Teresa, The same thing was happening with my wicks too, wet at the bottom, and dry in the pot. A friend switched all her wicks over to strips of panty...
Hi and welcome to you, Chris. I just lost a friend there in Aiken this past week, a high school friend. I used to love to visit when an aunt lived there...
Thanks for your nice comments, Kristina. Crosstitch is beautiful, too, but harder for me to see where I'm at on a project. I got that project from a...

Thank you, I have all kinds I guess. I have mini, semi mini, trailers of all sizes, and standards and large standards. I suppose they mature at differant...
I am not 100% sure of my answers here. Smaller ones about a year and larger 18 months. Have no idea on trailers. Anyone have a better answer?  Kristina...

I use a Fogg-It Pot Water wand. Do a Google search and you'll come up with a bunch of places on the internet that sells them. It runs about $18 to $20. Vicki...

I just recently purchased a water PH Tester Pen. What a surprise to find my water right out of the tap is reading 8.4. Reads the same several days later. No...
Thanks for all the helpful suggestions. At least now I know where to look for alternative trigger valves and systems. I'm not quite as panicked about the...
Vinegar is safe to use, but it does have one minor "side effect", and you would have this with pretty much anything you add to your water to lower pH. It will...
