      @fabioladiazmier8289 Год назад +2

      I actually own this and you’re totally right, I buy eggs when i still have a couple left so it’s nice that it fits 14. Also, this fits my fridge perfectly so any longer wouldn’t have worked, so i do think Rachel’s fridge is deeper than others

  • @zannadunstrand6289
    @zannadunstrand6289 Год назад +13

    About your plant (the Palm especially) : it needs a bigger pot and less water (maybe a bit more often). The palm stores water in its trunk and can therefore easily get to much of it❤

  • @arcanepriest
    @arcanepriest Год назад +27

    Another thing that might help with the plants is watering them more at a time. Overwatering is less about how much water you give, and more about how often you water them. Even for my desert plants (lithops, cactus) I make sure they get thorougly saturated when they get watered. They just only get watered a few times a year. You're right about your big plant (It looks like a dracaena) needing lots of light, and that golden pothos (I think) on the counter being nearly indestructible.
    Anyway, thank you for another great video, and testing all these products so we don't have to!

    • @jenniferallen2234
      @jenniferallen2234 Год назад +1

      Yes! You need to take them out of their cute containers and water them until they are completely soaked, water draining through, plant pot feels heavy. If they sit in their decorative pots with stagnant water they will get root rot but also only part watering the soil is bad for them too. I have 40 plants in the house and watering and feeding day take me well over an hour but totally worth it!!

    The egg container is great because it has a flat cover so you can put things on top of it without worrying about breaking eggs. There’s also 14 slots instead of 12 to gives you space to put new eggs before you run out. Something I really like to use in the fridge is a lazy susan so I don’t have to take a bunch of stuff out of the fridge just to get to the stuff in the back.

  • @kristencavallari5490

    I have that 14-egg holder and I love it. I buy a new dozen eggs when I only have two eggs left (which I move to the front to be used first), and then I never have to have two egg cartons in the fridge. I like that it's clear and I can easily see how many eggs remain, because the eggs I buy come in opaque packaging.

    • @DisastertoOCD

      I was coming to say something similar for why it is a 14 egg holder. They also make an 18-ish egg holder if you want a bigger one. We are a family of 5 and we keep 2 14-egg holders in our fridge.

    KEY IDENTIFIERS: An easy and fun way to do this is to use nail polish to color code keys. Paint or dip them. To make the color last, prep with sandpaper first and then wipe with nail polish remover to clean off residue and oils. Top with a clear coat or sealant. Nail wraps are even an option.

    • @SurelySarahElizabeth
      @SurelySarahElizabeth Год назад +3

      YES! I used to be a teacher, and I was handed several keys to various doors, closets, cabinets, etc. when I first started. I needed a way to identify which was which, so I used nail polish and it was quite easy to remove once I changed classrooms. Definitely recommend!!

    Your plants may need to be repotted which is a pain but it works. They get “root bound”. Also, the more tropical plants need to go outside in the Summer when the low temp is around 70 degrees. I always put my ficus outside, my aloe and succulents.

    Anybody who does inventory ordering knows… the 14 is because you repurchase before you’re out, but you don’t want to buy when you have too much left, so you buy when you’re down to two - so the holder holds a dozen plus the two!

    I need to clean out my frig too. The only problem I’ve found with having bins in your frig is that they take up so much room that can be taken up by food items. Especially if you have a big family and you need the extra space for food items. I can see having one or two for loose items but if it’s something that can stand up on it’s own then a bid just takes up valuable space. Besides, I don’t care if my frig looks pretty on the inside. It’s for food and it won’t stay pretty for long with kids in the house. Just maintaining some kind of order is the best thing to do😉 But to each his own🤷🏼‍♀️

    My SIL swears by the dissolvable labels. She makes jams and salsas every year and they’re way more convenient because she doesn’t have to scrape the jars before reusing them.
    As for the MG plant spikes, they’ve been around for over 35 years. The original patent for fertilizer in a spike is from 1972. (Yes, I went down a rabbit hole.) I remember using the Miracle Gro ones in our house plants before Mom moved to South Africa to get remarried and that was in 1987. They work great. I think they even make them in different formulas for different plant types.
    Another trick is to put your used coffee grounds in your planters. I learned that trick from one of our former CBS affiliate’s meteorologists who’s also a master gardener.

    Can I recommend a Lazy Susan in the fridge? They're really great for condiments and leftovers when you don't want to stack stuff behind other stuff for fear of accidental science experiments. You should also Gadget Test Souper Cubes if you haven't already. They come in tons of sizes and they're great for freezing left overs or batch cooking... one way that Christopher might love is if he wants to make infused butters. They have a small one specifically for infused butters/bullions/etc.

    Storing eggs is best to do in a rectangular a bit higher box. I find that those egg boxes where you put each egg separately take away so much fridge storage. I have a plastic box, that exactly fits with to to my fridge shelf. I just stack all my eggs to that vertical box, and it saves half of the shelf space.

    I use the nail polish key trick. I take it a step further and try and coordinate colors with the words ex bottom lock is blue, mailbox is maroon, Sally’s house is silver. I also recommend using your favorite color(s) (mine is purple) on the most-used key. You can also use the same base color for different locations (front door green, side door pink, etc) and add sparkles overtop on the first lock for each. It’s all about figuring out how your brain will remember. And don’t splurge on fancy polishes here. Dollar tree base colors, sparkles, and top coats all the way!

Also try picking it up and shaking it around while pulling so you get an even chop. I SWEAR by mine, you should try it again! I use the EPARE Mini Vegetable Chopper!

    I don't know if it's a thing in Canada but, in the US, there are things called "novelty key blanks" or "fashion key blanks" which you can get cut into almost any key! In *the before times*, I was a dog walker. So, I had keys to multiple houses. I didn't want to put people's names or addresses on the keys, for safety, so each key got a different design! It made it very easy to tell the difference between the hot pink key and the navy blue key, ya know? 😄And, if you can find coloured aluminium blanks, they're light weight as well!

    We have another type of chopper and it’s actually really good, I’m pretty sure it’s because of the blade we have a different one and it chops the onions and the green peppers really small and perfect.😊

    There’s 14 egg slots because people usually go buy eggs when they are running low. Hence a new dozen plus two left from the last batch.

    I wonder if your large plant may need a larger pot? It may be pot bound. Miracle Grow is a great product.

    For the keys, you can just use paint or fingernail polish to paint the key and associate the color with the function.
