Does anyone know what pH range Raspberry Tart Viburnums need in order to thrive and produce lots of berries? My soil is neutral to slightly acidic at about 6.3 - 6.5 pH. |

That pH level is desirable for the greatest range of plants - you should be fine. To get good berry production, you need to plant another variety for cross pollination. I'd suggest 'Blue Muffin' or any other arrowwood (V. dentatum) |

i think of V as 'run them over with the truck' plants.. may i suggest you are way over-thinking it all if you are worried about pH ... and i doubt highly.. that pH has a big impact on berry production ... water , light and soil being much more important.. with your rather benign soil pH ... as gal suggested ... i would remove pH concerns from your worries about just about anything.. short of the ultimate pH hounds.. like blueberry or something. ... ken |

I didn't realize pH levels were so overrated. Why do extension offices suggest homeowners have their soil tested before planting trees and shrubs? Is it just a way for those offices to make money, kind of like an auto mechanic telling you that you need new brakes when you really don't? |

A soil test tells more than pH. The pH portion of the test will help in dealing with most plants, to a degree, but it is most helpful when dealing with extremes...either extremes in your soil's pH or if you want to plant something that prefers an extreme (like blueberries). tj |

one doenst amend mother earth.. before knowing what to do ... of what benefit to her .. or to you.. had you just went out there willy nilly.. and just started throwing amendments around.. eh???? now that you know you are mid range-fine.. just forget about it ... BTW.. most ext office.. are pretty familiar with their county.. and can tell you off hand.. if the test need be done ... they usually have a pretty good grip on the area ... and do keep in mind.. there business is agriculture.. more than the backyard gardener ... if .. like many in lenawee county MI ... if you are growing 1000 acres of soybean ... you better have a pretty good grip on your soil .. if you want to make a profit ... the science of soil management.. isnt really tied up in viburnum .. lol .. for most of us.. its a curiosity.. rather than a requisite ... unless.. as i said.. you are really out there in plant selection ... ken ps: throwing stuff around the yard.. willy nilly is.. frankly.. pollution of mother earth.. it is kind of within the definition of such.. if she doesnt need it ... i was once told at MGardener class.. that per square foot of garden.. homeowners are the #1 polluters on the face of the earth ... whether i believe that or not.. is one thing.. but i can believe it.. on the common suburban lawn.. weed killers.. bug killers.. pH adjustors.. flying bug sprays.. i mean really.. dig a hole.. plant the darn thing.. and water it.. and 99% of the time.. they thrive.. especially if you grow weeds.. lol ... may i step off the soapbox now????? |

Yes, please get off your soapbox. :-) lol But thanks for the information I really do appreciate it. I wonder how many times I've wasted my money on buying Miracle Grow Garden Soil to "ammend" the soil already there when I didn't really need to? lol |

pH. Unless you are in an extreme zone with pH at the edge of the scale for plants, it IS way overrated. I have planted 100s of trees and shrubs ranging from Hellebores, Forsythias, Philadelphus on the sweet side, to Magnolia, Picea, and High Bush Blueberries on the acidic side. All have succeeded without soil amendments. The soil here is generally acidic, but not to the point of ridiculousness, and that is the case most places in this country I suspect. One reason County Agents ask about pH is to remove any doubt. I bet just about all the people who get their soil tested are told it is withing the normal range. Just like your doctor might ask for a blood sugar test to eliminate questions he might have, I suspect most of those people are told their level is within the normal range. So I have to agree that if you have a range of plants, different genera, different species, growing naturally in the area, you probably can grow just about any plant bought in a commercial nursery. And I know, things like Pin Oaks in calcareous soils are one example of non-compatibility. In my mind, it proves the exception rather than the rule, because most Oaks are not that fussy. |

"It's a six-step program," he says. "One, we're on time. Two, we use our time wisely. Three, we trust and respect our parents and teachers. Four, we trust and respect our teammates and friends -- and to me, every class is a team. Five, we trust and respect ourselves. And six, we get better here."
Principal Shean says Cyphers is as good an exemplar of this last dictate as any at Holy Family. "You hear about synergy a lot, and with Steve coming into our middle school, I've really been able to see in action how powerful that can be. He's got this dynamic energy and such a positive attitude. He's really created his own whirlwind with the middle school, and everyone is so upbeat about the possibilities."
He's also brought along a ringer from the family. Pete Cyphers is a former Grand Junction High School football standout who was serving as assistant quarterbacks coach at nearby Mesa State College when his big brother hooked up with Holy Family. Before long, Pete had become an adjunct to the Holy Family faculty. When he's not schooling QBs at Mesa, he's teaching physical education to students in kindergarten through fifth grade and assisting Steve in his coaching duties.
Pete's support is much appreciated, since Holy Family, with a student body of just 341 (and fewer than 100 students at the middle-school level), is competing against much bigger public schools. "They have the A team, the B team and the C team," Shean says. "We have one team. We're all in it together."
Steve may not be a member of this group forever; he hasn't rejected the possibility of coaching one day at an area high school. But in the broader sense, he has no intention of going very far, no matter how much money he could make if he went back to quizzing sports immortals on ESPN.
"After CU played CSU this year, a good friend who lives in Seattle called me," Cyphers allows. "He said, 'This is the first day of all those college games you used to cover, and I was kind of worried about how you were doing. I thought you might be struggling.' And I said, 'I just watched CSU beat CU on TV, then I went and fed Dad's cows, I got the lawn mowed, and now I'm watching Pete's team play Western Oregon -- and Carolyn and the kids are right here. What am I struggling with?'"

