I have cleared weeds and dug in some mature manure.
I have just prepared my first vegetable plot, but it is now winter. Is there anything that I can plant in it.?
need to know where you live, winter in Australia is warmer than winter in Switzerland,
Reply:Just leave it for the frost to do it's work. Your soil structure will be far better in early spring.
You can plant rhubarb in December and sow a few lettuce under cloches but realistically March is the month t all happens.Well here in the UK anyway
best of luck
Reply:early winter is the best time to plant garlic..plant now for a larger crop next summer...this makes a huge difference to the size of the bulbs.
rhubarb can be planted now, but make sure that it is dormant.
Kale should do well, if you can find some small plants for transplanting.
try sowing some perpetual spinach, it never fails to amaze me how it can survive cold spells ,if it doesnt grow now,it xertinly will as soon as it is warm enough.
parsley likes to germinate in the wet, and can take a while to start growing(try a small area)
good luck..
Reply:it depends on how cold it gets where ur at...does the ground freeze??? their are winter squash and pumpkins...
Reply:Where do you live? I live in Fl. so, my planting season is extensive. Some of the cooler weather crops include squashes, pumpkins, spinach,and collards. Also lettuce and cabbage.

How do you treat a blister on your hand?
i got this blister when i was clearing weeds with my weed cutter. any at home remedies or treatments for this blister
How do you treat a blister on your hand?
the main thing you want to do is ice it, when you are done with that, it would be smart to wrap it with a bandage. Whatever you do, dont pop it, because that leads to infections and so on. Neosporin is a good way to disinfect the wound.
Reply:You could try icing it, first. Then, in order to avoid irritation, I'd suggest you place a band-aid over it; changing the band-aid at least 3 times each day.
Reply:Do not bust it. The longer it stays the less likely you are to have an infection or scar. Cover with a bandage or Mole Skin which is available at any drug store.
Reply:Well If ya haven't broken it put it on ice.
If ya have Clean It out so it dont get infected and then cover it with a band aid and ice it for a lil bit i recomend using neosporean to clean it.
Reply:yes id like to know that ive been sanding wood for 2 bloody hours trying to get it to bare wood when i only needed to do it, if id had known that it would have only taken me 5 minuts arghh

I smoked weed a few days ago and my mom wants me to get a job?
im supposed tobe looking for jobs but i smoked weed a few days ago... do jobs like tanning, or jets pizza, and ice cream places do drug tests? and if so do you think if i drink cranberry juice and stuff like that i could be clear soon enough?
I smoked weed a few days ago and my mom wants me to get a job?
Many small/family owned businesses don't do drug tests due to the costs which they pay for.
Plus as someone else said - I've heard (but not certain) the chemicals will mostly be out of your system in a few weeks. So just stall the best you can :)
And you can try those fancy methods to flush your system - but I'd start with drinking lots of water and not doing any more bad stuff missy!
Good luck

Reply:you smoked weed, and yet who paid for it if you dont have a job? if your going to keep this bad habit, mom is right, get a job and suport your own bad habit. where do you see your self in ten years, is mom still telling you to get a job?
Reply:not a good idea to use illegal drugs
Reply:Most minium wage jobs don't drug test. On the application you will mark a box saying you are willing to be tested it a dead give away you will be tested. Drink alot alot of water it will help flush it out. Most places will also be piss test the easiest to pass.
Reply:my girlfriends name is brooke so this freaks me out. don't smoke pot please cuz drugs are bad mkay

I'm growing MOSS in my lawn - lots of it! What can I add to the soil to clear up the problem?
There is a large oak in the front of the house and it pelts the ground with twigs, leaves, and you name it - this tree sheds it - acorns, bark, and the whole doughnut. I'm in the South - Little Rock - and the soil is not the usual Illinois black dirt that I grew up with... this stuff gets as hard as dry clay tho it looks like a light brown loam to me and it certainly grows bushes and trees and WEEDS very well. The moss is green (or yellow-green according to the moisture in the ground) and I'd call it a club moss if I was forced to give it a specific name. I've tried more water... less water... light tilling and replanting with seed... chemical ferterlizers... I'm about out of ideas. Help.. help.. help. Please.
I'm growing MOSS in my lawn - lots of it! What can I add to the soil to clear up the problem?
First, you can't quit watering your oak. It needs a lot of water.
The oak's shallow roots soak up water and nutrients and keep out good grass and allows nothing to grow but moss, weeds, poison ivy, etc.
I have a ton of oaks and plant flower beds around them. The drip line is beyond the beds for the most part and the dirt, manure and sand I have added create a rich, moist environment for both the oak and the plants. Try variegated ginger, ivy, monkey or mondo grass for the border, iron plants for deep shade, caladiums, ferns, asian jasmine and whatever else you like.
But, if you do not add a bed, expect hard, mossy soil underneath the oak and more weeds.
Reply:I haven't had trouble with rot of the trunk. Underneath is very wet anyway because the sap is there. Peat is great! Thanks for your vote! Report It
Reply:The easiest and most natural solution would be to leave the moss alone and learn to enjoy it. It's actually very soft and quite pretty. Plus, you don't have to mow it! If you really want to kill the moss, you can sprinkle lime (calcium carbonate) on it. That will do it in in a fairly short amount of time. Then, however, you'll be left with horrible bare spots that will require a lot of effort to deal with (and continue to deal with, ad infinitum). Good luck!
Reply:I grew up with this sort of problem too. Let me tell you my family secret. You might thing this is a Little crazy but i am not kidding this is guaranteed to work. It softens up the dirt and at the same time enriching the soil with minerals and also gets rid of the problem . You just have to trust me.
Ingredients:
1. 2 1/2 cup lemon juice (dog urine works just fine too)
2.cup of brown sugar
3. 1/3 cup of salt
4. cup of fertilizer
5. 5oz of fine ground up chalk
6. 1/2 cup of sweet pickling juice
7. 6 gallons of water
instructions:
Take a plastic trash can and dump ingredient 1-7 inside. Stir well until ingredients completely dissolved into water. Apply in two separate coats 30 minutes apart over moss. You will begin to see results within days. Good luck.
Reply:Actually its what you can take out that will solve your problem. Moss grows where there is an abundance of water. So wrap up you slip and slide and save it for next summer.
Make sure when it rains that you don't have pooling of water if you do, you might want to think about drainage pipes.

Reply:When they test you, they can tell that you've been trying to clean out your system because your pee will be so diluted. They'll probably tell you they want to test you again.

Reply:Nothing but time is truly reliable. Any product someone sells you is a waste of money.
In the meantime, drinking too much can cause water intoxication which will eventually produce severe electrolyte imbalances and stop your heart; then a job application won't be much of an issue.
Reply:it depends on how often you smoke. if you only smoke like once a month, it should be undetectable after a few days to a week. if you are a frequent smoker, it will definitely take longer. especially if they drug test with hair samples. try to avoid that. it stays there for a long *** time!

How long would it take majriuana to clear out of my system, i smoked with my friends a small blunt?
Well,
I don't smoke, and the last time i smoked was six months ago. however, last week i was with my friends and they had 0.5 gram of weed, they rolled it and we all smoked it. I might have to submit to a drug test for a new job in two weeks. I don't know what type of test. is the result going to be positive?

