Baking soda & lawn turf
I had an experience that you may need to know about. I keep baking
soda in the refrigerator for odor control. When I removed it, for some reason I decided to broadcast it off the front porch. Now a few days later I've got a wide brown arc of dead grass where the baking soda settled on it. I guess the sodium in baking soda acts like the sodium in salt, huh? Bob S. |

... In extremely dilute percentages (1% to 4% in oil or soapy water) bicarbonates are used as organic fungicide .... SNIP Paghat, are you a librarian, or do you keep a spare brain in a fanny pack? :-) |
One other use I've used for baking soda... is to poor it
into a clogged sink and follow it up with Vinegar. Someone made a volcano for a science fair project when I was in grade school by doing the same thing... the volcano was a jar covered in paper mache to make it look like a volcano, with an upside dunnel for the top, again decorated to make it volcanic looking, and removeable so as to be able to poor baking soda in, and then a side hose was used with a funnel to poor in vinegar to get the volcanic effects. -- Jim Carlock Post replies to the newsgroup. |
The Onion (www.theonion.com) once ran a related story about Bill Nye the
Science Guy (tv personality) being killed or injured in a vinegar/baking soda accident. :-) "Jim Carlock" wrote in message . ..
