Milan Sanremo is the longest classic of the year but the kilometers can simply fly by when you are chasing the race. From the start in Milan to the key points along the route and finally to the Poggio our man Ale was there, in the rain, taking it all in - from the first rider on the road until the very last.
Two races in Belgium at the week-end, so we put Ed Hood roadside in Flanders, and he was in his element. Cobbles, riders, fans, bikes and beer; all you need for two full days of Flemish fun. Although it was a sober Ed who walked stunned out of a bar after Saturday's Het Nieuwsblad debacle!
Over a lifetime of cycling the roads of our sport, a few stand out: the fun ones, the beautiful ones, and the brutal ones - where you suffer like you never knew possible. Riding your bike up the Mortirolo in Northern Italy is all three, and ranks up there with the Stelvio and Gavia as epic climbs one must do.
The 2014 Giro d'Italia's Irish sojourn came to a close after three stages and our own Gordan Cameron was on hand to take it all in with Marcel Kittel being the sorriest rider to leave after two awesome sprint victories. After crossing from the north into the land of bilingual roadsigns, Euros, and kilometers not miles, Gordan was also sorry to see the Giro return home.
Roadside Reload: Grand Tour veteran Ed Hood was at the 2013 Giro d'Italia covering the action for PEZ and the stage to Vicenza that year has practically the same profile and course as stage 12 for the Giro'15. We retrace Ed's day of fun on the Crosara climb and look forward to next years Italian Tour.
Italian PEZ man Ale Federico has moved on from Il Lombardia to his favourite race; the Giro dell'Emilia in Bologna. It's not just the racing that's good, but also the food pulls Ale back year after year. He will be roadside on Saturday, but here is why he loves Emilia.
Roadside Report: The Giro di Lombardia is always a highlight of the year for our Italian superfan Alessandro and this year he was fortunate enought to experience a perfect fall day instead of the rain of previous editions. Here's the story of his day out chasing the 'Race of the Falling Leaves'
Our PEZ man at the World road championships, Ed Hood, filled his camera's memory on Sunday. And so on his journey home he picked out his selection of favourite photos. You can't beat those unique, behind the scenes shots to keep the Ponferrada World's feeling going for just a little bit longer.
Roadside Report: 255km of tough racing was on the agenda on Sunday and as always Ed Hood was there for every single moment from the warmup to the startline the finishline and then the post race reactions. Here's a look at his day, roadside in the rain in Ponferrada for the 2014 Men's World Road Cycling Championships.
Roadside Report: Roadside for the action & back stage before and after the race for the reactions - Ed Hood was everywhere in Ponferrada today as he watched the Junior Men's Road Race in the morning and then the big Women's Race in the afternoon where France's Pauline Ferrand-Prevot upset the favorites with a great sprint victory.
I knew it was a good Tour when only a couple days in I'd already lost track of the days, and by the end of the week I actually couldn't remember what I'd done just three days earlier. It was my first Tour in 11 years, and this was our final day on the race - destination Briancon, via the Col du Lautaret.
Roadside Report: From the religious tourist trap of Lourdes to the history of Le Tour and on to to the backstage areas with the buses, tour tech and more - Ed Hood was everywhere today taking it all in. It might have been a rainy day in the South-West of France but it was a great day out roadside at Le Tour. Let's have a look at Ed's day through his eyes...
Roadside: What a better way to see the Tour de France than in the Pyrenean mountains with L'Equipe open in front of you and in a tent with a TV and a drink in your hand. Ed Hood knows how to see the Tour and have a good time. Day three...
Roadside Interview: Ed Hood's first hectic day on this year's Tour de France was meant to be a rest day, but not for Ed. After the mussel party with OPQS, there were rider interviews to get. First up was PEZ favourite; Michael Morkov of Tinkoff-Saxo.
Roadside Rest Day: A superb setting with top class food, wine, beer and more it was easy to see why our experienced Tour reporter Ed Hood headed to the OmegaPharma-Quickstep media gig in Carcassonne on the Tour's rest day. Mussels to eat and some tired muscled cyclists to interview were the menu of the day.
Tour de PEZ St.12: The climb to HC category ski station at Chamrousse is the capper on the Tour de France's first day in the Alps. I saddled up for a closer look on two wheels at the stage 13 finish, and find out who's already set up camp.
Roadside St.11: 'Bus driver' might not be up there on most people's list of exciting jobs, but in the world of pro cycling, it's something only a few people are qualified to do. PEZ-Pal Danny In 't Ven invited us inside for a tour of the Trek Factory Racing team bus.
Roadside Rest Day: A day at the Tour presents hundreds of options for Roadside adventures, and sometimes it's tough choosing which path to follow. One story I was determined to get on my trek through the Vosges and Alps, was an interview with one of the Tour's Podium Girls.
Roadside. St.10: What a day – 752 photos, 200+km in the car, 6 of 7 tough climbs, 1 major Tour abandon, and a handful of great stories – here's what it was like at the Tour de France's stage 10 on Bastille Day in the Vosges mountains.
Roadside St.8: As an opener for the next three days in the Vosges mountains, I saddled up for a ride over stage 8's final climbs to see how tough these slopes really are. And while the road might set the stage, it's the fans who make the day…

