Insights for Successful Campaigns from Barrett Carson
Barrett Carson, now Vice President of Development at the Georgia Institute of Technology (Georgia Tech), was the speaker at this week's Atlanta AFP Breakfast meeting . Having led many campaigns in his tenure at higher education institutions, he has had particular success at Georgia Tech (GT). He was asked to share some insights with those gathered there.
I took notes and they follow here. I present them here as he did, as "food for thought". His experience is palpable so he just shared the keys he seemed to think would be most helpful to the rest of us. Am sure everyone took away pieces and parts they found useful and so I share my notes here.
Since joining GT in 1997, his first campaign was set for $300 million but ended with $715 million. Currently having exceeded $1.5 billion for this state university, he expressed his dismay that their fundraising organization is now ranked 53 in the world!
- Define the campaign's scope: Comprehensive or just Capital needs. For him, Comprehensive refers to wall-to-wall needs. It's the type of effort he has focused on while at Georgia Tech.
- Establish metrics that make sense for the organization from the outset to track progress
- Diligence, discipline and reporting are easy words to list but key to achieving success
- A campaign, by definition, elevates the sights of an institution. To that end he urged the audience to make the commitment never to revert to the staff or energy levels found during pre-campaign status
- Specifically, don't gear up just to lay-off.
- He is careful annually throughout the life of a campaign to add staff positions, which had been taken on for campaign purposes, to become part of his annual budget. The idea is that by end of campaign those extra dollars allotted to new staff are by then part of his annual budget, allowing all new hires to be permanent members of the team. He never wants to step back to pre-campaign thinking or performance
- When choosing staff choose who can be self-sustaining. Pay more to get better folks and then expect more of them. And demand that they do so without close supervision
- Hire for collegiality not for rainmaking. Think long-term relationships with staff as well as donors. Their average tenure of staff at GT Development is 15 years
- Define the Case for Support based on your organization's aspirations. Temper each with reality and then set priorities and goals accordingly
- Be diligent about accounting. Use accepted methodologies such as those set forth by CASE or CAE; make your own decisions as to how to "count" different gift types, like planned gifts, and then stick to it. Report each accordingly. Don't deviate from your methodology
- Outside fundraising counsel can be extremely valuable to leadership as an external source of legitimacy. As he explained it, his counsel often functioned as a sounding board for leadership's new ideas. But be sure to hire the person, not the firm. You'll be working with the person, not the firm.
- Perhaps the most useful, not-to-be-overlooked statement to fundraisers was his view that Development is not to be evaluated for its cost center to an organization, but rather they are to be viewed as a Revenue Center. If management agrees, the organization will succeed because the fundraisers are then seen as respected, well-paid achievers/revenue producers

In Support of Optimists Everywhere!
2014 GIVING USA: Summary
Giving USA: Americans Gave #335.17 Billion to Charity in 2013: Total Approached Pre-Recession Peak- See more at: http://www.philanthropy.iupui.edu/news/article/giving-usa-2014#sthash.ImgXmcMb.dpuf
More specifics and quick summaries were provided by David King, President of Alexander Haas said at the monthly meeting of the Association for Fundraising Professionals — Greater Atlanta on June 17.
The biggest finding for fundraisers this year is that corporate giving is down to its lowest level in 35 years.
As reported by the Atlanta Business Chronicle, King said, "Giving by corporations decreased by 1.9 percent in 2013. Corporate giving as a percentage of pre-tax profits was at 0.8 percent in 2013. The last time it was that low was in 1979.high-water mark was in 1986 when corporations gave away 2 percent of their pre-tax profits, and it has steadily declined ever since… 65 percent of all corporate giving is in non-cash donations — and 21 percent of that giving is pharmaceuticals. So the actual giving of charitable dollars by corporations is much lower than the 0.8 percent."
Interestingly, religion, though still the single largest sector, continues its decline. "In 1987, 53 percent of all charitable donations were to religious institutions, and now that has dropped to just 31 percent."
During a recession, giving usually shifts to human services and the recent "Great Recession" was no different. Yet now that the economy is improving, charitable giving once more returns "to sectors that contribute to a community's quality of life"…. "Giving to the arts, environment/animal and health organizations showed strong increases in 2013."
