| RE: Using Yeast in a Bread Machine |
|
I have been making homemade bread for years. I know that regular yeast works very well in these recipes. If the recipe does not specify rapid rise yeast, don't use it. It will give the bread a fluffier texture. There are recipes for bread machine use. Try them out before you start making changes. ... View related article. |

| RE: Reseeding Lawn After Killing Weeds |
|
If you plan to reseed do not use salt and vinegar. Those items will damage existing grass and future grass seedlings. Fall is the proper time to seed your lawn with cool season grasses like blue grass and fescue. The young grass grows over the winter and in early summer you can apply a broadleaf weed killer over the whole area. Broadleaf weed killers do not affect the grass. ... View related article. |

| RE: Using Composite Wood Decking |
My husband and I have two decks built using Choice Deck.
They were built last year and are working very well. They have a wood grain which has caught some dirt and mildew. It is a surface issue which will surely wash right off. In the bright sun, it does get warm but not bad. The boards do not change shape or sag. We are very happy with them. ... View related article. |

| RE: Improving Clay soil/Sandy soil |
|
I am not sure that gypsum is the answer. You need organic material and possibly sand mixed with that clay. It may take a while to get enough organic material to do the job. Depending on how much soil you need to improve, you may want to get shredded leaves by the truck load. On the other hand, peat moss is much more manageable but costs a good bit. How do you mix it in? I recommend a tiller. Rent one or hire a neighbor. Do a soil test for PH while you are at it. You have a low PH and may want to raise it with the addition of lime when you till. Different plants require different PH. Peony needs a higher PH than you have. Where I live, in Southern Maryland, holly, mountain laurel, dog wood and the like thrive in acid soil. ...

| RE: Son's eyes red and itchy after showering. |
your son's asthma and seasonal allergies are a huge problem with or without this additional problem. I wonder if he can be reacting to chlorine or something else in the water.
I used to have allegies myself but found out that a large dose of Vitamin C daily eliminated the allegies. It is called "bowel tolerance" level of C. You can research this on the internet. ... View related article. |