Dogwoods and Redbuds
In Florida, dogwoods and redbud trees grow best as understory trees. They don't do well in direct, hot sun where they easily stress. They are happier in shifting, dappled shade and sunlight under taller trees. I have seven that all came from tiny 6" seedlings from under my mother's trees about four years ago. They are still too small to bloom but in a few more years, I hope they are pretty.
June 2010, after a couple of months in the ground. The garden was oh-so-young but I had to get my bones in first:
March 2011:

Hi Irma,
Yes, you should do it! If you know anyone with dogwood, they are very likely to have seedlings all around the base. If you move them by lifting roots and soil together, they transplant very easily with little-to-no shock. The standard "water in well" applies for a couple of weeks. I can't remember for certain but I don't think I showed these much extra love after a short acclimation period. Dogwoods and redbuds do great in the shade of taller trees (or planted on the east side of a tall building).
I don't know the answer to the blackberry lilies question. Mine came from seed that Karalynn sent me last summer. This is their first full season as grown plants. I must say, they sailed through winter and a low of 23.5 without protection and without blinking. Some websites say that the bloom time is July through fall but I don't know if age, temp and/or water are required to get them going. When mine bloom, I will post pictures. (I was gonna say "if" but I'm willing them on!)
Good luck with your plantings looks like they are getting along well. My father had a nice dogwood at his house that had been planted by the previous owner...that was in the Plant City area.
I tried redbuds a few years back. I planted 3 and one died each year for 3 years :-(. But I didn't know that they were understory plants so that might have been the issue especially since I'm on the boarder line zone wise.
again...good luck and happy growing.
Oh, Laura, I'm so sorry you lost your trees. Redbuds are easily susceptible to pests and disease. I think if you grow them in shade they may have a better chance? I love them for both their blooms and their heart-shaped leaves. I meant to get a picture this past spring when the new leaves came out but I missed it. There were all these tiny little lime-green hearts strung up and down the branches like dew drops. They were so cute!
Below is a link to the University of Florida info.
The Walmart trees are pretty affordable. The hard part might be planting the root ball between the roots of a bigger tree. (That is the beauty of starting with seedlings!)
If you get one, please post a picture.