FOXBORO — These were the types of afternoons the Patriots and their fans were envisioning when Kenbrell Thompkins was ripping up practices back in August.
An undrafted receiver out of Cincinnati, Thompkins was a come-out-of-nowhere revelation as the Pats sweated through their summer workouts. He not only became a lock to make the team but emerged as a favorite target of Tom Brady.
But then the real games began and, not surprisingly, Thompkins wasn't an instant star. In his first two games as a pro, Thompkins was targeted 21 times by Brady but caught just six passes. That 28.6 percent rate was the worst of any NFL receiver.
Sunday's game against Tampa Bay ended up serving as the breakthrough outing Thompkins has waited for. With the running game on track (156 yards) and veteran Julian Edelman and fellow rookie wide out Aaron Dobson being productive with seven catches each, Thompkins could pick his spots. Despite being chased around for long stretches by All-Pro Darrelle Revis, Thompkins caught two touchdown passes and did his best to hide a wide smile in the locker room afterward.
"From watching film and everything, we knew it was going to be a split safety team and a zone team so we preached all week in practice to get open and run great routes," Thompkins said. "We had to get the timing down with [Brady]. Overall, I thought it was a good day for the team."
Thompkins becomes the first Patriots rookie wide receiver with at least two receiving touchdowns since Clarence Weathers on Nov. 6, 1983 against the Bills. Tight ends Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez each had two games with two TDs in their rookie season of 2010. It was the type of effort Brady says he's been waiting for his young receiving corps.
"They're doing a great job," Brady said. "They've worked really hard to understand what we're trying to do on a weekly basis. It changes up a lot with our offense. It's not like we do the same thing week to week. We try to attack teams in different ways."
Thompkins' first career NFL score came at the end of the Patriots' first good drive of the game. After three possessions during which they struggled, the Pats mixed some nice Stevan Ridley (11 carries, 35 yards in the game) runs with passes to Dobson and Edelman. Then Brady found Thompkins across the middle and he did the rest of the work with a 16-yard run-and-catch for a TD.
Later in the second quarter, Brady threw deep down a sideline to Dobson, where he was pushed for interference by Johnthan Banks. That set the Patriots up at Tampa's 17-yard line. A few plays later, Brady hit Thompkins for a 5-yard TD.
"That's a play that we work on every day in practice," Thompkins said. "To go out there, for me to get open and to have Tom trust me to throw me the ball felt good."
Thompkins finished with three catches on seven targets. Dobson was more effective, catching seven balls on 10 targets. Brady finished 25-for-36 for 225 yards.
In the 10 days since a 13-10 win over the New York Jets, both Thompkins and Dobson had to hear the sometimes withering criticism from fans about their shoddy play in the passing game. They say they are only focused on improving as much as possible.
"You can't think about it," Dobson said of the talk. "You have to go out there and just have fun. We've been playing this game since we were little kids, so you just have to go out there and not even think about it. You have to ignore what everyone else is saying and stay inside the locker room as a group and just go out there and perform."

Rail advocates hope for last-minute save in Kirkland
Those who want to save an Eastside rail corridor are running short of time.
While Kirkland may start tearing out the tracks in its portion of the corridor in a matter of weeks, a group calling itself the Eastside Trailway Alliance is fighting on. More than 30 people - including some supporting Kirkland - attended the alliance's second call-to-arms meeting at a posh Woodinville winery recently. Pinot gris, merlot and an assortment of cheeses provided a mellow counterpoint to the tenor of the hardening debate.
The cities of Woodinville and Snohomish and several other parties have signed onto the ad hoc coalition's manifesto, which calls for "joint rail and trail development" and a moratorium on track removal. Kirkland intends to put in an interim bike-pedestrian trail on its existing 5.75 miles of railbed, and then begin planning a permanent trail and possible reinstatement of rails on the right-of-way.
Kirkland officials met in November and December with Doug Engle, managing director of Eastside Community Rail, which runs a freight operation at the north end of the 42-mile corridor and is looking to expand its traffic through Kirkland to Bellevue, where pending development projects promise plenty of construction debris in need of removal. Those meetings resulted in an impasse, shifting the standoff into a more public sphere.
"We made no bones about it, going into the discussions, that the corridor could be reactivated," Engle told Crosscut. Reactivation would involve a federal regulatory board, acting on a petition, authorizing a freight operator to take over an inactive line to reach new customers.
The implied threat of bringing in the feds failed to move Kirkland.
The rail advocates' arguments focus on the Bellevue construction spoils, such as dug-up dirt and rock, concrete and wood.The material could include the debris from a light-rail tunnel planned by Sound Transit. Transporting the debris by rail would generate fewer exhaust emissions than trucks hauling out the same debris on I-405.
The idea is not without precedent. In the mid-2000s, contractor RCI/Herzog built the Chief Sealth Trail, the Seattle city website reports, "as a method of recycling excavated soils and concrete from the Link Light Rail project along MLK [Boulevard]. The City welcomed this innovative construction approach as it resulted in a major savings of taxpayer dollars."
Engle told the Woodinville attendees that his firm could remove spoils for 15 percent less than trucks would cost in the case of the light-rail tunnel. His trains would take the detritus up the line through Kirkland and deposit some of it there to create or improve a trackside trail at much reduced cost to that city, which has projected spending over $100 million on its version of the trail project. An existing access road alongside part of the Kirkland track would provide a starting point for the trail Engle foresees.
In an early February interview, Bruce Nurse, vice president of Bellevue's Kemper Development, termed Engle's idea "something that would interest us."
Rail activist Will Knedlik told the Woodinville gathering that when he took the idea to the Bellevue City Council in early February, two members spoke up favorably. In an interview, long-time council member Don Davidson termed the idea "intriguing" but said it needed closer vetting.
"It keeps a lot of trucks off the freeway," said Davidson, a former Bellevue mayor. About Kirkland's plans, he said, "Once you pull up the rails it's going to be hard to put them back down. Kirkland could probably put a trail through there without pulling up the rails."
Jack Miller, general manager of Woodinville's Bobby Wolford Demolition and Trucking, which Engle has approached as a partner in the spoils-removal idea, picked up where Davidson left off. While he might make more money removing the spoils entirely by truck, Miller said that "there'd definitely be savings in using the rail. And less traffic impacts, too." He added that the rails could also bring backhauls of aggregate into Bellevue for construction projects, generating efficiencies in both directions.

You can have a trail OR rail. Not both, without spending a lot of money on widening the beds, overpasses, underpasses, crossings, etc.
Lots of complications including wetlands and safety issues.
Posted Thu, Mar 7, 7:41 p.m.
Kirkland knows exactly what it is doing.
The outcome of this will define future regional planning issues, you can be sure of that.
Posted Fri, Mar 8, 12:24 a.m.
Really sad to see this kind of energy efficient infrastructure thrown away so casually. By the time sanity prevails again, and the foolishness of tearing up the rails becomes apparent, there may no longer be the wherewithal to put them back again.
We've got cheap oil now and not only are we doing next to nothing to prepare for when we don't, we're actually doing crazy stuff like this, tearing out one of the few railroads we have left. Ahh, the future....it ain't gonna be anything like the way we thought it was supposed to be. No jetpacks, no vacations to the moons of Saturn.
And no, a bike trail on the rail bed doesn't qualify as preparedness. There will be no lack of roads with little traffic on them when gasoline is the equivalent of $20 a gallon in today's money. At least until they all crumble away.
Posted Fri, Mar 8, 11:15 a.m.
The current rails are not usable for light rail and would have to be torn up anyway. Might as well put in a bike trail for now, because any plan for light rail or other transit is a long way away. Putting in a trail now won't preclude action later.
Posted Fri, Mar 8, 1:27 p.m.
Kirkland knows full well that if they remove the tracks, that this will never come back as a rail corridor.
There is no reason that this track can't be used right now for the freight purposes Doug Engle states.
If you have a railroad engineering background, or have access to what is, and isn't possible on this rail line, it would help with your argument.
Posted Mon, Mar 11, 12:01 p.m.
After the research article this weekend on earthquake preparedness in WA and OR, and a research paper released on 11,300 years of climate change, having the rail as a backup method of moving goods in an emergency may be far more critical than people think. Fuel, water, food and supplies will be badly needed within two weeks.
Hard to imagine removing 5.75 miles of track, when they could simply be covered with gravel for an interim trail.

I've also posted this on the plumbing forum, but this one seems to be more active.
We have a freestanding tub that does not have an overflow -- as is true of a lot of freestanding tubs these days. Our plumber, however, is unsure about what drain to use to install it. Has anyone here installed such a tub? If so, any advice? Installation instructions are of little help. Internet searches turn up references to "straight shoes" and "straight drains." Some also say that this sort of installation requires access from below -- which would be possible if necessary. Finally, I'm wondering if the best option would be using a stopper instead of a lift-and-turn or toe kick drain, because that would make it easier to clean the drain if need be. We will be using the tub primarily for soaking after a long day of gardening -- or for just when a long soak would feel good -- so it won't be used everyday. Thanks in advance. |

I was moving a few perinneals a to new spots in the garden today, and with all that digging I came across three huge cicada nymphs. My kids were very impressed by the big juicy fellas, so we did some googling to show them the cicada life cycle, and we learned that this year will be a once-in-13-year event: the emergence of millions of periodic cicadas after spending more than a decade underground.

I am sick of repression, especially where sexuality is concerned.
I first went through a phase where I associated my desire for love with desire for sex, and as of such, used sex to attempt to get what I wanted, which was love. My sexuality was then forced, because without it I had nothing.
Then I went through a phase where the simple idea of physical intimacy made me uneasy, nauseous even. People approaching me in that manner disgusted me. I wanted to hide from them, to protect myself. Repression of the body to protect the soul.
"love, a few people I know always tell me you look so upset all the time, is everything alright? are you sad?"
no, but I am not happy either. and I am not concerned with happiness either way - only with being interesting. times with you are my leisurely escapes to far-off places : you are my istanbul, my tokyo, my mercury, my saturn. darling adonis, you are my dreams, the sleep which frees me, quietly, from my persona.
Comme si tu t'appliques avec une méticulosité sadique et probablement inconsciente, quoique, à gratter les croûtes et à rouvrir, une à une, des milliers de petites cicatrices en moi.
Vices, I am yours again. You are my glittering backness in the gloom. My shining darkness, my shimmering ghost.
I love these moments of intense reality. I could surround the world and feed it with love if I only knew how.
it is withering, i keep trying. stay, stay, i sigh, hold me longer, make me live, i cry. the only constant remaining is the road to awe. and maybe cigarettes.
va dormir, oublie, laisse le sommeil te liberer pour un peu de tes demons.
he just called me, crying, saying he'd never leave, telling me not to be afraid. telling me he was done feeling nothing all the time. but you should have seen his eyes earlier, like the spark had died behind them. i don't know anymore.
tu vis dans un caveau, la tête pleine d'eau, absence de soucis, lobotomie.
i've been feeling better lately
i haven't smoked in a week-ish and i've been eating enough (though i haven't been eating as healthy as i would like) and sleeping enough, so... and i've been sober for 8 days (which sounds pathetic but is pretty good for me)
and school finishes soon, so that'll be one less thing to give me stress in my life
and i was having problems at work (we got robbed and it was partially my fault) but they found the culprit so it's all good
things are going well with the boyfriend
s000oooo, tell me one thing that's going well in your lives guys :D
it was agony to understand his beauty in a single glance. he whispered that he needed me, always, and i cried. i'd kill for that sentence to be true.
maybe for once, it was. i am blessed.
i'm dreaming of the land of decay, let's pack our things and run away. crumbling together, my ninth life is running short.
as you bind me up in ropes, i wonder, "will you need me, (always), the way you do now?"
has there been no meaning? i remember your drunk, (sorry) ass, how i fucked you. you didn't care so neither did i. it hurt so i made you hurt, i covered your mouth with cotton. you hurt so much and i liked it. revenge for making me feel weak, a small consolation (prize) from the universe for my uselessness and stupidity. but it felt (good) for once so i took it, selfish as always.
i know ways to cut you so you'll never heal, i am shy and self-destructive, and i will bring you down with me. sometimes words get stuck in my throat, butterflies in a net. pin me down with needles, turn me into specimen. don't touch it, drop that - it's dead, diagnosed. a ghost, smoke, carbon memories burning my lungs. we are waking ashes, leftovers of was was once alight. i have burned out.
ask me any question as a comment and i will answer honestly. absolutely anything. go.
my body is covered with bites and bruises, my bed reeks of cum and beer.
what could be more perfect?
(most of my french journals are letters to the ones i love, which i feel relevant to post here. i know this is not a francophone website - however, i use oasis in a documentary fashion, to see myself change as an individual, rather than a social outlet. while response is appreciated, it isn't my main goal. my goal is not, also, to seem more intelligent or sophisticated than i am because i speak another language, by the way - i despise pseudo-intellectuals.)
Mon cher,
i have lost track of my goal and it has made me weak. i have been stuffing myself like a pig. i am disgusting.

