Leaving it in will build boron up in your soil, which the plants won't like.Rhonda Jeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00175785349529109084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-22835482767581810102007-12-28T22:50:00.000+10:002007-12-28T22:50:00.000+10:00Hi Rhonda, I've read your blog for a while and I l...Hi Rhonda, I've read your blog for a while and I love it. Its very thought provoking and inpsiring.<BR/>I was wondering if you can use the greywater if you use the home made laundry powder recipe you have posted? I usually buy the planet ark (or something similar) but at $7 odd dollars for 1.5 kilos it gets a bit expensive!<BR/>Cheers<BR/>amberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-53357808730373775612007-12-22T04:13:00.000+10:002007-12-22T04:13:00.000+10:00Hello Rachel, I'm so sorry to hear of your skin ca...Hello Rachel, I'm so sorry to hear of your skin cancer.

I have been trying to hand make gifts this year. The Christmas soaps I made didn't set. I have some plain square soap I made a few months ago, but have just discovered that after using them I have come out in a terrible itchy rash - lucky I didn't give them to anyone! Anyway, the children and I are now making calico frog wheat bags. We are using fabric markers to decorate - they are fabulous. Hopefully they will be well received. Thanks for being such an inspiration.<BR/><BR/>Elizabethbaringaparkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11798966999545047318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-72565056526385558642007-12-18T08:03:00.000+10:002007-12-18T08:03:00.000+10:00Ican't wait to see the apron photo's.

I have been listening to your advice about hand made presents and my first attempt was a resounding success! My Dad's birthday was on Sunday and most of his present was homemade. He was thrilled, as always I have blogged about what else we did for him. <BR/>I am one of the tardy ones in regards to apron photos but I have taken a pic and emailed it to you this morning :)<BR/>take care<BR/>Lis<BR/>xxLishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00066863074405512584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5089828552519076506.post-16838746596715722352007-12-18T05:46:00.000+10:002007-12-18T05:46:00.000+10:00Rhonda, I thought I would just let you know that I...Rhonda, <BR/>I thought I would just let you know that I gave a homemade gift yesterday to a dear friend that I see every Monday. Every Monday she makes a lovely tea and has cooked up a storm but lives a very simple life and has passed her ideals onto her four kids.<BR/><BR/>I gave her a knitted cushion that I had knitted during various playgroups etc with my toddler. I also gave her a Xmas cookie cutter as a decoration. The cutter was store bought gut I thought it was a useful thing and she would appreciate it. Well she loved both gifts and I really basked in the warmth that she loved the girfts despite being "homemade" and frugal. I think I got more joy from this than the $40 odd I spent on my sister. <BR/><BR/>I had hoped to make moe things this year but unfortunately with Peters leg, 4 kids and the news I had skin cancer put a stop to most things.<BR/><BR/>Have a wonderful Christmas, sounds lovely. We are having a very basic Christmas but will be wonderful as my German MIL will be here to give me a hand.<BR/><BR/>RachelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
