Why is it that some go bannanas over coffee grounds as a soil amendment?
Am I missing something? I mean sure, they make a fine amendment and using them for the soil is preferable to using them in a landfill, but it seems some actually take the trouble to go to starbucks or elsewhere to get a free, small bag of them. Why? Is there any way in which coffee grounds offer more benefit to anything than say grass, leaves, grains purchased in bulk, manures etc. In other words given the ease of obtaining large quantities of many other excellent soil amendments, why are some going through the trouble of aquiring coffee grounds in rather small quantities? |

They are extremely appealing to red wigglers, so if you are into vermiculture, that's one reason. They are also a great addition to compost and composters are an eager, aggressive bunch and seemingly will go to great lengths to acquire freebies for their compost pile. They also make a very nice, free, organic amendment for acid loving plants. I don't go out of my way to obtain them, but if I am visiting my local Starbucks and they have a few bags available, one or more will go home with me. |

My nearest $bux (and there arent any indie coffee houses on my end of the boonies) happens to not bag their grounds. A guy was getting them regularly for his garden. Seems like hes quit for the season. Ive asked a few times, and one of the employees is a bit more entertained by my crazy than the other usual guy, but Adam (finally learned his name) came to the door with the bagged grounds as I was getting ready to leave tonight (it was nice enough to sit outside) So yeah, Adam has a special place in my heart! Ive already promised the guys and gals some tomaters next summer! I get a good 10+ lbs most times I go. I am a coffee shop kinda gal, and theres not much else going on in the evenings on my end of town (ok, sportsbars) I also like free stuff that stays out of the waste stream. |
People who do see spectacular results by adding coffee grounds to their soil probably do not have a good healthy soil and any addition of organic matter helps. Since the nearest Starbucks, or any other coffee shop is 30 miles away and not on my normal travel route its not someplace I would go normally and to expensive to make special trips. Compost and shredded leaf mulches work quite well in my garden and when I do put some of my coffee grounds down I see little reaction from the soil dwellers. However there was a vast improvment in soil acitvity at church when I put the coffee grounds in a flower bed there, a flower bed that had no organic matter in it when I started. |
I use them on my acid loving shrubs for the acidifying effects and the worms. It does take a lot to "blue up" a Nikko Blue hydrangea though. |

ive read theyre nearly neutral, most of the acid comes out in the coffee- Ill have to get out my happy little pH paper and take a look.... |

During this season on my farm, I use lots of bags of strong smelling coffee grounds from local coffee shops, as a pest control and soil amendment. Slugs and snails and some worm pests are repelled or harmed by coffee grounds. |

good info folks, thanks. |
My reason for grabbing coffee grounds is they guarantee the compost will be HOT! -O |
garnetmoth, you read right.....used coffee grounds are practically neutral in their pH reaction. That's been a difficult myth to bust! |
U5, It's also one of the most convenient sources of nitrogen for me. I have very few lawn clippings because of droughts in our area. I get them in reasonably large hauls-probably 1/3 of a large garbage bag-from starbucks when I go to the movies. I do not always get coffee, sometimes I do, depends on if I want coffee. I ask them for the full bag so they don't have to re-bag it into the special 'grounds for the garden' bag which saves them time and I get more so it's win win. |

I may not be as clever as I like to hope, but the espresso pies made me get to wondering today, Id like to offically coin the phrase "Yuppie Manure" for used coffee grounds! I am a coffee drinker, and have been since like 8 yrs old (Imagine, i might have hit 6' without all that caffiene!) I mean it in all sillyness. Regular joes like joe too. its just really funny to me. I just got finished cooking a mostly manure pile, and I know it has its benefits- (Neighbors are really sweet and raise donkeys) but the stuff was DRY, and I really had to water to ever get it to cook. The coffee grounds come wet, so I think they start faster. I can feel the heat rising off the pile toady, didnt dig all the way in. |
Do you have any actual anylsis of the pH of them? |
- Posted by username_5 (My Page) on Thu, Nov 3, 05 at 22:05
Just for giggles and because I wanted to put the claim to the test I just tested my pot of coffee and the left over grounds using ph paper that indicates in the 4.5-7.5 range in 1/2 increments. The coffee was 5.0 and the grounds between 6.0 and 6.5 I would imagine there is some variability in the ph of the grounds based upon how much water is flushed through them. In this house we like our coffee strong and black so we use a lot of grounds. If we used less grounds it might be closer to neutral with the same amount of water flushing through them. Also i didn't have distilled water on hand to run the test on the grounds so I had to moisten them with stored rain water (ph tested @ 5.0) which is acidic by nature. However, it was the least buffered water source I have on hand so it is what I used. It is possible the ph of the grounds is actually slightly higher. I won't know until I have some distilled water to test with. Of course the water used to brew the coffee was tap water which is well buffered and on the mildly alkaline side. I don't know how that affected the ph of the coffee and won't know unless I brew a pot with distilled water. Regardless, it is definitely true that the coffee itself is more acidic than the grounds. Due to the water sources used it means if anything the coffee could be more acidic than 5.0 and the grounds less acidic than the 6-6.5 |

