Why return? To 'show solidarity'
BOSTON -- The downtown streets are full of uniforms. There are six, eight, 10 police officers to a long city block, wearing neon green vests. National Guard troops patrol in camouflage. Agents for the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, whose job it is to solve the puzzle of bomb construction and trace scraps of wire and metal to the sick minds who put them together, have been occasionally visible in their all-business navy blue windbreakers.
But with all due respect to the guardians of public safety, the biggest army on the sidewalks Tuesday, less than 24 hours after the terrible attack on the Boston Marathon, was dressed in bright royal blue and gold, the colors of the Boston Athletic Association. The runners could have disguised themselves in civilian gear, but they wore their participants' jackets. They wanted people to know who they were.
It was beautiful here in Back Bay, a few degrees warmer than Monday's edge-of-raw, with sun and a light wind. A strolling saxophonist played "Over The Rainbow" and "The Star-Spangled Banner." It felt like another day off, with an undertow of reflection and sadness.
Some were stopped literally yards from the line, pushed forcefully off the course by police who had gone from vigilance to war readiness in an instant. Kristen McGuinness was a block away from the first blast, and she didn't need convincing. She heard the bomb detonate and saw the smoke billow skyward. Her first thought was not about crossing the finish herself, but about her husband and two children sitting in the VIP area parallel with the explosion.
"Words can't express," McGuinness said. But Tuesday, she tried. She saw a boy the age of her own son lying mutilated in the street and felt instinctively that he was dead. She tapped frantically on her cell phone, unable to get through to her husband. "Strangers were helping strangers," she said, and a stranger saw her distress and let her use his phone. She got through and learned they were safe, but it took another hour for them to wend their way back to each other through the maze of crime-scene tape and closed streets.
"I went from an ultimate high to -- it was supposed to be the best day of my life, and it was the worst. All I did was pray and pray, and a lot of it."
But why make the trek downtown to pick up her medal? Why cherish any reminder?
"Like many, McGuinness was running for someone other than herself. She raised $4,000 for the Boys and Girls Club of Newton (Mass.) on Monday. She didn't get an official finishing time, but she feels as if she did what she set out to do whether or not there is digital proof. And she said she will do it again. "This won't stop me," she said. "Will I bring my husband and kids to meet me at the finish line? Probably not."
This won't stop me. Will I bring my husband and kids to meet me at the finish line? Probably not." -- Kristen McGuinness
Granted, it was a decidedly unscientific survey, but none of the other dozen runners who stopped and talked said anything other than this: I will be back. No question. Next year. As long as I qualify. "Just to show solidarity," said Rodney Lobato, 47, of San Diego, who finished his third Boston Marathon before the bombs went off but was in the medical tent being treated for dehydration when the first gravely wounded victims were wheeled in. His friends Svetlana Yesaulova (a six-time Boston finisher), Mark Cullivan (two) and Matt Olson (one) all nodded in agreement.
Christian Breen, a restaurant owner from Salem, N.H., was at Mile 25 when a call beeped through the music on his smartphone. Anyone who knew him knew he was running his first marathon, so he knew it must be important; it was a family member at the finish who relayed terrible news. He saw a medical tent and stepped off the course. It was an unceremonious end to a year of training, but Breen said he feels the same sense of accomplishment. "I didn't do the finish line, but I had the experience," he said. "There's no way I wouldn't do it again. It shows that no matter what, we have a goal."
Kristina Scaviola of Dracut, Mass., said she wasn't supposed to run Monday. In fact, she alternated running and walking because of a hairline stress fracture in her femur that had kept her from training properly for the two months leading up to her first Boston Marathon. She raced with her cell phone and cab fare in her pocket just in case she couldn't finish. Her husband took a picture of her smiling and waving jubilantly from the crest of Heartbreak Hill. The hardest part was over, or so she thought. "It was a magical race until the very end," she said.
Then she more than made up for that last six-tenths of a mile to the finish. She walked and walked, first a circuitous route around the cordoned-off crime scene, then across the river to a subway stop in Cambridge. She was spared the sight of any gore, but the images she saw later will not fade easily.
Yet Scaviola walked out of The Castle on Tuesday with her medal around her neck and her wrinkled bib number (#14114) clutched in one hand and every intention of returning.
"I'm shocked they would pick our Boston Marathon," she said. "Why a marathon? Runners are peaceful, happy people who put themselves through all kinds of torture.
"Marathons are a triumphant experience, and there's a high point and a low point no matter how fit you are. I feel terrible for people who were doing their first marathon. I'm not upset I didn't finish. I proved to myself I could do it."
And then she and her husband walked on, putting one foot in front of the other, like all of Boston, in and out of uniform.