Need solution to kill ants in garden
I have a perennial rock garden and the ants are enjoying it too much. Does anyone know what to use to deter them from building nests? Someone suggested cinnamon - has anyone had luck with that????? HELP!
Find the colony's hill and pour cornmeal (from grocery or feed store) on it. They eat the cornmeal, it expands in their stomachs and blows them up without spreading insecticide or harming other good insects.
Be thankful you aren't fighting stinging red ants in your garden like your southern neighbors are!!
Also coffee grounds. Since they're such an excellent fertilizer/mulch anyway, go to Starbuck's and get enough grounds to mulch your garden. Pay particular attention to dumping grounds on any anthills you see, but make sure you get some on all the rest of the garden too, to discourage formation of new hills. If they do make new hills, spot treat with more coffee grounds.
Here's another idea: Bluerepper's Super Bug Death Tea!
From the Organic Gardening forum. It's kind of a casual recipe, so you may want to tweak amounts to make what works best for you. You could also add stuff; greengoddess added curry, and Capt. Compost suggested orange oil (probably added after boiling).
Here's the basic recipe:
8-10 cloves garlic
7 or so Tabasco Peppers
A couple spoons of Murphy's Oil Soap
A couple spoons Canola Oil
Habanero sauce
a couple spoons dishsoap
"Throw it all in your mixer or Cuisinart or whatever."
Mix the ingredients with just a little water, then mix with 1 quart hot water (which was noted further down in the thread). Bluerepper let it steep; greengoddess boiled hers. I'd strain the veggie bits out with cheesecloth to make sure your spritzer bottle doesn't get gunked up. Then go to town on the bugs.
For something like a fire ant infestation, the answer seems to be to make a big bunch of this stuff and pour it in the ant nest.
Here is a link that might be useful: Bluerepper's Super Bug Death Tea!
fire ants:
Ok here I go, you guys will think I am truely a nutcase, but I promise it works! Being in south where fire ants are real problem, I haven't bought any poison or paid a dime to get rid of them in years since finding out about this.
Urine- human urine. Now that you are shocked and/or laughing. It really works. Male or female either one, the human hormones kills the queen and without queen the colony disappears. I didn't believe it when I first heard it but of course since it's free I had to try it and it really does work.
Applying urine will kill only a few of the surface ants. The nests are so deep (sometimes 10 feet) and so well protected against liquid getting in (so that they don't drown when it rains) that a mere few fluid ounces of urine won't do more than annoy them. If they get annoyed enough, they will move the nest somewhere else.
I have killed fireant mounds with d-limonene, the active ingredient in orange oil. Use 1 tablespoon or a little more in a gallon of water. You can add a little molasses or compost tea, sometimes I do if it's handy. Pour the entire gallon over the UNDISTURBED mound. If you disturb it, the little devils will rescue a few eggs & make more queens. I've heard it's most effective on a hot sunny day, but I've never had it to fail. The brand I find here in north central Texas is Orange TKO.
Good luck!
Nicotine tea
pros: 1--it's free
2--it works
cons: 1--it's poisonous
2--it's gross
take an empty milk jug, fill with water and cigarette butts.
leave it out in the sun to "brew".
when it's the color of tea, dump it on the mound.
Obviously this will only work if you know a smoker. But it does work, and unlike citrus oil/d-limone (my fav!!!) it won't burn young plants. I might hesitate to use it in a veggie garden, though...
Lots of folks here in AZ have problems with fireants. The nurseries and stores around here sell a product called Amdro. It goes for about $10 or $15, I think. Someone on the Arizona Gardening form said it worked quite well for her in getting rid of fireants.
I've been putting cornmeal around my roses for blackspot this year. I watched the tiny black ants carrying it back to their nests and thought how nice they are taking it underground for me. I never thought about them eating it and exploding...........I will go look tomorrow and see how many are left.
Grits do not make ants explode. Adult ants can not consume solids, unless the solids are microscopic in size. Adults feed solids to their larvae which ingest the solds. Then the adults feed of liquid secretions from the larvae.
Many times people think the things they used on the ants worked, because they no longer see the ants, when in reality the ants just moved to another spot or are resting underground after eating all the grits and things the humans gave them.

So if corn meal and grits aren't helping to get rid of the ants what do you suggest we use? I do not like to kill all the good bugs and the lizard and toads and birds with broad spectrum poisons. I have successfully used "ant wars" with the fire ants, but the carpenter ants, the black ants that hold their back ends over their backs and the tiny little black sugar and little red piss ants are driving me totaly crazy. Boric acid (100%) and Terro help in the house but outside I have a constant battle. I could care less what the real names of these little pests are just how to get rid of them with a little harm to the enviroment and other creatures as possible. TIA for advice.
I have a suggestion that worked with fireants; cooking oil
I saved used cooking oil (vegetable) and poured about half a gallon very slowly over a fire ant nest. Their nests are made to withstand water, but not oil, the oil obviously seeped in and "glued" them to the sand; the mound died, didnt move. The grass didnt die, in fact it's way longer now in that spot than in the rest of the lawn. I have tried every ant bait/poison in the market and the mounds only move a couple of feet, this worked. Wish I knew it would work before they killed my persimon tree. I know that since this was edible oil it will breakdown and I think it is more eco friendly than poisons, certaintly didnt hurt the grass at all.
The new Over 'n Out has worked for me, and i still have toads, tree frogs, and lizards, hummingbirds galore. I did not use it in my veggie beds, and won't. just broadcast it it in my play area. Have not seen any ants in over a year. Still get those pesky snakes showing up, skeeters, dragonflies (beautiful), it seems not to harm the ones I love.
Identify the ants first because this won't work on ants that don't want a protein food source.I found this info when searching for something to use where I grow food items. A lot of things..even natural..are for lawns or pastures....not food areas. Texas A & M University has a lot of information about everything!
Texas A & M Two-Step FIRE ANT Control
#1 Apply a fresh broadcast bait with the active ingredient spinosad while
ants are foraging. Consider Safer Brand Fire Ant Bait and Green Light Fire
Ant Control with Conserve.
#2 Treat mounds around foundation and in high traffic areas with D-Limonene
(orange oil). Commercial organic treatments include Safer Brand Fire Ant
Mound Drench and Garden-Ville Anti-Fuego Soil Conditioner.
Howard GarrettÂs [Dr.Dirt] Two-Step Ant Control
#1 Use beneficial nematodes for treatment of the larger area. There are
thousands of different species of nematodes. The nematode for fire ant
control is sold under the name ANTidote from Gulf Coast Biolotic Technology
(1-800-524-1958). It attacks the fire ants at the larval stage. It is very
effective and can last for years.
#2 Use a mound treatment that consists of compost tea, molasses, and orange
oil. You can buy concentrates of this. Look for Garden-Ville's Auntie Fuego
Soil Conditioner, or you can buy Garden-Ville's Garrett Juice and add the
orange oil to it. You can also make your own by making compost tea and
adding orange oil and molasses to your homemade tea. To this tea, add 4-6
ounces of orange oil and 4 teaspoons of molasses, per gallon, to make your
own mound control juice.
Fire ants can be controlled with organics. First of all to help the soil and
run the fire ants out of your yard you can use Liquid molasses or spread dry
molasses over your yard. Fire ants hate molasses and will move there mounds
over night. After this first step, you can use two ounces of orange oil to
one gallon of water and treat all the mounds you come across. It way take
more than one treatment to get rid of the little suckers. You can also buy
some already mixed-up fire ant killers at most feed store's and organic
nursery's in our area, Gardenville makes a wonderful one.
The good thing to all of the above is, it will not hurt anything in your
yard or lake

