36" gas cooktop advice
Hi all, I've a couple questions on 36" gas cooktops for a forthcoming remodel:
1) I'm primarily considering the Gaggenau VG295 and Wolf ICBCT36G/S. I *think* the Gaggenau would be better suited to my needs with regards to the output of the burners, but I really like the look and layout of the Wolf (the location of the knobs and the fact that they light up is very appealing). However, I'd appreciate any opinions from those with experience of either of these cooktops. I like stir-frying, and the Gaggenau has a central wok burner. How does the Wolf do for high-heat tasks like stir-frying?
2) Are there other brands I should be considering for high-end performance? Keep in mind that I live in Ireland and won't have access to many brands available in North America. Is Viking worthwhile or are there too many quality issues?
Thank you very much for any advice.
If I lived in Europe and were looking at high end gas cooktops I would do the following.
Miele CombiSet CS1028
It is a 15" SuperBurner Gas Wok Cooktop with 27,300 BTU Output.
Miele KM360
24" Sealed Burner Gas Cooktop with 4 Burners
You have one restaurant quality burner to stir-fry, sear, sauté, grill, a dedicated simmer burner for delicate sauces, and three additional burners for normal use.
It takes 39" of counter-top space, so just 3 extra inches of what you were originally looking at.

Hi deeageaux, that's an interesting option and one I hadn't considered. I'll look into it. Miele don't actually make it available to the Irish market (the wok burner, that is) but a dealer here has indicated that he can get any Miele product for me. I'll have to see if it would be feasible from a cost perspective.
You seem very well-informed, and if you've any advice to dispense about ovens I'm looking for that over here:
Thanks so much for your reply!
If the American market Miele unit does not work out maybe these UK market units will. Less powerful but still capable at about 21k btu or 6kw.
Miele Kitchen Hob CS 1011 G 6 kw Hob
de Dietrich DTG1118X Domino 6.1 kw Wok Hob
Bosch PRA326B70E Domino Hob 6 kw Gas Wok Style
Neff N24K35N0 Series 6 kw Wok Burner
yes, the Wolf multi-function one has already made in on my radar, am going to get a quote. I expect it will indeed be pricey!!
When I looked at the original post I assumed that the European and American versions of the Gaggenau cooktops were the same.
The center wok burner is rated as 5000 watts or 17,000 btu in the USA.
In Europe, the center wok burner is rated at 6k watts?
Is Gaggenau making different more powerful burners for Europe?
Or are standards different? An American watt is not the same as a European watt?
In any event Wolf's European rated multifunction burner rated at 8kw is grater than the Gaggenau at 6kw.

"What an amazing product. I have gotten more phone calls and emails asking where I got my son's birth announcements. They turned out just like they showed on the previews. VERY fast service and a great product. Also very easy to edit and add your information to the card. I would highly recommend them."
"We love this sweet card for our son's announcement. We used a picture we took and then had the free design help/review and truly, it's just adorable. Our friends and family love it! Looks very professional and more expensive."
"This birth announcement turned out great! The paper quality was better than I expected. The photo print quality was nice. The colors (blue and green) on the card were very vivid and nice. I am extremely pleased with them!"
"I love this design. Nikki in customer service pulled the blue border off the design for me so it would be more neutral (I'm trying to stay away from too much blue and pink). It turned out beautiful!"
"Our family moved into our new home just a few days before my son was born. The last thing I needed was to worry about sending a moving announcement AND a birth announcement, so I was thrilled to see that Tiny Prints offered a combo announcement. Our friends and family have given it rave reviews. My only issue with it is that the actual size of the photo is relatively small, but I knew that when I picked it out. Customer service was excellent. I had difficulty merging my address book and Bailey was able to get everything straightened out in no time... and she even sent me a hand-written thank you note! That was impressive."

-sigh- I can't say I really like or dislike this post. It influences us to get closer to God, which matches most of the common religions, but I feel that with all the religion diversity this article didn't cover territory well. It seems to be saying that any religion is fine... which I don't completely agree with. I think that everyone should try their hardest to find THE true church, and as long as we look for it, we'll be fine.
I mean this sincerely: Go ahead and correct me. I'll try and understand your view.

