2 tablespoons of plain Epsom salts in a gallon of water. Water tomato plants with it 1x per month.
Supposedly makes tomatoes sweeter.
Baking soda, epsom salt and add red wine to taste. Brush on steak and marinade overnight.
You said no politics but you didn’t say no humor. :)
Epson Salts and warm water in a large flat pan good for soaking tired feet
I put bbq briquettes in women’s nylons, then hang them in my gun safes to dehumidify them, keep the moisture down.
Clean tarnished silver with baking soda:
Line a sink or plastic tub with aluminum foil, shiny side up. Place silver pieces on foil. Sprinkle generously with baking soda. Bring a pot of water to a boil, pour over silver (baking soda will foam)and wait a few minutes. Remove silver with tongs.
Naturally you cannot use that on silver jewelry with set stones. Plain silveritems only.
Do you scrub or just soak?

I have heard that Cucumber Peels keep bees and ants away.
I haven’t experimented with it yet.
I can offer two suggestions for outdoor use on wasps and flowers. We had a growing problem with wasps that had setteled into a space under the roof overhang on the deck and commercial spray was effective for maybe a day and cost way too much for continuous spraying. A neighbor told us about the use of filling your sprayer with a heavy solution of water and detergent and spraying it as needed. Husband started in the middle of summer last year and narrowed them down but not out. This year they are gone. He sprayed them every time they came out but kept at it and for the first time in several years we are wasp free. The other thing is coffee grounds. I had read recently about using them in a variety of ways but was most interested in outdoor plants. I started putting the grounds in a large coffee container and when it was full I scooped them on to the petunias and other flowering areas, as well as rose bushes and hydrangeas and they are all, except the roses, the most beautiful blooms we have ever had. I continue to save the grounds and use them routinely. We try anything that seems to have potential and always open to new ideas.

Or, mix equal parts ATF, kerosene, acetone, and lanolin to make Ed’s red gun cleaning solvent. Haven’t used it lately, don’t know how toxic it is, but I still have a few gallons of it around here somewhere. I put it in old plastic laundry detergent jugs. Should probably check on it.
I soak in Epson salts to relieve aches and pains I sometimes get from playing golf. Works great.
Bump for later
Good blended scotch, chivas vat69, splash of water, juice of half a lemon, cinnamon stick, and raw local honey, heated up. You probably know that one, but it works better than any cough syrup.
I was told that a Bounce dryer sheet in your pocket will keep mosquitoes away. Haven’t tried it yet.
Coffee oil residue builds up after making coffee a few times in a peculator ... how to clean coffee maker with baking soda:
Wash pot as normal then add water to normal fill line.
Instead of adding coffee add 2 tablespoons of baking soda to the basket and run.
When the soda and water are through percolating, unplug and let sit until the next time you make coffee. Next day wipe out with paper towel and rinse - - you’ll be amazed how much coffee residue comes off.
