Gardener's Worst Sin
I mixed up the "Keep the Deer Away" concentrate with "Kill all the
Weeds" concentrate. By the grace of Mother Nature I switched the mix AFTER I had sprayed the Roses with correct sprayer. I was just getting the sprayer ready for the next time. I noticed that it didn't seem to smell as bad and thought Ut Ohh. Anyone done the same? MJ |

No, probably because I spray the Repels-All from a manufacturer spray bottle, and I don't use weed killer. However, when using a single sprayer to apply multiple treatments, perhaps you should make a marker you twist-tie to the handle as a clear indicator of what is inside? A piece of vinyl mini blind slat makes a good durable tag, and those plastic wrapped twist wires found restraining childrens' toys into their packaging are useful for tieing them to a handle or bottle neck, etc (I use similar for making row markers with PVC plumbing for stakes). You could blast the marker with coloured spray paint, or tape a piece of coloured electrical tape to it. Red for "poison" or danger or somesuch, Green for some sort of fertilizer, Orange for some pest treatment, etc. When done, empty the sprayer into the original non-spray container (if you haven't used it all up), and return the marker tag to the package associated with that particular chemical, so it's there to be affixed to your sprayer the next time you fill it. Of course, don't forget to rinse the sprayer and flush the pump assembly. Think of them as something like a "remove before flight" safety streamer (as seen frequently on military aircraft when on the ground). I have one on the keyring for one of my performance cars g |

I don't think I can get the weed killer out of the other sprayer to be able to use it again for the deer stuff. Not worth the chance to me. As far as labeling, they of course were, and one was out side and one was in the garage. How old do you have to be to start getting Senior Moments?. I am just so glad it wasn't worse. MJ |

Use differently coloured *and* shaped sprayers for different purposes. Kinda like the differently shaped and coloured jars the chemists had and used for poisons. |

Yes, Monsanto and I are having a Fifty Shades of Gray book signing to commemorate our hot love affair. Glad to hear it. I am thrilled to make you happy. The problem is that ignorance doesn't remain bliss for long. Have you killed any soil today? Here'a bit of advice to dampen your bliss....you're an asshole. There. Now you know. |

Have you killed any soil today? Of course, killing the soil means killing the ecology of the environment. e.g. anphibians. http://www.dw.de/dw/0,,11798,00.html Killing the anphibians of course means more insects, which then require more insecticide (a biocide) to control them, and that impacts everyone who lives in, or eats from that poisoned environment. With fewer poison purveyors like Boron Elgar, we would have a healthier world. And I think I'll change that assertion that you are an asshole. I will, instead, aver that you are certifiably insane. Oh, and a dumb mother****er, too, because really, son, you'd don't know Jack shit about me, now do you? All you know is that I find you a fixated fanatic and when I call you on your outrageous attitude and suggestion to another poster, you rise up on your hind legs like a itty-bitty armadillo. Really, it just invites someone coming along and driving over you with a pick up on a Texas highway. Boron |

, says... I expected other stories of screw ups not, well, what I got. Live and learn Subject line: Garden bloopers... What's your best story? Then you tell yours. And the story you told was an error, but given the potential destruction wasn't very funny when not destroying your crop or the soil matter to the people around you. -- I'm here to say that Certainly not on par with the goat getting into the garden, realizing it was in trouble when the gardener walked in, scaling the woodpile and getting stuck at the too precarious top. "A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum" started to do well when they cut the song "Love is in the air" and replaced it with "A comedy tonight" ...to tell people they were supposed to laugh at the funny bits. |
