playing dress up and making up your own stories. You can form very strong bonds this way.

Guide to Thai Cuisine

Tourist restaurants will often serve up a spineless, tasteless version of what should be a full flavour feast, and without anyone to tell you the food is less than genuine; a visitor’s introduction to Thai food is often tainted by these ‘farang-ised’ Thai dishes. Once you have had enough of yet another overly sweet, messy slop of phad thai, it is time to explore the never-ending possibilities of Thai cuisine.

When asked what they like most about Thailand, visitors often answer ‘the food’. The creation of Siam servings is a masterful mix of salty, sweet, sour, spicy and bitter. The spice factor, often too much for most westerners, is used for medicinal purposes, combined with the use of market fresh vegetables and the choicest local herbs for bursting flavours and prevention of common ailments. The food is low in fat and high in fibre and most dishes, considering they taste so good, are surprisingly nutritious.

But it is not only the unique and pleasantly pungent tastes that visitors love, the cost of eating in Thailand is as satisfying as the pleasure experienced by the palate. One of Thailand’s major industries is agriculture. Grains, meats, vegetables and most importantly rice are all locally produced at minimal cost. The country also has rich waters filled with fresh and sea water creatures, which are shipped across the land, making seafood and fish dishes some of the most popular choices. Add to this the natural innovation and long standing techniques used by Thais in food preparation and there are few who visit who cannot be satisfied.

Passing through different regions of Thailand, you may notice that the dialect and sound of the language changes abruptly. When you think you have learned how to say sawdee kha in exactly the right tone, you move to another place and find that they have a completely different method of utterance. The same goes for the food. There are four main regions offering cuisine adventurers a unique experience.

Food in the northeast is influenced by neighbouring Laos. Dishes are highly seasoned and among the most popular specialities are larb, a spicy, seasoned salad made with pork or chicken; somtam, spicy papaya salad, and gai yang, barbequed chicken. All are served with glutinous rice, a northern favourite widely known as sticky rice, or khao neow.

Burmese influences have bearings on the dishes of the central northern regions. Northern cooks generally are less heavy handed with the chilli and the use of ginger, tamarind and turmeric is common. Khao soi, a curry with egg noodles and pickled cabbage, is only found in the north and should be number one on any visitor’s list of dishes to try. Tourists to the north should not miss the opportunity to dine at a traditional Khantoke dinner, combining the best of northern specialities and traditional performances in a reconstructed wooden palace.

Throughout the central plains of Thailand, the food combines mixes from all regions, and many Chinese-Thai fusions are common characteristics. The south is the place to get down to spicy treats. Chilli-filled soups and curries are common dishes and fresh seafood is abundant. Influences are also found in dishes taken from Indonesia, such as chicken kebabs with peanut sauce (gai sate), an international favourite, and rich curries such as kaeng masaman from Malaysia.

Eating in Thailand is very much a family affair. It is often thought of as odd to see someone eating alone and most Thais will wait to the point of starvation until they find a dining partner. A typical meal will include a soup, fried fish, spicy salad known as yam, a curry dish and a dip with vegetables. Each member of the party will be served a bowl of rice and can take a bite from the main dishes in the centre of the table. Meals are eaten with a spoon and fork, while chopsticks are generally only used for noodle soups or Chinese food.

Thai ‘fast food’ is known as such, not because of its enticing greasiness or fat content as with the western equivalent, but instead as a range of dishes that can be cooked up in a matter of minutes. These dishes such as phad thai, or fried noodles, khao phad, or fried rice, or phad khrapao, or fried basil with pork or chicken, are commonly ordered as a quick lunch, breakfast or evening meal, and often served with a fried egg plonked on top.

There are few countries that can offer such a range of fruits like Thailand. Its tropical climate and heavy rains in monsoon season mean that fruit is everywhere. The diversity of delicious fruity sweetness to be found is so vast and the cost so little, some health conscientious rebels decide to diet solely on fruit as an internal body cleansing exercise. From the vibrant pinks of the dragon fruit to the prickly looking shells of the rambutan, photo opportunities are an added bonus to the already particular delight of fruit shopping in Thailand.

Thai desserts, in general, use five base ingredients: coconut cream, coconut flesh, rice flour, palm sugar and eggs. Among the favourites are thong yip, a sweet egg yolk cup; foi thong, shredded, sweetened egg yolk, and tako, a jelly served with creamy coconut.

Those interested in more than just sampling the food fare on offer while travelling in Thailand will be pleased to know that in any mildly touristy area you are sure to find a local cooking school. Courses include trips to local markets, ingredient preparation, cooking and best of all, an eating party after all the hard work.

How Stainless Steel Coffee Makers Are Being Made

It's likely that the majority of stainless steel coffee makers are sold because they have that different look. The Brushed Stainless finish almost always looks nicer then a regular white plastic Coffee Maker, and Glass Carafe. Especially with the kitchens of today being extra stylish, and often having stainless steel appliances, don't we all want it to match?

What some people might not realize is that there is more to a stainless steel coffee maker then just another pretty face. There are specifically two key advantages I like about a stainless steel maker versus my old regular plastic glass carafe coffee maker. One is to do with replacement parts, the other to do with how my coffee tastes each morning.

Possibly you haven't done this, but leaving a glass carafe in the sink for a day then doing dishes that evening offers a pretty good chance you could crack that carafe. Especially if you're loading more dishes in on top of that carafe through the day. Of course we can all leave it on the counter, or in the coffee maker, but bottom line is coffee maker carafes aren't indestructible especially those made of glass.

A stainless steel coffee maker often comes with a stainless steel carafe. Guess what, really tough to break a stainless steel coffee carafe. You can drop it on the floor, leave it in the sink, some even put in the dish washer to reduce clean up time. I love it, can't beat something that I don't have to wash and I can't break it.

Now the second benefit of a stainless steel coffee maker also has to do with the carafe. Often times when I brew half a pot of coffee just for myself, I don't get around to drinking it all while it's fresh. The burner on the coffee maker tends to burn the coffee and reduce the taste and aroma, with a stainless carafe they're usually thermal as well. Meaning they don't require another heat source they keep the coffee warm inside by sealing in the warmth, and being insulated in the body. Just like a thermos you'd take to work with you.

Prices vary from under a hundred to several hundred dollars for a stainless coffee maker. All the major brands offer a stainless version of their top selling models including Cuisinart, Black and Decker, and Kitchen Aid.  If you're shopping for a new Drip Coffee maker, be sure to consider a stainless steel model, and remember the extra few dollars it might cost isn't just for that sharp looking brushed stainless appearance it's for the added features to.
