A single strand of monofilament fish line strung across a deer path creates an invisible force that can confuse the creatures enough to detour them around your garden.
Plant choices.
Mildew generally appears in two forms, a spore type, which resembles caviar in appearance, or mycelium or filament type. Mildew generally appears as an unsightly discoloration on a coating, thereby making the appearance unacceptable.
Cut another piece of monofilament about 3 inches longer than your longest chime. Feed half of the wire through the center hole of the smaller wood plaque-it will serve as the wind chime's clapper.
The eggs are elliptical (0.3 mm long and 0.17 mm wide) and bright orange-yellow, but may appear duller because of the waxy filaments covering them.
Each flower is spider-shaped and fully 4 inches in diameter with a crew cut of white filaments in the center. The dimensions of this red-flowering species equal P. x alatocaerulea as far as space-covering ability is concerned.
Did you know that bamboo was used as the first commercial filament in light bulbs? In 1878, Thomas Edison was camping in Wyoming when someone accidentally knocked a bamboo fishing pole into a campfire. He noticed its resistance to burning.
The pest: A soft-scale insect covered with white cottony filaments. Present outdoors throughout the South and in greenhouses throughout the United States. The immature stage is a translucent nymph. There may be several generations per season.
Each stamen is composed of a thin stalk, called a filament, and a saclike anther, where meiosis occurs to form microspores that develop into pollen grains. Each pollen grain produces two cells surrounded by a though outer wall.
Algicides, sold for pond use, control both green water-discolouring algae and filamentous growths.
Incandescent bulbs (the most common type used in the home) pass electricity through a fine filament (usually tungsten). The filament heats up, glows, and gives off heat. These bulbs are cheap and work with universal sockets.

Fungi are primitive plants that can be either single celled or many celled and filamentous. They lack a photosynthetic pigment.
Their filaments increase root hairs and provide nutrients to the plant. They give out zinc, copper, potassium and phosphorus. Plants provide carbohydrates for the fungi in return.
hypha (plural: hyphae). One of the filaments forming the body, or mycelium, of a fungus.
