Tips
Clogged Sprinkler.Sprinkler heads get clogged frequently with bugs, usually earwigs (in California). To stop this, use pantyhose, cut off a piece large enough to be able to cover the antisiphon valve (the part that unscrews that has the rubber stop in it), tie it with a rubber band or piece of string, and voila no more clogs. Bugs get in through this valve because it is open at the bottom to allow air to get in, not through the sprinkler head.

Recipe
How to make your own brown sugar
1 cup granulated sugar, add 2 Tablespoons molasses.

Stir together until evenly mixed with a fork. After trying it once, vary it by using 1 Tablespoon molasses, using the dark molasses or the light molasses. We prefer 1 cup sugar to 1 Tablespoon light molasses, but I have made all the other variations. I make a double batch every time.