I live in the country and we are currently building a home on 5 acres. Fire ants are just something that we are probably going to have to learn to live with but I do appreciate all of the info you all are providing...I have enough ants around that I can certainly try different methods...I will say though that from what I have seen they just leave the nest and often come back to it later..ugh I plan to garden so hope I don't get eaten alive...
Our daughter visited us recently for the first time and she was bitten "stung" on the hand twice...she was reacting to the sting and talking about being stung by a bee...I truly didn't have the heart to tell her that the culprit she was so franticly dodging was an ant...
we don't have fire ants here..but living in a wooded area, we do have LOTS of ant colonies.
If they do not come in the house, I let them be. But, I can sure understand if they become a nuisance.
Since we live in the woods, ants are vital to the reproduction of some woodland plants..such as trillium and other spring plants...the ants take the seeds underground to store for food..and what they don't eat sometimes germinate..and for those delightful surprizes of "how did that get here?" I'll let them stay!
Good luck
You'll never fully get rid of ants, they always come back. The best you can hope for is to force them to nest some where else. I found out the hard way the more you fight them, the more plentiful they become lol. Are they eating your plants up? In the corner of my garden I have a big nest of black and red ants they are about an 1/2 an inch big, and always climbing up and down one of my conifers. I'm not sure what they are doing, but the tree does not seem to be harmed, so I leave them alone.
I used human urine on a bed of red ants recently. Worked great! As soon as the urine hit them they started dying and have not seen any sign that they moved to a new location.
DH thought I was nuts when I asked if he would provide this for the garden. I provided the liquid detergent bottle.