Username, Around this time last year, I began reading about used coffee grounds on this forum and at the Soil and Compost Forum. In 2002 I began gardening on a new property where the soil was poor - one side sand, another area clay, ash pockets from a forest fire years ago, not to mention the granite boulders. For two years I gardened in this soil from hell, not being able to afford loads of amendments to change it's composition. Things grew, but not like at the 'old' place. Last fall, I approached a gas station which serves a lot of coffee about getting their UCGs. It was on my way home from work, so that was good. I won't spend $$ and go out of my way. Deal was I would give them a clean bucket every night, and take the UCGs out. Started building a compost pile with UCGs a year ago. Leaves were available freely too - and lots of them - and seaweed is a stones throw at the neighbours' beaches, banana peels from the bakery on the way home, pumkins at this time of year, etc. Throughout the winter, the pile was warm and sometimes hot. The snow always melted on the very top and surrounding area, which kept the pile moist. By the spring, I had a nice withrow pile surrounding a maple. It was 4 feet high and 3 feet wide and quite long. I began using it in the gardens. First thing is I HAD WORMS!!!! I had never seen worms here in 2 years. I now bring home about 300 lbs of wet UCGs a week. We have only 3/4 acre, but there's still a lot more amending to be done. Right now we have 4 piles one the go, and I will start the winter pile this month. It smells nice. |
username_5, seems like you could just use regular tapwater for your Ph tests and call it good, since the coffee shops aren't likely to be using distilled water in their machines. And as someone mentioned, the grounds come wet. |
"Smells good" is an important consideration. At my last house I used mostly coffee grounds, eucalyptus leaves, and seaweed in my compost pile. When it was steaming it smelled like ocean, coffee, and eucalyptus although by the time it was done only the eucalyptus scent remained. Mmmm. |
- Posted by reptilegrrl z9 Houston (My Page) on Sun, Nov 6, 05 at 2:43
I would use them in a compost heap but I would not add them "straight" to my gardens. I was advised to do that several years ago and my plants did NOT benefit from it. |
well last month I started picking up a bag of UCG's each day from two diff places. well three at first, but one of them didn't like doing it, and the manager complained and made me stop coming. (can I say D'in doughnuts?) anyway the other two places are still giving me 5-10 gallon and sometimes 30 or more gallon bags of the stuff each day, and I am using it with my TONS of leaves and soon I will have very happy compost for my CLAY soil. I am also putting a thin layer on top of newspaper covering it with leaves and sprinkling that with more grounds. so far so good. we will see this spring what good it does. I haven't seen any slug damage since I started this practice. and that alone is worth the work to haul all this coffie! |
This myth that coffee grounds are acidic and should only be used for acid-loving plants is unbelievably persistant. To clarify, coffee is acidic; used coffee grounds are neutral. The FAQs for the Soil & Compost forum says UCG are neutral. The grounds from espresso places are quite dry. The bags that Starbucks uses state that the pH is 6.9. I see no reason to question that, but other, wetter grounds may be a little lower in pH because less acid is removed by other brewing methods. As for the original question of what is the appeal, I think mainly it is that they are free, especially since other organic amendments can be very expensive. For many people it is more convenient to get them at the closest coffee shop than to buy something at the garden center. And UCG are really concentrated, so a little goes a long way. For me, they have worked best as a top dressing if you don't put too many on at once, but success may depend a lot on climate, too. My lawns really love it, as do my hostas. I also use a lot in composting, especially this time of year when I have lots of browns and few greens. |
Well I guess my follow up question is " if they have a nuetral pH when dry, but lower when wet/liquid, wouldn't they be wet when they are in the soil or rained on?" |
- Posted by username_5 5 (My Page) on Wed, Nov 9, 05 at 16:51
The ph isn't affected by whether or not they are wet. From what I can tell the acidity leeches out of them during the brewing process. The more water that passes over them, the closer to neutral they become. |
Right, sorry if I wasn't clear. I meant that the pH depends on the brewing method. If it was espresso, the steam leaves the grounds dry, but the acidity is removed and ends up in the coffee. Drip brewing leaves them wet and slightly more acidic and the coffee is weaker than espresso. Either way, they would still be neutral or nearly neutral in your garden, whether they get rained on or not. |
Large amounts of UCG added to the soil are not a good idea. It depends on what plant you are growing. It would be much better to create a compost pile with them. I had some plants die right away from adding coffee straight to the soil. But, people are always looking for shortcuts and coffee grounds are free so people do add a lot of them to the soil hoping for a quick fix, but it takes a few years of soil improvement to see great results. Cala lilies like coffee grounds, but never add a huge amount, unless you let it wait for a few months to cure, before planting. |
I bury wet coffee grounds all around my bananas and elephant ears. I also spread starbucks dry coffee grounds all over my lawn and flower beds. All are doing great with no damage anywhere. If you spread them too thick in one place and they dry they will repel water. That is the only way I have ever heard of them doing damage. I add about 5 gallons per banana and elephant ear plant every two weeks, and they are gone when I add the next batch. Lee |
I have used straight coffee from the can (not brewed) in the tomato holes for the past two years. My tomato production has increased to what I would guess is doubled over the past two years. Cause and effect? dunno, but I see no evidence that it has caused any adverse reactions. Mrs H |