Education seems to be the biggest winner as the economy improves. "Between 2009 and 2013, giving to education is up 37 percent."
A Closer Look at the Data by "Giving USA":
- Giving by individuals increased 4.2 percent (2.7 percent adjusted for inflation) from the revised estimate of $230.91 billion in 2012.
- Giving by corporations decreased 1.9 percent (-3.2 percent adjusted for inflation) from the revised estimate of $18.22 billion in 2012.
- Giving by foundations increased 5.7 percent (4.2 percent adjusted for inflation) from the revised estimate of $46.34 billion in 2012.
- Giving by bequest increased 8.7 percent (7.2 percent adjusted for inflation) from the revised estimate of $25.50 billion in 2012.
- Giving to religion was flat (-0.2 percent) between 2012 and 2013, with an estimated $105.53 billion in contributions. Inflation-adjusted giving to the religion subsector declined 1.6 percent.
- Giving to education is estimated to have increased 8.9 percent between 2012 and 2013, to $52.07 billion. Adjusted for inflation, giving to education organizations increased 7.4 percent.
- Giving to human services increased by an estimated 2.2 percent in 2013, totaling
- $41.51 billion. Adjusted for inflation, giving to human services organizations increased by 0.7 percent.
- Giving to foundations is estimated to have declined by 15.5 percent in 2013, to $35.74 billion. Adjusted for inflation, giving to foundations declined 16.7 percent.
- Giving to health organizations is estimated to have increased 6.0 percent between 2012 and 2013 (an increase of 4.5 percent, adjusted for inflation), to $31.86 billion.
- Giving to public-society benefit organizations increased by an estimated 8.5 percent between 2012 and 2013, to $23.89 billion. Adjusted for inflation, giving to public-society benefit organizations grew 7.0 percent.
- Giving to arts, culture, and humanities is estimated to have increased 7.8 percent between 2012 and 2013, to $16.66 billion. Adjusted for inflation, giving to the arts, culture, and humanities subsector increased 6.3 percent.
- Giving to international affairs is estimated to be $14.93 billion in 2013, a decrease of 6.7 percent from 2012. Adjusted for inflation, giving to international affairs organizations declined by 8.0 percent.
- Giving to environmental and animal organizations is estimated to have increased 7.5 percent between 2012 and 2013, to $9.72 billion. Adjusted for inflation, donations to the environment/animals subsector increased 6.0 percent.
- Giving to individuals is estimated to have risen 1.4 percent between 2012 and 2013, to $3.7 billion. The bulk of these donations are in-kind gifts of medications to patients in need, made through the Patient Assistance Programs of pharmaceutical companies' operating foundations.
In Memoriam: Ted Kloss
On April 11, 2014, I lost my best friend, my mentor and creative muse, Ted Kloss.
Although I first met him in 1978, when I was representing architectural graphics manufacturers, I really came to love him after deciding to start my own firm in 1985. He could not have been more helpful or totally supportive of me, my ideas and the talents he saw in me. He never wavered from his special, whole-hearted, loving friendship and guidance.
And, happily for me over the years, I slowly began to believe him. That sort of confidence-in-one's-self is a gift that no one else in my business life ever offered and maintained; it set me on a course for creative problem-solving and consultation to others utilizing my own unique interests and skills. It serves me still.
An interior designer throughout his professional life, Ted viewed all of life as an interesting and creative challenge. Full of energy, music, playfulness and impeccable taste, he just innately knew how best we humans should experience our visual and physical environments…..in comfort. I've known and worked with literally 100′s of designers. None were ever as comprehensive in thought about the client as he.
So, when you ever consider the quality, ease of functionality and perfect appropriateness of our work over these years, see it all as a total reflection of him, his point of view, his design direction. I take him, his lessons, and his love everywhere with me now. Thank you, Ted.

Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)
The Church's "yes" to authentic human marriage and its incalculable value to the spouses, to family life, and to the common good, compels her to say "no" to cheap imitations. All that glisters is not gold, especially if it already shows signs of rust and tarnish. The Church knows the gold of human sexuality that is open to the gift of children expressed between a man and woman within marriage, and can therefore recognize the alternative visions--the base metals--of human sexuality that present a corrosive human sexuality that is not ordered to life or to any authentic human good.
