Here is how the gases are made... I know it takes adding things to it but these gases are still being used today.
Anyway just me but I will not use bleach ever for any reason.
Wholesale gardening pots...?
To each his own Mitch/gessie...
Mitch, appreciate the links to back the history story! Quite interesting.....
I know I love to find out about how things started...
No hard feelings just not something I use and H2O2 I find works good for me.
Mitch I discovered the bleach and ammonia gas personally ... back in my young days! I was trying to get the rust off the floor in the a shower stall! I started screaming because I had I shut the door to the stall and could not find my way out! I will never forget that expierence. lol
I think we all learned in our twenties...........what it is like to combine any two cleaners........i did the same thing in the shower with clorox and Comet...........................haven't done that two times.................
Well shucks....in reading up on how to clean pots since there are so many chemicals I could use I found this:

:) Just for grins!
:-)
I knew you would appreciate that Mitch. :)
I love the fish graphic at the top... might have to track that one down.
Mitch, I respect your wishes..............just want you to know that I am 65 , gardened all my life, and have never met a single person in my life who refuses to use clorox...............and that is fine............this is what makes the world go round.................
thank you
same back to you.
Ok, ya got me!! lol I'm not a stupid person, but I had to go look up dihydrogenoxide - how dumb is that!?!?! lolololol
For those using bleach to clean things, it doesn't take very much to be effective; it also doesn't take very much to be DEstructive to things, so...... I've seriously cut back the bleach use in my home.
Tir Na Nog - try checking out the "Wholesale Lots" under "home & garden" at eBay. (love your name btw - what was your inspiration for it?)
I have wondered that too.. what does your name mean? I love it, there is not another like it anywhere on Daves.
OHHHH *blushing* you really are both to sweet! I wanted something gardening related and found this in my quest for baby names for my firstborn.... http://www.babynamesofireland.com/pages/tir-na-nog.html
SC---I don't think you stupid at all! I never was good in science so I would have wondered the same thing had I not already been told. :)
Mitch---you can track down graphics like that fish?! I'm impressed!
I knew the name from an older family movie I love, "Into the West" - a wonderful movie about Irish Travelers, 2 kids, and a horse named Tir na Nog. I love the name. ;)
You can read about the movie here - http://www.amazon.com/Into-West-Gabriel-Byrne/dp/6303066712
I just love Ireland.... we have been twice and just love it there.
Might be something about my last name... Fitzgerald.. or the fact that I am 3/4th Irish.. Wife is just over half.
That is beautiful. From your two links, I would deduce that you are of Irish ancestory.
Am told that I have Dutch, Irish and Scotish. Actually the majority is probably mutt.
There are no mutts - just new breeds.
I am Cherokee and Irish, Wife is German, Irish, and Cherokee.
Right. All God's children and God don't make no junk.
I've always just told everyone I'm Heinz 57 variety. ;)))
Exactly....and one of my most favorite flavors.
You all make me smile. :)
Actually I'm (ah-hem*) mostly French on fathers side. I'm Scots-Irish on moms side. Mom says she heard/thinks there was a great-great-great-great-etc Grandma on her side full blooded indian so I joke that my pinkie finger is native american. :)
DH is almost completely Scots-Irish.
Would LOVE to go visit over there. Friend on Dave's said she's been to Scotland and Ireland and received a more welcome greeting in Scotland than Ireland.
Disappointed to learn on DH's side his family changed their last name when moving over here....Americanizing it. Used to be Naughton. Considered going back when I found this out but sheesh it'd be a lot of work and I guess I should honor their choice since they sacrificed so much to make the name "work" for them over here. :)
the Irish gave up a lot of themselves to be here..
We loved Ireland - have thought about moving there, dont know much about how that would all work out. It is ummmm a colder feeling you get at first there but when they warm up to you it is a wonderful thing.
Mitch,
Are you of the Edward Fitzgerald line? We came across this guy doing our history, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_FitzGerald_(poet)

Interesting about their welcome wagon there!!!! I think I might be a might worried about visiting now! LOL!!! We had lofty dreams of resettling back to the homeland ourselves.
My ancestory is McNaughton.
I am nearly all Irish: McCormick, Ryan, Copeland, Haile. And I thought Tir Na Nog was probably Oriental or Middle Eastern! lol
so did I...
really? wow! sounded Irish to me. But one person thought my daughters name sounded Indian....the way it sounds, not spelling wise.
McNaughton...wonder how that ties to plain ol' Naughton?
Yes I sure am... I have the paper work that goes back to the 12th c. on the line and he is a distant cousin.
Oh cool!
Tir Na Nog - did you name her the whole name? What do you call her? I don't know what I would've thought the name's heritage was if I hadn't heard it pronounced by an Irish first. I can see Native American, tho - but the spelling would've given it away for me.
You have dmail. :)
WOW Mitch! I am flattered to have made your acquaintance. lol
Sylvia......you are a card....lol
How very true that is LouC.:)
lol...
Sylvia - not if you knew the rest of the family... ummmm my grandmothers side are ummmm... Ever watch the Beverly Hillbillies? Reminds me of them minus the money.
bwahahaha---I finally get it! :)
I think most families had some money prior to resettling here and shortly thereafter. We had relatives who owned close to 20,000 acres combined just outside what is now Chicago. All sold and gone of course. *sniffle*
I suspect my ancestors were chased out of Ireland or Scotland by the law. No papers to prove, just reasonable suspicion.:) We think they stayed in Tenn for awhile, then moved on to Miss and then to Tx.
lol silver.....My family on my mother's side (McCormick's) have alway said the same about the family settling in the mountains in Va. from Ireland. No proof either.....but stories have been handed down orally. :)
