Steam distillation yield mint essential oil.

From the essential oil you have two options: Extraction, reduction, and purification. Or you can take the essential oil and perform a re-crystallization.

The first would be to take the distillant, dry it, and isolate your essential oil. Then perform an ethanol extraction on it several times to get most of the methanol out. Then NaOH washes to remove random impurities and alkaloids, then you want to dry it again (Na2SO4 would be ideal). Then you rotovap off your dried ethanol solvent. You should have crude methanol. Take this and perform a cold finger sublimation. Scrape your methanol crystals off the cold finger and bam, pure Methanol.

Or you can perform a re crystallization, but I'm not exactly sure what solvent you would use. so that would take more research, but I know it can be done.

Caraway grows in zones 3-9

In a warm temperate climate it will take about ten days for the seedlings to emerge and three to four months for them to flower. In a cooler area, it will be slightly longer than these times.

Different types of shrubs have important healing properties. Some of these shrubs are periwinkle, which is helpful in managing diabetes, and St. Johnâ??s Wort, which is good for sores and pain.

opossums. 29 species.

Pot or root bound plants need to be re-potted into a larger pot. Do not go up more than two sizes in your pot.

Place a piece of coffee filter paper over the bottom of the new pot, (works better then pebbles or other things common used for drainage) add potting mixture to a point where the current root ball will sit on it and be level with the upper edge of the pot. Remove the plant from its old container, loosen the roots from their circular habit, and place the plant into the new pot. Add potting mixture around the root ball and tamp firmly in. Water the plant well and place in an appropriate location.

I think it relates to the mix of nitrogen, phosphorus, & potassium I don't get the 16 as a measure but this is what they represent.

16-16-16 is the relative percentage % of Nitrogen (N), Phosphorous (P), and Potassium(K) (in the form of Potash).

Miracle Gro is 15-30-15 meaning that mixture is 15% N, 30% K2O5, & 15% P2O.

Plants use these nutrients to develop different parts; N builds strong leaves, Phosphate builds strong roots, and Potash promotes root development and disease resistance.

A useful memory device is: "Up, Down, All-Around".

The #'s represent how much of the N-P-K is put out in a 1000 sq ft.

THIS ANSWER IS PARTIALLY INCORECT. Generally correct, but the middle number is P2O5% (not P or P2O) and the last number is K2O% (not K or K2O5). You can convert P2O5 to P by multiplying by 43.7% (there is that much phosphorus (P) in P2O5; the rest is oxygen (O)). You can convert K2O to K by multiplying by 83.3%.

I understand that this plant originates in Mexico and the Caribbean, so why would there be a common name in Bengal, which is in northern India? It is also called Moses in the Bushes, and Boat Lily.

The question can't be answered because the definition on what is herbs is fluently. Some trees can be both seen as a herb and as a tree, some flowers can also be herbs and some herbs are actually dryed roots that some would define as a herb and others wouldnt, so there is to loose limits so count it exacly But you can be sure there is many hundreds of herbs:)

Tulsi, also known as holy basil, is often referred to as the queen of herbs. It is highly revered in Ayurvedic medicine for its medicinal properties and is considered sacred in Hindu culture. Tulsi is known for its adaptogenic and immune-boosting qualities.

Mint is a very prolific plant that will keep growing almost no matter what you do to it. I'm not sure there is a "proper" way to trim it. Some use their fingernails to break off individual leaves as they are needed. Personally, I use a pair of scissors and cut the stems. You can hang them upside to dry for use later or use them fresh. You want to do many cuttings through the season, this keeps the mint in control of spreading and becoming mammoth and also keeps it from going to seed so you can have more cuttings through the season. You can make a mint pesto, tea, mint oil, mint sachets for drawers and closets and it also keeps mice away. It roots very easily as well so if you put in a vase it will root within a week or two and then you can replant in another area or in pots to have all year long as long as it does not go to seed. (going to seed is when the herb flowers and then dries into seeds) the plant will usually die down once this happens.

Yes, damaged seedlings do regenerate new sprouts and no, they do not. The particular response is dependent upon the herbaceous or woody plant in question and the type of damage. For example, Quercus muehlenbergii (chestnut, chinkapin, rock, or yellow oak) generally regenerates in wildfire-ravaged habitats.

No, fresh herb plants that fruit flies and gnats cannot be eaten. The insects in question respectively may vector food- and soil-borne diseases and pathogens. Prevention of bacteria, diseases, germs, infections and viruses starts with proper sanitation, through keeping oneself and what one eats as clean as possible and as clear of pathogen-vectoring and pesticide-sprayed pests.

Italian herbs typically need a high amount of sun. Heather enjoys sunny meadows in a warm climate. The more light you can provide it, the happier it will be.

The attainment of the appropriate environmental configuration and of the proper internal sequencing is the indication of how soon plants sprout. The timing may not be predicted in general since it varies by species. It ranges from days in some cases and weeks in others, at the minimum and under optimum conditions.

Depending on their use, green onion or also known as scallion will be your most ideal trade out. It is a bit bigger, but still conical shaped and slices into rings nicely, and although it has a stronger onion taste and scent, it is still less than actually using an onion.

You can't. Only Naruto can do it.

Edit: The asker means how does Naruto do it. Why would he wanna

waste his time trying to do some pixels?

If you mean the Rasenshuriken, that is the combination of Wind Affinity +

Chakra Shape Transformation molded together with 2 shadow clones

simultaneously to produce that jutsu.

If you mean Fuuton: Rasengan, that is just the completed version of the

Rasengan that Minato Namikaze originally wanted with his in-complete Rasengan.

Naruto adds Wind Release into his Rasengan, but is harder to master.

Ask him things about himself, don't make it all about you.

It was once used as bandages an d still can be. The juice in it heals things like bea stings and sores and wounds so it's basicly a band-aid with neosporin( the gooey medicine you sometimes put on band-aids is called that right?) on it.