Yikes...you're probably out a job. The typical "half life" of THC is 1-10 days, with positive results being possible still up until 30 days.
Sorry, dude...
Reply:drink lots of water and it should take about 2 weeks
Reply:drug test are so in depth now, not only do they look for drug usage but they also look for drug cover ups. Which means the over the counter junk they sale to help flush it out of the system or cover them up won't work. So many good people make bad choices and soon realize that you have to pay for your mistakes at one point in time.
Pray that you don't have to submit to a drug test, and learn from your mistakes.
Drugs are not cool by no means.
A month might be the required time you need to flush it totally out of your system.
Good luck though

But sorry I think it takes like a month for weed to clear out of your system.
Reply:Everyone thinks that it stays in your system for a month, but that is if you smoke like every single day. It is stored in the fat cells, and it will store up and build up to a detectable amount when you smoke daily. Smoking a small amount one time should clear out within a week if you are drinking alot of fluids. Drink tons of water and cranberry juice, and the day you have to test, get an at home THC testing kit and take it yourself first to make sure it is clean. if not, then you should admit it up front instead of looking like a pot-head! If positive, just tell the boss what happened first...you may still have a chance, but if you dont tell, and fail the test, then you are not getting the job anyway...so if you have to, be honest and tell him that you do not use pot regularly and it was a one time thing before you even got the job offer, and tell him he can test you at random to make sure you are clean in the future. Good luck!

What do people charge for gardening services?
I'm thinking of setting up my own gardening business. What's the going rate for mowing, weeding, clearing, planting, pruning, laying paths and patios, installing sheds, decking, fencing, outdoor lights, ponds etc?
What do people charge for gardening services?
Expect to pay minimum wage, of at least £5-35 per hour
Reply:For everyone who has said anything about the money people charge for laying patios decking and fencing i think they should try the work first and then see what they would charge as its very hard work and alot harder than garden maintenance which is weeding mowing clearing. So your question should be two questions how much does a gardener charge? and how much does a hard landscaper charge as there very different jobs personally id say head down the hard landscaping route bigger scope for making money that way if your competent charge 100 a day at least and work out how many days the job would take etc
Reply:depends whether u want to hav regular clients or not
Reply:I live in the South East and most gardeners charge around £10 per hour - some are more and some are less. However, if you want to do one off jobs you should probably quote separately for those.
Reply:I am a gardener in new england . I charge $20.00 per hour
Reply:In my area, we have two gardening services that I know of...one retired chap who just enjoys it and one youngish lad who is trying to make a living from it.
The retired chap charges about £10 an hour...the young bloke charges about £15 an hour.
Pretty much every one I know goes with the retired chap....not just because of cost, its also because they trust him more. You have to really trust someone to be ready to let them into your garden...its something you might want to think about making a point of if you're planning to do this as a business. Show lots and lots of references.
Good luck with it!
Reply:Wow! Hard to answer!
What are your expenses? Cost to drive out of the driveway; gas, insurance, tool cost, repair cost, dump fees, etc. How much time will you spend doing the books? Paying city/county business fees, advertising, cards, invoices, insurance (lots of luck there)??? Then what is your hourly wage? Agriculture workers are often started sub-minimum wage....it's legal. How long do you plan to remain in business? If you under price yourself to get started, you'd better have capital before you get started. Underfunding a business at start up is a sure fire way to go under in short order.
You will be competing with other schmoos who have dropped their costs to get started and who will soon be out of business but will be replaced by others coming on line. You will have to have excellent references!!! Make those first clients your star clients as they will be the ones who get you future jobs. Make certain you know how to do your job correctly, take courses to improve, never slap a job off. Keep yourself and your equipment in excellent order!! Nobody hires a bum with old, crappy equipment.
Remember, what you take in will not be in your pocket at the end of the day. I can't give you an exact amount, but start at: if you want $10 in your pocket, you'd better be getting $30 minimum and more likely $50

you have to think of all the expenses you will be paying

Reply:I have had my own gardening business for the last 15 years and the answer to your question is as much as you can get. Just like any other tradesman. You will soon know if you are charging too much you will have no customers. The most important thing to remember is that the taxman will want his share and if you are really successful then so will the VAT man. Your rate should be the same no matter what you do whether it's patio laying or painting a fence. I only hope that you have some qualifications or lots of experience with plants before you start your business. If not then look for some night school courses or a friendly garden centre that will help you. Very best of luck.
Reply:It depends on alot - how much experience you have, the amount you need to keep your buisness afloat
why not find an online gardener - with website, and look at rates they are charging - go through yell.com and then a few might show up in your area - or be cheeky and phone and make out you are looking for work to be done at your property and see what they charge you
Reply:Our gardener charges £16 per visit. He clears the (large) lawn of leaves and, at this time of year, beech nuts, mows it and disposes of the cuttings, hoes the flower beds and generally tidies up. I think that's a fair price for what he does, as it always looks great when he's been. We are in the North of England, if that helps.
Reply:As much as they can get
Reply:My gardener does about an hour once every 2 weeks and charges me £20 per visit.
This is for mowing my lawn, tidying the edges and general weeding.

Reply:depending on where you live. where do you live?? Been looking for help on my business. I am a female that started my own service 11 years ago. went from cutting hair to cutting grass,grass don't talk back!!! Love my job but my body doesn't like it as much. So if you need help getting info e-mail me dodgeum43@yahoo.com
Reply:That's going to depend on your particular demographics. Long Island, New York prices will differ dramatically from those in Tamworth, England. Call other local services and ask what they charge.
Reply:Mine charge £20 a hour for general garden stuff.. seperate charge for building things
Reply:I have had my own gardening business for the last 15 years and the answer to your question is as much as you can get. Just like any other tradesman. You will soon know if you are charging too much you will have no customers. The most important thing to remember is that the taxman will want his share and if you are really successful then so will the VAT man. Your rate should be the same no matter what you do whether it's patio laying or painting a fence. I only hope that you have some qualifications or lots of experience with plants before you start your business. If not then look for some night school courses or a friendly garden centre that will help you. Very best of luck.
Reply:It depends on alot - how much experience you have, the amount you need to keep your buisness afloat
why not find an online gardener - with website, and look at rates they are charging - go through yell.com and then a few might show up in your area - or be cheeky and phone and make out you are looking for work to be done at your property and see what they charge you
Reply:Our gardener charges £16 per visit. He clears the (large) lawn of leaves and, at this time of year, beech nuts, mows it and disposes of the cuttings, hoes the flower beds and generally tidies up. I think that's a fair price for what he does, as it always looks great when he's been. We are in the North of England, if that helps.
Reply:As much as they can get
Reply:My gardener does about an hour once every 2 weeks and charges me £20 per visit.
This is for mowing my lawn, tidying the edges and general weeding.
Reply:Don't use a comany that ask for an hourly rate. Agree a price in writing frist for the job and a time sale. draw up a contract and deduct money every day they are late. If they dont like this then walk away from them they're cowboys!!
Reply:we got made redundant 10yrs ago and did it you cannot relie on the mr smiths in the winter ie nov to march so spend this winter writting to firms ie housing associations all their work goes out to tender either 1yr or 3yr now is the perfect time to write as contracts start in march buy the best equipment you can of ford hope you have the use of some land or you are into tipping charges £15to £20 per hour depending on tip charge expect to pay £30 per load any more email me

How much water do it take to clear your system out from smoking .?
If you are trying to pass a test for a Job (drug test) be carefull because if you drink alot of water to clear it out you will get a "Negative" reading "ok to hire" but it will also come up "Dilute" and a company cannot hire you with that status.
Reply:The only thing that will get nicotine and the other crap out of your system is time, and of course not smoking. The bulk of nicotine leaves your system in 3 - 4 days, however trace levels will show up positive on a test for up to 6 months. Drinking water is good for you but will not make a difference to nicotine in your system as it is stored in your fat.