I simply made a massacre of the fire ants (after they
stung me a few dozen times when I went to pick up a
pot they had made into a mound without my knowing) by
doing the following:
1. Boil a nice large pan of water
2. Pour it on top of ant pile
3. Follow up immediately with apple cider vinegar
4. Feel good about amount of death incurred?
5. No, go to step 1
6. Exit program
Pretty simple, worked great, haven't seen ants since.
I had to respond because someone mentioned using 'OVER N OUT.'
This stuff is toxic, not intended for garden use and
not approved for this purpose.
I learned the hard way. You can't or I should say, shouldn't eat the vegetables treated with OVER N OUT.
It takes one full year ( I was told, who knows what remains in the soil ) for this stuff to be gone. Yes it'll get rid of fire ants but at what cost?
My entire garden was a waste!
We live in Texas and these ants have taken over! We have tried everything to get rid of them but nothing works. They will move the mound but that's about it.
"I have a perennial rock garden and the ants are enjoying it too much. Does anyone know what to use to deter them from building nests?"
I understand why people would want to get rid of fire ants, or any other ant species that's actually aggressive. I can even understand objecting to a big mound-type ant nest in the middle of a flowerbed. But otherwise, why bother? You'll just end up doing yourself and your garden a disservice. Ants (except tropical leafcutter ants) don't damage healthy vegetation -- they're beneficial insects.
We have a fairly large population of those tiny black ants. Often I find a nest when I turn over a stone and I always feel bad because I *want* those guys in my garden.
one good solution to keeping ant populations down is to treat your soil with Sevin or Orthene(smelly!) or use disyston.
As for you folks in the south, the fire ants seem to be revving up this year. My aunt lives in MS, and is fighting them. She uses over n out, tried amdro but didn't last too long.
Kendal, I am in the PNW also and it sounds like you have carpenter ants. We had them too. They nest out in the garden and put their nursery in homes. At least that is what we were told.
For ordinary ants, I use mint plants to protect something like my rose bush from aphids and cayenne pepper to move ants from a place where I don't want them. I buy a new bottle and sprinkle the whole thing around where they are and they move farther away from the house.
I have a number of ant hills at the base of trees - conifers, fruit and deciduous trees. I've been afraid to pour boiling water over them in case I injure the trees. My husband says that the ants won't injure the trees, but I have seen a number of trees die that were home to ants. So, are the ants attracted to dying trees or do the ants kill the trees?? I need to do something about these ants because we put a lot of money into planting these trees.
After being hugely pregnant all last spring and summer, I've ventured outside this year to find huge anthills everywhere! What can I do to control this problem? It is so gross and just makes my skin crawl! They're coming out of the splits between cement panels in the driveway, surrounding the trees, and are in the flower beds. Can anybody help?
My Grandma used to use cucumber peelings. For some reason they don't like them. I would just take a walk outside in my yard while making salad and peel them right where the pesky critters hang out. I'm sure to my neighbors I looked like a nut. Seemed to work though...
Outdoor Ant Control
Supplies: 1 to 2 gallons water
Stove or barbecue grill
Instructions: Heat water to 160 to 170 degrees. Quietly sneak up to the mounds of ants and pour the boiling water down the hole.
Note: I normally try to do this between 11am and 2 pm.
Indoor Ant Control
Supplies: 1 tbsp. boric acid
1 tbsp. mint jelly or peanut butter
1 cracker
Small cardboard box
Instructions: Mix the boric acid and mint jelly; spread mixture on a cracker. Punch pinholes in a cardboard box; place cracker inside. Place box in an area where ants cause problems, but away from children and pets.
Note: The mint jelly or peanut butter lures the ants in and the boric acid kills them.
Indoor and Outdoor Ant Control
Supplies: Diatomaceous earth
Instructions: Dust food-grade diatomaceous earth along the antÂs pathways.
Note: The white powder will cut through their exoskeleton and they will dehydrate and die.
Indoor and Outdoor Ant Control Supplies:
1 1/2 cup Cream of Wheat
Instructions: Place a dish of Cream of Wheat where the ants can access it.
Note: After they eat it, the cereal expands and the ants will explode.
Here is a link that might be useful: Getting Rid of Ants
No, ants don't explode. But the foragers may bring the wheat back to the nest to feed their larvae. The larvae will not explode either.
Hot water will kill ants, but it is a dangerous way to do it. A sweet aqueous solution of a borate is often used. It works.

For fire ants:
I don't care if what I do makes the ants move as long as they are not in my yard. I tried the granular molasses this year and I have no ants. The bag cost 4.00. I used one bag in the front and one in the back. Easy to apply with a spreader... Of course, I'll have to reapply at least once a year, but I would have to do the same with poison. Don't know if one bag would have taken care of everything, I wanted every square inch to have a granule.
Also, soapy water will kill them and repel them. It will only kill the ones you actually spray. I used to have patio made from 2 x 2 concrete squares. In between the squares was sand and the ants (all kinds) just loved to build mounds in that sand. I drenched the patio with soapy water 4 times. The ants left and didn't come back. I lived there for two years.
If you use soapy water be careful of the kind you use. Some types of soap will kill your plants.
And Texas A&M has been studying fire ants for a while now. They have determined that the more bermuda grass you have = more fire ants. This is because the legless mealy bug, after it is born and still has legs, loves the roots of bermuda grass. They attach themselves to the roots and live there until they die. The mealy bug makes some sort of secretion that fire ants LOVE. In fact, once the fire ants get hooked on this stuff they can't live without it. Kind of a fire ant heroin, I guess. So, my sympathies for bermuda grass lawn owners...
An organic solution would be to buy a product called
"Diotamaceous earth." It is the crushed remains of tiny organisms. It is very sharp, and when poured around an ant mound, the ants crawl over it, and are cut to pieces. Caution should be taken while applying to not inhale it, or apply it it during a breezy day.
Here in Alabama, the only thing I've ever found to work well is Amdro. The secret is to apply it the way the instuctions tell you to. Do not sprinkle it directly on the bed! I treated 3 acres two years ago. I used to have 40 or more beds of fire ants. Beds so large they would choke down my riding mower. After I applied Amdro, I've only seen 2 beds since.
Jwarner, can you tell me the toxicity of Roundup?
Do I have to wear long pants, gloves and a mask when spraying?
Can glyphosate or other ingredients in Roundup harm humans?
How long does it stay in the soil? Does it ever break down into harmless chemicals? Can it be taken up into food plants and ingested, causing later harm?
You can read the material safety data sheets (MSDS) for Roundup products at the link below. All chemical products must have an MSDS to provide information on their dangers, even natural products. It's a good idea to read these sheets before you use any chemical product.

