Garden Nut:

This is just the sort of tip I'm eagerly searching for to include in
Rodale's 1001 Ingenious Gardening Ideas? May I use it--you get a free
copy of the book when it comes out next year. If so, drop me a line at
erin@pswtech.com. Please let me know your address, so the editors can
send you a draft of your tip to check over and the book when it comes
out. The editors also ask for your phone # in case they have questions,
but from what I hear they never call anyone.

Thanks