Dear All, After reading this blog I still have a few questions about coffee. I am the holder of a 5lb bag of French roasted coffee beans that have become too old to use for coffee. I've been holding on to them because I can't stand the idea of wasting them. Again, they are whole beans. I am wondering if sprinkling them around my Mountain Laurels and Rhododendrons will help them or hurt them? I wonder if sprinkling them under my hostas will ward off the slug attack also. Can anyone suggest? Thanks, madamebutterfly |
- Posted by lazygardens Sunset Zone 13 (My Page) on Fri, Jun 19, 09 at 13:28
Madame - The worst that can happen is that the beans decay and increase the organic content of the soil. |
Actually, I would brew them first & then add them to the soil. You've come a long way since posting this way back when, ehh, D? ;o) Al |

I am an avid gardener , and have with in the last few years added a raised vegetable garden amidst the myriad of other raised flower beds that i have. I have only recently come across using UCG's for soil amendment. I can boast of naturally rich nutrient rich soil already, due to the forrest behind my house with the various deciduous trees. however, i believe in repurposing stuff and reducing the carbon footprint, so i have started recycling my UCG's into my compost along with banana peels. Roses love the banana peels (burried around roots) much safer for the plants than that "Miricale G" stuff ;) . but i am also deligted to know that the vermiculture love the coffee grounds,as they are a good source to airate the soil. How much is too much UCG? i have 7 raised 4x8 foot beds. (Depth of bed is approximately 1' deep. i also plan to put aged cow manure along with it over the winter. ( i live in Northeast). any one have an idea how much i could safely add in mulch pile to increase within safe quantities? i rotate my crops in each bed yearly. but want to do the best i can to maintain a proper balance within each bed consistantly. Best regards and happy gardening! |
I don't know how much is too much. I had awful clay soil. Last year we Put 12" tall borders on top of the clay (2 10x6 beds) and started filling them with whatever I could find. Mostly compost and wood chips. This year I have added a ton of coffee grounds around the plants on top of the soil, never mixed in except by worms. My neighbor works at Starbucks and brings me about 50# a week of grounds. They all go on the garden beds. My neighbor used garden soil to fill her beds. My tomatoes and peppers have outproduced hers. She uses Miracle Grow, I've used no fertilizer. Hers have suffered insects, blossom end rot. I have had no issues. I don't know if it is all due to the grounds or the compost base but IMO you will never have too many grounds. I wouldn't mix them with the soil just as I wouldn't mix in unfinished compost but as a topdressing they have definate value. |

Why Adoption is a Great Option
Queen Herra's Girls, a Marlton Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Border Collie puppy was adopted! Here's how you can benefit by looking at adoption as an option to buying a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Border Collie for sale in Marlton, or seeking a Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Border Collie puppy from a breeder in Marlton.
- Rescues and shelter volunteers in Marlton already know the personality and tendencies of their pets. This means they can match you with the right pet. That will makes it much easier transition to owning a pet for yourself and your new pet.
- On average adoption fees are much less than you'd pay a Marlton breeder, or pet store. Plus most often rescue pets have already been to the veterinarian for a check-up, had a round of vaccinations, and are spayed or neutered. That is a lot of savings!
- You will become a hero, and give a needy dog or cat a loving home. In fact, there are even Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Border Collie breeders who help with Shepherd (Unknown Type)/Border Collie rescue. One puppy or kitten adopted in Marlton paves the way for another one to be saved.

