So…what did your wife reply to your question? At my house that would have the start of a lousy evening.
I sanitize my RV water system with bleach every year and drain it on the lawn, never seen any effect on the grass. I also wash down the house siding with a mix of bleach and dish soap and the bird bath with full strength bleach and never see any negative effects on the plant life. I have long time personal experience with the use of bleach or I wouldn't have recommended it.
At the age of 40, you might have waited too long for a some what healthy intervention. Prayers, I wish the best for y'all, not an easy situation for sure.
And.......for many years I have used bleach to spot KILL weeds that come up through my white shell driveway.
What strength do you use? And how much? Apply to the leaves or around it to get the roots?
I use straight 5% bleach, applied to the leaves, but growth is very early/small, so probably some gets to roots as well.
She thanked me for helping get her out. I think she realized it all ended well. Could have been real bad. After I had the horse out of the mud and on the bank I had to toss the rope to my wife and tug on it to get her out of the mud. I think she realized if I had not been home things could have gotten catastrophic.
Fred...it's not highly constrated with bleach when he disinfects the fresh water tank.
^^^^^^
Here is another one I have, this is my primary hunting blind. It's mounted on an old boat trailer(portable) because in its previous use of hunting at leases and family farm land. Parked permanently on my own place now, no more family drama of hunting at the family farm or at the leases to deal with.

Oh.... I did not understand that the bleach was water diluted.
In this neck of the woods, you might need 10 times that amount of bleach to get rid of the iron in the water and it would only last but a few months. At my old house, I had filters on the water line, and after 3 months they were so clogged with iron bacteria that it was like chocolate pudding. Luckily even though the old house and the new one are only about 1/4 mile apart, the new house well doesn't have the same iron problems that the old one did. Whenever we were going to be gone for a couple of weeks, I would put 2 or 3 cups of swimming pool chlorine powder down the well and recirculate it through the garden hose back into the well. When we came back, I would open the hose bibs and let it run for a few hours until the water didn't smell like Clorox. We used bottled water until all the chlorine was out of the water. For this house, it only took one treatment like the above to clean and disinfect the well when it was drilled. The house sat empty for a year during construction, so the well had plenty of time to clean itself of the chlorine. What most people don't realize is that the water in the drilled well is constantly flowing through the fissures in the rock. The chlorine oxidizes the iron in the water inside the well casing.
Very nice. Where is the new property? I was up there last week and the drive between Alabaster and Columbiana had a lot of great looking land.
I sitting here thinking, why didn't I put the damn forestry door on this yet.
I would like to seen the video or pictures of that!
Just south of Clanton. Prattville is closer than Alabaster, but not by much, and still have to back-track a bit to go south. Going for the home inspection tomorrow to see if there's any deal breakers. As long as there's no termites or crazy electrical problems inside the house, I don't see a problem. I'd like for the seller to at least clean the pool up, but I'm not going to let that be the end of the sale. Just gotta find out how hard he wants to play ball. He came 30 off list, but IMO it needed to be a little more. A lot of cleaning could have been done for that asking price, and yet NONE was done. FIRST thing that's gotta happen is cutting the grass. It's VERY thick and tall already, and I don't want it to get away from me. Gonna have to get a finish mower behind the LX ASAP.
Congrats Paint. Look forward to reading some more of your endeavors at the new place. Enjoy it.
Finally got 1" rain yesterday in Utopia from the tropical depression. First rain in 30 days, grass doesn't go crunch when walked on. That will change by noon today.
