Colloidal oatmeal usually is added to warm bathwater. The oats do not sink to the bottom, because of the colloid action of the particles, which disperse throughout the water. This helps it to coat the user's skin and makes it more effective as a treatment for skin conditions than other forms of oats.eople who use colloidal oatmeal say that it is especially effective at treating skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, chicken pox and acne. The pain of sunburns, bug bites, poison ivy and other rashes may also be relieved using this home remedy.
To prepare the planting hole for a bareroot peony, dig the soil to a depth of 12-18. Use a garden fork to loosen the sides of the planting hole as well. Add a shovelful of compost and a handful of an all-purpose, organic, granular fertilizer, to the bottom of the hole and then add a shovelful of the original soil.
You are removing the soil from the hole and adding compost and/or bonemeal to it. You then put most of the soil back into the hole and plant the peony on top of the mound (about 2 inches below the soil surface). Then fill in with the rest of the soil around the peony and cover the tuber.he best time to transplant peonies is in the early fall, when the plants are becoming dormant. If you do transplant them this year, they will not bloom the following spring; unfortunately, it will take up to 2 to 3 years for the plants to recover before blooming in their new spot.