Pets at Our Rescue Group:
Cities, Towns, and/or Counties We Serve:
Las Vegas will soon be home to one of newest concepts in Animal Sanctuaries: Heaven Can Wait. HCWS is a non-profit organization that will house over 200 dogs and 100 cats who are adoptable, but did not find homes at area shelters. It will be a state of the art facility set in a lush fifteen acre park. There will be no time limit on how long a pet can stay with us, and everything we do during their stay will focus solely on preparing the animals for a life with a human family of their own. The sanctuary will contain condominiums resembling real houses for the pets to stay in, complete with furniture, doors, windows, and a backyard for playing. We will also house a park/school for the dogs, where they will be able to exercise freely, and will also be trained to exhibit proper manners for their new owner. To ensure the health of the pets, our facility will also contain a veterinary clinic that will be open to the public. Here the pets will be able to keep up with their shots, and will be properly bathed and groomed. Our main building will have a special center for adoptions with easy access computers, and a training center for people who want to learn about animal care and obedience. Heaven Can Wait will be a sanctuary for everyone in Las Vegas!About Our Rescue Group:
Our Vision:Eliminate the senseless killing of over 30,000 cats and dogs annually in the Las Vegas area shelters.
Our Mission:
Initiate aggressive spay/neuter programs to prevent unwanted litters of cats and dogs in targeted neighborhoods.
Lead a local coalition effort resulting in effective humane animal laws with strict penalties for non-compliance.
Educate our community on principles of responsible pet ownership.
Rescue, rehabilitate and place homeless animals.
Heaven Can Wait Sanctuary does not yet have a facility. Because of this, we can only take in as many dogs and cats as we have space for in foster homes. We are in need of expanding our foster network so we can save more animals' lives. If you are able to be a temporary parent to these homeless babies, please call HCWS today at 227-5555
Over 1000 cats and dogs are adopted to new families annually through HCWS' partnership with area PETsMART stores.
Heaven Can Wait Sanctuary adoption center for CATS is located at the Rainbow & I-215 PETsMART store. Stay tuned! You never know when we may be at a PETsMART near you!
HCWS holds DOG adoptions every Saturday at PETsMART on S. Rainbow and the 215 from 10:00am to 5:00pm
HCWS's Feral Cat Clinic is now a monthly event with huge success! We have spayed and neutered over 4700 cats to date, who were then released back to their outdoor homes. This successful event to help reduce the overpopulation of feral cats in the Las Vegas valley was only possible due to the cooperation of many of Las Vegas' animal welfare groups and individuals who care for feral cat colonies in our valley. Heaven Can Wait would like to send out special thanks to the veterinarians who donate their time and professional skills, as well as PETsMART Charities who granted us $10,000 for the program. This is a massive effort to help reduce the overpopulation of feral cats in our city. Please check back to find out about future updates.

Home to 200,000 acres of public-owned land, Lake County is intersected by two major highways, US-10 and M-37.
Are you an avid fisherman? Then you need to discover Lake County. We have several blue ribbon class trout rivers known for their trout and salmon fishing including quality "flies only" sections with special regulations. The Pere Marquette, the Pine, and the Little Manistee are the most popular, but there are many great brookie feeder streams as well. The Pere Marquette and the Pine are two of the 16 National Wild and Scenic Rivers in Michigan, and the Pere Marquette draws fishermen from all over the world because of it's reputation as one of the finest trout rivers in the Midwest. The first planting of the German brown trout in the U.S. occurred here in 1884 in the Baldwin River, a tributary of the Pere Marquette. These rivers and their many tributaries also provide wonderful scenic canoeing and even some whitewater kayaking.
Lakes? That's why it's called Lake County. We are blessed with over 100 lakes of all shapes and sizes. Big Star Lake and Wolf Lake are the largest, and they both offer fishing for pike, bass, and panfish. Stop by our Chamber office on the main street in Baldwin for public access information.
How about motorsports? Lake County has over 300 miles of ATV/ORV trails with easy on/off access. There are the four trail systems within Lake County, complete with trailhead parking and staging areas. A quick link to comprehensive ORV trails information is here: www.lakecountyorv.com
Snowmobile trails? Lake County has over 300 miles of groomed snowmobile trails thanks to the Trail Riders Snowmobile Association and the Iron's Area Tourist Association. A quick link to maps and info is www.baldwinsnowmobiling.com. See our winter sports page for more information.
Other outdoor pursuits? The Manistee National Forest and the Pere Marquette State Forest cover over 48% of Lake County and offer limitless hiking, hunting, birding, cross country skiing, and wildlife viewing opportunities.
Lake County also has a wide variety of lodging, shops, galleries, and restaurants to offer in the towns of Baldwin, Branch, Chase, Idlewild, Irons, and Luther, as well as many lodges with dining located around the lakes.
In addition, Lake County is well known for its many annual events including Baldwin's "Original" Blessing of the Bikes in May, the Irons Flea Roast and Ox Market in June, West Michigan's Longest Yard Sale also in June, Troutarama and Luther Days in July, and the Salmon Run (5K & 10K) in October.

