Can I water outdoor flowers with used bath water?

My area is under water restrictions. I have petunias and impatiens in my yard. Would it be ok to use the water from my baby%26#039;s bath on them? It has a little Johnson%26#039;s baby shampoo in it. I am trying to be creative in order to save my gardening from dehydration and certain death!

Can I water outdoor flowers with used bath water?
Definitely. If you use biodegradeable laundry detergent, you can use your washing machine water too. Just keep an eye on the ph (you can get a kit from nursery and hardware stores cheap) and test the soils every now and then. If the flowers start to look a little sick check it too. If it is too alkaline, just use some manure. If it is too alkaline, just add some garden lime. Sometimes, having soaps and detergents in the water help to keep moisture in the soil as well. Definitely don%26#039;t use kitchen water though, as the oils will ruin your soil.
Reply:Yes. However, sorry to disagree with you Don, but bath and laundry water is probably not best on your vegetables. The salts (alkaline) from the soaps and detergents can actually turn your soil against the acidity that vegies crave.





But on most of your flowering plants you shouldn%26#039;t need to worry.
Reply:I used to do that before we got rain barrells. You can also put five gallon buckets in there when you take a shower. You%26#039;d be amazed how quickly they fill up!
Reply:Sure you can. You can even water your vegetables with it. The soap may help with insect control.
Reply:Good luck...both petunias and impatiens like plenty of water. If this is a frequent problem, try planting more %26quot;drought tolerant%26quot; flowers. However, to answer your question, go ahead and use the bath water. Also, water from the washing machine if not too soapy. Try putting the bath tub plug in while you%26#039;re taking a shower so you can re-use that water too.
Reply:It depends on where you are, but for the most part gray water (what flows through your drains) is illegal to use on landscapes. This isn%26#039;t to say that people don%26#039;t do it, I have a professor that does, but he has a special system he installed to ensure it works correctly and prevents sewage water from backing through into the system. You can use your baby%26#039;s bath water, as long as the detergents you use for the shampoo/soap/bubbles is biodegradable and contains no added chemicals. So, the stuff you would buy at a co-op (read the label).





Also, you may want to consider other alternative strategies to deal with the water restriction. Such strategies as providing shade, using drip irrigation, and irrigation strategies (such as performing efficiency tests on your watering practices whether by underground or hand to ensure you don%26#039;t overwater.





If I didn%26#039;t quite answer your question or you want to know more, let me know, this is off the top of my head, but if I dig into my resources, I could probably find you a better explanation. Good luck!
Reply:yes, just make sure it%26#039;s room temperature and its clean water.
Reply:I think that%26#039;s a great idea! The soap won%26#039;t hurt anything. Sometimes I use a little soapy water to get rid of bugs. (Just don%26#039;t throw out the baby with the bath water!:)

Natural art baby photographer?

Does anyone know the name of this woman photographer who takes photos of babies painted and dressed like natural things? For example, one of her more famous pictures is of a few babies (sleeping) dressed in little green outfits in a big pea pod. She%26#039;ll also dress them up as flower petals, ladybugs, etc. She has a lot of photography books published, but I can%26#039;t remember her name or what the books are called.

I had a baby in June this year and i want to get a lower back tattoo with his name in it some where?
WOW -- so many close-minded answers already!





First off, if you want a %26quot;lower back tattoo%26quot; in honor of your child, that is your business. Do not listen to people that consider it a %26quot;tramp stamp%26quot; - pure ignorance.





Do you have an artist in mind that could help you? Are you considering having more children? If so, you might want a design that you could add additional names to.





I am meeting with my artist next Wednesday. I will ask him about some suggestions for you and let you know ASAP.





Feel free to email me as well: veralynncarroll@yahoo.com

Reply:Get the tattoo wherever you want. I have a tattoo on my lower back and love it.. I%26#039;m also not a tramp...


People that call them tramp stamps are generally people who are just jealous they don%26#039;t have a good enough body to let that area show.
Reply:i know everyone says this but please don%26#039;t get it on your lower back (tramp stamp and its true). get it maybe on the nape of your neck or the sole of your foot would be interesting. maybe get the flower or just the name behind your ear. get it in a place where you keep clean or else it%26#039;ll get infected. be sure to make it a little discreet or people will question or assume it was an ex boyfriend and even though its not a tramp stamp, it%26#039;ll imply it.
Reply:Wow, yahoo really is full of closed minded morons, why bother answering if you have nothing but criticism? Get a life.





