yummy in My Home& Garden

Do you think Hydroponic vegetables are safe? I bought a tomato from the supermarket and it was surprisingly yummy. The label said it came from a farm called "Eurofresh" and found on their page that it's grown hydroponically. Although it's not organic they don't use pesticides because everything is grown in a giant greenhouse. Do you think hydroponically grown produce is safe?

Yes, they're safe. Plants can't live on water alone. Like us, they need nutrients. The chemicals they use are chemical forms of the same nutrients plants normally find in the ground.

If you really want the same tree you need to root a cutting. Wait for the end of summer and cut a thin branch off and dip it in some rooting compound (not really needed) and keep it moist in the light soil, like in peat moss.

You can get scented air filter things for your air filter (that big paper thing you are supposed to change every 3 months) that will scent your air. I always get the cinnamon one, but they come in a bunch of different scents like flower, ocean breeze, tropical, etc... You can get them at Target or the Home Depot next to where they sell the air filters. About $3.50....(Answered by Crapface)

How can I protect my backyard fruit from animals who eat them? I have a nectarine tree in my backyard that bears fruit every summer. They're delicious once they're ripe but I wasn't able to try them this summer because all the squirrels, birds, and insects ate them. I tried to protect the fruit by wrapping them in little packages of newspaper but that didn't work. The animals still got away with it. I could purchase repellants, but I'm afraid of consuming the subtance that they contain. How can I enjoy those yummy nectarines in my backyard without the annoying animals in my way? The animals gather them as early as the fruit ... (Asked by Susie said so.)
