12-inch Natural Maple Salad Bowl and Server Set

Individually crafted in Vermont, these natural hardwood bowls inherit the natural markings of the parent tree's grain pattern, each a unique display of beauty. Every bowl starts from a solid block of maple wood and cut by a series of saws and lathes to create the correct size and shape. Each undergoes a drying process for several weeks to prevent cracking and warping. Upon completion, the bowls are sanded, inspected for quality, and finished with a mineral oil rub. There is no waste in the creation - all remaining wood elements are recycled into firewood and animal bedding. This maple bowl includes a set of matching 11-inch salad utensils, also created in Vermont from hardwood maple. Perfectly functional and ready to serve!

Gardening Pest Control Tips For Danville

There are many out of the box insect controls for Danville Pa. This article tells of some of the best low cost and environmentally friendly ways of controlling pest insects.
Put up a bat box. A single bat can eat 1000 or more mosquitoes in a single night.
Put up bird boxes. Baby birds need to be feed insects. They can't digest grain. Thus an increase in birds will mean a decrease in the insect population.
Create a habitat for lizards. Bring them home if you see one and release it near a rock wall.
When on a walk in the fall, if you see a praying mantis nest, bring it home and place in on one of your shrubs. It is a great beneficial insect.
Bring home frogs and toads if your landscape has a suitable place for these critters. They can eat countless bugs in a day.
Catch a skunk that is a a friends home in a have a heart trap. Place a blanket over the trap and slowly bring home the skunk in the back of your truck and release it near your property. These smelling old timers love grubs and cutworms.
Don't kill your snakes. These slithering reptiles eat mice, bugs, and beetles. Yes, the gardeners worst pest. Do you hate Japanese Beetles? Give them away. Always remember to give away your beetles. Never place a beetle trap on your own property unless all residents of your area are attempting to control beetles. The reason is that you will most likely attract more beetles to your landscape than you destroy. If you are trap minded the best idea is to give them away.

Yes, It is better to give than to receive. This old motto is even good for Japanese beetles.

Japanese Beetles can be controlled with traps that lore the beetle with food and sex attractants. These are generally a bag trap that one hangs 4-5 feet off the ground. It is never a good idea to place them near your plants that they will eat. So I simply suggest give them to your neighbor at Christmas!!! If you want, hang the trap on open space area trees near your property. Thus the beetles will be detected away from your property.
What we do on the farm is we hang the trap on branches of a tree that overhangs our pond and open up the bottom. The little critters fall into the pound and our fish clean them up. What a way to recycle and not have to empty the traps.
Some of the effected popular flowers and trees favored by the beetles are:
annual asters
astilbe
canna
cosmos
daylilly
delphinium
hollyhoch
iris
marigold
peony
roses
zinnia
Linden trees
purple plums
