Once a month should do it.
Do you have any tried and true Spring lawn care tips that you always follow?If you’ve been reading along with me for awhile, then you probably know that I kind of have a thing for finding new, helpful uses for basic supplies we all have around the house.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.Actually putting the plastic down in a way that will last and not allow any light in for the long haul was a little more challenging than it looks.
We had to lay down the plastic and carefully dig a trench about 4 inches deep all around the edges, then bury the edges of the plastic.Somehow, wind was still getting underneath, so we used a combination of some patches of dirt on top and some rounded bricks (to prevent tearing) to hold it down.
So far it seems to have done the trick!.So why does it need to stay down for several years?