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

Published in Marriage & Family
Keywords: homosexual marriage, gay marriage, social realism, marriage, natural institution, Andrew M. Greenwell
CORPUS CHRISTI, TX (Catholic Online) - Homosexual sexual activity is expressly condemned by the Scriptures honestly interpreted. (See Gen. 19:5-8; Lev. 18:22-23; Lev. 20:13; 1 Tim. 1:9-10; Rom. 1:26-27; Jude 7) It follows that, from a Scriptural standpoint, any institution--such as same-sex "marriage" or civil unions--which encourage or advance such activity is against the common good. This is also the fixed position of the Church's Magisterium. See, e.g., the CDFs Homosexualitatis problema and Persona humana, and the PCFs, Family, Marriage, and 'De Facto' Unions.
But the Church's stance against homosexual activity and same-sex "marriage" is not only, or even principally, based upon the "no" to homosexual activity in Scripture. That is like saying that the heart of the city of Jerusalem is its city walls. Walls define and protect a city, but they are not the city.
Rather, the Church's stance against homosexual activity and same-sex "marriage" is based upon an absolute and uncompromising "yes" to the reality of marriage presented in both Scripture and nature. In other words, it is based upon reality, moral reality. She sees something her opponents either do not see, or refuse to see.
It is the Church's resolute "yes" to conjugal love, the spousal meaning of the body, and the meaning of the complementarity of the sexes, to its ordering to pro-creation, that necessarily requires a "no" to homosexual activity. It is this truth--this reality which is freeing and which all refusal to abide by it is enslaving--that the Church's jealously protects from those intent to breach its walls.
The least bit of a "yes" to homosexual sexual activity--even a "maybe"--would necessarily mean a less-than-absolute "yes" to marriage as nature and nature's God intended it to be. It would be a breach in the walls of the city, the poisoning of the city's wells. It would be moral apostasy, and a capitulation to moral barbarism. It is not the first time the Church has set itself against the barbarian and sided with civilization. It is not the first time that she has been attacked or ridiculed for it.
"Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth," wrote Blessed John Paul II in his encyclical Fides et ratio. Faith and reason are likewise the two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth in marriage.
Those who advance homosexual "marriage" as a plausible reality are either being irrational or unfaithful to God, or both irrational and unfaithful to God. It is impossible to advocate same-sex "marriage" and be both reasonable and faithful to God.
Same-sex "marriage" is not about equality, because authentic equality has to be based upon reality. An equality based upon unreality is ideology. "One law for the lion and the ox is oppression." One marriage law for the heterosexual and the homosexual is oppression. Homosexual "marriage" is not about equality, but about oppression.
The Church's "yes" to authentic human marriage and its incalculable value to the spouses, to family life, and to the common good, compels her to say "no" to cheap imitations. All that glisters is not gold, especially if it already shows signs of rust and tarnish. The Church knows the gold of human sexuality that is open to the gift of children expressed between a man and woman within marriage, and can therefore recognize the alternative visions--the base metals--of human sexuality that present a corrosive human sexuality that is not ordered to life or to any authentic human good.
Saying "yes" to the gold standard requires saying "no" to lesser, inferior, even counterfeit standards that are found in premarital sex, masturbation, contraceptive sex, adultery, polygamy (serial and parallel), and sodomy. There is nothing irrational in the Church wanting all her children--indeed all of humanity--to buy happiness with the gold dubloon of marriage, than to try to buy it with the lead slug of some alternative sexual counterfeit. On marriage, the Church--like the Father her founder, Jesus, revealed--will not equate stone for bread, or a scorpion for an egg. (Luke 11:11)
In his encyclical Humanae vitae, Pope Paul VI affirmed the Church's long-standing prohibition against artificial contraception. This proscription was a "no" to protect a greater "yes" to authentic spousal love, and was based upon the "two wings" of faith and reason. "It is impossible to understand the Church's teaching in this regard . . . unless we have an integral vision of man and of his vocation, not only his natural and earthly, but also his supernatural and eternal vocation," wrote Pope Paul VI. HV, No. 7. We can know the "natural and earthly" by reason. We know the "supernatural and eternal" by faith.