Hi all, My stone fruit trees have been descimated this year by peach twig borer. I tried 5 applications a week apart of spinosad last month, but they are back with a vengeance. This season seems futile. How can I prevent this for next season? Thanks |
Follow-Up Postings:
I lost two trees years ago, because I didn't use triazicide. I know many in this forum are going back to Imidan, and if I could find it I too would use it. But I have very good results with Triaz. My next spray goes on this weekend. Borers are the worst. They are very difficult to kill and killed two three year old trees of mine. Ugh hate them to this day! |
You need to start spraying early, around bloom time. They aren't that hard to kill around here. |
Here is a link that might be useful: peach twig borer management
Thanks guys. Fruitnut, do you use spinosad on them? Does Hort oil kill the overwinter eggs? I will start spinosad next year starting bloom time. Can you share your spray regiment? |
I allowed them to gain a foothold in my greenhouse one year. The next spring I knocked them out with a few sprays. Think I used dormant oil and BT but may have included an insecticide. Now I have learned how to keep them out and haven't had further problems. Outdoors I'd have to spray every year. |
Any way to avoid spraying but cutting off the tips before they go in too far? I only have 5 trees to worry about so it's easy enough to watch them and prune off the part with the borer. That's what iv'e done so far but this is my 1st year. |
Does cutting off the affected branch tips right away get rid of the larvae? I found a few flagged tips that I must have overlooked when I sprayed 2 weeks ago and cut several open, found no larvae there. How long do the critters stay in the shoots before moving on? (I actually suspect mine were OFM, not peach twig borer) |
eboone, were your tips hollowed out? Mine were and there were larvae in them. I don't know much about this yet but it would seem if they are not hollowed out that it's not twig borer. |

Cover: 4 Needle Parks out of 10.
The cover is very simple. It's the 5 band members' photos. In the center is Joey, and on the top right is a guy by the name of Adam Hamilton, who is now playing bass for L.A. Guns! Adam was the drummer in this band.
Booklet: 3 Needle Parks out of 10.
Once again very simple. Nothing fancy at all, just lyrics and credits.
Songs: 8 Needle Parks out of 10.
If you weren't paying attention you'd think that Mark Slaughter was singing on some of these songs. Joey C. Jones sounds very much like Mark at times. The songs are well written, catchy, pop rock songs ala Cheap Trick. They're the type of songs that can get stuck in your head for days, especially the lead off track "Hello." Speaking of Cheap Trick, the first single was written by Robin Zander and Rick Nielson called "Wait All Night." C.C. DeVille ended up getting co-writing credit for the song "Broadway." Every song has a memorable chorus and solid musicanship. It's a solid CD that fans of Cheap Trick, Enuff Z'Nuff, Butch Walker, and I guess even Slaughter should enjoy.
Comments: This band started out of the ashes of C.C. DeVille's Needle Park. Joey and Adam were in C.C.'s band and after that feel through, they put together Joey C. Jones And The Glory Hounds. The CD came out on TNT Records and in 1993 nobody wanted to hear this type of music so it went largely unnoticed. I don't even remember how I got this CD but I know I got it when it came out. Finding it now would be pretty hard.

OK. I checked the search function, nothing came up. What's the opinion on S&W ARs? Chimo Guns has them for $698 and I'm bucks up at the moment. I've never spent significant time with an AR, is this a good deal? Is a Stag Arms @ $850 a better deal? I know building is the way to go, but I want to own and shoot one to see if I like the whole thing before I bother to build one. Thanks for your response.

