Biography
We manage a 40 acre wildlife area of the Texas Hill Country in the Edwards Plateau at about 3030 ft above sea level. The region is notable for its karst topography and tall rugged hills of limestone. The terrain throughout the region is punctuated by a thin layer of topsoil and a large number of exposed rocks and boulders, making the region very dry and prone to flash flooding. Native vegetation in the region includes various yucca, prickly pear cactus, native grasses and wildflowers. The predominant trees in the region are Ashe Juniper, Shin Oak and Texas Live Oak. Soil is alkaline consisting of caliche and clay.

Try planting French Marigolds in specific spots as squirrels might not like their smell.
I used to know a guy who had a live trap that he trapped the squirrels and carried them off to the country.

Squirrels are not a problem where I live as they are few and we enjoy their antics.

If your soil is low in calcium, (which mine is not) then eggs will add calcium to your soil.

What other benefits will soil get from eggs?

I feel the pest/predeter attraction is not worth that.

I know what Welch's Grape juice and yeast taste like.

What does Hard Lemonade taste like? sweet or sour?

Skeeter Pee aka Lemon Wine:



Is this the same as Hard Lemonade?

Sometimes dandruff is caused by dry skin on the scalp.  Are you sure it is dandruff and not dry skin?  and those treatments you used are not for dry skin.

As Ali suggested it could be your water.

My water is alkaline and causes dry skin.

Or it might be the brand of shampoo.  Try one for dry skin or try going pooless (without shampoo) and using bottled water.

Why would you feel chestnut would be a risk in the kitchen?

I have the same list for our 200 miles trip to the big city once a month.

Then I add to that list thing needed or wanted.

I also have the Aisle number so we don't walk all over the store looking for stuff.

I go to the aisle and get the thing listed on that aisle.

I feel having a list helps save me money as there are few impulse buys.

Our latest impulse buy has been $10 cooler bags which were then filled with all the frozen or refrigerated items.

Unfortunately a can of biscuits did not quite make it home so we had biscuits for dinner....

I plan meals by opening the freezer and taking out the first item that I find interesting ...

I would suggest this was something fungal since these plants are all in the same family.

I don't know of a solution.
