MOSQUITOES

 

One of our go-to tricks is to fill a spray bottle with Listerine (the amber kind) and spray the site before pitching the tent. It really does keep away the majority of mosquitoes.

 

If you get pinned

 

do:
– lean aggressively downstream
– put a hand against the rock to stabilize
– continue to lean and use your hand to either pull forward or push backwards to slide off the obstruction

don’t:
– lean upstream, it lowers the canoe ganels or kayak cockpit to catch water and instantly flood.

 

Weed Killer – Safe Alternative

 

Use one gallon of white vinegar, add half a cup of liquid soap and two tablespoons of salt. Shake the mixture. Put the mixture into a spray bottle and spray on the leaves and stems of weeds only, avoiding surrounding plants. This versatile mixture will kill grass between bricks, as well as weeds in the cracks along the driveway and between sidewalk section.

 

Good frame

 

– using twine so less wood needed. A structure that allows you to grow more than one variety of tomato or cucumber side by side, but its compact design doesn’t take up much space in the garden.
