the “swivel” type of peeler.
I usually share these ideas just basically as they pop into my head, with no rhyme or reason to it.Totally out-of-the-blue and just because, just as a blog post should be.
I picked up some.a few weeks ago to try out a trick I heard about, and it got me thinking… what else is this household staple good for?Well, I’ll tell ya!.
1)Add some to the bath for a relaxing soak for soar muscles.I think this is probably the most common use.. 2)On itchy skin or for bug bites: Dissolve a tablespoon of epsom salt in 1/2 cup of water, let it cool, and then spritz it on itchy skin or soak a cloth in it to make a soothing compress.. 3).
: Adding a few bags to the soil before planting can help replenish the magnesium levels in the soil, which have been depleted due to over-farming.. 4)Adding a tablespoon of epsom salt to the ground around a rose bush before watering each week is also supposed to help them grow faster and stronger.
(If only Chris hadn’t run over my rose bush with the lawn mower!).So that’s the plan of attack.
I’m feeling pretty good about it.Meanwhile, we’re still having a heck of a time keeping up with the weeds in the other half.. For the record, even with all of my weed killing strategies this year, I’m still kind of a wild flower/weed lover at heart.. I’m a little bit tempted to one day just let the whole property go au naturel and see what happens.
Look at these pretty pinky flowers that popped up!.OK, we do have some actual veggies growing this year, but only very few so far.. One success is the pumpkins.