On to your question. Go to a tattoo artists, one you%26#039;ve researched well, and know they do good work, then give them your idea. Any good tattoo artist will be able to draw something up based on what you want, it%26#039;s part of their job.
Reply:Dont torture the poor baby!
Reply:my moms friend laurie has an adorable tat for her kids and grandkids. her name is in a sun and below is a little devil for each of her kids and a little angel for each of her grandkids. If you plan on having more kids maybe have a flower for each child with their name in the petals. maybe have some sort of vine with the flowers growing from it. it will be pretty and dainty, have a meaning, and you would have no problem keeping the flow going if you have more children.
Reply:did you know if you get a tattoo you might get cancer.
Reply:your momma has tattoo of u on her ***.... thats how kids will tease at your son when grows up..

Urine good for flowers?

Ok I know this is a strange question. My local flower grower suggested putting diapers in the bottom of my pots to hold moisture during the hot summer months. My father-in-law suggested that since I have small babies - urine soaked diapers would work better. He said urea is good for plants. Anyone heard of this???

Urine good for flowers?
I can tell you if you consistantly pee on a plant it will die.





All of the plants and grass that my dogs pee on consistantly....are dead.





The acid in the urine is too strong for repeated exposure.
Reply:I have heard that there are little crystals in diapers that absorb water and some gardeners open a CLEAN diaper and mix the crystals in the soil.





I line outdoor containers with landscape fabric and mix in the horitcultural water retaining crystals (from garden centre) with the soil.





Re: urine, check out the lawns where dogs urinate. It turns yellow. I don%26#039;t recommend it.
Reply:urea is. urine is not. Urine has urea in it, but there is more in it than just urea.





The diapers contain a polymer that absorbs moisture. It can be wicked out as the soil above it as it dries.





just cut a little patch out to cover the bottom of the pot. put your soil on top of it.





.. and stop listening to your father-in-law.
Reply:I havent heard of that, but i piss in my bushes all the time when i%26#039;m out drinking beer and they%26#039;re doing fine. Wow. Imagine what a crap-diaper buried under a plant would do.
Reply:Urea is good for plants, but not in high concentrations. You can pee in your garden but I wouldn%26#039;t suggest placing urine in a flowerpot cause it might burn the roots, and also it will smell up th house.
Reply:No way, urine is too acidic, the ph balance would be bad-especially for flowers. Human waste and dog and cat waste is bad for plants. Only cow manure is good fertilizer and that still needs to be mixed with soil. I have heard that plants thrive on beer, though.
Reply:Not urine just clean diapers, Gheesh ! your father-in-law sounds weird ! Because men pee outside while they are working !
Reply:This I have never heard of, but it sounds plausable.
Reply:no the stuff we humans eat and drink will kill the plants.
Reply:i think the diapers are more to keep moisture in the soil.small amounts of urine has a lot of nitrogen.
Reply:I had never heard of this eather! hope it helps!





Fertilizers


Urine has applications in gardening and agriculture as a fertilizer. Gardeners often recommend a dilution of 10-15 parts water to one of urine for application to pot plants and flower beds during the growing season; pure urine can chemically burn the roots of some species. Urine typically contains more than 50% of the nitrogen and phosphorus and potassium content of whole sewage, and is widely considered as good as or better than commercially-available chemical fertilisers or stabilised sludge from sewage plants. Urine is also used in composting to increase the nitrogen content of the mulch, accelerating the composting process and increasing its final nutrient values.





Urine is also being actively considered as a fertilizer for use in food-crop agriculture in developed countries. Studies into its feasibility and safety usually indicate that it is an acceptable alternative to chemical fertilisers and stabilised sludge. However, the technology to implement its use on a large scale has not been developed, and is considered too expensive. There are also concerns over its safety regarding the potential for transmitting infectious disease and refluxing xenobiotic compounds (associated with toilet-cleaning products and prescribed drugs expelled in urine) in the human food chain. Proponents of adopting urine for this use usually claim the risks to be negligible or acceptable, and point out that sewage causes more environmental problems when it is treated and disposed of compared with when it is used as a resource. Critics generally agree that more research is needed into how the resource is to be collected, processed and handled.





A few people use urine as a crop fertilizer. These include organic farming cooperatives and eco-villages where special urine-diverting toilets with collecting tanks are installed. Many of these also employ concepts such as greywater irrigation and the composting of fecal matter. Many are the subject on ongoing feasibility studies sanctioned by governments and private organisations. These people generally reject safety concerns over its use on food crops provided that it is used with common sense. For example, application to fruit trees is considered safer than to bushes and especially root crops. It is also considered sensible to cease application at a safe interval before harvesting. However, the use of urine for this purpose is even rarer than its use on ornamental gardens.





