Outdoor Living: KOI ~~ SNATCHED BY BIRDS or STOLEN ????

Does anyone know if it is at all possible that a Blue Heron or an Egret would be able to take "5" Koi at one time? Then come back the next day and take 4 more; the next day he/she/they ...»
took the remaining "3". Yes, after the first hit we tried to protect the pond even more than it already is. The pond is relatively well-covered with tree branches. I'm thinkin' the one of the roofers next door came and helped himself to our fish thinking that they were worth $$$. Any thoughts out there? They were so precious to us ~~ some being over 20-years old.

    i went to buy more fish yesterday and spoke with the man who owns a nursery by me and he said ...»
    instead of covering your pond, put a 6imch piece of black drainage tube in the bottom of your pond as an escape for the fish to hide. This way no animal can get not it, the raccoons cannot reach into it from end to end and the Heron cannot get to the fish. I am doing this as soon as I clean my pond. Also cut slits into the tubing for better water flow

  • Last summer my husband and I planted our first garden, a compact container garden between our driveway and house. 1
  • You can imagine how upset we were when something started eating our produce before we had a chance to.
  • My mother said it might be slugs and to get rid of them by getting them drunk.  All you do is to fill small plastic containers with beer.  Don't worry.  The slugs will drink any kind.
  • Right before dark, dig small holes and position the containers so that they are even with the soil.  Then fill them with beer.  The slugs are attracted to the sweetness of it.  They will crawl in to have a drink, and then they drown.
  • I got over 50 slugs in each container, and I only needed to do this two nights.  Then they were completely gone.  I knew that if other slugs appeared, I could repeat the process. 2

Did the Slugs/Snails Enjoy Eating Up Your Garden Last Summer?

Here's a simple and environmentally friendly way to get rid of them, and you probably have it in your frig right now. It's simple - beer. You have to use it in a special way. See how here: http://the2seasons.com/2012/06/05/lets-get-d...

Do you think this original Frank Lloyd Wright home should be demolished to build a new spec home?

In late May, the Frank Lloyd Wright Conservancy learned of a pending and potentially disastrous change in ownership for the David and Gladys Wright House in Phoenix, Arizona. Since then, ...»
working in the public arena and with national and local preservation groups as well as laboring behind the scenes, the Conservancy jumped into action to save the building and its site. Despite initial public statements by the new owners that they would not demolish the house, the developers have recently indicated that "it's not a given that the house can be preserved." With possibly less than sixty days remaining to secure the building's future the Conservancy is searching for a new owner and simultaneously working for local historic designation status.

    but I think I would have finished it off with a sleek black metal topped glass handrail on the left side.

New White Kitchen (Before and After)

After having red-painted kitchen cabinets for several years (and having my kitchen featured in a National Magazine) I decided I needed a lighter and brighter change. ...»

Red cabs and buttercream yellow walls were changed to white cabinets and khaki walls. I love my "new" kitchen and this is a testament to the power of paint. Go Paint! :0
