Vinegar is Back
Just in time for monsoon season and the eruption of thistles! Thanks to the continuing efforts of Matt Pursley, ALPOA was able to once again find a source for vinegar. This vinegar is 20% industrial strength = 4x stronger than 5% household vinegar. Please consider diluting this vinegar 1:1 with water (1 gal vinegar: 1 gal H2O) and your end product @ 10% will still be 2x as strong as
what is available at retail.
“War of the Thistles”……. here is the thistle eradication recipe:
1/2 gal vinegar + 1/2 gal H2O = 1 gal finished solution
2 tbsp Dawn dishwashing liquid
1 cup Salt (plain or Epsom)
Please do not abuse the free vinegar program and limit yourself to 1 gallon per visit!
ALPOA Angels
In keeping with our mission of community outreach, ALPOA presents ALPOA Angels. These are volunteers who can help you around your house with items such as adding salt to a water softener, salting a driveway, and even changing light bulbs that require climbing on a ladder.
To qualify for this volunteer help, you must be:
• a member of ALPOA
• at least 65 years old or have a physical disability or illness that would prevent you from performing these tasks.
