527617 2007-02-25 04:59:00 Spoilsport... how will I know if I've been deteneted if I have nothing with which to make a comparison?

AB... I have a spray bottle (like an old windowcleaner bottle) filled with water, much easier than filling the tank thingie on the iron thingie :thumbs:

Hhmmm.
I think we can safely assume that my mother's advice to me isn't what yours told you.
(Equality of the sexes hasn't got that far yet...)

And that spray bottle is the best advice I've heard recently in the Aunt Daisy tradition.

And therein lies the problem.....how much water? how big a tub? in the sun or in the shade? manure???? should I talk to it? does brown mean dead?

me thinks it's not safe. not fair on the tree :(

and I seem to recall there are different types...and they need to be bought at certain heights...??????

Might just stick to me ironing....which I might add has TOTALLY lost appeal!

527625 2007-02-25 05:37:00 sigh................... the lemon trees sold in shops are usually a year or so old.......from memory at least 2 anyway......and if ya lucky will flower the year you get them........ and if it fruits with out breaking branches you may get a lemon or three off it.

but usually not the case...... maybe easier to get a new house that comes with a lemon tree? :p

527626 2007-02-25 05:39:00 If you don't iron all of the clothes, bedding and towels thoroughly in the place where I come from, Northern Rhodesia, then you will almost certainly have this happen:

I knew at least one NZer who had this happen to her whilst living there. Loads of children at the schools I went to got them, so did pets.

The African people use charcoal powered irons to spruce up their best clothes and keep this pest at bay.