One such "integral vision" of man and his vocation, in particular as it comes to human marriage, is found in the remarkable series of 129 catechetical addresses given by Blessed John Paul II between September 1979 and November 1984. These were based upon earlier talks on the subject by John Paul II when he was Archbishop Karol Wojtyla of Krakow.
In these talks, drawing from Scripture and Thomistic realism to find an objective anchor in revelation and creation, and recruiting the phenomenological method and its personalist and subjective emphasis, Pope John Paul, in what only can be called a tour de force, puts forth an "integral vision" of man and woman and human sexuality. This "integral vision" is popularly given the name "Theology of the Body."
We might invoke Cardinal Newman. The Theology of the Body, like Catholicism, "is a deep matter, you cannot take it up in at teacup." One cannot give even a reasonable synopsis of John Paul II's Theology of the Body and what it may mean in the context of same-sex "marriage" in a three-page article, and do it justice. Michael Waldstein's splendid edition of Pope John Paul II's talks adds up to more than 700 pages. At best, one can only introduce the subject, and encourage others to pick up Waldstein's edition of the Pope's talks and read. Tolle, lege! Tolle, lege! Take up and read! Take up and read!
Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body is built upon solid, incontrovertible foundational piers. First, he relies on the teachings of Jesus found in the 19th chapter of the Gospel of Matthew. To answer the question of divorce, Jesus turns to the question of what is marriage. Jesus goes "to the beginning," and points to creation as the source for answering questions about marriage.
"Have you not read that from the beginning the Creator 'made them male and female' and said, 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?" (Matt. 19:4-5; see also Gen. 1:27; 2:24)
We might distill the importance of Jesus' teachings by focusing on the italicized terms. We have to go to the beginning: at creation, to how man was before the Fall. Then we have to relate this to man as we find him after the Fall. We have to realize that at the beginning mankind is one, but also two: male and female. We have to see that one-man-in-two-sexes was, and still is, part of the Creator's plan, and this plan is fulfilled in the personal joinder of man and woman which culminates in the conjugal act, the sexual act within marriage, where they become "one flesh." Intrinsically connected to the conjugal act is the power of pro-creation. "Be fruitful, and multiply!" (Gen. 1:28)
These truths helped Jesus show his questioners why divorce was wrong. These same truths help us see why same-sex "marriage" is wrong.
The differentiation of the sexes was part of God's original intent. It is part of the gift of creation. The gift of mankind--the image of God--being divided into male and female raises the question: What is the purpose, the giver's intention, behind this gift?
The gift of the complementarity of the sexes is intended to promote communion. (That is why Scripture uses it as an analogy for the relationship between Christ and his Church.) The natural result of that communion is participation in God's creative powers--pro-creation. The gift of sexual complementarity found in Creation is therefore tied to the gift of pro-creation inherent in the sexual act, so that any severance between the nuptial act and its various purposes or meanings, in particular the procreative meaning, is an abuse of the gift. There is, therefore, a nuptial, pro-creative meaning behind our sexual differentiation as male and female. This feature of our existence is called the "nuptial meaning of the body."
Really, if we would just listen to the message of our bodies (instead of trying to justify our lusts, our disordered desires, or our life choices, or jumping on a political bandwagon), we would "hear" that the differentiation of the sexes and their natural complementarity just screams "nuptial love." Our bodies have this message written all over them, and where the body is there is the person. If we cannot see this, we are morally blind. If we do not "hear" this, we are morally deaf. If we are not capable of "reading" this message, we are morally illiterate. We need some serious moral remedial education, one generally brought about only by grace and conversion.
Using our bodies, in particular their sexual faculties, for something other than expressing this "nuptial love" within marriage is an abuse of the gift, a refusal to acknowledge the Giver and his intent behind the gift, and so is, and must always be as long as we live within reality, seriously sinful. It is a grave act of ingratitude.
