Mighty Milk Tomato Blight Cure

Posted on June 9, 2010 by eshields@5720

Update: Recipe from my dad…
The proportions that worked best for us so far were:
3 cups compost
1/2 cup powdered non-fat milk
1/2 cup Epsom salts
1 tbsp baking soda
We put a handful of the mixture in each planting hole.

1/4 cup Powdered milk
1/4 cup Epsom salt
1/4 cup Baking soda
1 shovel Compost

Suggested by my dad. I can’t find a solid source, but I pieced this recipe together.

First Ever Flaming Lips Show

Posted on April 23, 2010 by eshields@5720

I definitely recommend seeing a Flaming Lips show if you ever get the opportunity. We had a ball (literally and figuratively). Though I’m not sure what was more entertaining, the band, or the audience.