Hi, I was wondering if anyone could help with our ant problem.
Last summer, we decided to give our veggie patch a year to the replenish the nutrients in the soil. Unfortunately during the break it seems a colony of ants have decided to make the patch their home. Any idea what we can do to get rid of them but still be able to use the patch for tomates, carrots and herbs?
Relative to other herbicides, Roundup is not terribly toxic - still I would recommend wearing a mask and gloves when spraying it (as with all herbicides). Roundup breaks down in the soil very quickly and you will not have problems with residual, or with uptake into plants and subsequent ingestion - also because plants that absorb glyphosate tend to die....
And yes, I have a graduate degree in killing weeds and residual herbicides.
I have a more complicated issue that I don't know if you can help with. We are in the south and fireants are taking over. We have horses and goats so pretty much most of the yard is for growing vegetables or being grazed by livestock. Due to this, we can't put any chemicals down. Just recently, after a big storm, the ants moved indoors.... into my 3 year old's bed. He had 53 fire ant bies all over him, and it caused him to have a seizure. We need a method to control these things, this is not a situation where we can go on the "live and let live" thought process.
You might consider that the venom in fireant stings is made up of:
1- chemicals (natural and organic chemicals and highly toxic)
2- much much more toxic than stuff that will kill fireants
3- besides your son, fireants can also kill livestock
...so, if you put out some fireant bait, such as Amdro or Advion, or other product... what will happen:
1- you won't poison anything except the fireants (if you use the product according to label directions)
2- you might save your son's life. Many people die each year from fireant stings! Animals die also.
Think about it.