What's the best way to clear up poison sumac from skin??
It's spring and while pulling weeds I've gotten a nasty case of poison sumac. I'm already taking rx prednisone but this seems to be continually be spreading around my hands and fingers.
What's your prescription?
What's the best way to clear up poison sumac from skin??
Best thing is Caladryl lotion directly on the poison sumac (or ivy or oak) and to take Benadryl.
Sumac is, I think, the nastiest of all three skin poisons. Red and itchy for a longer period.
Reply:I feel your pain I got it last summer and the only thing that really helped was a over the counter product by Tec Labs called Tecnu. the stuff works and it is easy to use. it pulls the oils out that cause the rash to spread and stops the itch. I used it twice a day till it cleared up and it helped a great deal. you can also use it to clean your clothes and sheets to get the oils off of them so you don't spread it more. I tell you this Tecnu was a god send. good luck.

How long does weed stay in the blood stream?
here's the thing i just smoked January 13, 2008. And i need to go to a doctor because of a health issue, (i might have a cyst or something)...anywayz my mom told me they do a blood test to find out what it is...can i go to the doctor and him not check to c if i have drugs...or do i have to wait a monthto have the weed clear my system
P.S. this is only my second time doing weed, the last time i did it i had 1 brownie and a couple hits back in september
How long does weed stay in the blood stream?
roughly a week if i remember correctly
or maybe a month it's been a really long time since i had that issue
Reply:If they have no suspicion of drug use, then they won't test for it. The normal blood tests to check your health, that check for blood counts and metabolic panels, do not include drugs.
Don't sweat it. The weed is making you paranoid. He he!
Reply:About 30 days. I've also seen someone pass a test only ten minutes after they used, because it takes about twenty minutes to enter your blood stream granted you haven't done it a month before that.
Reply:The doctor specifically has to check for drug content. If he's checking you for a health reason, it won't show up in the testing.
It's costs money to check for different things in blood - they only run the tests they have to.
Reply:it's probably best to wait till it's gone from your blood stream before going.
does your mom know about it? coz if it's still in your blood stream when you have the test, then she might find out about it.

Does anyone know of a weed killer that kills large weeds but is non toxic and safe for family and pets?
Our yard is full of dandelions. Large ones at that. Yet I don't want anyone in our family to have to spend hours outside and only clear a small part of the yard. Help?
Does anyone know of a weed killer that kills large weeds but is non toxic and safe for family and pets?
I control mine by just keeping the lawn mowed. Our lawn hasn't had weed killer or fertilizer applied to it in over 25 years. Mowing the grass before the dandelions form seeds will get rid of 90% of them, or at least keep them in check. The bonus is that the lawn stays greener during the summer without having t resort to lots of watering.
Using household vinegar may help although research has shown that the acid concentration (5%) generally has a minimal effect on weeds.
Our blog has an entry dated May 25th that talks about a product that's a by-product of corn that will be safe for your family-

What are the best tools to do my garden?
I have a good size garden completely overgrown with dock leaves and weeds.
Hiring someone to do the work costs a fortune, so I've decided to do it myself.
I need to kill the weeds, clear space and get the soil ready to put rollout grass on top.
So far the best idea I've had is to hire a Brush cutter to cut them down, then use a flame gun to burn the remaining ones (also thought it might help the soil).
Is this the best approach or do you have any better ideas?
Please help!!
What are the best tools to do my garden?
You've had some quotes for the work right? And they were all expensive? I'd say you are about to take on a project of mammoth proportions all on your own - look after your back!
Your first task is to cut down the vegetation as much as you can, scythe whatever is most suited to the job. Next you want to kerb regrowth - either cover the whole area with black plastic or other non-permeable sheeting. Dig out the roots of the docks. Leave this for at least 4 weeks. Return to it and remove surface remnants of vegetation. Next use a rotavator to till the ground - removing remaining roots and large stones.
Next rake the ground so that it is flat all over. Once raked, you will have to tamp down the whole area - either with your feet or a tamping tool. Now you are ready to roll out your turfs. Laying them is quite a skill, then you have to care for this area very carefully for the next year.
Reply:To get any garden looking nice when it has been left to rot is backbreaking work, but worth it in the end. Get a hedge spade [slightly narrower than normal] a rake, a hoe and edging shears.Dig up all the weeds and compost them, as with all the other rubbish. Nice to see a bit of sweat.
Reply:I used Roundup for gardens and let the garden set - then raked out the dead and tilled - let it set for a week and then ammended the soil with organic peat and manure before I planted.
You can rent a roto tiller at any rental facility.
Have you asked the farmers what they use in their crops to control dock? They would be your best source....in fact, think of how the farmers till and prepare their soil for the upcoming crop and what they use.
A local Quality Farm and Fleet would have the supplies you need as well as assistance for your specific needs in your area.

What can I do in the allotment when the ground is all wet and rain is predicted?
I just got the allotment in Sept and did a lot of digging and weed clearing in the autumn. I'd love to get going again, but it's been raining a lot and the ground is sodden!
What can I do in the allotment when the ground is all wet and rain is predicted?
Not a lot you can do at the moment. you could just continue tidying up a bit but if I were you, for the moment, I would just keep looking at with the a great sense of satisfaction knowing that you have it and look forward to better weather you can really get stuck in. I think this time of year is always a bit dull as far as gardening is concerned. All you can do is think about the space you have and plan what you are going to do with it when the weather improves.
Reply:I like sitting in a potting shed looking at the seeds that I intend to order at this time of year. Also a good time to maintain your forks, spades etc (rubbing them clean with an oily rag, so they won't rust). Cleaning pots out with hot soap and water to prevent mite and virus build up. And anyother general maintaince jobs like that.
Also, if you are on clay soil, take note of where the water is forming puddles/ponds/lakes and draw it on a detailed plan, then think about making better drainage in the Spring, so that next Winter, you can still grow overwintering veg without them rotting away.
Good luck with the coming season!
Reply:If you haven't got a shed ?well now`s the time to build one
then when the weathers bad you can be getting every
thing up to scratch whilst getting the kettle on a little
butane stove,even a bit of shed decorating.

Reply:Fertilise it with fish blood and bone, or with potash. This will seep into the soil far better if its wet.
Its a quiet time at the mo, its really more about planning what you are going to do this year. What you are planting and ordering your seeds. Cleaning equipment, etc, etc.
Have patience, there is little point getting too active until the last of the frosts.
Reply:Nowt, stop in bed.
Reply:During the winter months there is not much you can do by way of digging ot sowing outside. Allotmenters use this time to tidy their plots and sheds, and order seeds and do some planning. You may take the opportunity to look how the water collects around the beds and maybe dig some trenches to improve drainage. I suspect that you may have leaves delivered so now is the time to build up your store of leaves for rotting down to leaf-mold. It takes about 2 years so start now.
Reply:Not alot.
Ground should be left if it is too wet,
Sit out of the rain and draw up a plan of the garden and work out your yearly calender.