I've been trying to make up my mind about a DW for a while, my KA Custom 21 that was in our house when we bought it 19 years ago still works but the spraying action decreased to the point the dishes were not getting clean and mold was forming on the door. I've been hand-washing the dishes. What could I do to clean out the jets, or should I give up on it and buy a new machine? I am very put off on all the machines after reading lots of reviews, there seems to be something wrong with all of them. We are on a well so have low water pressure that might make it hard for a Bosch to run well. Would a Whirlpool or Kenmore (which might be a Whirlpool anyway) do a good job and last say 10 years? Is an extended service contract a good idea? |
Follow-Up Postings:
Tweezers or needle-noze plyers can pull out items stuck in the spray arm holes blocking them. You can remove the rotating washarms, usually by twising open a hand screw (or regular one) in the center, after which you can run water from a faucet into the large center hole, shake back and forth, and drain the water through the hole. Then reinstall the wash arm. Repeat for both or all three as needed. The old pre-Whirlpool Kitchenaid dishwashers with the porcelain tubs clean well and often last a long time. Some Kenmores are made by Bosch (and other manufacturers) as well. |
Check to see if your are getting enough water in the dishwasher when it fills. Over the years you may have sediment in the strainer of the fill valve. That can be removed and cleaned out. I would also get a bottle of Dishwasher Magic and run through the empty machine to clean out the pump/arms/etc. I would try this before getting a new machine. |
Agree with others about doing a few simple things to maybe perk up present performance. However, suggest that after 20 years, the machine doesn't owe you anything. Also suggest you may be impressed with capacity, performance, and quietness of the new machines. Disagree with the idea that "...there seems to be something wrong with all of them." As always, there are certainly bad machines that pop up here and there. For the most part, however, they're almost all pretty darned good. Most problems encountered have to do with bad installs, loading, or other matters than the machines themselves. Water pressure may affect fill-level, but will otherwise have nothing to do with the way machine functions. If your present machine fills appropriately, I have little doubt any new machine purchased will do just fine that way. Easy to check in any event. |
After 19 years of service, it is not a big surprise to see a drop-off in performance. I would certainly check the spray arms for clogs, inspect the drain hose for same, but you could be looking at a worn pump or stiff bearings/bushings in the motor that could impede performance. Chances are, if you are the do-it-yourself type, you could find a new motor and pump assembly on ebay for pretty cheap if you are really trying to avoid a costly replacement; however, I agree with asolo that the newer machines offer several advantages over older models in terms of quietness and performance. I do recommend that you steer clear of GE dishwashers. I have examined the "plumbing" (meaning the high-pressure supply galleries to the spray arm ports) and they are far too small to deliver enough water to get dishes thoroughly clean. GE molds the spray arms to look like they are hefty beasts, but underneath, where the water has to flow, they are just freakin' puny. |
I've been looking at the new machines, Bosch gets good reviews but when I look at Lowe's or some other reviews there are a bunch of unhappy reviews giving them one star, "Don't get this dishwasher!" I have deep flat-edged bowls I use a lot and am not sure they would fit in the rack, and also am tired of washing all my dishes by hand before loading them in the dw so there is no particle build-up, I'm trying to buy into the dream of just sticking the dishes and pots and pans in the dw and avoiding all the rinsing. I like the stainless steel interior of the Bosch and that the filter is SS instead of nylon like in the other dw's. Some people in the forum here say the cheaper Bosch's from the big box store are not as good as the more expensive ones. But the $539 model seems to be the one rated #1 by Consumer's Report. I just realized that one doesn't have a SS interior. I liked the Turbo wash feature of one of the Kenmores but it had a plastic tub for $500 on sale, the SS tub cost $670. I don't know if the Turbo wash makes it any better or not. It is rated one behind Whirlpool Gold, and neither has a SS interior, which I want. Any thoughts? My old KA has metal enamel interior, I guess I would like SS, how important is that? |

Virtually every business, institution and public entity depends on equipment to keep operations going and income flowing. Today, equipment breakdown is a more common and greater risk. Most equipment now contains sensitive and fragile technology that can be easily damaged. More equipment is mission critical so breakdowns bring operations - and income - to a halt. Increased system complexity and interdependency mean a breakdown elsewhere can impact you, yet standard property insurance excludes the risks unique to equipment. All businesses need equipment breakdown insurance, review the following to learn more.
The Simple Seven
Equipment breakdown (formerly called "boiler and machinery") insurance covers many types of equipment. Click on The Simple Seven for a quick overview of the primary types of equipment and risks covered by equipment breakdown insurance.
IQ Equipment Exposures
For an at-a-glance guide to equipment exposures for different types of businesses click HSB IQ Equipment Exposures.
Changing Equipment Risks
Equipment is changing. So are the risks. Click on Changing Equipment Risks to review the reasons why equipment breakdown insurance is now essential to every business.
Coverage Components
HSB's equipment breakdown insurance covers much more than standard "boiler and machinery" policies. Read Coverage Components for a concise overview of equipment breakdown insurance.