Searching for Duckweed
I'm a student at my county's Agriculture Science & Technology college. For a project I have decided to grow and experiment with a hydrophyte. I'm looking to buy a small amount of the Giant Duckweed (Spirodela Polyrrhiza) as I have been unable to find any natural resources of it in any of my local waters. If you have any of this particular Duckweed and wouldn't mind selling me a portion of it, please let me know.
There are indeed. Lemna minor, for instance, is a smaller duckweed, and previously known as Lemna major, later renamed Spirodela Polyrrhiza, is a considerably larger type of duckweed.
I could name you the specific dimensions and act like a know it all, but you would be better off punching in "Duckweed" into Google search and you'll get all the information you like on the several different types of Duckweeds.
This site ships small amounts, but recommends you check with your state's laws about importing 'weeds' into Arizona.
Here is a link that might be useful: Various pond plants for sale via internet
Does your college have a greenhouse? If so, they may have an aquatic plant display, which often include duckweeds and Azolla (either intentionally or as hitchhikers). If not, I would suggest contacting any nearby university greenhouse (try going through their botany and/or horticulture department). Let them know you are a student and are looking for this particular species. People at universities and colleges are usually great at helping out students, even if they aren't at the same school. You can also contact a public botanic garden with the same question.
Thank you for the website recommendation Kayjones, I've also already researched the Lemna species and found that they have not been deemed a noxious weed here in AZ. And thank you nativeplanter for the idea on the local universities, i hadn't thought to check their Horticulture programs yet. Also the only duckweed at my college's greenhouse is the Lemna minor i made into my last semesters Project (which i had to go find somewhere else too) so that wont be much help.
hmmm...I meant to post this earlier.
Have you checked with the DNR? I imagine if you can find a helpful employee there, they can tell you of a source on a DNR property, and maybe give you permission to collect enough for your project.
Here is a link that might be useful: Arizona Dept of Natural Resources.
Thats kind of you Joe. I'm still searching for Giant duckweed and would appreciate any help that can be offered. My spring semester has recently started however i have plenty of time to wait for warm weather and for the dormant duckweeds to resurface again. Please keep me updated on when your particular waters warm up and might be able to obtain some DW for me! Thanks.
can anyone help me find a pond/lake where duckweed is growing in or near showlow arizona or at the verry least how to go about lookin that up online been trying to find the answer to that question for hours and it driveing me crazy any help would be much appreciated -thanks-
Welcome to Garden Web!
Did you read the posts above?
Do you know what type of duckweed you are looking for?
Hid you check out the link I provided above to Arizona Dept of Natural Resources?
Did you check out the link above to "Various pond plants for sale via internet"?
I'm assuming you want to acquire some, as opposed to maybe just taking pics of it. Right?

Sept. 10, 2010
Event: Dr. Verner Moeller, a top international scholar at Denmark's Aarhus University, will be the guest speaker at The University of Texas at Austin's first McCraw Lecture of 2010-11. Moeller will discuss doping and the media in elite sports, focusing on whether or not media allegations that seven-time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has used performance-enhancing drugs to boost his physiological capacity have been fair and balanced.
When: Noon to 1 p.m., Friday, Sept. 17
Where: Bellmont Hall, room 328. Bellmont is on the west side of Darrell K Royal-Texas Memorial Stadium.
Background: Moeller, a professor in the Department of Sport Science at Aarhus University, has written or co-authored several books on drugs and sports, including "Elite Sport, Doping and Public Policy," "The Doping Devil" and "The Essence of Sport." He has lectured at academic gatherings throughout Europe and is regularly engaged by the media as Denmark's leading public intellectual on doping in the sports world.
"The issue of athletes using performance-enhancing drugs is a murky area that is characterized by rumor, innuendo and whispering campaigns," said Mike Cramer, director of the Texas Program in Sports and Media. "Appropriate media response and reporting about the issues is a challenge to even the most ethical journalist. Dr. Moeller's comments should present an interesting, thought-provoking perspective on a fascinating subject."
Moeller is in the U.S. teaching a course at George Mason University and will be at The University of Texas at Austin for several days, speaking and meeting with students and faculty.
"When we heard that Dr. Moeller would be in the country for over a month, we decided to try to bring him to the campus so that our students would have an opportunity to interact with an authority on a subject so much in the news these days," said Dr. Jan Todd, co-director of the Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports. "Lance Armstrong seems to be a particularly compelling topic, and rumors about his drug use persist even though he has never been banned by his sports federation for testing positive."
The Sept. 17 McCraw Lecture is co-sponsored by the Stark Center for Physical Culture and Sports, the College of Communication's Texas Program in Sports and Media and the College of Education's Department of Kinesiology and Health Education. The McCraw Lecture is free and open to the public. Refreshments will be served shortly before the lecture begins.
For more information, contact: Kay Randall, College of Education, 512 471 6033.