The Hume Highway Woomargama Alliance (HHWA) was recently awarded the 2010 International Erosion Control Association (IECA) award for Environment Achievement at the Environmental Connection (EC11) Conference in Florida, USA.
The Alliance, which consists of Abigroup, SKM and the NSW Roads & Traffic Authority, are building a 9km dual carriageway bypass to the west of Woomargama village.
The Environmental Achievement Award is IECA's premier award and recognises an outstanding erosion and/or sediment control project, program or system that demonstrates excellence in natural resource conservation and environmental protection.
Courtney Hoops, Alliance Manager (Abigroup) and Jonas Ball, Sustainability Manager (SKM) accepted the award at the presentation ceremony.
Courtney said, "We're particularly excited to be recognised by the IECA for the environmental management on our project.
"Our project team has been remarkable in its strong desire to innovate, and their commitment to deliver truly outstanding environmental outcomes has seen erosion and sediment control measures widely commended – even in the face of close-to record breaking rainfall.
"Winning an award of this calibre, in an area of our work that is of critical importance to us and our businesses, is something we're all very proud of."
The International Erosion Control Association (IECA) is the leading international organisation for erosion and sediment control professionals and represents 3000 members in 52 countries.
Over the years, more than 50 projects, individuals and organisations have been recognised from 13 countries for their contributions to the advancement of the erosion and sediment control profession through these awards.
This is only the second time the award has been awarded to an Australian entrant. The EC11 conference was attended by over 2000 people from over 20 countries.

A friend of mine put stained glass on a patio glass top table, she used E6000 for the glue but when it dried it cracked a lot of the glass pieces. What other glue can you use that would not crack the glass. I know you girls will come up with the answer. The table was beautiful but it is very upsetting that the glass cracked, she is going to try and lift the cracked pieces so it is not ruined. Thanks in advance you girls always come through Bevinpa |

I have never heard of that happening. Did it happen as soon as the glue dried or after a time? Is it outside or in? Normally for outside only silicone or thinset are acceptable. Some people swear by Mac glue outdoors as well but I personally wouldnt do it. and thinset isnt transparent. Some more information about what happened would be helpful. |
It cracked once it dried and the drier it got the more it cracked |
It sounds as if the glue may have dried too fast. I have used Mac glue and NEVER had any problem. becky_ia |
- Posted by wackyweeder (My Page) on Sun, Feb 13, 11 at 1:41
I am totally stumped by this. Even if it dried fast I cant see that breaking the glass. The only thing I can think of is if the glass wasnt totally flat, like it had a wavy texture to it and as the glue dried it stressed the stained glass, kind of pulling on it, and cracked it. Again, I know lots of people say they use mac outside. Im not one of em. So theres the choices-silicone, thinset, possibly Mac. for outside thats about all the options are. |

There has been lots of news lately about the demand for locally grown meat and the growing suppply being raised on family farms. Of more interest, however, is the lack of USDA inspected processing facilities. In fact, we do not currently have one in the state of Connecticut. There are many smaller, non-inspected facilities, but if a farmer uses one of these then the sales of meat products are restricted to "bulk" (usually a % of the animal). In order to sell meat by the pound at local farmers' markets or at a farm stand located on the farm itself, the meat must be inspected, packaged, and labelled under the oversight of the USDA.
This effectively eliminates the local processing of farm raised meats in CT. Luckily, we are able to bring our animals to Adam's Farm (www.adamsfarm.biz) in Athol, MA. Despite the distance from our farm in Eastern Connecticut, we are happy to be able to bring our animals to a processor that not only works under the guidance of the USDA, but which uses a humane system of animal holding, transport, and slaughter designed and engineered by Dr. Temple Grandin (www.grandin.com).
No doubt you have heard of Temple Grandin due to the recent success and accolaids of the biographical film produced by HBO. (www.hbo.com/movies/templegrandin/index.html).
If you have a chance to watch this film you will learn much about the way that your meat used to be processed (or still may be if you are not buying from a humane farm and processor) as well as about the humane practices currently being used throughout the country by most small scale producers that were innovated by Dr. Grandin.
It is not only important to know how your food is raised, but be sure to know how your food is processed during the many steps it takes to go from "farm to table."

fessional schools with special emphasis on management education because knowledge in this sector can significantly accelerate application and learning in the "real" world of business and markets. Without this link, certainly industry will adapt much more slowly, particularly compared with its international competition that is under pressure from the same set of changing conditions. At a minimum, infuse fundamental concepts of sustainability—green chemistry, industrial ecology, earth systems science, ecology, biogeochemistry, and sustainable business innovation—into core curricula as appropriate.
Develop and promote educational materials (e.g. lab modules, LCA modules, new text books that infuse sustainability and green chemistry concepts into the core material). There is a need for new educational materials and incentives that support those who are pioneering or are interested in change, and incentives that encourage faculty to incorporate sustainability into their coursework. Incentives to promote adoption include resources to encourage development of new educational materials such as the National Science Foundation (NSF) Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement (CCLI) program.
Include sustainability concepts as part of standardized testing programs. Changes are needed in the direction of accreditation and certification programs such as those developed by the ACS Committee on Professional Training or ABET, and the inclusion of this subject matter on standardized exams such as ACS subject exams.
Develop effective life cycle assessment (LCA) tools and inventory information. LCA would be of considerable benefit to students in chemistry and engineering from the undergraduate to graduate level. In each venue, an appropriate treatment should address the process of life cycle analysis, the influence of the inventory data on the analysis results, the interpretation of the results and how results will be used. LCA is also a powerful teaching tool in business education. If business students have never heard of LCA (and other sustainability approaches and tools), their understanding of how these issues integrate into corporate strategic decisions will be limited.
Provide professional development opportunities for faculty. Educators need to learn about sustainability and how it can be advantageously incorporated into their research and education. Opportunities to align faculty research and education objectives such as the NSF Faculty Early Career Development—CAREER—program can be a powerful motivator for young faculty to pursue activities that will promote a more sustainable

What is a Myotonic Goat?
A Myotonic Goat has a condition known as myotonia congenita. Myotonia is a neuromuscular condition in which the muscle cells contract when a goat is excited, frightened or nervous. It causes no discomfort and the goat does not "faint". Their back legs will stiffen and they will topple over if off balance. Most goats learn to brace themselves before falling as they get older. Kids readily "faint" and fall over. This condition is what causes these goats to have the characteristic "double muscling" and heavy, muscular frames. They have a meat to bone ratio of 4:1 which is the hightest of any breed. They are slow to mature though so most have been bred to be companion animals or "pets".
Tennessee Meat Goats are a product of Onion Creek Ranch and are a Myotonic goat that has been specifically bred to be a large, meaty animal for the meat market. They must have Onion Creek Ranch bloodlines, meet certain standards and be inspected by a representative of Onion Creek Ranch in order to be registered with Pedigree International as a Tennessee Meat Goat.
Onion Creek Ranch has also developed a breed known as the TexMaster. They have Boer influence for faster growth and are also registered with Pedigree International. They are not to be confused with Genemasters, which are a Boer/Kiko product from Onion Creek Ranch.
Myotonic Goats do not have a breed standard but rather a breed description due to the wide variance in the goats. They can be any color or color combination. Some do not readily faint at all and some are always stiff legged. They absolutely must have a docile temperment, high quality muscling, and a very specific head shape. They have a broad muzzle, "bug eyes" and a straight face.