GL, tbh I don't love this post. I personally don't believe in God and am not religious in any way. As a website for ALL girls i don't feel that you should pedal a certain religion. When other people read this I know that they will say "Gl isn't pedaling a certain religion, they are just supporting Christians." But here's the thing when you read an article in a magazine or on one of your favorite blogs or websites they influence you. And Gl knows this and I think that religion is something that should be left off of Gl.
by gracezoom144 on 4/28/2013 12:10:46 AM
i love this!!!!! As a christian, spreading God's word is very very very important to me. It's nice that GL doesn't force it on people but still brings it up, because it is a very important issue. Thanks, Girl's Life!!!!!
by fashionista9400 on 4/19/2013 6:21:24 PM
Thanks for posting this article GL! I may not agree with everything you have said, but I certainly like hearing about the Christian bible for a change! The media is full of stories about the Quran and other books from different religions, especially where I live, so its really refreshing to hear about Christianity!
The point in this is that anyone of any religious denomination can take this article and apply it to their own life.
Good for you GL! Thank you very much! Kelsey H.
by aislinn120 on 4/13/2013 10:08:31 PM
Good job GL for showing your beliefs in the open, anymore people don't tell anybody their religion anymore because a bunch of people put it down because its not their religion. Kelsey H.

I'm not really religious, but I think its pretty cool GL isn't afraid of posting stuff like this. Lot of people are so anti religion. I remember my friend got in trouble for saying "bless you" after someone sneezed at school!

I'm sooooooo happy GL finally has an article about God!

German Elections Go Open Source 159
from the one-small-step-for-the-bundestag dept.
We've improved Slashdot's video section; now you can view our video interviews, product close-ups and site visits with all the usual Slashdot options to comment, share, etc. No more walled garden! It's a work in progress -- we hope you'll check it out (Learn more about the recent updates).
First off, congratulations to the German Government. It's good to see the German people upholding the values of democracy, in ironic counterpoint to the USA
The obvious question is this: The German Government now has the software for handling elections; will they now offer that software to the governments of other countries for (free|low cost)?
Judging from the amount of posts that Slashdot drops anyway. You need to accurately record every vote, you can't drop 1 in 100,000 even.
Maybe if they are using MySQL 4 with transactions and all the other stuff, then fine. But really, Postgresql is a better match. And preferable is a solution where you can sue someone if it all goes wrong...
If I wanted to rig an election in the US, I would have to rig it ONE COUNTY AT A TIME, because each election office makes their own choice how to operate on the voting day in question.
With a centralized, standard voting system like Germany's open source plan, I would just have to know how to rig one system.
The Florida election worked exactly as it should have - the election was just really close. It sucks that we couldn't just call the election at 10PM and go to bed, but you know what? Your vote *does* matter.
This is exactly the sort of anecdotal evidence that open source advocates need to avoid. The fact that it's reliable to that extent is completely irrelevant. Businesses (and in this case, governments) don't care if it goes down occasionally. Sure, they'd rather it didn't. But what they do care about is that if it does go down, they don't lose data integrity. It's far less costly to have 2 hours downtime than it is to have garbage data in your database (potentially without you knowing about it). MySQL doesn't have the ACID properties, that provide this level of assurance, and until it does, it won't really be suitable for this sort of use.

here on the wiki his first appearance is credited as Wonder Woman #8 from 1987...this can't be right...right?
@danhimself: yes, it's incorrect. As Drake, he showed up in Batman 436, and as Robin in Batman 442. Although I could be wrong. I just saw it on wikipedia heh
I don't have the issue so I can't check it but that can't be right since Jason hadn't even died yet
@batmannflash: I was thinking that it was sometime around then....it's just weird that someone would edit that into the wiki
@danhimself: Well I'm trying to edit it but apparently I can't edit the "first appearance." Maybe have a mod confirm whether or not this is true and maybe they can change it.
@batmannflash: if it's still not changed in the morning then I'll see if I can change it

I'm pretty sure he has never even appeared in Wonder Woman, let alone have his first appearance.