In developing countries, the application of pure urine to crops is also rare. However, whole, untreated sewage, termed night soil, is often applied to crops and is considered essential. It is worth noting that this practice is not new and has been applied, along with crop rotation schemes, for thousands of years.





In Japan, urine used to be sold to farmers who would process it into fertilizers.
Reply:Yes, there are well-known gardeners who profess to having a mix of urine and baby shampoo and several other things to help your lawns and trees. I don%26#039;t know if it is to be used on flowering plants. But, you don%26#039;t want to pee directly on the plants. Below is a recipe by Jerry Baker.





Thanksgiving is only a few days away, and we’re in the midst of preparations. But no matter how busy I get with holiday plans, I always make sure to get a little “outdoor chore” time in. Last weekend was time for the final installment of my fall lawn feeding program. I mixed 1/2 can of beer, 1/2 cup of apple juice, 1/2 cup of Gatorade®, 1/2 cup of urine, 1/2 cup of fish emulsion, 1/2 cup of ammonia, 1/2 cup of regular cola, and 1/2 cup of baby shampoo in a large bucket, poured it into a 20 gallon hose-end sprayer, and gave my lawn a good, healthy dose.
Reply:Urine does contain urea, which can help, but it also contains uric acid which can burn your plants. That is why where a dog pees it will burn the grass. After the pee dilutes down, then you notice the grass growing like crazy there and being really dark green, that is due to the nitrogen in urea.





It%26#039;s kind of like fertilizer. Put too much of it on and you burn the grass or plant. But if it is diluted down or given in the right amount...it helps. Urine could help...but it needs diluted down so it doesn%26#039;t burn the plants.





So if your dog ever pees on your yard...water that spot and dilute it down so the urine doesn%26#039;t burn your grass.

Would you use this service to win brownie points in your relationship?

I am looking at starting a service for busy men or woman that dont have the time to plan a special night out for a birthday or aniversary, Or maybe a special unigue gift. I would plan it all for you, book restaurants, taxi%26#039;s, flowers, baby sitters, everything and anything. All the client needs to worry about is enjoying their special night with their partner. I know my husband struggles with trying to think of something different and special every year and he said he loves the idea....what do you think.You may have some romantic ideas I can add ...any other ideas would be great

Would you use this service to win brownie points in your relationship?
I think that sounds great. I would say to have options for every budget. I know here in San Diego you can do things like dinner cruises for pretty cheap, so things like that, if available, and then move right up to things like hot air balloon rides, wine tasting tours, plays, operas, sporting events, everything for every kind of interest! Good idea, and good luck!

You%26#039;ll have to help them. Take the wash cloth, a cheap rough one, and get it damp with warm water. (The mama cat would use her rough tongue to clean them and stimulate them that way so you have to simulate that.) Then, going from head to tail, rub firmly but gently down their spines. DO NOT GO BACKWARDS. Keep doing this until they go. Now, the indicator that I always used was bloating. When the kittens start to look full or a little bloated, I would use the wash cloth. If you have a regular vet, give them a call tomorrow and ask if they have a kitten care sheet/documentation for orphans. They may have something on file or may just give you some pointers over the phone.
Reply:ok, i volunteered at a pet shop for about 4 years...i was a %26quot;mom%26quot; many times tho many abandoned kittens at one time! they will definitely need much of your attention. they need to be fed every 2 hours ...after every feeding you will need to have them go potty. get a rag and rub them in there peepee are...ther mother would lick them stimulating them to go....you can go to a pet store and buy canned powdered milk and mix it with milk and warm it.....keep them wrapped in a heating pad...put an alarm clock close by..they will think it%26#039;s ther mother%26#039;s heart beat...to make them even stronger..you can go to the store and buy baby food..(gerber) the chicken kind and siringe feed them...the milk wou will do as well....2 tubes are usually the right amount..if they want more...go right ahead! lol :) please keep me updated...
Reply:mom is missing... where is she? is she your cat or a stray??





they need KMR





Kitten Milk Replacement - its expensive and you can get it at a vet, livestock feed store or pet store (livestock feed store will be best price)





this is what they NEED.. - and a vet.. if mom is still missing - they should be surrendered to a vet.. they will require constant care





also you will probably need to wipe their bums with warm wet cloth or cotton ball to make them pee and poop..

I haven%26#039;t ever seen knitted ones, but these crochet ones look nice and easy, and would be a beautiful way to match the color to the cardigan:

I also found this great easy knit flower. I have the intention of making single flowers for pins, but they should work on top of a button:
