question of the day

Q. I was eating hot sauce and dropped some on my white t-shirt. What can I use to get the stain out?
A. Enzyme digester cleaner or pre-treatment products containing enzymes should be effective on organic stains in laundry. The key is to give the enzymes time to digest the stain. Fibers must be kept wet with cleaner and left to set. Repeat applications may be necessary. Follow-up by washing in all-fabric bleach and detergent.

Placing Trees

The crucial issue, whenever you plant, is choosing a site that drains well. Eliminate obvious problem areas. Dig a foot deep hole and fill it to the brim with water. Wait 24 hours and fill it again. Check on it 12 hours later. If the water is gone, you've found a good spot to plant the tree.