I'll be honest; when I see pieces painted over in this fashion, I usually want to run the other way. Just the thought of trying to tackle a project like this credenza from Meagan Luhrs and her husband, Ryan Thompson, makes me break out in a preemptive sweat. I am amazed at their results and would expect to pay no less than top dollar for such clean, mid-century lines and beautiful wood. Clearly, elbow grease and perseverance can pay off— if you have the skill to spot a piece with good bones. Amazing job, guys! — Kate
Have a Before & After you'd like to share? Shoot me an email with your images right here! (Low res, under 500k per image, please.)
Time: Probably 20 to 25 hours from start to finish. That sounds like a lot of time, but the dresser was in really rough shape and needed some serious TLC.
Cost: $85. The dresser was $35 on Craigslist and we spent about $50 on supplies — Citristrip, paint scrapers, white enamel paint, sandpaper and Danish oil.
Basic Steps: I was pregnant at the time, so my husband did all of the hard work! He started by stripping the white paint with Citristrip and scrubbing the dresser with soap and water. Then he sanded — being very careful on the veneered drawers — filled the damaged corners with wood filler, sanded all surfaces, primed the dresser frame with oil-based Kilz, painted the dresser frame with white enamel paint and oiled the drawer fronts with Danish oil.
Look for creative solutions to give a piece of furniture new life; for us, this was going with a two-tone finish. Since we were unable to save the dresser frame — the corners were too damaged — we decided to repaint it white. We originally thought we'd have to repaint the drawers too, but the veneer was really beautiful, and we were able to restore them. The contrast of the white frame and wood drawers turned out to be a really nice design element. — Meagan Luhrs and Ryan Thompson
wow…so much work but so worth it…mad props hubby! job exceedingly well done!
This looks amazing. How wonderful that you were able to save such a lovely piece!
Much, much better. I love this dresser. We found something similar in a neighborhood alley, and I hope to clean it up and restore it in the next few months.
love it. I inherited a similar one which I was tempted to throw out but maybe I should reconsider. The baby's room looks fantastic, I particularly like the bookshelves. Nice work! Btw, would you mind tipping me off as to where you got that amazing sky print?
That is Gahhhhjus!
Love the dresser but the bookshelves are pretty darn cute too – are they spice racks?
This is beautiful! I love the wood grain.
Tried to think of a clever comment. But all I can come up with is "beautiful". And frankly … I think that says it all. ~ karen!
This came out amazing. The finished result makes the unit look really expensive and high end! Its definitely a statement piece.
Love, love, LOVE this!! What a beautiful job!
Where did you get your book shelves on the wall? I've been looking for a clean and out of the way manner to store my sons oodles of books. Love it!
This is awesome. I love the final result, and can totally appreciate the hard work it took to get there!! Well done!
wowser, looks great! a lot of work, but great!
Gorgeous! That tlc and elbow grease paid off big time!
I love it!!
This gives me great hope for some of my pieces that I've been too busy to refinish. What a stunning final product! And three cheers for thriftiness!
This. Is. Gorgeous. And considering the results, 20-25 hours doesn't seem like an inordinate amount of time (easy for me to say, I didn't do the work!).
Wow! This is really awesome. Makes me want to re-refinish my hutch. Great job!
The piece looks beautiful. I really like the contrast between the painted portion and the wood fronts.
That's gorgeous! I love the contrast between the white and natural wood.
Green with envy at your ability, patience, and frankly, having the space to do this in your home!
so gorgeous and inspiring! i never imagined you could do all that to save a dresser! great job.
Love this, I've been recently thinking about doing something like this for a TV stand. Great job, it looks amazing
So beautiful. I really want to find a credenza and do this.
LOVE the drawer handles!
WOW! she's a beaut. i've been on the lookout for a piece like this and now i'm really on a mission to find one!
Beautiful! Can you tell us why the drawer pulls are lighter? Are they a different type of wood, or did you paint them as well? Hard to tell in the photos. Thanks for sharing! Inspiring!
Looks SOO amazing!! WOW, speechless over here :)
Amazing job indeed! To be honest, I am usually the odd one out when it comes to before-and-afters, because it seems to me that people take away all the character of the pieces and turn them into rather silly coloured furniture. But this, however, is simply great! They gave back the elegant and cool character the dresser originaly had. But made it witha new language. Excellent!
I agree with Fabi: this is breathtaking! And not at all silly or cartoony.
that is STUNNING! i love, love, love pieces like this that have the potential to be refurbished and look brand new. beautiful job.
What a stunning transformation! It looks amazing, well done. Amazing to see that it was so wonderfully restored!
It's beautiful – what an amazing transformation!
not a fan of white with wood-but the job is mind-bugling and the result is fab.
the piece is done sooooo professionally that it looks factory made.
envious of your patience:)
Wow… I do not envy the job of stripping all that paint off! ah. But- it was obviously worth it because the dresser is awesome. I really like the lighter stain (I'm assuming it's stain and not a different type of wood?) on the handles. It gives great contrast and lines.
It makes me so happy that you saved this piece and made it gorgeous! Thank you for being awesome :)
Wow…just beautiful! I am usually not A huge fan of mid-century modern furniture, but this has made me rethink that opinion because you have shown how great and fresh it can look. Great job, and a pat on the back to your hubby for being so motivated. Pregnancy sometimes does that to men!
AWEsome makeover!!
Absolutely love wood-white combos. I painted the shell of my mid-century mod credenza white this past summer and am thrilled with the result. But I love yours even more as the piece's previous rough shape makes this "after" shot waaaaaay more impressive. Great job guys!!!
All white makes it cheap looking but with the stained drawers makes all the difference. On another blog, the writer took the IKEA RAST dresser (comes unfinished) which is only 39.99 and refinished it in the same manner with new hardware. She uses them as bedside tables.
turned out amazing! good thing you saved it!
Absolutely beautiful & well worth the hard work! A real inspiration for rescuing a beautifil piece even though it was badly damaged.
Really beautiful job! It's great to see that a piece got restored so the beautiful veneer can bee seen. A lot of time makeovers are just the opposite, unfortunately, when people paint over quality wood surfaces.
Great combination of paint and varnish…
Very nice
beautiful and so classic. well done you have inspired us
You and your husband are wonderful recyclist! There is no telling how much a new, real wood dresser of that quality would cost these days. It is absolutely wonderful! Plus, to get a dresser with that much drawer space would have cost a fortune! You knocked that one out of the park! Bravo!
FYI… the bookshelves are IKEA Spice Racks … $3.99 ea. Awesome idea !!
Did you paint the drawer handles? what color?