What's the deal with cannabis/weed/marijuana in Nova Scotia, Canada?
I just read this article:
http://www.cannabisculture.com/articles/...
and I'm still somewhat confused... Why are people still so sketchy about weed in Nova Scotia, and even around Canada about weed if it's "legal"... When am I going to hear from the government itself that weed is decriminalized? Please clear all this up for me, thanks.
What's the deal with cannabis/weed/marijuana in Nova Scotia, Canada?
Weed is not legal in Canada. The police are not going to bust people for possession unless the person is a complete idiot but technically it is still illegal. It was never decriminalized nor will it be.
Reply:Marijuana use in Canada is only for medical by doctors prescription.
They are paranoid everywhere, especially more now since America JR has to follow that stupid "War on Drugs" from the US.
Nova Scotia is on the edge of the ocean, and straight across is Morocco, one of the only countries left in the world where weed is 100% legal. Authorities fear importation of drugs, thats why NS is worse than anywhere else in Canada, other than BC.

When should i clear my garden?
I have inherited an overgrown garden with my new house - what is the best time to gut it (pretty much) and put in new stuff- i also want to put in a patio area and a play area for my son. It's covered in bindweed, periwinkle, weeds and more weeds.
When should i clear my garden?
I would wait until late spring - say late march. if there are spring bulbs they will show up by then, and everything else will still be dormant from winter. Try to leave some of the structural details (eg trees) as they add character to a garden.
Reply:first plan your back yard... anywhere you are going to have for flowers go through and decided if there is anything you want to keep.. if not.. well i would start now.. clear the weeds and find some perennials (not annuals) and plant them now.. they will have fall and winter to establish their roots, (plants may not grow in the winter, but many plants take the chance to put the energy into their roots to make them stronger. planting in the fall is a gardeners secret.
Reply:you can start now, dont rush, start digging small areas taking up as much weed root as u can, cover with weed control fabric (from any garden centre) hold in place with bricks to stop it blowing away. The weeds will be suppressed as they need light to grow. this will give you time to plan your garden without worrying about the weeds taking over even more.

Reply:First of all, start with a plan, go out and walk around the area and jot down what you want each area of your yard to have, rather a garden, a patio or a play area. Check out some landscaping books from your library or get some magazines, jotting down ideals you like.

This fall is the best time to kill out the areas of growth you want to get rid of and to reseed your yard.
Come spring you can plant the new plants and do the other work.

if your planting shrubs and trees then do that next but wait for spring for most flowers with the exception of Spring bulbs which can go in at the same time as the shrubs
Lawn is best laid in the autumn when its damp as is lawn seed but don't cut until spring

Masking agents don't work, and can be detected by the lab.
Ditto with flushing agents.
If it is an unsupervised test (like for employment), you need to buy a clean urine kit. It has powdered urine (add water) and a heating unit to get it to the correct temp. It's not cheap, but you can have them overnighted.
If it is a supervised test (like for probation)....all you can do is pray, lol.
If you don't use often, or much, you might be ok, regardless. If you smoke regularly....not so much.
PS. contrary to popular opinion, drinking water/cranberry juice/sweating/etc will not help. It will however, alert them to the fact that you are trying to cover something up. They don't just test for drugs, folks. They also test specific gravity and creatine among other things to catch people who are trying to mask/flush drugs out of their system.

drink lots of water to flush your system......i am talking atleast a gallon a day
they have over the counter drug test....take one at home before you test for a job or anything like that.

Why does everyone buy into the governments BS about Smoking Weed?
Also why does everyone think that stoners are burnout losers? I'm 14 and try to get blazed every weekend, and if I can a couple times a week.
Just to clear this up I have actually been a straight A student ever since I started toking.
Why does everyone buy into the governments BS about Smoking Weed?
You are right about the "government", though broad term, making too big a deal about smoking weed. However, mind you it does alter your senses and smoking (anything) can affect you in the long run. Humans are not ment to inhale smoke.
Reply:Sorry to burst your little bubble but you might want to do some research into the affects of weed. Having studied health psychology (and i don't mean the type where you weren't loved enough by you mum, but actual biological findings) there is a high probability that long term use will have a negative affect on you. I am not going to lie and say that i have never tried it, i have on occations smoked weed but have not had more than a couple of drags every few months.
I refuse to have any more but not because i doubt my will power. When you use certain substances, your body can recognise it as a chemical which is produced on a regular basis, and as there is an external source it stops to produce the chemical. When this happens scarcely you would not really feel any different.. but the longer you take the substance the harder it will be for your body to start producing that particular chemical. It can in essence trigger a domino affect, because of the way a human body works.
A lot of this is related to the brain, as this plays such an important part in running the human body, from temperature control to chemical balances, motor and neuron reflexes, etc.
Its because of this any addiction is bad, and it just so happens that some subtances are a lot more addictive than others. I have tried to explain this in as short a form as i could.
I am not trying to preach to you, everyone reacts to things differently and i'm not saying that you will definitely suffer in the long run but then it is up to you to decide whether you want to take the risk or not. For me the possibility of anything happenning is a good enough deterent because i don't want to mess up my future.
hayes

Where can I get one of these hoes?
I'm looking for an old fashioned hoe. Not a Dutch hoe, but the kind which has a heavy pickaxe type handle and a metal part which bends back towards you. The metal part is sometimes square and sometimes triangular. You see them a lot in continental Europe and they are great to work with, especially when clearing weeds from large areas.
Is this called a 'draw hoe?
Where can I get one?

I has a lot of weeds to pull, rocks average size to move in order to rake out all the leaves and trimming of hedges and a couple of trees kind of short.
How much should I charge to clear and neaten up a 10x 8 flowerbed?
It probably comes down to how much per hour is your time worth? You'll also want to add in any items you may need to purchase to do the job if the items are not provided for you i.e. chore gloves, tools, etc.

How can I clear out my new community garden plot organically?
I just got a community garden plot. I have until next spring to get it all cleaned up for planting. The problem is, it was abandoned all year and is completely covered in weeds. It's pretty much a big patch of tall grass. (the plot is 20'x20') What's the best way to get rid of it all, including the roots, so that it won't grow back later? I'm not allowed to use any chemicals so it needs to be an organic solution.
Any other tips on having a successful vegetable garden would be appreciated too!
How can I clear out my new community garden plot organically?
cut all weeds as low as possable and rake debris up and remove from plot. till area good and rake grass and roots up and remove. repeat process until soil is clean and then till in some amendments like peat moss or chichen or turkey manure or black cow manure from the store. have a soil test done and they will tell you how much lime and fertilizer to apply and till this in good too and rake again. till and rake again in the spring.
Reply:Mow off the grass and weeds. If you are allowed, burn off the residue (helps eliminate weed seeds). If not, rake up the residue. Hoe the plot (good SHARP hoe), cutting deep enough to cut off the grass and weed crowns. Turn the plot with a shovel. You can turn it twice with a shovel and have it pretty well broken up. Remove any root clumps and plant crowns in the process. This process should not take longer than 3 or 4 hours, much less if you have help, 20 X 20 feet is not very big.
Apply lime and 3 inches of organic matter. Turn the soil twice more, and you are done for the winter.
Reply:santa clause herbicide--hoe!hoe!hoe!
Reply:If it were me, I'd cut down the existing vegetation and then use a scuffle hoe to clear the plot. Scuffle hoes remove just the very top layer of soil and also lift out the exisiting vegetation by the roots.. You can then rake it up and dispose of it.
Reply:I would cut it down as far as you can. Then cover it with a heavy plastic tarp and leave it there. The heat that is produced by the tarp will kill off all the weeds below. Come spring you can turrn the soil over several times, compost and plant.

