November 10, 2024 – How many of you know 27,000 trees are cut down every day just to make toilet paper (TP) ? Please consider a Honeycomb project called luxury 3-ply TP. For now, you’ll probably have to mail order from Honeycomb, Amazon or other web sites. It can come in a 24-roll container and the feeling in use is the same as regular TP. Help save our trees! Bamboo grows almost 100X faster than trees, ensuring a continuing supply, and it is biodegradable.
There’s always the concern about watering your container plants without overdoing it. Next spring when you put soil in a container, put a cotton ball in the bottom. If it’s a larger pot, mix several in with the soil. They’ll help retain moisture and create air pockets for roots to breath.
Don’t throw out that old garden hose. You can punch holes in it and use it for a lawn/garden sprinkler next year. Also, it’s still a great siphoning tool, bucket handle replacement, and protective padding for sharp edged items.
Picked vegetables immediately begin to lose nutritional value, which continues through shipping, handling, and sitting in a grocery store. Vegetables immediately frozen have their nutrient locked in and are as fresh as when picked. They’re washed, prepped, available year-around, won’t go bad in a few days, and are ready to cook when the package is opened.
Some 16,425 tree species out of 47,282 (80% of the total documented species) studied are at risk of going extinct. More than 5,000 of the 47,282 species are used for construction timber, and over 2,000 species are used for food, fuel, and medicine.
When washing vegetables, try sprinkling a little baking soda on a sponge. It works well, and you don’t need soap. Baking soda also works well in cleaning tea and coffee stains.