The couple — natives of Emden, Germany — emigrated to the U.S. with their daughter, Minnie, and sons George and Will.

How can make better use of my living room?
My home started out as a fairly traditional 2-story colonial -- small front hallway, dining room on one side, living room on the other, kitchen in back of the dining room. Over the years we've added on a family room, knocked down walls and re-purposed our living spaces (the dining room is now a "gathering room" adjacent to the kitchen; the original den is now the dining area), but our living room remains as it was, visually separated from our other living spaces, and virtually unused.
It LOOKS like a living room because of how it's furnished, but it's certainly not used in that way. I should mention that the living room is separated from the dining area by a 5-foot wide opening that has French doors which can be kept open if we so choose. We can even remove those doors if it makes sense to do so.
Without any further renovating, how can I make better use of my living room, which accounts for about 20% of my living space on the first floor? Do I repurpose it? Do I figure out a way to draw people in? Do I do something else? TIA for your suggestions.
I'd start by looking at the whole house and how you use each room. Then I'd look at what you want to do in your house and how easy/difficult it is to do each activity.
It sounds to me as though you have done a lot of work to make the house work for you--you now have a combined gathering space and kitchen, you've made the den into a dining room.
What else do you need?
If you have small children, the living room could become a playroom. Or homework room. Or hangout for teenagers--their own space, but close enough to kitchen and other places the adults are for some supervision.
Do you need a quiet, grown-up space away from the kids? This room could become your own personal retreat from the rest of the family. You could set it up so that you can invite friends over for a cup of tea there, or a game night.
The living room could also become a library, if you have a lot of books. Add in bookshelves, a desk and comfy reading chairs.
Or it could become rehearsal space for your rock band.
Or a hobby and craft space, if you like to quilt or sew or paint or whatever.
Or take all the furniture out and make it a yoga studio.
Don't think of it as a living room. Think of it as a space where you can do whatever you want to do.