"In all things give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ concerning you all." (1 Thess. 5:18). Giving thanks to God for the gift of sexuality means that we will never entertain its abuse, and if we do, that we ask God's forgiveness. The Church teaches these things "that you may not sin," but "if any man sin, we have an advocate with the father, Jesus Christ the just." (1 John 2:1)
Same-sex sexual desire is--by definition--not ordered toward nuptial love and not possibly ordered to being pro-creative. For that reason, the Church teaches that the desire itself is disordered, not a positive good but a privation or lack of sorts, and that acting out that desire--by knowing and voluntary homosexual genital activity or even by internal consent to such--is in each and every case, a mortal sin.
Of course, homosexual desire is not the only sexual disorder from which men and women suffer. There are disordered sexual desires of all kinds, affecting men and women of all stripes. It should be no news to the person suffering from homosexual desires that he or she, like his or her fellows, may be caught up in a web disordered sexual desires. Welcome to the club of Fallen man!
But fact that we humans to greater or lesser extent may suffer from disordered desires, including homosexuality among others, does not justify our acting upon them. The only human response, which is to say, the only Christian response, is to ask God's grace to overcome these dispositions and to strive, through spiritually-disciplined life, through prayer, sacraments, and proper spiritual and psychological guidance, toward a life of virtue. Welcome to the club of the Redeemed!

Living Large in a Small House
Here is another good website with some great ideas.
Here is a link that might be useful: Living Large in a Small House
You've been busy. I've been to BG site before. If you sign up they will send new articles. Although I hadn't seen the narrow bath pics/article before. These are new and worth a look. Most of the baths posted on our forum have very similar layouts as the site pics. Well worth a stroll.
There are so many ideas I would love to have. But I run into things like the pic with two window seats and a heavenly arch over the builtins. I'd love to have something like that in my kitchen, but there isn't any place to even begin the possibility. So we really have to be creative in considering a like design. Although I have been thinking about redoing my art/office room and their design is a great start.

The 2012 Tablas Creek Vineyard Vermentino is Tablas Creek's eleventh bottling of this traditional Mediterranean varietal, known principally in Sardinia, Corsica, and Northern Italy. It is also grown in the Rhone Valley (particularly Côtes de Provence) where it is known as Rolle. The Vermentino grape produces wines that are bright, clean, and crisp, with distinctive citrus character, refreshing acidity and surprising richness.
When we imported our Châteauneuf du Pape clones, our contact in the French nursery service included Vermentino because he believed it would thrive in the rocky limestone soils of Paso Robles. We have planted two small blocks of Vermentino, and it has indeed thrived here.
Our Vermentino grapes were grown on our 120-acre certified organic estate vineyard.
The 2012 vintage was a classic Paso Robles vintage, warm and sunny, but with above-average yields thanks to average winter rainfall and the frost-reduced 2011 crop. Despite the warm summer, ripening was slowed due to the healthy crop levels, and harvest at a normal time starting in early September and finishing in late October. The Vermentino blocks were harvested between September 11th and September 19th.
The Vermentino grapes were whole cluster pressed, and fermented using native yeasts in stainless steel to emphasize the minerality of the grapes. The wine was bottled in March 2013.
The 2012 Vermentino shows an zesty, citrusy nose that also includes the fresh green herbs and pronounced minerality characteristic of Vermentino. In the mouth, an initial impression of richness quickly turns crisp, with great acids, just a hint of tropical fruit, and a long, bright, meyer lemon/key lime finish.

There are certain spots in Dallas that belong in a category that is beyond critique. These institutions are engrained in every lifelong Dallasite and should be revered much like that wise, elderly uncle who spins wise about his first love. Every city has such restaurants, and we have ours in North Texas that are enveloped in a flag of taste memories.
The first bite into a postage stamp-sized slice of Campisi's pizza can fulfill such a memory for many. Forget the fact the mushrooms are not from Tom Spicer and the sausage wasn't made at Jimmy's Food Store. You won't find lithe slivers of handmade charcuterie on the pizza, and that is okay. This is the classic stuff made famous by the likes of Jack Ruby. Who are we to argue? Continue reading

Anyone use epsom salt as fertilizer for houseplants?
