Backyard Ideas

We are going from 1.5 acres to .75 acres, but now have a couple of great old live oaks. Will be looking for ideas to make the yard a showplace.

No more mosquito's!! Cut top (just before the start of the cone) off 2 liter bottle. Invert the cone and place it inside the straight part of the bottle. Glue the two pieces together, using a glue or silicon. Add 1 tsp yeast and 1/2 cup sugar to some luke warm water, and pour the mixture into the bottle. Mosquitoes are attracted to the carbon dioxide that you exhale. The yeast feeds off the sugar and emits the same gas, so the mosquito enters the bottle, thinking she will find food there.

Simple, the best ideas usually are.

Colorful idea...