What Camlan said.
If I were in your situation, it would be a reading room. Shelves full of books and pictures, two (only two) comfortable chairs, great lamps, an ottoman and a table for a place to put my drink. Some floor stand candle holders so that sometimes I could just go in there, light the candles and be in peace. Maybe a charging station for my kindle. If I had some room left over, I'd put a game table and chairs in there.
A few years ago I would have made it into a game room. Foosball table, pool table or air hockey table. Some barstools with backs on them for people to watch the game.
Or you could make it into whatever special, indulgent style you like. Like a frilly pink room with blush walls, cream furniture, curtains with cabbage roses, coffee table with a china tea set on it.
If my husband was a hunter who liked stuffed deer heads, I'd paint the walls green and hang all his taxidermy in there and put some comfy big chairs in there.
What a great situation you have! Have fun with it.
Thanks camlan and daisyinga! I'm liking the idea of making it into a reading room/library/office. A couple of comfy leather chairs, a couple of ottomans, a throw blanket for chilly days, a writing table... it's starting to come together for me. And what I especially like about this idea is that I can take the upholstered furniture from that room, which is practically unused, and use it in my family room. I'll need help with "decorator touches" but I'm beginning to get a vision of what's possible. Thanks, again!

I think a lot depends upon the layout of the house. If the living room is right near the entry, I probably wouldn't want it to be a craft room or gym or something. But a library -- well, that's a living room with bookshelves and maybe a desk, right? Perfect.
Depending upon how you entertain and how big and how formal your den that became dining area is, and especially if it's your casual dining area, my first instinct would be to make the living room a dining room.
We repurposed most of the first floor of the house we are in now. An exercise room (which had formerly been a bedroom and office, and before that the original kitchen and dining room) became a library. The living room became a formal dining room, and a little office became a little sort of parlor-sized living room. (There was already a very big family room.) We realized that we did use our old living room, but rarely more than the middle of it. We haven't missed a big one. But it is nice to have a space that's always clean and ready to talk quietly with company; it doesn't need to be big.

My Ego, actually I had no desire to raid until some old friends approached me and asked me if I wanted to play again, I gave them my restrictions for raiding they agreed and I moved over. If you ask most people I am actually quite friendly to those who don't have chips on their shoulders and slander TG at every chance they get.
I actually looked it up manually on wowprogress and armory. He wasn't showing up on any sites as xferred yet, and I was bored.
Orly? I thought you were just being a @%#! just for the sake of being a @%#!. My bad. I have nothing against TG personally, they seemed like a very stellar guild, and Wallhacks constantly popped into Mumble when I was in Adelante.

