lemon rinds n lime scale
Yesterday I made lemonade. There is a kettle on the stove, I guess for making herbal tea or something. It was caked with hard water and I didnt want to use it. Who knows what was cooked in there and what that yucky stuff was and what it held. Well, I thought I'd put the lemon rinds in it and let them simmer and maybe the lemon scent would be nice in the apartment. I let it simmer till I went to bed, then turned it off. There didnt seem to be any lemony scent. In the morning I dumped the lemons and the water. What I saw inside the pot surprised me. The lime scale had almost completely disappeared! With a few more hours of simmering today, the inside of the pot is as shiny as when it was bought!!!! What's in a lemon peel that did that?

COOL! I have a few things I would like to try that on. They say lemon oil is a good cleanser
THAT'S AMAZING, and good to know. Oh the things we learn by accident. :-)
Hi all,
Lemon rinds are a green material that not only adds important nitrogen to the compost, but also contributes a fresher smell to the compost bin. Thanks a lot.....