I just recently tried this solution and ants are gone, I had fire ants In my garden. I sprinkled a mix of cinnamon,black pepper and ground coffee over my garden, not on the plants but on the soil, edges of my garden and on the ant mounds. The ants scattered and are gone moved away but they are not in my garden which is great! It worked for me might for others, Be Generous when sprinkling.
i have a list of different ways i used to kill ants, i believe that its better to understand some facts about ants first, so that whatever method you use to kill will be based upon some facts about ants. By understanding facts about ants, you will know their weakness and strength, and you will know what will work and what won't. Here are the various methods to kill ants, http://killgardenants.blogspot.com/
Here is a link that might be useful: understand and kill ants the smart way...
Use a food processor to grind up any citrus peels and scatter in your "anty" areas. This has worked for me two non-successive years when, for unknown reasons, ants decided to set up a subdivision and dine on the ripening blueberries. The ants were clever and pierced the berries, ate the innards and then went to another berry. Amazing how the hollowed skin of the berry was usually not shriveled. These ants never bothered the red raspberries that were only a few yards away. I never took the time to determine which species of ant these were.
A handful of ground peels in a 2.5' diameter circle at the base of each bush resolved the issue. During the year, I try to keep a gallon or two of peels or processed peels in the freezer-for the ants. If you do not have freezer space, simply dry the peels as they accumulate, soak a few hours, process, etc. Sometimes, I use these peels scattered about the cole plants to reduce the cabbage moths. The citrus oils are believed to alter the coles' attractive odors.
Cornmeal does not make fireants explode but it does something to occupy them, move them, until your corn seeds can start growing. Also helps to keep them off the ears of corn until you can harvest. Yes, they do damage crops!
I sprinkle cornmeal all over the garden.
I would wage chemical war on them if they were to endanger my child's life. Best source for info is Texas A&M University.
I have been having problems in my veg garden with the ants burrowing into my zucchini plant's stems and eating them from the inside out. Half the time I dont even know they are there. I have planted 6 zucchini plants each year for the last 4 years and they have only produced 3 zucchini in those conbined years because of the ants. 3 zucchini! If anyone who grows these will know they will grow like weeds but not mine. The ants dont bother my tomato, bell peppers, or eggplant though. I have tried a lot of things with no success. Any ideas that wont poison my family in the end product?
Not sure if this is urban legend but someone said sprinkle Equal around, that the Aspartame kills them. Considering what it did to my hubby, I can believe it might poison ants. He used to be a Diet Coke addict, and then got "meniere's syndrome" with dizzyness, nausea, fluctuating hearing loss, and ringing in the ears. We're pretty sure it's the asparatame that did it not only because so many other people have had that and other problems with aspartame, but because if he accidently ingests aspartame (like he did once by taking Theraflu without reading the label) he gets an attack, pretty quickly.
He's mostly ok the rest of the time unless he eats too much salt,but even the tiniest amount of aspartame sets it off.
I use aspartame on ant hills and without exception every hill has been dead in two days. 2 packets of equal for a large hill 1 packet for small hills misting the aspartame slightly with water makes it easier for the larger sized ants to take away, this is not necessary for the smaller ants. Enjoy the carnage oh and it is my opinion that people should not eat this stuff.
I bought a bag of Diotamaceous earth to kill all the snails around here. Didn't realize it would take so little. Since I've got the entire bag left, I'll use it on the fire ants. Thanks for the suggestion. If any of ya'll lived near me, I'd have enough to kill all your mounds, too.
get a 5 gallon bucket fill slightly with water then pour liquid detergent in and mix well, finish filling with water and have fun.... (hot or cold does not matter)
note: more detergent than water is a must as you don't want to dilute your weapon, and make sure you add plenty of it :)
I have noticed that the actual bubbles on top do a better job, as they probably have something more to take oxygen away and/or the oils that keep ants from drying out.
I grew up on a ranch on a hillside, the ants were absolutely nuts, like leave your food out for more than an hour and they got it.
We finally discovered boric acid traps.
The easiest way we found was to use cocacola! Drink about half the can (or dump it out for you health nuts), refill with some boric acid, and leave out for the ants. They are extremely attracted to the sugar and can eat it for days, it really seemed to get rid of them in, but be prepared to mix some up every season.
I'm watching the ants crawl through my Safer brand diatomaceous earth to eat my Okra...
It's my very first garden, and so far out of 8 strawberry plants, 2 tomato plants, 4 okra plants and 2 eggplants... I've had 2 tomatoes. Basically making gardening a complete waste of time due to ants. I've tried Sevin... garlic powder and now this.
HELP! I am desperate to find a way to get rid of the ants in my flower beds. They are small black/dk brown ants that prefer greasy foods over sweets. (Discovered when my daughter dropped a french fry in the kitchen and didn't pick it up.)
They are in my flower beds. I have found them in two potted plants already this year (one of them a hibiscus). They were in my mailbox without dirt at one time after it had rained for a while.
Luckily, they do not bite but they are walking around my house all the time and I'm concerned they will be a bigger problem when I bring my tropical plants back in the house in the fall.
Does anyone know if these methods safe for houseplants and herbs?
Hmm... we're having an issue with ants. Not sure where my wife got a vineagar and water mixure idea from (we put int in a spray bottle and sprayed), but it did not work. They just moved and the smell just made me have to buy vinegar and salt chips.
I will have to try some of these ideas. I must admit, I kinda want to pee on something... ants hopefully, but my aim isn't that good. Don't tell my wife, I'm heading to the garden now.
I use a product called Hi-Yeild. There is a pamphlet on the bottle with the "recipes" for different problems. It is safe to use around fruit & vegetable bearing plants. It is even safe for large breeds of dogs & lives stock. DO NOT USE ON OR AROUND CATS, SMALL DOG BREEDS, RODENTS, ETC. When it comes to ants, it works miracles. Kills the bed by the following day. I also spray my entire yard with it to keep them away. Doing that also keeps the ticks, fleas, & other pests at bay.
If you're serious you have to eliminate the source, not just make the ants move. That's the hard part. Finding bail they'll take back that will detonate them all. Wish I had some sage advice. I've had ants everywhere in my house. Better now, but not perfect.
I see diatomaceous earth suggested here numerous times... you should know that it is not selective. It kills beneficials just as effectively as pests. I LOVE using it indoors where I dont really want any creepy-crawlies, but my family knows that it is NOT allowed outside. Its also not great to breathe so you should wear a mask and keep kids/pets out of the area until the dust settles.
I just applied DE over my vegetable garden due to ant infestation, then wouldn't you know it, we had a sprinkle of rain. The sun is out now. Do you think the DE would regain its potency after drying in the rain? It came from the water in the first place, right?

1 recommendation
quote:Anonymity is a privilege, not a right. Anonymity is a double-edged sword. A limited number of people need it in certain circumstances: children, crime victims, whistleblowers, people discussing their medical conditions, political dissidents in repressive regimes. But those people normally don't misuse their anonymity to abuse others; they're protecting themselves from abuse. I think the default setting in all online forums that are not intended for people at risk should require real names. After a user has demonstrated that they are a grown-up, then offer them the privilege of using a pseudonym. And take it away forever if they misuse it. I haven't used a nickname for years except in one place where all the readers know who I am anyway. Has it made me more careful about what I say? You bet. Is that a good thing? Damn right it is.

Blue Halls Camiana bottling of Cabernet is coming off a string of successful vintages, and this 09 is right up there. Youd hardly know the wine is already more than four years old, its so fresh and fruity in blackberries, cherries, dark chocolate and cassis. This 100% Cab also is quite tannic, in the Howell Mountain way. Begin popping the cork in 2019, and the wine could still be amazing in the late 2020s.

