Hey Rhona, Nice finds. The Vinol and alot of bottles with names like that with ol andoli in the name{Nujoli, Nujol, ect} are just mineral oil. They gave it fancy names to help it sell better.

Hey Rhona,
Nice finds! I will try your tree method this weekend. How do you keep the poison ivy at bay?

Great finds there. It must be a lot of work digging around those roots.

I hate roots.
Especially the ones that go drip.....drip.....drip......drip....on your neck after you cut them.

I hate roots too, especially the ones that crawl back and start wraping around your leg and starts pulling you down[:-]

I don't have any problem with roots. I just whack them with a very sharp machetti or ax and pull them out.
