About Me:

I enjoy Southern style living with a twist of elegance, love gardening. Someday soon I want to get into land/hardscaping and designing my home; Contemporary, Asian/ Zen with a back yard oasis. I feel that ideas and suggestions from professionals and experienced individuals such as you would be benifical in my conquest for the future. Am glad I found you.

Favorite area of home improvement:

Love all aspect of of home improvement. Land/Hardscaping and gardening are my passions now, I also enjoy design. I want to continue to explore, to be more self efficant.

Man Kills 40,000 sq ft Lawn

Here's a link to a CNN story about a guy that accidentally killed his 40,000 sq ft lawn with a product he thought was just for weed control. (sorry about the ad at the beginning) ...»

I'm also posting the label on the product.

Do you think the label was sufficient to tell him what he needed to know?

Choosing a Ripe Melon

It's terribly disappointing to cut into a watermelon and find that it is still mostly pink inside and has little sweetness to the meat. But what do you look for when choosing one at the ...»
grocery? How can you pick the ripest one?

There are two reliable methods:

Yellow Belly

Examine the underside of a melon. Ripe ones will have a cream or yellow belly, unripe ones will be white or green.

Slap Test

Ripe melons will sound hollow when you slap them. But what does "hollow" sound like?

Practice on your body. Give your forehead a couple of light slaps. Repeat on your chest. Repeat on your stomach. Notice how the sound changes for each one. The sound your stomach makes when slapped is the "ripe" sound you're looking for.

It's best to compare three watermelons side by side. You'll easily be able to pick the one that sounds most hollow when slapped.