Just ripped up pavers--steps to grass & flagstones?
Hi Folks,
We just pulled up brick pavers from our backyard. They popped right up, so I don't think there was any mortar involved.
Underneath it was a bit gravelly and sandy. Here's a close up, for what it's worth:
I'm sure they dirt is also very compacted--those pavers were there for close to a decade.
So we want it to look like this eventually:
We're wondering if we need to rototill, or just hoe. We have some high quality dirt to spread thinly, but we're hoping that we don't need a ton of it. What do you think?
What steps would you recommend?
Just curious as to why the pavers were lifted up in the first place.
I have a tight set un-mortared brick patio that's held up for 60 years so far. I might pull an errant weed or two occasionally, but I'm not tripping over heaves or uneven spots, weed whacking or clipping around lots of edges - or hop scotching from paver to paver as your third photo shows. I suspect I'm older than you and I do know I'm not as sure footed as I once was.
Obviously, I can't offer suggestions as to laying stones or the amount of dirt needed. I'm quite surprised no one has chimed in so far.
10 years is nothing next to Duluth's 60 and our 30+, but you are probably right about that soil being compacted. If the job was properly done, the area was tamped before the first stone was laid.
You are going to have to do something to loosen that soil, and, depending on the soil, may well need a ton of good quality soil - spread it thinly and your turf will have a shallow root system susceptible to every stress. A perfect scenario for weeds.
Test the soil first: pH, nutrients and composition (percentage of sand, clay, silt, organic matter). Choose a turfgrass suitable for the location - consider amount of sun, water, traffic (with a walkway running through it, probably something that can take a good deal of foot traffic ... you know feet won't always land on the stepping stones) and the amount of maintenance (irrigation, fertilizing, pest/disease control) you are willing to invest. Then amend the soil according to the chosen grass's needs.
You can rototill, but by experience I learned it takes a lot of work to break up and level out all the clumps, and if you don't you'll end up with a lumpy lawn. An easier option, though probably not desirable for that location, is the lasagne technique: layering compost ingredients right on top of the compacted, poor soil and letting the soil organisms do the work for you over the next couple to several months.
This is the best time to renovate or establish a new lawn, so you're on track in that respect.
I hope you like to run the weed eater. Once the grass is established you will find that each stepping stone will require weed eating to prevent grass from overgrowing them. An endless job. Hope you saved some of those pavers as in time you may want to install a paver sidewalk instead. Also, setting each stone level at the time of installation and keeping it so over the years requires time and attention. Pretty to look at landscaping feature which requires additional maintenance.
Thanks for the responses. We ripped up the pavers because they were actually already uneven (there used to be a nearby tree) and needed a lot of weeding. Additionally it was the wrong place for a patio-type area. It made that zone hot, dusty, and uncomfortable, when it should be a pleasant walk to get to the real deck midway in the yard. We also just didn't like the aesthetics.
My husband has assured me that he'll take care of all the edging. We're not fans of razor-straight edges, so we likely don't have the same standards as some of you. We'll likely clean it up thoroughly a couple of times a year and otherwise just let it go. We like a wilder look, as opposed to super-"built" hardscaping.
So to the soil: I did some additional investigation, and it appears that the top few inches are a sandy mix of soil and gravel. (The soil test is a good idea, although my OH is rather antsy about this project.) I think you're right that just layering the better soil on top would lead to poor root quality. The lasagna method doesn't seem like a good plan here, as this is near the house and we have a lot of critters trying to get into our compost. We do have good soil and a lot of compost prepared--what would you recommend we do with it, short of rototilling, to avoid the shallow rooting problem? Just hoe it in with the first few inches and let the "soil organisms" do their thing?
Also, someone on the lawn forum suggested we apply a dilute clear shampoo solution to the area, but he didn't come back when I asked him what the purpose of that was. Anyone have an explanation?
For heavy rocks in clay soil, it works to just dig out a hole, and place the rock even with the soil. They stay put remarkably well. They aren't a tripping hazard that way, and the mower just goes over them. However, the grass can just grow over them also. So if the rocks aren't going to be totally covered with grass, they have to be cleared out regularly. That's your maintenance, and it is fussy, hand and knees work.
For a walk the length of what you are talking about, this is probably going to be at least a day's job every time it is done. Much, much lower maintenance to either have a grass path through the lawn, or a paver path.
It was a lot of pavement for that setting, I can understand the undesirable effects, especially if tree roots lifted some of the pavers.
Except for nutritional analysis, your soil testing will be a snap:
1. For pH, check with the local office of your State Cooperative Extension; they usually do a pH test while you wait, free of charge ... and will tell you what and how much to add to adjust if necessary. Soil for turfgrasses should be in the 6.0 (preferably 6.5) to 7.0 range.
2. For soil composition, use the jar test. If you have children, they'd love to help and watch the results. Take a clean, straight-sided jar (mayonnaise, Mason, etc.) and fill about halfway with your soil. Fill almost to the top with water. Add a drop or two of dish washing liquid. Screw on the top securely. Shake to mix thoroughly, then set it down. You will see the sand begin to settle out immediately. Silt will settle next, and may take an hour or so to settle out. Clay will take the longest to settle out, several hours possibly. Organic matter will float or settle out last. You will clearly see the proportions of each component of your soil.