Youth leagues try to rein in 'bad news parents'
Thursday - 6/20/2013, 4:10am EDT
AP National Writer
BUFFALO GROVE, Ill. (AP) -- The new signs at youth baseball fields in this Chicago suburb are small, not much more than gentle reminders for parents, coaches and other adults in the stands. Still, the message is clear: Behave.
They begin: "This is a game being played by children. If they win or lose every game of the season, it will not impact what college they attend or their future potential income.."
The campaign is part of a growing movement in youth sports -- aimed at reining in parents who, many say, are too involved, too competitive and in need of a little perspective.
Elsewhere, some youth sports leagues are requiring parents to sign codes of conduct or recite pledges before games. Other leagues occasionally have "silent" games to limit parent interference.

Gomez was a good signing...

The reality though is buying free agents costs you nothing but the cap space that you spend on them and can be turned into other assets at least as long as you can locate just one of the other 29 GM's around the league who might give you something of value for them--in this case it was Bob Gainey. You don't spend to the ceiling--in this case if we didn't sign Gomez then we don't add McDonagh, Valentenko and we might not have Prust (part of the Higgins deal)--so the Gomez signing over the longer run has worked out nicely for us. So yeah it can be categorized as a mistake but it's a mistake that Sather turned into something very beneficial for us. Redden and Drury can be classified differently--more or less cap space wasted for Redden's entire contract and for a good half of Drury's--and no movement of either for assets from another team. For that reason those two signings completely suck.

I've been able to participate in this community by coming to weekly meals, gatherings, and celebrations, where songs are sung, tea and s'mores are served, and relationships are built. To put it simply, it is both a beautiful and messy place. In the short time I've been getting to know this community and its values, it has had an impact on me and I have learned so much already.

How to raise carport pavement?
swampwizFebruary 1, 2010
I have my eyes on buying a house, but it has the problem of the carport flooding a little bit in the front from the runoff from the street. The house itself is not a problem since it is about 1-1/2' higher. Probably all that is needed is for there to be an about 2" or so of extra concrete on top of the current pavement.
Is this something that can be done relatively easily? Or would I have to get the whole carport pavement removed and do the carport from scratch?
The driveway itself is also low, and all I am going to do there is just rip up the old driveway (which is all cracked and beat up anyway) and put in a little fill. I don't even plan to park in the driveway except maybe when I would be going away for a long time.

Patna: The prospect of financial inclusion in Bihar was very bright as banks proposed to set up 14,000 outlets, including banking correspondents in the state next year, Deputy Chief Minister, Sushil Kumar Modi said on Saturday.
Banks will have to open two crore new accounts for which more branches would have to be set up, Modi told a seminar on `Bihar: Banking on Inclusion` here.
At present, there were 4882 bank branches in Bihar, including 2750 in rural areas, he said.
The state government proposed to distribute pension and scholarships to beneficiaries, including 1.5 students of SC/ST and EBC categories, through banks as availability of funds should not be a problem for the banking institutions, he said.
Banks should also consider providing mobile banking and setting up more ATMs under the multi-channel delivery model, he said.
Modi urged banks in the state not to bother about loss of their loans as the repayment rate by borrowers has improved and the loans were safe.
He said that the state government has decided to distribute special E-Shakti identity cards online to all citizens above 18 years age at a cost of Rs 631 crore.

God vs. Gay: The Religious Case for Equality
October 31, 2011 by HRC staff
The following post comes from Pete Webb with the HRC Board of Governors:
HRC was a proud community sponsor of the October 27 book launch and LGBT networking fair for "God vs. Gay? The Religious Case for Equality" by Jay Michaelson. National Board of Governors members Eric Blomquist and Pete Webb, along with HRC Greater New York steering committee members Britni Jackson, Marilyn Abalos and Martin Cowart represented HRC at the LGBT Center.
We are fortunate to call Jay Michaelson a friend and partner of HRC. He has been instrumental in the success of the recently established Scholarship and Mentorship Program for Religious and Theological Study, an HRC initiative aimed at nurturing the next generation of LGBT theologians and faith community leaders.
"God vs. Gay" is a unique and needed contribution to the debate surrounding inclusion and equality within the religious community and society at large. Michaelson artfully articulates how LGBT people are a gift to theology and to religious communities and he communicates this through thoughtful and respectful engagement with text and scripture.
What is perhaps the most indispensable contribution this book makes to public discourse is its accessibility – "God vs. Gay" is not only theologically sound, but is written so that all can engage and apply its lessons to the pressing and tangible work of equality. Whether your work includes advancing LGBT ordination rights, organizing for marriage equality or advocating for basic, common sense protections on the basis of gender identity and expression, there are a tremendous amount of resources and abundant inspiration to be found here. Michaelson's book is an important tool for all of us who pursue justice not in spite of our religious teachings, but because of them."