they have a corn gluten weed killer that is 100% ORGANIC AND KILLS weeds and grass. it is a little expensive, but worth the cost in labor.
Reply:I'm afraid the only organic way to get rid of the grass is to get yourself a good pair of gloves and pull it up roots and all. You may need a spade or fork to dig it out. It will be easier if it's wet like right after a heavy rain.
Here's a great site to help you with your garden:
http://www.cdcg.org/goOrganic.html
You may want to try intensive gardening which is where you grow things in squares instead of having rows. Because you aren't using so much area as a place to walk, you have more room for plants. Also, using compact varieties of plants will allow you to grow more things than normal varieties. I grew incredible vegetables in raised beds that were equivalent to the plot you have. I had to give stuff away because we couldn't eat it all.
Reply:Not to be negative... but some misguided advice here---
When I studied in Europe, one of the most common farming and gardening tools we used- particularly in the UK, is a torch weeder.
It's also common in the USA in areas where organic growing is being conducted. But otherwise not very common...
I would reccomend cutting and removing (compost it on the property) the tall material. Use a torch weeder (or flame weeder) on the remaining vegatation.
It isn't important to burn the plants as if they were in a fire, simply slightly passing over the plants "burst their cells" internally. (yes- it "Kills " roots- but you may need to repate it again in Spring in a few areas)...
As the fall is seeding period, you may want to repeate the method in early Spring.... or use corn gluten.
Another person mentioned Corn Gluten- they are partly informed of the product, Corn Gluten does not kill plants grasses or weeds directly.... it ONLY blocks their seeds from growing (it's a preemergent weeder).
Using a tarp or plastic coverig will kill off some of the plants but it would only be 100% effective if you did this from Spring into Summer. Generally- it's too late in the season for this practice... some of the vegatation might survive a "tarp weeding." Especially some types of weeds.

How do I clear out my garden and start from scratch?
I live on the hill and have a long driveway. At the top, I have a retaining wall that's about 3 and a half feet high. Past the wall, the garden is at about a 45 degree angle for about six feet (~20 feet across), then the ground levels out into my yard/grass. The garden is completely overgrown with weeds, poison ivy, etc. Normally I would just take the lawn mower to it and mow everything down, but due to the angle, I won't be able to easily get at it with a lawn mower.
I can't seem to figure out what the best way to attack it is. I don't want to just dive in and start pulling because I'll be up to my elbows in poison ivy, spiders and possible snakes.
Any ideas would be helpful.
How do I clear out my garden and start from scratch?
I'd borrow a couple goats from the neighbors and let them have at it for a week or two, then do a cut and fill terrace and solarize.
No goats? Apply a good layer of poison ivy barrier cream like Ivy Block or Onguard to all exposed skin. Wearing long sleeved shirt, long pants, gloves, and with a sweat rag tied around your forehead if it's a warm day, start at the driveway with loppers and work across, bundling the materials for composting. DO NOT BURN PI!!! It can, however, be safely composted.
Then continue with cut and fill and solarization. Intermediate retaining walls may be needed.
Reply:When I feel the need to redesign, I just give everything a good spraying with some Roundup. That will kill everything. Let everything dry out and you should be able to rake it up with no problem a couple of weeks after application. There is also a product called MSMA that will take care of the greenery AND the insects. Not too sure about the snakes...does a neighbor have a cat you can borrow for a few days before getting out in your garden? That will definately help run the snakes away! I know many don't like to use chemicals in their gardens, but this is the most effective and quickest way to handle the problem other than some good old elbow grease! I have a friend who swears by burning his garden back, but he is a bit of a pyro and there are often local laws that prohibit such.Good Luck!

Reply:I am not fond of chemical herbicides. I would chop down what you can ( wear gloves to avoid the poison ivy ) and then finish clearing with a suffle hoe. Scuffle hoes churn up the earth just below the surface and clear the weed roots out. Then either put down some landscape cloth and mulch or re-plant with the materials of your choice.
Reply:I have a similar problem hillside and to clear it we used a gas powered string cutter. Wear long pants tucked into your socks and good gripping boots, hubby wore long sleeves and a mask, too. We cut it down as low as we could with the trimmer and then used a weed killer on the little bits that were left. Once everything up there was dead, we used that handy dandy garden weasel to churn up the earth and planted bouganvillea, acacia, some trees and oleander up there. Now we apply pre-emergent weed and feed to keep it free of weeds about every three months. It is my intention to haul mulch up there once we recover from the clearing and planting...

If workable, you might want to consider terracing the 45 degree slope.

i would spray them while they are alive w At Rosen its a brush herbicide. then in two weeks or there abouts cut it off. You have to becareful bc it has a long residual in the ground. so u may find it hard to grow stuff there for awhile. But the brush will never come back.
Reply:Yes, cut them down and then treat them with a root killer.
Reply:Put a tow chain around trunk hook up to come along or block and tacle and other solid object and pull out.
Reply:Caterpillar D9, heck even a D8 will get the job done. If in Japan, try a Komatsu.

Poor condition lawn - I need to remove weeds and get the grass growing back?
The lawn has been poorly treated for years (just bought new house). There are a lot of weeds and moss areas in grass. I am thinking of:
1. mowing short, then laying down weed/moss killer and
2. then after a week or so using an electric raker to really clear the weeds.
3. Not sure if I need to also use a aerator and spinkle down sharp sand to also give the ground less compaction
4. I was then planning to fertilise ground and then overseed and roll in seeds
5. then of course water grass every day for several weeks to get the new grass seeds growing
Any thoughts? (I'm in UK so weather over next month is probably quite dry but grass seed can be planted anytime from May-Sept so it should be OK)
Poor condition lawn - I need to remove weeds and get the grass growing back?
had the same problem with my lawn in my new house 2 years ago.
Step 1: Mowed Lawn
Step 2: Used Weed and Feed then Watered in
Step 3: Waited 7 days then manually raked out all weeds
Step 4: Nearly cried as lawn looked a right mess.
Step 5: Raked the soil
Step 6: Mixed bags of new topsoil with grass seed
Step 7: Spread new soil/seed across required patches of lawn (ie most of it)
Step 8: Watered Daily
Result:
95% of the lawn is now fantastic. There are one or two areas that require retreating - I am currently doing this and the rather inclement weather has not hindered the process.
Note: I noticed the seed and topsoil method at a golf course and gave it a try - works really well.
However - Do NOT re wee and feed for a minimum of 6 months after the new seed is taken.
Mow about 3 weeks after grass begins to visibly grow.
Reply:Your plan seems reasonable enough, Grass is pretty tough, so with care it should get back to looking reasonable eventually, but it will not be instantaneous, and couple take a couple of years.
I would concentrate on aeration, sharp sand and watering to get the roots stronger before tackling the surface problems.
Reply:Use feed and weed,wait till September and then put some sand down and sow some seed.this is the best time as weeds dont grow in the winter,keep watered.You will see a difference next spring.It all takes time.If you want a new lawn right away you will have to lay turf which is very expensive.
GOOD LUCK
If it is very compacted aerate it before sowing seeds.
Reply:I agree with putting in some extra seeds in places where the grass is thin. Let them grow for a few weeks then get some lawn food (think we got ours in B%26amp;Q or Woolworths). The stuff works like a dream! Our lawn won't stop growing now and is thick and lush. We have to cut it once a week, and we water if the weather has been dry a few days.
Good luck!
Reply:Sounds like you know what you are doing...I would have just said use a good weed killer like weed b gone...that is what I used and it worked really well! Good luck to you!!
Reply:Your problem with moss will continue unless you alter the soil and surrounding conditions in your yard. Here's a guideline for you to follow;
1) Spray the existing broadleaved weeds with a 2-4, D product. Make sure to irrigate the lawn prior to spraying so the weeds are more succulent and accept the weedkiller. Once you spray, do not irrigate for 48 hours.
2) The reason you may be seeing moss on your lawn is possible because the pH of your soil may be too acidic. Purchase an pH meter at your local hardware store, there are inexpensive ones (around $8 to $10 here in the U.S.). Although they're not the most accurate, they'll give you an approximate reading. IF your soil is below 6.5, you should add pelletized lime at recommended rates.
Moss also favors shaded areas and soils that do not drain well. Try trimming any trees that might provide too much shade to your lawn.
To improve the soil's ability to drain better, I'd recommend aerating your lawn (irrigate deep the day prior). After aeration, remove the plugs and discard. Broadcast compost over the entire area at a depth of 2 inches and make sure the holes are filled with compost (you can use a push-broom to do this).
The compost will help break-up tight soil and while adding organic matter. The beneficial microbes in the compost will also help the roots of your lawn gather more nutrients.
Sand is not a good choice in this instance since it doesn't hold water and will not reduce soil compaction. Instead, you may want to divert that money by adding some pelletized gypsum which will also reduce compaction.
3) Once you've leveled (by raking) the compost over the area, you're ready to broadcast your grass seeds. The organic matter will help retain moisture so the seeds will have a better chance of germinating. Make sure you water your grass seeds 3 to 4 time a day for a minimum of two weeks. Try not to water after 4 PM to avoid the incidence of any water molds (such as Pythium) from developing.
You'll probably get a few more weeds emerging after your grass seeds germinate but you should wait for a couple of months before spraying them.
I think once you do this, you'll see a dramatic improvement in the condition of your lawn. GOOD LUCK!