So let's stop pretending.
Q. Can human actions cause earthquakes?
"Agents triggering the earthquakes often refuse to admit responsibility and make it difficult to obtain the data that could prove it."
Arkansas has had a couple or more earthquakes everyday for the past week and there was one in Oklahoma yesterday. All in areas with lots of drilling.
UPDATE: His argument breaks down a bit when he says, "Even a small stress increase can cause a fault to fail," then says, "Dr. Seeber said that the process [fracking] was not likely to set off earthquakes." …incongruent much?
The British Geological Society has confirmed that fracking does cause earthquakes.

Let me start off. My laundry is done in my basement. Like others. I sort my clothes into colors onto the FLOOR (bins don't exsist) and I put " special " items into another basket.
Follow-Up Postings:
rofl............I used to sing that song. You don't have teenagers in your house, do you? We solved the white problems exactly how you were teasing. We buy them by the dozen at Hanes website. Identical and all one size. Then when one gets past the point of redemption, we have a spare and it gets paired up with another spare to make a pair. I go so far as to put a stack of each person's clean clothes on their dresser. Take it to their rooms? Ha! I haven't trained my husband to take it to his room. I'm not much one for buying things I don't need, but I think some cheap plastic bins should be on your shopping list. Put two in each bedroom, ugly or not. Label one clean and label the other dirty. You might not ever get your family to sort out their dirty clothes by light/medium/dark load but you can get them to throw all their dirty ones in the dirty bin and you can stuff all their clean ones in the clean bin. Threaten to break knuckles if a clean one ends up in the dirty bin. I have heard too many women complain that their kids sort through the clean stuff, wad it up in a mess and when forced to clean their rooms, toss it in the dirty clothes for Mama to wash again. Bull pucky. When a child reaches the age of twelve, and can run the most sophisticated electronic in your home and text on their blackberry blindfolded as they do their homework, they can be taught how to wash their own clothes. Yes.....you can delegate that. Believe me they learn when they run out of clothing. Even husbands can learn. If you let them do their own, you don't have to worry about a pair of indigo jeans going in with your white cotton lawn dress. If they have pink underwear and grey socks, it's their problem. And when peer pressure gets bad enough, they'll clean up their act. (And their clothes) Yes, find a good all-purpose detergent and it can be used on all your laundry, save maybe very delicate hand washables. |

I loved Calliope's post!! What I did was put in a laundry chute and a cabinet with a basket system. Every day I unload the chute and sort the clothes in the appropriate basket. When the basket is full the load needs to be washed. So you are basically washing at least one load a day. So I would suggest that you get some baskets that approximate the load amount of clothing you can put in your washer. When the basket is full just pick it up and load the washer. No more of picking up every item, again, off the floor. Your laundry area will look neater and more pleasing to the eye which will be more "calming" to your demeanor. Also, I would hang everything that you can. The only thing I didn't hang were socks and boxer shorts. All their underwear t-shirts were always hung. They're not as apt to paw through the piles and toss clean clothes on the floor. Depending on their age you could even buy rolling clothes racks for each person. That way they have the option of either packing the items up to their rooms, or go to the basement every day. Laundry is a never ending chore. Come up with a game plan as to how you will tackle the problem every day. Obviously the age of your children will determine how you will approach the problem. And pick one day as "your" day. No laundry, etc., so you can have at least a few hours of ME time. |

Hear your pain Five girls panties and socks everywhere. spent countless hours sorting size foding and matching until I started this system. I got stakable bins one for each child. I just threw all their panties and sock in their bins. They had to go get them each day, eventually they got tired of this and started matching and putting them away themselves. You would be surprised how much extra time you have when you do not have matching and folding socks as a chore. An added bonus: They never ran out of socks oe undies. For some reason my girls "lost" these items as soon as they hit their room.saved me countless hours looking for socks before the school bus came. |
My mother used to tell us that the washing machine runs only one day a week. If we miss having our dirty clothes in the laundry room bin by then, we'll have to wait another week. She did deliver the washed clothes to our beds for us to put away. Later on she said we could do our own laundry. Ha! My sister was the worst. She's wash one blouse at a time, or one pair of jeans at a time. It wasn't long before our father started to complain about the water bill. Back to only one day a week washing. |

What good ideas. It's just DH and me but even so laundry management is a bear, as we seem to stack up dirty clothes like crazy. I don't like DH to "help" with the laundry because no matter how much he's doing, he brings it all into the laundry room at once and then I don't know what is clean and what is dirty... -I only bring into the laundry room what I'm doing at the time. -I also got him all one kind of white sock, and all one kind of black dress sock. -I use liquid Tide (original scent, not the kind with "Clorox") for everything except silk dresses. I use cheap shampoo for those. -We have three rolling plastic hampers in the closet (purchased at The Container Store or even Target/Walmart): one for towels, one for whites, one for colors. Dress shirts just go on the floor. I have several extra of these that remain stacked until the full ones are rolled into the laundry room, then the empty replaces it (otherwise the clothes start to collect on the floor.) -Like someone else said, everything is hung except sox and undies. Those "Joy Mangano" hangers are really nice for not taking up too much room, and things don't slip off them. I stick to one color of them so it seems more serene in the closet. My big problem is that I don't fold things up promptly and get bins of laundry waiting to be folded! I have to do better on that. |
I found that moving from a large laundry room in the lower level of my old house, to a laundry closet on the 2nd floor of this one, helped tremendously with my laundry disorganization. Laundry is kept in each person's bedroom or bath and is easily collected when I decide to toss in a load. I fold it as it comes out of the dryer, using the machines as stacking surfaces, and put it in bedrooms directly. I do this because I know that if I get lazy and toss it into a basket it will stay there forEVER. I agree that a kid who can figure out a smart phone or hook up the family entertainment system without a manual can learn to run the washer. |

