LandscapExperts Tip of the Week, August 5

Painful insect bites and stings can be neutralized using meat tenderizer. It contains the enzyme papain, derived from the papaya. 

Moisten the sting or injured area and sprinkle on the granular tenderizing powder, (the plain variety works best). By the next day the sting hardly will be hardly noticeable. Keep a bottle of meat tenderizer in the  gardening bucket for quick and handy application when needed. .