Reply:In USA we have a product called Ortho Weed-be- Gone if not available in UK try a similer product ,but note that when appling chemicals they don't lose there killing abilities for weeks.Follow the label warnings. Seeds will not germinate if the chemical is still active in the soil. Best results are obtained with a liqiud application again follow label warnings.If you have any garden beds you may want to cover with plastic sheets (drop clothes) you may think theres no present wind ,but there is.After you have killed your weeds. You may want to airrate the soil with Peat moss as well along with the sand . Roto till it in ,then level then seed, fertilize and lime. Then apply a thin layer of peat moss again this will enable you to retain moisture and blanket you seed. This all so heats the seed increasing the growth process Just remember get perenial seed not cheep seed. Good luck!!!

How long does it take weed to leave your system?
how long before weed leaves your system and you can clear a drug test after smoking?
and are cigarillos and cigars bad for you?
How long does it take weed to leave your system?
im tired of people asking this when you ask a question you can see if someone has asked it.
if you are not overweight ( since thc is stored in fat cells) and you drink 8 glasses of water a day it will take thirty days. if anyone tells you to get those cleansers...dont do it. now adays labs can test for the chemical found in those cleansers.
Reply:It takes around 40 days.
Reply:I heard it can take anywhere from 2 weeks to a month for weed to leave your system. There are some kinds of herbs you can use like golden seal to clean it out of your system, and some head shops sell some herbs that are supposed to help, but if you are too clean, you can look suspicious as well.
Anything you smoke is bad for you. It gets into your lungs and basically destorys them.
Reply:It takes about a month to get the THC out of your system. Inhaling anything is not healthy, but puffing on a cigar and not inhaling is probably the least of the evils.
Reply:SMOKING ANYTHING IS BAD FOR U!! Even salad greens. My friends dad smokes a 5 pound bag of spinach every day.
Reply:This takes 25-32 day for an average person. On the other hand if you are skinny then it will take anywhere from 34-39 but 40 at the most. If you are overweight then it will take only 22-28. I personally never smoked weed but i just got done learning it in 8th grade health.

How to get weed out of your system?
I stopped smoking weed for 5 months. On 4/20 i had like 6-7 pulls off a blunt. How long will it take to clear out my system if i take a blood or urine test soon. And what can i do to make it leave faster.
How to get weed out of your system?
it depends on your percentage of body fat, if you need to take a urine test you can pick up synthetic pee at most smoke shops, just ask for it, they tell you how to use it. My BF did it for a well know corportate company who tests are veyr stick and he passed with flying colors. Its what they use to regulate the machines that test for drugs. as for a blood test I cant help you there buddy.
Reply:im not an expert but id say it would take around 2 - 3 weeks best thing you can do is drink lots of fluids, they also sell something you can drink that cleans out your system at your local nutritional store. hope this helps bin in your situation
Reply:It may stay in your system for like about a month, and if you want it out of your system drink alot but alot of water it will help it..... I know this because i have a couple of friends that do it and they drink alot of water before they take a drug test. I personally don't see the point in doing drugs but hey what i know i've never tryied any drugs and im glad i haven't i know im not missing out on anything!!
Reply:If you've taken that long off from smoking, probably a week at most. Take a jog and that'll clear up your lungs and it should be totally gone from your system a few days after that.

Will planting ivy ground cover completely take over weeds and grass, or do I have to clear the ground?
In my experience ivy covers absolutely everything and rapidly. Eventually it will cover grass, weeds and also climb up any other shrubs or walls and take a hold.
It can be very invasive but you can cut it back regularly to stop its growth for a while. It would be better to reasonably clear the area to give it a good start and plant at intervals over the area you wish to be covered, water well and it will find it's own way. Good luck.
Will planting ivy ground cover completely take over weeds and grass, or do I have to clear the ground?
Depends on the weeds. Ivy will cover deep rooted perennial weeds but they will grow through. Things like ground elder will cover the ivy. Clear is always the best answer
Reply:For best results, clear the ground. The ivy may take a couple years to fill in the bare spots'

Blanket weed?
Can anyone recommend something to clear blanket weed. I own a fisheries (2 large lakes) and now that Clarisan has been taken off the market I don't know what to use and the blanket weed is pretty bad now.
Thank you.
Blanket weed?
Bionetix Aquaclean is a natural algae and blanket weed removal. (This also deals with Fisheries) Industrial size may be more cost effective for you.
Reply:Hope it works for you. Thank you. Report It
Reply:Some cold stoners.
Reply:your best bet is to use barley straw until you find something that is similar to Clarisan. it will help to keep it at bay. good luck with your fisheries
Reply:I usually pull it out carefully by hand or roll it around a stick. It appears after a hot sunny spell. If the water fountain is put on regularly this slows the growth down. Have you a little boat you can row around the lake and check out the weed. You'd have to lean out and pull the weed in by hand. This is of course if you had the time and was a good swimmer, incase you toppled in. I shall follow this question up with interest.
Reply:Apart from Barley straw the only way I know is physically rake it.