Hello everyone! I haven't posted here in awhile.It's good to be back. I saw the tail end of a story on the afternoon news last week.There was a woman from a nursery who said t epsom salt is a good thing to use on houseplants. She said it makes the plants grow and thrive. Has anyone else tried this? How much epsom salt do I use? Would 1tsp per gallon be suffcient? I have an aspidistra,some pothos,a zz,parlor palm,sago,spineless yucca,several ficus,calamondin(sp?) citrus,hoyas,and some philos that I'd like to try this with.Should I not use the epsom on any of the plants that I've mention?
Thanks for the help.
Hey GRICE!!!!! How are you??? Long time no see for sure. How have you been? Where have you been hiding? I'm happy seeing you here.
Okay regarding Espom Salts. People who add ES swear it makes a big difference. In fact, last summer, a woman I met on the internet, and who happens to live in IL, gave me a beautiful Mandarin Orange. She used ES's liberally, and I have to say, the citrus is gorgous. She used a lot more than recommended on the pacakage. Every leaf is vibrant green, and very healthy.
This is the dosage on ES's bag. For house plants, mix one teaspoon per gallon of water and feed (their word) to plants every one to four weeks. It also says, for quicker results, water plants after applying this product.
There is also a dossages for outdoor plants, so if you need additional information let me know..
I notice (most) generic ES brands, do not detail use on houseplants. Wonder why?
Grice, don't be a stranger. I'm really happy seeing you. At least you're still growing plants. Some people have given up. Please keep us posted..hugs, Toni
PS..ES's aren't use in place of fertilizer. It's to be used along with fertilizer. It's an additional Magnesium Sulfate. Keeps foliage green.
speaking of Epsom Salts, I was curious....Can they turn clay pots white, even cause white crust. I remember I mixed some into soil then planted some plants in clay pots, and within 6 months, I had white crust, thick as could be falling off the sides and top of my pots. The only fertilzer I was using at that time was Neptunes fish harvest.
So basically, if one starts to use ES within their clay pots, can we expect this to happen to the pots? I think the word SALT in Epsom makes me question it.
Take care all of you!! :-)
Hello Toni!I'm fine.How have you been? I'm sorry to be such a stranger. I'll email you in the next day or so(if you don't mind).Yes I'm still growing the plants.All are doing well except for the yucca. It's being tempermental but I'm not going to let her get the best of me lol. I know what you mean about the generic epsom salts and the directions. I bought a carton today at CVS and it says nothing at all about using for plants. I'm not sure why the company wouldn't give directions for all its uses. If I ever want to take a long spa like soak then they have the directions for that covered lol. How are your plants,pets,&family? Thanks for the instructions for use of the salts on my plants. I'll send that email off no later than Thursday. Toni it's always good to hear from you my friend.You've made my day!!!:):):)
Anything furnished to a plant that includes any of the elements necessary for plant growth is a fertilizer. It may not be a balanced or complete fertilizer, but it IS a fertilizer.
To me, it makes no sense to select an element at random and simply furnish it to a plant in the hope that it will somehow help - especially if you have no clue what the result of furnishing that element might be.
For most of you, those using a bagged soil, the soil will have been pH adjusted with dolomitic lime, which is a source of both Ca and Mg in the same compound and in the proper ratio. As it slowly breaks down, it releases the Ca and Mg and plants can take it up. IF the soil somehow becomes deficient in Mg (the ONLY reason you would EVER need to add Epsom salts), it will also almost certainly be deficient in Ca.
Ca and Mg are what is termed 'antagonistic' in soils. This means that how much of one is in the soil affects how much of the other can be taken up. The most favorable ratio of Ca to Mg is about 4 parts Ca to 1 part Mg. When you start adding Mg at the extremely high rate (for one element) of 550 ppm as suggested by 1 tsp/gallon, you virtually insure an antagonistic Ca deficiency unless you add about 2,200 ppm Ca. Plants should not be asked to tolerate these dosages, added to their other nutrient needs, plus the dissolved solids in the water you water with.
For as long as I can remember, and I'm guessing I have some memories from 66-67 years ago, persons have recommended "Epsom salts" for one darn thing or another.