Bad news for India, probably for China, perhaps for the US as well
Peak water might be a more serious problem — and perhaps happening sooner — than peak oil. NASA satellites provide more evidence of the danger. But as the comment at the end notes, profitable but unsustainable agriculture is the underlying cause of the problem — and ending it will be the eventual result (but hardly a solution).
As SOP on the FM site, here is a general explanation plus an abstract of the article.
- "NASA Satellites Unlock Secret to Northern India's Vanishing Water", NASA, 12 August 2009
- "Satellite data show Indian water stocks shrinking", Quirin Schiermeier, Nature, 20 August 2009
- Conclusions — about shockwaves
- Afterward and For More Information
(1) "NASA Satellites Unlock Secret to Northern India's Vanishing Water", NASA, 12 August 2009 — Excerpt:
Beneath northern India's irrigated fields of wheat, rice, and barley — beneath its densely populated cities of Jaiphur and New Delhi, the groundwater has been disappearing. Halfway around the world, hydrologists, including Matt Rodell of NASA, have been hunting for it.
Where is northern India's underground water supply going? According to Rodell and colleagues, it is being pumped and consumed by human activities — principally to irrigate cropland — faster than the aquifers can be replenished by natural processes. They based their conclusions — published in the August 20 issue of Nature — on observations from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE).
"If measures are not taken to ensure sustainable groundwater usage, consequences for the 114 million residents of the region may include a collapse of agricultural output and severe shortages of potable water," said Rodell, who is based at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Md.
… Changes in underground water masses affect gravity enough to provide a signal, such that changes in gravity can be translated into a measurement of an equivalent change in water.
"Water below the surface can hide from the naked eye, but not from GRACE," said Rodell. The twin satellites of GRACE can sense tiny changes in Earth's gravity field and associated mass distribution, including water masses stored above or below Earth's surface. As the satellites orbit 300 miles above Earth's surface, their positions change — relative to each other — in response to variations in the pull of gravity. The satellites fly roughly 137 miles apart, and microwave ranging systems measure every microscopic change in the distance between the two.
With previous research in the United States having proven the accuracy of GRACE in detecting groundwater, Rodell and colleagues Isabella Velicogna, of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the University of California-Irvine, and James Famiglietti, of UC-Irvine, were looking for a region where they could apply the new technique. "Using GRACE satellite observations, we can observe and monitor water changes in critical areas of the world, from one month to the next, without leaving our desks," said Velicogna. "These satellites provide a window to underground water storage changes."
The northern Indian states of Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana have all of the ingredients for groundwater depletion: staggering population growth, rapid economic development and water-hungry farms, which account for about 95% of groundwater use in the region.
Data provided by India's Ministry of Water Resources suggested groundwater use was exceeding natural replenishment, but the regional rate of depletion was unknown. Rodell and colleagues had their case study. The team analyzed six years of monthly GRACE gravity data for northern India to produce a time series of water storage changes beneath the region's land surface. They found that groundwater levels have been declining by an average of one meter every 3 years (one foot per year). More than 109 cubic km (26 cubic miles) of groundwater disappeared between 2002 and 2008 — double the capacity of India's largest surface water reservoir, the Upper Wainganga, and triple that of Lake Mead, the largest man-made reservoir in the United States.
"We don't know the absolute volume of water in the Northern Indian aquifers, but GRACE provides strong evidence that current rates of water extraction are not sustainable," said Rodell. "The region has become dependent on irrigation to maximize agricultural productivity, so we could be looking at more than a water crisis."
… "At its core, this dilemma is an age-old cycle of human need and activity — particularly the need for irrigation to produce food," said Bridget Scanlon, a hydrologist at the Jackson School of Geosciences at the University of Texas in Austin. "That cycle is now overwhelming fresh water reserves all over the world. Even one region's water problem has implications beyond its borders."
"For the first time, we can observe water use on land with no additional ground-based data collection," Famiglietti said. "This is critical because in many developing countries, where hydrological data are both sparse and hard to access, space-based methods provide perhaps the only opportunity to assess changes in fresh water availability across large regions."
the period.
(2) "Satellite data show Indian water stocks shrinking", Quirin Schiermeier, Nature, 20 August 2009 — "Groundwater depletion raises spectre of shortages."
Unsustainable water use in India is threatening agricultural production and raising the spectre of a major water crisis. Matthew Rodell of NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland, and colleagues used data from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellites — operated by NASA and the German Aerospace Center (DLR) — to determine how groundwater levels are changing in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Punjab and Haryana, which includes the national capital of New Delhi.
Comment by Arvind Kumar:
I think that the main reason for the fast depletion water stock in north India, particularly in Haryana and Punjab is the success of Green Revolution. Green Revolution introduced the Paddy (Rice) crop in this region. Rice crop requires a lot of water and thus, ideally not suited for Haryana and Punjab – definitely not at the level that was demanded by the green revolution. The success of green revolution in India was due to use of ground water.
If we want to reduce the depletion of water stock in north India, the most important step would be to change the agricultural habits of the farmers in Haryana and Punjab, and introduce alternative crops which do not rely so heavily on water as rice does.
This is the story of water shortages in many countries, from northern India to southern California. Water intensive crops grown in dry areas, exhausting the underground water reserves. The after-effects will be painful.
(3) Conclusions — about shockwaves
The precautionary principle is usually applied in an irrational manner to individual threats, such as climate change. There are many high impact – low probability threats, which I call "shockwaves". Also, the US and world have many vital if more mundane needs that deserve funding. Since resources are finite, we must access their relative importance — which few of these special interest groups around each shockwave bother to do. I discuss this in greater length at this post; here is my suggestion:
Commission a group to collect as many shockwave scenarios as possible, with a brief analysis of each. Fortunately there are thousands of interest groups willing to pitch in and help! Then apply a common analytical framework to rate them on both dimensions: probability and impact. The results would prove quite interesting, and allow more rational public policy discussion about which to act upon.

