Household Hints

Increases in the budgeted household costs, the degree of environmental pollution, the number of landfills, the use of nitrogen-phosphorus-potassium fertilizers, and the volume of trash are among the events that happen when composting is not done. Composting produces dark-colored, fresh-smelling, nutrient-rich organic matter from recycling kitchen scraps and yard debris. The materials to be composted otherwise tend to end up in landfills, source of greenhouse gases, and to favor higher household costs directed to using store-bought amendments, fertilizers, and mulches instead of the home-made equivalents in compost.

There's no scheduled time frame to replace household utensils. Replace them when they break, wear out or deteriorate to the extent they cannot function properly or cannot be cleaned.

Each female fly is capable of laying up to 2000 eggs many of which may reach adult life with in twelve days. These new young flies are then ready to start the cycle all over again.

WHY FLIES ARE DANGEROUS

Flies do not only carry germs on their feet and legs, but also inside their bodies. Every fly has a sort of pouch or reservoir which it fills when it eats. After taking a full meal at some filthy rubbish dump, the fly wings its way to some more comfortable spot where it can rest and digest its meal. There the fly transfers this filthy material from the pouch to its own stomach often leaving parts of the meal behind. This is what causes fly spots on walls and ceilings, and perhaps even on your own food if you are careless enough to allow flies inside your house.

Configuration (contained or uncontained piles) to employ, location (kitchen, yard) to select, materials (carbon- and nitrogen-rich indoor and outdoor recyclables), and uses (amendment, fertilizer, mulch) to prioritize are compost strategies. The term strategy refers to the realization of large-scale, long-term planning, all of which is involved in the above-mentioned decision-making.

Compost at the bottom of the container has been there longest and will be the most decomposed of the pile.

It is not our policy to recommend products, but the Egyptian Cotton brand of luxury sheets is well-known and respected; these sheets have a higher thread count and tend to be better-made. (There are knock-off brands with a similar name, but you will see they do not feel the same as the actual Egyptian cotton sheets.) That said, it is not clear that there are health benefits to buying them. Those who like this brand believe they are more luxurious, more comfortable, and in some cases, hypo-allergenic. But only you can make the decision if they are right for you.

Duct tape can be used to make many things. A common sight is wallets made from duct tape. Regular uses for duct tape include fixing just about anything that is broken. The saying goes 'If its meant to move and doesn't, use WD40. If it moves and it isn't meant to, use duct tape.'