BTW, why is Magnesium sulfate a chemical compound containing magnesium and sulfate, with the formula MgSO4 called "salts" with an "s" on the end of the word salt?
Anyhow - my grandmother often started statements with "anyhow" - to my knowledge no one has ever demonstrated any spectacular or even particularly impressive uses for the sutff in the home or garden. The persistence of stories about Epson salts seems to be a result of the fact that it has a cosmetic effect when added to a bath or soak and it is a cheap laxitive. I suppose if your plants show some need for additional magnesium it would be a quick fix.
I doubt it, but am not positive. Then again you could try it & see.
In the past, I have mixed some ES into my watering to no ill effects. I saw no evidence of it building up on my clay pots. Then again, I only did it in moderation.
I've heard of ES being applied more to outdoor plants (like roses & or azaleas) than indoor plants.
Yes it can/does, Mike. Since it's a dissolved solid in solution, when the water goes away (evaporates) the solids are left behind in the soil, or in your case, on the outside of the pots. Tap water does the same thing as it evaporates, leaving behind ANYTHING dissolved in the water.
If symptoms indicate you have reason to suspect a Mg deficiency, it makes much more sense to add dolomitic (garden) lime to the soil which also adds Ca in the proper proportion. The only situation you'd be likely to encounter where you wouldn't need to add additional Ca is if you run across a soil that had gypsum instead of lime added as a Ca source to keep soil pH lower. THEN, it would be appropriate to add Mg (Epsom salts) only, but it would be highly unusual for you to encounter a soil like this, unless you made it yourself.
Thnaks all. thank Al to. I have made my own, the way you showd me and only added gypsum. The fertilizer you prepared for me in the MG has added epsom right?
So I am prepared to see my pots turn white as soon as I start fertilizing with your mix you shared. At least this way I know it is nothing growing on my pots due to something bad.
Thanks alot to you all. So epsom salts can turn clay pots white.:-)
That's right, Mike.
Grice - I basically said: * It's pretty silly to just go adding stuff to plants & hope it works. * That there is a relationship between Magnesium and Calcium in soils, and that too much Epsom salts will make it impossible for a plant to absorb Calcium. * To use garden lime if your plant is KNOWN to have a magnesium deficiency because it has the Calcium to go along with the Magnesium & you won't have an imbalance like you will when you only add Epsom salts.
Any better? ;o)
Hey Grice, I'd love hearing from you. I sure miss emailing like we used to. I hope everything's okay at your end. When someone disappears there's a 'story' behind it. And most aren't good.
Well, I'll explain later. I'm okay, pets and plants fine, but still have mega problems w/son. U know how it goes..I thank God for plants and pets, otherwise I'd give up.
As I stated above, I only used ES's once, this year. The people I have talked to who use ES';s been adding for years, and vow by it, which is one reason I went ahead and bought a bag. It never hurts to experiment, and since ES's aren't chemicals, I have no problem 'experimenting' to see how plants look afterwards, though it may take a few months to notice a difference, and if there is a difference to notice. LOL.
Some people say cigarette ashes are good for plants, but that's something I've never tried. LOL. For one thing I'd be worried it'd start on fire. Although, I got hold of cig butts, (when a new Gardenia I got had scale, before knowing Fish Emulsion would rid them) so I made a batch of cig butts in water for 24 hours. To be honest, it didn't kill the scale. Then I applied a strong insecticide, followed directions to a T, only to have the plant die. From that day on, and this was about 1995, I never again used chemcial insecticides, and won't.
When you have time, drop me a line or two or ten..LOl..hugs, Toni
grice, magnesium is one of the essential elements in the chlorophyll molecule and if it is in short supply, the leaf color pales but in a particular pattern. On most leaves there will be a green(er) triangle-shaped area at the base of the leaf. On many grasses it shows up as a yellowing between the veins. The trouble is that the latter symptom can be due to other reasons. I would expect the healthy leaf to have about 0.75% Mg. As far as I remember Epsom salt was obtained by boiling down water from springs at Epsom in England. As to why 'salts' and not 'salt', spring water contains many salts and my supposition is that any product obtained by boiling down spring water would be called 'salts'. Long ago and far away, we were given 'salts' or 'Epsom salt' as a purgative. Both were magnesium sulfate. Trivially, there is a colloquial idiom around this concept as in "he passed through the village like a dose of salts!"