At heart, this seems to be an energy problem, not a water problem. 3/4 of the Earth's surface is covered in water, after all. With enough cheap energy we can desalinate all the water we need. 3rd and 4th generation nuke plants and satellite solar seem like steps in the right direction.
Fabius Maximus replies: I doubt you can find any numbers, any studies, to justify this comment. Nuke power would have to become far more inexpensive than anything currently planned in order to power desalination plants to provide water for agriculture. That's sci fi, at this time. Satellite solar is even more distant.LikeLike

Something similar is happening to the Ogalala aquifer in the US, caused, as I recall, by surface mining or exploration for coal in the Dakotas. Of course, water is a major issue in the ME already, possibly the real motive underlying Israel's expansion. Reportedly, three or four years ago, Jenna Bush was in Latin America (Paraguay, I believe) negotiating the purchase for the family of a million acre land-tract overlaying the major aquifer for that region.
Fabius Maximus replies: Yes, it's a global problem.LikeLike

I linked to this piece on my blog as well. The simple fact of the matter is that Haryana and Punjab do not practice anything near sustainable agriculture. A switch from rice to grain could cut this problem in half; switching from surface irrigation to drip irrigation would reduce water use even more.
The problem with this solution is that it can be quite expensive in the short term. For most small farmers installing a drip system of irrigation costs more than will be made back in lower overhead expenses.
I wonder how long this will hold true. In ten years time I would not be surprised if every Punjabi could install a drip irrigation system and have money to spare. Thus the real question we should be asking is not, "Will we hit peak water?", but, "Can we develop water-use and irrigation technologies and techniques faster than we deplete the water?"

While researching this post, I found that Atrazine is the most commonly detected pesticide in US waters and is a known endocrine disruptor, which means that it affects human and animal hormones. It supports your argument that industrial agriculture is only a part of the problem. The report U.S. Drinking Water and Watersheds Widely Contaminated by Hormone Disrupting Pesticide, Atrazine – Analysis of Water Data Reveals Broad Contamination Ignored by EPA Monitoring was released by The Natural Resources Defense Council, nrdc.org in August 2009.

This is a timely warning indeed. India should evolve a national policy for saving water flowing from rivers into the seas.Rainwater harvesting on a country wide level should be the immediate target. Waste water recycling and reuse should be given paramount importance on a national scale, urgently.

Other items to consider:
Weather Worsens Mexico City's Water Shortage
One of the principal reservoirs that feeds Mexico City, the Cutzamala dam system, is nearly half-empty and continuing to drop. Water shutoffs have become routine in some of the city's poorest neighborhoods.
A respite came this week with a few days of heavy rain. But with the country facing what could be one of its driest years in nearly seven decades, the government is running ads with a dire prediction: "February 2010: The City May Run Out of Water."
"If we can't get control of water demand here, the difference between what's offered and what's needed is going to leave parts of this city without any water," says Ramón Aguirre, head of Mexico City's water system.
Mexico's capital, with its 19 million residents, is confronting a crisis that also is a threat elsewhere. Los Angeles, Beijing and Singapore are just a few of the world's urban centers struggling to accommodate growing populations with dwindling supplies of drinkable water.
Lush Land Dries Up, Withering Kenya's Hopes
A devastating drought is sweeping across Kenya, killing livestock, crops and children. It is stirring up tensions in the ramshackle slums where the water taps have run dry, and spawning ethnic conflict in the hinterland as communities fight over the last remaining pieces of fertile grazing land.
The twin hearts of Kenya's economy, agriculture and tourism, are especially imperiled. The fabled game animals that safari-goers fly thousands of miles to see are keeling over from hunger and the picturesque savanna is now littered with an unusually large number of sun-bleached bones.
Ethiopia. Sudan. Somalia. Maybe even Niger and Chad. These countries have become almost synonymous with drought and famine. But Kenya? This nation is one of the most developed in Africa, home to a typically robust economy, countless United Nations offices and thousands of aid workers.
Fabius Maximus replies: What is the point? Droughts are natural climate cycles, even in Kenya.LikeLike

The drought in Iraq and Afghanistan , I have been unreliably informed , is due to the UK and US invasion . However , for the rest of the world , where the dickens has the rain gone to ?
Fabius Maximus replies: I have seen no evidence of a world-wide drought.LikeLike

" Nuke power would have to become far more inexpensive than anything currently planned in order to power desalination plants to provide water for agriculture. That's sci fi, at this time."
Conventional irrigation is very wasteful of water. Aeroponics is a proven technology (developed in Fabius' own US of A) that needs tiny amounts of water and energy.
For that matter, I could put up a dozen links to high-efficiency farming methods. If India were to adopt efficient agriculture, it could feed its masses and more. If India continues its present course … it will get to where it's currently headed.
Fabius Maximus replies: Agreed. We can greatly reduce ag's water consumption by more efficient use of water plus switching to less water-intensive crops. Water is under-priced, and the supply of underpriced goods is almost always less than demand.LikeLike

So, to be clear, you would like me to sketch out a plan to irrigate India (with references) in 250 words or less? Your regard for my intellect is flattering.
On nuclear power: "The New Nukes", Wall Street Journal, 8 September 2009 — Excerpt:
Still, nuclear plants will remain very expensive. Recent estimates put Generation III plant costs at $4,000 to $6,700 per kilowatt of capacity, or $4.4 billion to $11 billion, for plants ranging from 1,100 megawatts to 1,600 megawatts in size. In comparison, a recent Massachusetts Institute of Technology study estimated the price of a coal plant at about $2,300 a kilowatt of capacity and a gas-fired plant at about $850 a kilowatt of capacity.
Pacific Gas and Electric does not share your pessimism about solar satellites: "Power company plans first orbital solar power satellite", posted at BoingBoint, 9 April 2009.
My point is that with cheap energy, many things become possible. All options will look inexpensive compared to famine.
Fabius Maximus replies: This is gibberish.
(1) Re your first sentence: my reply to your comment #1 said no such thing.
(2) I've added an excerpt to the WSJ article you cite, showing that my reply was accurate.
(3) I said that "Satellite solar is even more distant {than nukes}"; the PG&E news is about a study of something to be tested in the indefinite future, with development to follow after that.Your comments are inaccurate in that they point to technology that will not substantially affect the supply of water to agriculture during our lives — and probably not in our children's lives. Saying that technology will save us sometime in the distant future as useful as describing the wonders of Heaven.

"Your comments are inaccurate in that they point to technology that will not substantially affect the supply of water to agriculture during our lives — and probably not in our children's lives.

If you say that your country will not have this technology in your life, Fabius, you're already wrong, because many of the technologies that you spurn as "uneconomic" were made by Americans. However, the more eager, more ambitious nations of the earth enthusiastically adopt the fruits of your labors and profit from them because your masses lack the will to do so. The tragedy of the white race is that they produce outstanding geniuses such as Newton, but the white masses are not as clever as more evolved races, such as Northeast Asians.

