I wish I could let my cats out to have a field day with them critters but since the neighborhood is predominantly dogs it's best they stay indoors.<br /><br />These rats look like beanie babies.<br />Now if only my neighbor would clean up his property once a week instead of once every so many years than there wouldn't be much of a rat problem.Aloha2Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792079498460121909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650503468319492328.post-7374231736139973752010-02-23T12:45:55.246-08:002010-02-23T12:45:55.246-08:00Since you are in Hawaii, how do you deal with the ...Since you are in Hawaii, how do you deal with the rats getting into the compost?

I have a recycle trash bin for greens but I never use it, it all goes into my compost. I'll also have to wait about 1-2 years for my fruit.Aloha2Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792079498460121909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650503468319492328.post-14592566872570820642010-02-22T08:15:40.071-08:002010-02-22T08:15:40.071-08:00Great post, Aloha!

Composting is also a great way to just lessen the amount of crap we throw away in addition to helping the soil! <br /><br />You're so lucky your can grow pineapple.

Wha...Not a problem, there are no dumb questions. <br /><br />What you do is take the crown off the top of the pineapple fruit then peel down from the bottom up about an inch and a half of the crown leaves.<br /><br />From there you place it in water for about a week and a half to two weeks so that the roots can grow out. When the roots have finally grown out about a few inches it's time to transplant it in the ground. The fruit will begin to sprout out from the top of the crown that you have planted.<br /><br />The only thing about planting pineapples as a drawback is it takes about 1-2 years before you'll see the fruit full and ready to pick.Aloha2Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12792079498460121909noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650503468319492328.post-56127051235568076482010-02-19T00:38:42.243-08:002010-02-19T00:38:42.243-08:00okay Aloha, how do you grow a pineapple.
