Motor Oil good for Vegetable Garden?
I got my first copy of Gardening 101 magazine in the mail today. They had an article about using used motor oil (10w30) mixed with water on your vegetable garden to help with new growth. The recipe called for 1 part Oil to 4 parts water. Anyone tried this?
GardenersCardiff answers:
NO, water and oil don’t mix, plus you’ll be poluting the ground. In most areas that’s even illegal! You are kidding, right?

What do I do with this Publishers Clearing House Playing Card?
I opened up my “Better Homes and Gardens” magazine and out popped a fake playing card with the emblem from the “Publishers Clearing House 2010” on it. It’s the Ruby Red Queen of Hearts, if that helps at all. I don’t know what I’m to do with this and I found their website unhelpful. I would like a pretty clear answer about how I would use this card – or if it’s just trash.
It also says “You found it! Now enter at once!”
GardenersCardiff answers:
I would trash it. You don’t need a playing card to play on PCH. The whole site is around the fact that an x number of people will enter into a sweepstakes. Considering the card was in a magazine, your chances of winning are still crappy. Plus if you have to send it in that’s a whole envelope and stamp wasted on a stupid entry.
P.S. I like swagbucks myself – i get swagbucks for searching for things online and then I can redeem them for prizes. So far I have about 900 swagbucks, and it has only been a month or two.

How much does it cost to advertise in Magazines.?
I would like to find out ad rates for different magazines from Home and Garden to Playboy does any one know how to find out these rates.
GardenersCardiff answers:
Most magazines have their rates available on their website.
Go to www.playboy.com – scroll all the way down to the very bottom in the lower left corner – it says “advertise with playboy”. See online/magazine rate card.
For better homes and gardens, go to www.bhg.com – again at the bottom under BHG.com click on Better Homes and Gardens Media Kit
Good luck!