In exterior lawn care, elements like iron, magnesium and manganese are used instead of nitrogen for 'greening'. The advantage of this is that one gets the prettier shade of green without the additional growth and the accompanying extra mowing.
The pharmaceutical product is less expensive presumably because it is used in a bath for soothing the feet and discarded. The horticultural product must pass strict labelling criteria and this testing is expensive.
I almost forgot the one, fun application of magnesium sulphate. We used it for frosting plain glass.
But these days one has to use a product in accordance with its labelling.
Hi, Karen. Over the years I have come to have plenty of affection for the collective 'you', which is all the forum contributors/participants grouped together. I've made GW an extension of my growing hobbies & spend the time here that perhaps I might be spending watching TV, but I enjoy it here soo much . . . , and the reward in terms of friends being made has been remarkable.
In my travels on GW, I see all manner of bad or often just ineffectual advice. That in itself isn't usually enough to make me want to respond, but if the advice has the potential to harm your plants, or somehow negatively impact the fun/pleasure you get from nurturing them, I feel kind of obligated to respond/point that fact out and offer the reasoning behind why I responded or dissented.
Take good care. ;o)
Thank you Al.That's much better :). I prefer the "Plant Growing Guide For Dummies" approach LOL.
Thank you Rona!
Toni I sent you an email. I'm not sure if you got it or not but it's always good hearing from you and my friends here on GW. Do you still have the same email addy?
I've never tried cig butts before. I have tried the egg shells in water.My mom used them and had wonderful results. I used them and all I got was a smelly house when I opened the jar :( .
I'm so sorry to hear you're having trouble with dear son. Don't you dare give up Toni!That's an order lol.

WOODBURY, N.Y. (AP) — Sarah Palin says she is still thinking about running for president in 2012, but has not made up her mind.
In an hour-long interview in front of a New York business group, Palin said the hiring of a chief of staff last week for her political action committee was an attempt to better organize her life.
She demurred when asked about former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's comments that he might be inclined to run if she does. She called him awesome but didn't elaborate.
The Republican former vice presidential candidate and Alaska's ex-governor appeared before 1,000 business and civic leaders Thursday on New York's Long Island.
Palin forecast an unpredictable presidential election season that will be heavy on social media.

HBO Game of Thrones now beheading George W. Bush for "entertainment" (Video)
I've always said far left progressive liberal Democrats reminded me of Islamic extremists. The only difference is that left wingers never really known for beheading people they disagreed with. Well, even that's starting to change. HBO's Game of Throne is showing a replica of George W. Bush's head appears near when the character King Joffrey takes Sansa Stark out to see the spiked heads of his enemies. This is what progressive liberal Democrats consider "entertainment" these days. HBO is bad enough with Obama's million dollar pig Bill Maher, but now beheading George W. Bush for "entertainment?" When is the madness going to stop?http://www.fireandreamitchell.com/2012/06/13/hbo-game-of-thrones-now-beheading-george-w-bush-for-entertainment/Latest RamblingsLeft Wing ExtremistsLiberal Media BiasLeft Wing Extremists,Liberal Media Bias

It's stupid-easy to flambé (flame) food: Cook it, pour on booze, lean back and light, listen to people go "ooh" and say you're a genius. Prepared outdoors, bananas flambé, aka Foster, has immense wow power. This is one is simpler than standard recipes.
You need:
Brown sugar, cinnamon (optional)
A saute pan that will survive a couple of rounds on a fire or grill
Plates, bowls, spoons
Butane lighter
Have the lighter and an ounce-and-a-half of rum poured out in a cup ready and close. Heat butter in pan. Peel and split bananas lengthwise and drop in pan, lightly browning them on both sides. Sprinkle on optional sugar and cinnamon. Take pan off fire/grill, set it down, pour on rum, and immediately (before alcohol boils off) light. Careful, flames can whoosh way up. Serve while still sizzling, as-is or with ice cream.
