The Canadian Statesman, Bowmanville, Wednesday, April 13,1994 17 Recycling Hints Can Help Your Garden Grow Gardeners are generally ecologically oriented people who believe in recycling and minimum environmental impact. Here are some suggestions as to how you can improve your garden, recycle common household items and control several pests without using agricultural chemicals. Milk jugs and large soda bottles constitute bulky waste in landfills. Cut the bottom 1/2 to 1 inch off of them, remove their tops and use them for hot caps in the garden. They'll protect plants from cool night temperatures, cold winds and even cutworms. Don't throw the bottoms of these milk jugs or soda bottles away. Turn them upside down and place them under growing pumpkins, winter squash, cantaloupe or watermelon. Fewer of these fruits will rot if they're held off of the wet ground. Do you have trouble with milk jug hot caps blowing away? Make a long "hairpin" from a length of old wire and pin them to the ground. Better yet, use 6-inch pieces of thin wall sewer pipe in place of milk jugs. Sewer pipe is heavy enough not to blow away. Paint it black and it'll warm the air around the plants even more. String the pipe sections on a piece of twine when they're no longer needed and save them for next year. Everyone knows cucumber, cantaloupe, squash and watermelon transplants grow poorly if their roots are disturbed at transplanting. What's needed is a large, economical container in which to grow these plants. The container must hold germinating media yet allow plant roots to grow through. Pint berry baskets are perfect. Use a single layer of newspaper to hold growing media in if necessary. Plant the entire container, media and small plant and there will be no transplanting shock. The small plants will grow much more vigorously than if started in the usual tiny pots. Nearly everyone has a 35 mm camera and purchases film for it. What do you do with the containers the film comes in? These small containers hold up for many years and have lids that fit so tightly they are nearly airtight They're perfect to store seed in. They can be used both for leftover seed and for seed collected from your garden. Simply place a strip of masking tape on each container and label it with the kind of seed, variety and the year it was collected. Place the seed containers in a small box and store the box in a refrigerator. Seed will remain viable for several years if stored where it's cool and dry. Do you have trouble with the fruit flies on tomatoes, peaches, apples or other produce which remains in the house for several days before processing? Trap them. Simply begin with a quart jar. Drop a bit of peach, cantaloupe or even banana peel in the jar. Roll a sheet of paper into a funnel shape and use a piece of tape to keep it from unrolling. Insert the funnel partially into the jar. The paper funnel must fit tightly against the rim of the jar and should have a narrow end no more than 1/2 inch in diameter. Fruit flies will be attracted to the fruit in the jar and will be unable to find their way back out. It's possible to collect several dozen fruit flies in a single trap overnight. Look around your house and you'll find numerous other items useful in the garden. Real Estate Deadlines and Policies Deadline for Wednesday Publication is Monday at 12:00 Noon.

Crop drying, milk refrigeration, water pumping, healing and ventilation are some of the operations that rely on electricity. Even though the electric utility industry's service reliability record is more than 99 percent, power outages occur--because of wind, snow, ice, tornados and other unavoidable events. When a power failure occurs, a properly sized and well-maintained standby generator reduces inconveniences and maintains productions. It can pay for itself through avoided loss of production from just a few short periods of power loss. Remember that emergency generators are not designed to power all electrical equipment at one time. However, they "should be large enough to allow all life- sustaining and product-quality equipment to operate as needed. The number and size of electric motors that must be started is important. Because a motor's starting current is three to five times greater than its running current, the generator must be sized to handle the starting current of the largest motor, plus all other electrical loads that will be operated at the same time. <s> cornerstone realty ltd., realtor 104 king st. e., bowmanville 623-6000 428-1206 (Toronto Line) experience ** Associate Brokers * Sales Representatives Ron Moore* Sales Rep. 623-6000 24 hr. 623-9263 (res.)