Fabius Maximus replies: Please at least pretend that you are paying attention to the topic being discussed — which is providing providing water for agricuture. The cost must be at least an order of magnitude cheaper than for urban use, which is why these articles your keep referencing are irrelevant. It will probably come eventually, but is far off. Stay on topic.Also, I suggest not getting excited by articles like this. Popular Science and others have been running things like this for 60 years. Flying cars, living in space, etc. Corporations would take government money to build a sun if they could catch DARPA or its equivalents in a weak moment, and Pop Sci would write gushing articles telling how your children will live under 2 suns.

Prisoners of Christ
contact us
For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow, but woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up Ecclesiastes 4: 10
First, I want to express my gratitude for the Grace given unto me. This is a concise portion of my testimony of unconditional love and how God so graciously rescued me. I came from the single parent home of a loving mother who gave her all but unfortunately, I failed to see that then. I drifted away from that God - designed parental authority; I was going to do it my way, associating with the ones my mother counseled me to avoid. I was young, foolish, and chased things I would later regret. By the age of 18 I was a fruit of rebellion. God said; "Be not decieved, He will not be mocked, whatsoever is sowed will be reaped." In December of 1976 I took a man's life. It was not intentional but it happened and I was resposbible. That's the day I realized I had a conscience; I had never felt such guilt. It was a heaviness I will always remember and the feeling led me to get on my knees asking God to forgive what I had done. In 1977 I was convicted and sentenced to life with 25 years mandatory before eligibility for parole. Spending 35 years and some change in prison was my potter's wheel and indeed the potter worked a work in me. (Philippians 1:6)
January 15, 2013 I was granted parole (which is defined also as grace). My desire was to acclimate in a structured setting. Prisoners of Christ opened their arms prior to being released. I came here with a T-Shirt, short pants, a pair of Air Jordans too tight on my feet, and the famous blue bag, with less than $50 to my name on the Greyhound. POC staff was there to meet me with compassion and open arms. It's been almost 18 months. I am still here at POC, growing in the daily classrooms where God teaches and continues to shape me on the potter's wheel. Today I am working with the ministry, giving back where unconditional love was given to me. I am reminded each day of a saying; Grace is when God gives us what we don't deserve. Mercy is when God doesn't give us what we do deserve. That fit me exactly, God Bless and may we ever be reminded that the grace brought to us and bought for us by Christ Jesus. Amen.

Lee Valley Tools has this unit that looks pretty cool to me, but since I've never seeded indoors, what do I know?
www.leevalley.com/garden/page.aspx?c=2,44716&p=10549 Would you girls/guys pay $309.00 plus $61.50 for bulbs, to buy this? Is it too expensive, and if so, could I get one elsewhere? If I buy something like this, I want reasonable quality. My husband could "rig" me one but that seems like a lot of hassle if I can just buy one. Any comments or suggestions would be, as usual, greatly appreciated =:) |
Follow-Up Postings:
That is really, really expensive. I have a Jump Start light that I got at a local garden centre. Does the job. |

Hi, I would not pay that much. I have a florescent light unit screwed to the underside of a shelf in the basement. it cost $15.00 new, all you need is one cool bulb and one warm bulb to get the whole light spectrum. or you can get an atrium bulb about $7.00 at home depot. I have not even replaced these bulbs in 4 years and I start hundreds of seedlings every year. Hope this gives you an idea. Cheryl |
Mine is similar to Cheryl's. I also winter sow, which means no light setup, no worries about damp off, no worries about hardening off, etc. I just do really tender annuals or ones that take a long time from seed to bloom. |
No I am too frugal to spend that kind of money. These light stands can be easily built from lumber. Use 2"x2" for the legs and side pieces with 1"x material for shelves. Four foot light fixtures are only about $20 each and if you use two per shelf with 3 or 4 shelves, your cost will be under $200 and you will have a better unit. Don't foget to buy or salvage casters off office chairs. Drill a hole in the bottom of the 2"x2" and drive the casters in. You will need some electrical cord and three prong plugs but that is fairly strighforward. Here are acouple of photos. |

Cowgirl- are these pics of your setup? How do you raise or lower the light for your plants? I see in the last pic a grooved metal area shelf? Do you use a tray system to hold your seedlings on, water by misting or from the bottom? Sorry for all the questions- mine is similar only I have more spacing on the shelves to raise or lower the lights. Nutsaboutflowers- I agree with the others that that is too $ You could build one and buy a lot of seeds for that price Lois |

I have two light stands. One is wooden shelves similar to the one posted above. The shelves on mine can be moved by pulling the bolts out on the ends and moving down to what ever height is needed. However, I find this too much bother. I put boxes or books under the trays to lift them up. Less time and much easier. The second set of shelves are the same as Sharon posted on here a few years ago. Bought shelves and just attach the lights to the bottom of the shelves. I start soooo many plants that the trays have to be switched out every 12 hours or so. so I water away from the lights. Either with the tray on another set of shelves with no lights, the floor or on a table. I mist seeds and sprouts. Once a good strong set of leaves grows, I just water from the top into the dirt...with a little watering can. I haven't replaced any bulbs for a few years...I think they may be cool bulbs, but I might have bought the aquarium grow bulbs....can't remember with out looking. Sierra |

Oh No ! Oh Noooo !! It sounds like I should have my hubby build me one..... The reason I say "oh no" is that last year, after living with it for a few years, I insisted my father get rid of the junk he had in our garage. It was a space where we said he could put a "few things". His "junk" included lumber that could have ended up being a free plant stand for me other than the lights. I guess I should be more careful about what I consider to be junk =:) BTW Thanks for the pictures. I think I'll use a bit of everyone's ideas. |
Cowgirl- are these pics of your setup? How do you raise or lower the light for your plants? I see in the last pic a grooved metal area shelf? Do you use a tray system to hold your seedlings on, water by misting or from the bottom? Yes, this is the one of the setups I use. Four trays will fit side-by-side under each light. The trays are raised up or down instead of moving the lights. Much easier. The trays are removed for watering and misting. Once the plants get too big for the stand, they are moved out to the greenhouse. |
- Posted by nutsaboutflowers 2b/3a (My Page) on Thu, Jan 28, 10 at 18:43
Does everyone find it a tiny bit difficult to water with these setups? If so, I'm thinking hubby should also include slides (like you use on drawers), so I can pull out the shelves for easier watering and lookielooing. |
Nutsaboutflowers- That could work- sliders as long as they are sturdy enough to hold the weight. AS they say one persons junk is another ones treasure!!We all live and learn . Lois |
Hey, I used to have one of those too. I'd build my own (I'm the handy husband you ladies keep talking about :), but I couldn't be bothered, so I just bought that unit instead. |
