    My younger brother (who was a plant manager for a farm chemical firm) many years ago recommended using iron filings for helping yawns get greener and roses to get redder!

    I had an old German neighbor who used a gasoline rotatory mower and his lawn was always so very 'green' looking. I asked him what fertilizer he used and he replied; "None years ago I drove old railroad spikes into the lawn"!

    I'd hate to be the one who took a rototiller to re-due his lawn!

    This is one of the reasons I love this place - from starting with a straightforward question about DE blades we have ended up in the realms of metallurgy, gardening, and, um, whatever it is Hirlau may or may not allegedly need to advise a 'friend' on.


    It was in original condition, faded red, well-worn, but nice.
    This was and still is my favorite combination; beautiful, original, and worn.

    I put mine in a used shaving cream tub. It's nice because it's thick and has a threaded lid. Should take a few years to fill it up.