3. As for nutrient analysis, the test kits available in garden centers will give reasonably good results if used correctly. Sending a soil sample off to your extension service soil lab would give you more accurate results, but that can take several weeks for results and probably not necessary in this case.
Clay has minerals, but tends to compact, resulting in poor drainage. Sand makes for good drainage, sometimes too good, taking any fertilizer with it, resulting in a nutrient-poor, dry soil. Turfgrasses are not happy in either situation. Organic matter will lighten clay soil to help with drainage and aeration (plants get oxygen through their roots), and will improve the water and nutrient holding capacity of a sandy soil.
Turfgrasses need a minimum of 4" good topsoil, preferably more. 8" would be better. The deeper the topsoil, the deeper the roots can grow and the more resilient your grass plants will be.
Check to see if the soil in this area is like the soil in the rest of your yard. It is common practice when laying a walk or patio to dig out some soil and replace with gravel and then sand for a good base. If there is a hardpan of compacted clay beneath the sand and gravel, you could have drainage issues.
I have no idea what the dilute clear shampoo solution is supposed to do - would love to know if you ever find out.
It looks like you are already well into gardening, so probably know the importance of good soil and a healthy, diverse population of soil organisms. Doing the prep correctly now will save time and effort in the long run.
All the articles I read (from educational institutions) note that surfactants can be an effective remedy for poor infiltration if the soil is hydrophobic (water-repellent) but not in the case of compacted soils. So I still don't understand the recommendation for a surfactant in this case.
If you want a good healthy lawn that does not require excessive amounts of both fertilizer and water and that does not immediately turn to weeds, take the time to develop a good, deep seed bed. That means at least 6-8" of loose, organically rich and well drained soil. You could add 6-8" over the top of your existing soil but that may very well raise the grade too high, not to mention the expense of that much additional soil.
Ideally you need to loosen the current soil down to about 4-6 inches and bring in another 2-3 inches of amended garden soil. Rototilling is hard to avoid in these circumstances, as you need to blend the two soil types. Then rake to grade and seed, hydroseed or lay sod. The same preparation is required regardless of how the lawn is installed.
This is one of those situations where taking shortcuts in either time/labor or investment is just not worth it. Do it right the first time as you cannot go back to correct (without starting over from scratch) and you will be struggling with weeds, water and fertilizer from now on.
The subject of surfactants and compacted soils has come up for discussion again. Speaking from personal experience, I began using non-ionic soap surfactants for this type of situation over 30 years ago. Much of my work was associated with construction lands that had been heavily compacted by panning with heavy equipment. When a soil is compacted it does become hydrophobic. Also, a discussion with someone working with Arnold Palmer who was attempting to get a Scottish golf course whipped quickly into shape for a major tournament indicated that surfactants had helped greatly to improve poor draining, compacted golf greens and fairways. I have used it ever since and these days almost every horticultural spray has a surfactant included, used as a 'sticker' as do many of our food stuffs.
For easy application I use Method dish washing soap (from Target. It does not include a lot of additives) poured full strength in hose end container. Set dial on 3 tablespoons per gallon and spray compacted areas. Also works sprayed on those pesky non draining spots around the yard several times a year for those dealing with that type of situation.
Thanks everyone for your input! This is very interesting information. I did want to add what the other posted wrote in the lawn care forum:
Posted by dchall_san_antonio 8 San Antonio (My Page) on Thu, Aug 29, 13 at 21:26
I did not develop the shampoo treatment. In fact I developed another technique to soften soil that has been successful for many people who tried it. However, the surfactant works much faster and, I dare say, better. Surfactants have been available for a long time to soften soils. One or more of the gurus on another forum tried them and found they worked. The formula was reverse engineered and the ingredients sourced on eBay. The new formula was tried and found successful by everyone who tried it. I was not up for buying a lifetime supply of soap for my garage, so I tried it with baby shampoo. It worked just as well for me as it did for the others. Here's the theory.
The soap is a surfactant that allows water to penetrate deeper into the soil where the temperatures are much cooler than at the surface. Down there the moisture levels will remain more constant once damp due to less evaporation. When the soil is continually moist like that, then you have the perfect conditions for increasing the population and size of the beneficial fungi that live in the soil. That process only takes a few days to get going really well. Then if you repeat the shampoo it reinforces the fungal growth and, as they say in Great Britain, Bob's your uncle. You should not have hard soil again for months or years. I tried it in 2011 and my soil still gets soft when it is irrigated. If you try shampoo, you can use any shampoo that you can see through. Cloudy shampoos have conditioners in them that interfere with the process. And don't use dish soap because it is antibacterial these days. Back when Jerry Baker was selling his ideas, there was no antibacterial dish soap.
We spent the weekend tilling the soil by shovel and adding in compost, garden soil, and some fertilizer. We don't have a way to spray the detergent, but we'll see if we can figure something out. Although did we mess up by amending first?

