I would like to add that I have not tried this mixture but have tried using vinegar before with varying results. But that was JUST vinegar in water. Forgot to use a surfactant for starters, that is to say something like dish soap. However, anything on the natural front must be better than using dangerous chemicals such as Round Up (glyphosate) which is but a cut-down version of Agent Orange (remember the stuff from Vietnam and what it did

Use this portable homemade sawbuck for securing logs to be cut into firewood. Sawbucks are devices for holding logs or branches that are being cut into firewood. They make the task safer and more efficient. I live on a city lot and needed a sawbuck that could fold up and store in a limited amount of space. I built it from salvaged 2-by-4s and scraps of plywood or particleboard. It can be made any size, depending upon your need.

by Michael Smith (Veshengro) This is a simple project that will save your books from dog ears and your cardboard packaging from the trash. Simply pull out your colorful cardboard packages, flatten them out and cut them into strips about 1 1/2" x 6". A paper cutter (guillotine) will give you a more consistent cut. Any size strip will do, really, as long as it fits in the book. It does not have to be as long as the book either, though some people think they need it that long.

Laundry soap is expensive! I walked down the soap aisle of a store as a young mother and just cried while looking at the prices of laundry detergent. It was so expensive for our tight budget! On top of price, we all have high allergies and soap is packed full of scents and stuff that we are allergic to. I felt defeated. Then a friend of mine mentioned she had made her own laundry soap. I was thrilled--I may have hugged her for joy!