Amateur Writing Group's New Director Pitches Its Story
Carrie Spitler is not a professional writer. She majored in political science in college, and has worked as a fund raiser for her entire professional life. She often spends her free time cooking or riding her bicycle.
But that's okay with the organization that just hired her to be its new executive director. Ms. Spitler, who is 32, now heads the Neighborhood Writing Alliance, an organization whose raison d'être is based on the idea that you do not have to be professionally

Omigosh. We just planted 15 new trees and probably 50 new plants. The rabbits and squirrels think it's a new salad bar in town. The trees are on berms and last night something burrowed into the berms just far enough to chow down on the roots. As I look outside now there are 2 squirrels holding pieces of red hot poker and I think liriope. What can I do to stop this or slow them down? I don't know what's burrowing into the tree roots.
Thanks for any ideas you have. |
Follow-Up Postings:
susanka, I used Bobbex for the first time this year and although it is very expensive and has a revolting odor for the first hour or two the stuff does indeed work. According to the company the Bobbex for rabbits is stronger than the Bobbex for deer as rabbit will eat many more things that deer won't touch. Good luck. kt |
Here is a link that might be useful: Bobbex
runktrun, thank you. I went to their site, and their guarantee makes me think it might actually work. I'll call them in the morning; I know we don't have any local dealers. I hope our stuff lives until the Bobbex gets here. Still don't know who the mystery root-eaters are, but maybe this will work for them as well. Thanks again. |
I was out at 3:30 this morning turning on the sprinklers in anticipation of a windy day. Turned out even windier that I'd expected with speeds of 30+ mph and gusts above 40!! While I was setting up the sprinklers, an owl was watching and screeching at me from the neighbor's garage roof. Still, when I arrived at the garden late in the afternoon - a small bunny raced out of the area where I've seen him twice before. Given enuf time, the owl will have him. I haven't seen another rabbit in the garden in weeks. If you aren't blessed with owls, I'm not sure what to do with the rabbits short of shooting them or running them off with a dog. Ground squirrels are different. Usually, their burrows are easily found and the squirrels don't venture far from home. Several times, I have dissuaded them by showing up at their burrows with a sledge hammer and a short piece of wood. Rocks are always at hand in my area. I select about 3 "burrow-sized" boulders and drive them down the holes with the sledge hammer and chunk of wood. That has proven to be a solution. digitS' |

I've been out for the past hour shooting BBs at raccoons so mama & babies will learn this is not an easy food supply. Neighbors leave cat food out all night, luckily the coons make a ton of noise knocking around the metal bowl so I know to get the BB gun out. |
dafygardennut......you go! Save the garden!! I screen things in with chicken wire & cover things with bird netting. Under ground attacks .......I've lost a lot of lily bulbs. Then I use the black hole gopher trap....for pocket gophers. By the time I know they're eating my bulbs...the bulbs are GONE! :0) Kind of a temporary thing, flowers......I keep buying more. Roses seem to be immune to underground feeders. Caging in plant roots is another solution. |

Tea-party groups this week tried to sponsor an anti-immigration rally in Washington DC that would "shut down this town". Uh…not so much. Despite the heavy promotion and what Tea Party sponsors thought was highlighting a hot-button topic, only about 1,000 protesters showed up.
The story above notes the heat may have played a role, but…c'mon…hot weather wouldn't stop a well-organized event with a strong backing from a group's constituents. While I have no doubt that a lack of organization and planning hindered the event, the optimistic side of me (which does show its face sometimes!) can't help but believe part of the reason for the poor turnout is a lack of conviction for anti-immigration rallies by a large swath of Americans.
It's somehow at once both frustrating, and encouraging, to see the Republican Party implode in recent months on issues such as immigration reform. Frustrating, in that short-term gridlock is preventing any kind of meaningful legislation to come out of Washington. Frustrating, to see that hatred, bigotry, greed, and mistrust have taken over one of two American political parties.
However, from a long-term perspective, it's quite encouraging to see the conservative wing of the party bring the entire Republican Party down to its knees. In the short-term, Republican's foolish stance on immigration reform…on anti-abortion legislation in Texas and elsewhere…on voter ID laws in Pennsylvania and many other states…on gay rights and marriage equality…are incredibly damaging to the country. In the long-term…Republicans are not only forever branding their party as the party of intolerance and hatred, forever alienating minority groups (not to mention women in general!), but they are alienating an entire GENERATION. The rapid turn-around on views on gay marriage has been driven by a more tolerant, younger generation. Right now, the entire Republican Party looks incredibly out-of-touch.
The entire Republican Party looks "old"…they look like a dinosaur. And, I couldn't be happier…