How long will it take for weed to get out of my system?
I smoked a few hits of M.J fri night. The next day I found out I have to go in for a drug test sometime next week for my new job. I am by no means a stoner, I will take a few hits every so often. I think the last time I did it before this was in march and it was only like a hit or two. Well I have been drinking water/cranberry juice like crazy, I also am on this dietary detox thing (I started it before I even applied for the job) and it is supposed to clear my system of any toxins. I also am taking goldseal and I even tried that pickle juice thing. I have a pretty fast metabolism. I think I should be clean by a week, but does anyone know how long it should take to pass through, taking all the above into consideration. I dont really want to splurge for a $40 drink unless I really need too. Im gonna take a home test in a few days to see if its out. But yeah...does anyone have any ideas on how long it should take to get out. I get so many diffrent answers I dont know what to believe!
How long will it take for weed to get out of my system?
I heard marijuana can stay from 2 days to 11 weeks in our system. Lots of Water is a great think if you are trying to flush the toxins out. Aloe Vera along with grapefruit, Liquid Chlorophyll or Chlorophyll Capsules are great cleansers.
I would avoid any other types of toxins found in processed foods, stop smoking (regular cigarettes if I smoke), until the test is over.
The website below advertises a Fast THC Marijuana Detox Kit. I have no idea if this is worth anything, the quality of the product, possible side effects. Also, I would be very cautious if I decided to go that route. good luck.
PS. Well, it looks like people who answered had already an idea regarding these miracle products. I guess you can scratch this option. stay with the water and the herbs recognized as great cleansers.
Reply:Do not waste your money on any product that promises to "clean out" your system. There is absolutely NO WAY to fool a drug test. No supplements, vitamins, herbs, drugs of any kind, vinegar, pickle juice.......nothing. It takes at least 10 days for it to get out of your urine. If they take a hair follicle, that can test positive for 6 months.
Believe me. I have seen people try everything and it never, ever works.
Reply:If you are a casual user, 10 days is plenty to get rid of it in your urine. Unfortuately, if they take hair it's in there forever, it never goes away.
Drink plenty of oj, seriously the high acid wil help.
good luck, dont sweat it, you'll be fine and stop all that junk!
Reply:All of the stuff that claims to clean your system is bull, so save your money. If you are doing a urine test, it may not show up since you took only a few hits. If it is a hair folicle test, it can detect anything you have had in your system for the past year. Years ago I passed a drug screen by simply being honest and telling the testor that I smoked weed. He thanked me for my honesty and passed me.

I stopped smoking for ONE DAY, and used q-carbo
theres a drink sold in health food stores. it costs 22$. its called Q-Carbo. You can find it online too. I'm a hardcore stoner. I smoke appx. 2 bowls a day if not more, what can i say, i just love weed. the drink seriously works, but its temporary...its jam packed with 1,200% of your daily B2 vitamin. It speeds your metabolism and keeps your urine yellow, so there is no cause for a re-test. You drink the stuff, and follow it up with NO excessive movement. Along with the metabolism it speeds your heartrate, needless to say dont follow it up with an energy drink. you pretty much sit on the couch and have to drink AS MUCH WATER AS POSSIBLE, to the point where you cannot drink any more... once you go to the bathroom 4 times, or until your urine doesnt look the normal color, like clear with a wierd tinge of yellow, you go and take your test. once the drink kicks in you will have to go to the bathroom at least every 15 minutes. after you take the drink, you must take the test between 2 and 6 hours. i wasn't sure the first time i did it, but i've used it three times now, and i fully guarantee it to work, i swear by it....ALSO....there is a 100% refund, you only need to keep the reciept and the bottle, there is a number to call on the bottle. this is assuming it doesnt work for you, but i guarantee you, on my job and yours this WILL work.
THIS IS NO MIRACLE DRINK, THE REASON IT WORKS IS THE B2 VITAMIN THEY USE, you CANNOT purchase b2.

What are some side effects i should look for if i smoke a little bit of weed for the first time ever??
Ok, ive never smoked ever in my life, but i do kind of want to try a little bit of weed just to see how it feels to be high and to see how i would react. I dont want it to be a habit, i just want to try this one and only time, but im not clear on what are some possible side effects, besides the munchies, on a first timer's first hit. so can some one help me out please...thankz
What are some side effects i should look for if i smoke a little bit of weed for the first time ever??
u wont really be able to tell ur high at first...u probly will laugh a bit more...the main thing is that u like forget wut u said like 2 seconds ago...i did lots for my first time n when i stopped i was pissed at everybody...it mite make u go mad a bit...but nuthin is really bad...ull have sum good fun
Reply:It is my opinion that everybody should try weed at some point in their lifetime. When you smoke weed, the effect depends on the type of strain you have. It can either give you a nice energetic cerebral "high", or a full-body "couch-lock" stone; essentially either up or down. There is also a related saying: "When your mouth is dry, you know you're high." You basically get a dry mouth. Additionally, weed is not addictive, unless you let yourself get addicted. I also believe people should not be afraid of weed, as it's not really a drug. It's the same as tobacco, except it doesn't kill you; it's a plant, plain and simple. Show me a fat dude high on weed with a bag of marshmallows on his lap, watching cartoons at 3 am, I'll show you someone who isn't causing any trouble. I realize I rambled quite a bit here, but I hope I helped.

What are some side effects i should look for if i smoke a little bit of weed for the first time ever??
u wont really be able to tell ur high at first...u probly will laugh a bit more...the main thing is that u like forget wut u said like 2 seconds ago...i did lots for my first time n when i stopped i was pissed at everybody...it mite make u go mad a bit...but nuthin is really bad...ull have sum good fun
Reply:It is my opinion that everybody should try weed at some point in their lifetime. When you smoke weed, the effect depends on the type of strain you have. It can either give you a nice energetic cerebral "high", or a full-body "couch-lock" stone; essentially either up or down. There is also a related saying: "When your mouth is dry, you know you're high." You basically get a dry mouth. Additionally, weed is not addictive, unless you let yourself get addicted.

How can I clear my system of drugs for a blood or urine test?
The specific drugs that I want to know about are Marajuana and Ecstasy. I know that you can purchase something over the counter for weed but is there a juice you can drink i heard? Also what about ecstasy?
How can I clear my system of drugs for a blood or urine test?
no the things purchased over counter dont work...
marijuana stays in your body for a month, its stored in fat cells, so work out allot and drink gallons of water daily, i suggest like two a day, you can also put a teaspoon of bleach in each gallon (no it will not even be close to poisoning you) but ecstay come out of your system in less then 4 days, and anything else cut with ecstay like heroin (not likely sinse heroin chemicals destroys mdma) or meth or lsd, those dont stay in your system for more then a couple days either,

How long does it take for Marijuana to completly clear your system?
I am 113 pounds and about 5'5. I am not very athletic but i am skinny and have a great metabolism. I hear all those have great influences on getting weed out of your system. I stopped smoking a good 25 days ago. I have my urine test in a week. So that would give me a total of 32 days. I have not done any extra excersie and i have not drank any more water than i usually do. So my question is will i be ok if i was about a once a week smoker and quit for 32 days before my test and is there anything else that has helped you quickly flush out your system of THC.

Hey Justin,
trust me because I have been testing bi-weekly for over 5 years.
Through trial and of coarse, ERROR...
you have nothing to worry about, pot is known to stay in your system for years because the body stores the THC in our fat cells. However, if you have been clean for nearly 30 days and only smoked 2x per week your home free. THC is only visible in a urinalysis for 30 days from the day you last smoked. If you want to be double sure your clean for your test you can drink certo,with 2 32 oz bottles of water2 hours before the time of your test, making sure you urinate at least three times before you test and that your pee is almost clear before you make your deposit.
However keep in mind some agencies like probation and parole look for additives in the urine, or missing substances like creatine. If your pee looks too clear, they will call it a wash and will often give you a dirty result for trying to cover your test, if they suspect you are trying to give a washed test. I personally have used certo for years and have never had a problem.with it, works like a charm every time. I have gone as far as smoking the night before I had to test and passed. Good luck my man. p.s. you find it in the veggie department or on the isle which has the baking supplies on it in your local grocery store, certo is used to can jellies and jams.

Reply:Here's an excerpt:
Concentration of THC can be detected through the amount of metabolites in urine. Enzyme Multiplied Immunoassay Technique (EMIT) is the most common way to determine these concentrations. Decreasing detection times can be accomplished by increasing metabolism through exercise and or a high calorie diet. Furthermore, lightweight people usually experience greater effects and less difficulty expelling the chemicals. Heavier people, on the other hand, have greater quantities of body fluids. The greater concentrations of body fluids, including blood, dilute the drug (WWW4).

