Stewart tells growers to store the silage in fields where the cattle will be, with a temporary fence around it. Then when it's needed, remove the fence and let the cows eat their way through the stack. Even for corn harvested for silage, farmers should test the corn for nitrate. The nitrate level needs to be no higher than 5,000 ppm for pregnant cows or 10,000 ppm for any cattle. If you keep your houseplants indoors all summer, keep them out of the draft of the air conditioner, say experts with the University of Georgia Extension Service .
Plants react to an air conditioner's cool air in various ways.
Some drop their leaves. Others don't bloom well. And some fail to bloom altogether. To get the tender quality you want, harvest it when it's only 2 or 3 inches thick. After you water the vegetable garden, the soil should be moist 8 to 10 inches deep, say experts with the University of Georgia Extension Service .