Megan Dormedy graduated from UW-Superior in the Fall of 2012 with a degree in social work. She was recently hired as a juvenile probation officer at Arrowhead Regional Corrections in Duluth, MN. Her passion as a probation officer began when she was a personal care assistant for three children who had been sexually abused and neglected. From the experience with her clients, she discovered she had a passion for working with children of vulnerable populations. She expanded her passion when she took several criminal justice courses at UW-Superior. Fall semester of 2012 she was placed into a field internship at Arrowhead Regional Corrections. Megan loved her internship and knew that this was the right path for her.
Immediately after graduating, Megan applied as a corrections officer at an adult correction facility. Once she started working with an adult population in corrections she realized she missed working with kids. So she applied as a youth counselor at a residential treatment facility and became a counselor in the girl's correction residential program. Not long after working at that program, Megan received word that Arrowhead Regional Corrections was hiring a juvenile probation officer. Without thinking twice she applied for the job. Megan has been working as a probation officer for five months and is excited to say this is the job for her!
Megan feels the reason for her success is due to networking and professional relationships she has built. She learned that hard work is very important in a job search. Career Services taught her how important first impressions are; she is also very thankful for the hard work Kathy Pykkonen and her team has put into helping Megan with her resume and cover letter. They helped her realized that a simple word change in her resume could make her sound more professional.
The University of Wisconsin-Superior gave Megan several different opportunities to explore the social work career and find her passion. Her advice to other students at UW-Superior is to utilize their internship opportunities to the fullest and find a placement somewhere that will get your "foot in the door."
Congratulations Megan. Career Services is proud of your success!

Your 48-hour fall getaway will be one for the memory books. Experience farms transformed into playgrounds with apple picking, harvest festivals, corn mazes, and hay rides through pumpkin patches. Or perhaps fall leads you to the coast, where migrating fowl are the only crowd you'll find. Whatever you choose, Virginia's scenic roadways will show off the striking natural beauty along the way.
November 10, 2014. In the mountains of Virginia, fall's colors have mellowed to shades of brown, and in many areas, leaves have already dropped. This is the time of year to really appreciate the deep greens of our native conifers against the gray trunks of our deciduous trees. Piedmont areas range from peak leaf season in the south to past peak in the north, with the landscape resembling a rich brocade fabric in tones of gold, rust and deep red. A drive east into the Coastal Plain still reveals a surprising intensity of color. Shades of gold are broken by occasional oranges and subdued reds for a nice contrast. Read more.

text: I have to say I love that they turn off the lights. At the end of a long day at the park, I find it comforting since I feel disheveled and am glad I don't have to sit avoiding eyes with others that are feeling the same way. Also, on my last trip staying at Port Orleans Riverside, I loved sitting in the dark on the way home listening to the crickets chirping. It was soothing after a long day.

BMW Patent Shows Manual Transmission That Won't Let You Pick the Wrong Gear
The manual transmission has been slowly falling out of favor with many drivers. In days past, two groups of people opted for manual transmission, the enthusiast and people looking for overall fuel economy. With automatic transmissions often delivering better fuel economy today thanks to more forward speeds, the main supporter of the manual transmission is now the automotive enthusiast.
BMW has a new patent application that has turned up that shows the company isn't ready to give up on the manual transmission, even though more automatics are sold these days. The patent is showing off a new transmission that can have seven or more forward gears and a clutch pedal. According to BMW the problem with adding more speeds to a traditional six speed transmission becomes one of increased shift gates and difficulty for drivers in missing shifts.
Basically, with more gates there's a bigger chance of missing a downshift, over-revving the engine, and destroying your motor. BMW's patent shows a special fluid that will physically block the selection of any gear ratio but the correct gear on downshifts when a voltage is applied. I think this is a great idea and I hope BMW and other manufacturers get transmissions using this technology on the market soon. This sort of technology may usher in an era of eight or even nine speed manual transmissions.

Great! I just hope it will let drivers select more than just the previous gear, i.e. going from 7th to 4th.
BMW does it again! xoxox
"8 or 9-speed manual transmissions."
Just… why? Six is plenty for me, and I only have five in my car!