With all due respect, because I very much respect you GS, holding this tweaks app back on xda is only going to fragment this community even more. This is just something we don't need.
However, I completely understand your reasoning though. I just hope you can overlook this because there are those of us who very much care and are trying to make this a better place. In the end though, it is entirely your decision to make.

Legg Mason Inc.
) experienced a slight reduction in its May 2012 assets under
management (AUM) compared to the prior month. The fall was driven
by decreases in equity and fixed income AUM, which offset the rise
in liquidity AUM.
Legg Mason's preliminary month-end AUM came in at $627.4
billion, down 1.9% from the prior month. The company's equity AUM
as of May 2012 declined 8.2% from the prior month to $146.3
billion. Also, fixed income AUM inched down 0.5% to $357.9
The fall in equity AUM as well as fixed income AUM, resulted in
a decreased long-term AUM of $504.2 billion compared with $519.0
billion in the prior month. However, liquidity assets, which are
convertible into cash, grew 2.4% to $123.2 billion from $120.3
billion at the end of April 2012.
Quarterly Performance
As of March 31, 2012, Legg Mason's AUM was $643.3 billion, up
2.6% sequentially from $627.0 billion as of December 31, 2011,
driven by market appreciation of $24.4 billion, partially offset by
net client outflows of $4.9 billion and dispositions of $3.2
Fixed income represented 55% of consolidated AUM as of March 31,
2012, while liquidity and equity represented 19% and 26%,
During the quarter, Legg Mason's fixed income outflows were
approximately $2.8 billion and equity outflows were $4.9 billion.
However, liquidity inflows were $2.8 billion. Average AUM was
$634.9 billion, up 2.1% from $622.0 billion in the prior
Peer Performance
One of Legg Mason's peers,
Invesco Ltd.
), announced a 5.4% decline in its preliminary month-end AUM for
the month of May 2012. The company's AUM for the reported month was
$632.1 billion compared with $668.4 billion at the end of April
Invesco's May AUM decline resulted from market depreciation,
long-term net outflows and unfavorable foreign exchange worth $7.1
billion. Total long-term outflows were largely driven by Passive
outflows from the PowerShares DB and PowerShares QQQ products, as
well as a stable value client termination reported in Active fixed
Further, another peer,
Franklin Resources Inc.
) witnessed a fall in its preliminary month-end AUM for May 2012.
The company reported preliminary AUM of $683.5 billion for its
subsidiaries, reflecting 5.9% decrease from $726.4 billion as of
April 30, 2012.
We believe Legg Mason has the potential to perform better than
its peers in the long run, given its varied product mix and
leverage to the changing demographics in the market. However, in
the near term, assets outflows will remain a significant headwind.
With restructuring initiatives and cost-curtailing measures, we
expect operating leverage to improve, and dividend payments to
continue inspiring investors' confidence in the stock.

I don't want to heat the green house and I haven't got any big window sills, I'm in South Wales and the outside temp has been around 4-9c in the day ?
Any thoughts ?
thank you
Thanks Verdun, I've lost a few begonias after discovering they were full of holes but the blooming things I have them drying out in the corner of the green house, is there anything i can do to the tubers before potting them on to ensure they are bug free ? would washing them be sufficient ?
I have four window boxes and they gave destroyed all of my plants from the bottom up, I think tipping them out on to sone huge trays and letting the birds have a feast but I'm not sure if it's worth putting the compost back in or should I start again ? If I tip them on to the veg patch will it do future planting any harm?
If you can't find any peat-free, ask for it. Consumer demand is the single most powerful way to get retailers and manufacturers to change their ways.
More than 94 per cent of the UK's lowland peat bogs have been destroyed or damaged, and a wealth of wildlife along with it. Bogs take thousands of years to form and are home to all sorts of colourful plants, from the signature sphagnum to carnivorous sundew, bladderwort, bog myrtle and cotton grass (which isn't really a grass at all!). They provide an environment for rare dragonflies, spiders and other invertebrates and a feeding ground for birds such as the golden plover, meadow pipits and skylarks.
These days bogs are also of interest because they act as stores of carbon dioxide, and harvesting them releases it into the atmosphere.
You can find out what some of the major retailers offer in the way of peat-free composts in The Wildlife Trusts' leaflet For Peat's Sake.
I bought verve peat free compost and peat free grow bags this year - major disaster I will never buy it again it's so dry and and course with very little nutrient content I've lost lots of plants and lots of plants that just won't grow, who keeps there B&Q receipts and his on earth would you go about complaining ? Invite the manger to inspect your green house ! I want to be environmentally friendly and stay peat free
Thanks guys