What's the most important thing to do for or in the allotment right now?
I've got an allotment in North London. I did lots of digging to clear weeds and clear last year's crops in the autumn when I got the allotment.
I haven't been there much 'cos of the wet weather and I've got some seeds germinating at home, but what else could I or should I be doing?
What's the most important thing to do for or in the allotment right now?
Wow. Well, if I were you I'd get down there and make sure the weeds haven't all come back. I dug my allotment early last spring but after a couple of months it was all overgrown again, and I struggled against the weeds all summer. You need to be vigilant and not let them get re-established!
March is a good time to plant potatoes, onions and garlic, as well as peas and a lot of perennial crops if you're planning to grow them (like asparagus, rhubarb, artichokes and fruit bushes).
It's also good to get an early start with planning out where your beds will be, maybe marking out paths, that sort of thing.
I know the weather's not great, but to an extent you just have to grin and bear it! UK weather's never that great, and you don't want to ONLY tend your allotment when it's hot and sunny! I've been busy on mine since mid-Feb!
Read some blogs from people with allotments and see what they're up to now, and get a good allotment book that tells you what you can be doing month by month. Kitchen Garden magazine is great too!
Good luck with your allotment this year - there's nothing so satisfying as growing your own healthy organic food!

But I thought one of the great advantages of an allotment is that other 'experts' will be close by - and there's a lot of cross-fertalisation of help,advice,assistance and even exchange of surplus plants etc - from those nearby - with experience of the soil acidity level, etc. Which I'm sure would be of much more help to you - than any general advice you might get on this site.
Most gardeners love to help 'beginners' - so don't be shy or afraid to ask those close by - you'll probably be amazed by the amount of help available.

How can you clear marijuana out of your system?
A friend of mine, not a regular weed smoker, smoked a joint last week and has to take a drug test in a few days. What can she take to "get clean" by the time she has to pee? She has smoked in the past also but not regularly.
How can you clear marijuana out of your system?
It all depends on the person's body fat and rate of metabolism, as well as how often the person does it. I know a friend who smokes like crazy, but is a marathon runner, and triathelete. The substance stays in him for a week, tops. It's different for different people. So just remember those factors whenever you smoke, or your friend smokes, in case of drug testing.
As for your friend, if she has been clean for about a week, then I say she's fine. You mention she's smoked in the past but not often, so that's a good sign she'll past. Drink PLENTY water, and try to sweat alot. Have her exercise to sweat out the toxins.
If she's really worried, you can always use over the counter drugs to "flush" out your system. I think they're anti-oxidant drinks, or something to that effect that flushes and cleans out your whole system, but taste nasty as ****. So it's up to you. From what I'm sensing, she's fine.
Final thoughts, how long the substance stays in you is determined by how often you do it, and how fast your metabolism in relation to your body fat is. Drink plenty water, sweat it out, keep clean, and if all else use "flush" medicines to clean out your system. Hope that helps.
Good luck with your friend too.
Reply:This sounds dumb but it works. Drink those lemonade crystal light things that you dissolve in water. drink alot and you will be clean.
Reply:very simply do not smoke it ever!! some people will say pot is a herb or a leaf,they are liars and only fooling themselves!!!
it is an illegal narcotic and greatly impairs the person who smokes it ,their brain functions,timing and perception and motor skills,it acts as a depressant and destroys brain cells.if you smoke while pregnant there is a high risk to the unborn baby for both physical and mental retardation.just don't do it!!!
it is not worth it!!! remember there are no victimless crimes--- one way or another we all pay for it!

Clearing up after weed?
i am about to get a job and get tested but the problem is that i smoked weed last monday and i am supposed to get tested this coming sataurdy.....so please is there any way that i can clear the weed out of my blood and urine....
Clearing up after weed?
Sorry my friend if they are giving you a blood or hair test. but good news if they are giving you a urine test. Head to your local head shop and ask about masking your urine and which product they carry has had the best results. Be careful about saying words like "weed" or "drug" inside. They tend to frown on that kinda stuff.
Reply:you better stat right away...go to GNC.. they have alot of things...better have some money!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Reply:if its a blood test.. oh boy i cant help you. they stay in much longer and saturday is too close to tell.
but if its just urine, detox and youll be fine.
if youre not a regular smoker it really should be out of your system completely without doing anything at all in 2 weeks.
so if you detox for a couple days im sure youll be fine.
lost of water, cranberry juice, and if you like tea, there is a detox tea that cleans out your stystem. (it makes you pee and poo quite a bit so i dont suggest drinking it if youre at work or school)
good luck!
*edit*
oh and the day of and day before try not to dilute your pee so much (drinking a lot to make yourself pee) because some places will notice so try to go back to your normal eating/ drinking rutine.
Reply:http://drug-detox.co.uk/thc-marijuana-de...
There are many online stores where you can buy detox supplements with rush delivery. Choose the ones which guaranty that the supplement itself is not detectable. Drink lots of good quality (ie. real) cranberry juice.
Good luck, dude!
Reply:that depends on alot of things
how much body fat u have (THC is fat soluble), how much u way, ur metabolism, how often u smoke
if it was a once in a while thing then ull be clean but if u smoke often then its hard to tell
i smoke eveyday and quit for two weeks and passed my drug test
im 6'0 200lbs more muscle then fat
if ur scared just drink alot of water to dilute ur pee and take a vitamin before u take the test to make ur pee yellow
Reply:I have went to GNC and paid 100.00 for something...it didnt work then another friend told me of Sony 7(herb store), well it didnt work either.....made my urine sample too clean.
The only thing I have ever heard of wroking which is nasty but drink vinegar and lots and lots of water.....
Reply:depends on how much you smoked.... detox drinks do not always work. The directions must be followed exactly, and depending on what test is used by the tox lab, the detox will show up as adulterated and it will be rejected. That may buy you some more time, but it also may indicate you are trying to mask something.
In the toxocology business there is a saying:
If you choose to use, you may choose to lose.
Good luck.

oh and the day of and day before try not to dilute your pee so much (drinking a lot to make yourself pee) because some places will notice so try to go back to your normal eating/ drinking rutine.

There are many online stores where you can buy detox supplements with rush delivery. Choose the ones which guaranty that the supplement itself is not detectable. Drink lots of good quality (ie. real) cranberry juice.
Good luck, dude!
Reply:that depends on alot of things
how much body fat u have (THC is fat soluble), how much u way, ur metabolism, how often u smoke
if it was a once in a while thing then ull be clean but if u smoke often then its hard to tell
i smoke eveyday and quit for two weeks and passed my drug test
im 6'0 200lbs more muscle then fat
if ur scared just drink alot of water to dilute ur pee and take a vitamin before u take the test to make ur pee yellow
Reply:I have went to GNC and paid 100.00 for something...it didnt work then another friend told me of Sony 7(herb store), well it didnt work either.....made my urine sample too clean.
The only thing I have ever heard of wroking which is nasty but drink vinegar and lots and lots of water.....
Reply:depends on how much you smoked.... detox drinks do not always work. The directions must be followed exactly, and depending on what test is used by the tox lab, the detox will show up as adulterated and it will be rejected. That may buy you some more time, but it also may indicate you are trying to mask something.
In the toxocology business there is a saying:
If you choose to use, you may choose to lose.
Good luck.