Achieve Superior Digital Experiences with Oracle AppAdvantage
Companies that prioritize the customer experience generate 60 percent higher profits than their competitors, research shows. And in today's socially enabled, multichannel online world, users are expecting more and more from those experiences. They want easy, anywhere access to business activities and information—and they don't want to wait.
"Yet many companies that want to deliver superior digital experiences often find themselves frustrated by the complexity involved in integrating web content management systems with enterprise systems of record," says Michael Snow, senior principal product marketing director, Oracle WebCenter.
In response, companies relying on Oracle Applications are turning to the Oracle AppAdvantage program for help building the kind of flexible, comprehensive platform needed to drive multichannel digital experiences.
Consistent, Integrated Online Experiences
Organizations often add functionality to their applications in a piecemeal fashion, resulting in inconsistent customizations, a lack of standardization, and shadow management processes that are based on inefficient e-mails, spreadsheets, and manual workarounds.
With the Oracle AppAdvantage program, they can avoid these pitfalls. By providing access to Oracle Fusion Middleware technologies, the #1 applications infrastructure foundation, the program enables the rapid uptake of new technology without impacting those applications' development lifecycles. That means companies that want to drive superior digital experiences can quickly and securely harness Oracle WebCenter solutions to create relevant, interactive, multichannel digital experiences.
Oracle AppAdvantage at Work
Consider Pella Corporation—a privately held manufacturing company with 6,000 employees. Pella uses Oracle WebCenter Sites as the foundation for a real-time appointment-scheduling application that is simple and easy for customers to use.
Using the technologies and principles behind Oracle AppAdvantage, the company easily pulls data from multiple applications via Oracle SOA Suite and presents it in a self-service Oracle WebCenter portal. As a result, the Pella sales team and dealers have an integrated view of each customer and can extend the value of the personalized digital experience to in-person customer appointments.
Find out how Oracle AppAdvantage, powered by Oracle Fusion Middleware, can help your organization maximize the value of your enterprise applications.

Gallery: READER TIP: Andrea Salvini's Lush Green Walled Sustainable Nei...
New York-based architect Andrea Salvini's latest project is a lush green, mixed-use residential development on nearly 12 acres in the province of Caserta, Italy. Called simply "The Sustainable Neighborhood", the design and site plan directly reflect the needs of this tightly knit community in which environmental regulations are becoming increasingly important. We particularly love the neighborhood's verdant living walls, which were inspired by French botanist Patrick Blanc's designs and Jean Nouvel's Musae du Quai Branly in Paris.
Thirteen buildings are planned to be constructed on the site, while preserving existing public amenities and green areas. Commercial and retail spaces on the ground floors of each building would enhance the social life of the residents, creating opportunities for interaction based on shopping and business.
Salvini also included innovative sun-louver shades on each balcony giving tenants the ability to regulate sunlight (and therefore heat) inside their apartments, as the region's temperatures can become swelteringly hot during summer months.

"Great place to learn "
- Comp & Benefits
- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Culture & Values
- Career Opportunities
I worked at Atkins as an intern (less than a year)Pros
They use an incredibly high number of softwares and they use all of them equally. As a fresh graduate, although I was only able to stick around for a short while due to the decline in oil prices, I managed to learn many valuable skills. I've never seen a company use as many softwares as Atkins. Keep in mind that I'm speaking in regards to their consultancy that caters to the energy sector- I am unaware of how their other offices operate.Cons
Management seems to be slow about getting work around the office. I had no control over how much work I had, and there would be times where I simply sat down and did nothing for several hours, or even days at a time, while my colleagues were all busy. Management does a lot more of their own work than actual management. Perhaps I disagree with the company philosophy which may be significantly more effective than how traditional businesses run, but from my experience it seemed to favor senior employees and leave new ones on the back burner.Advice to ManagementAdvice
People were being hired for a string of 6 or so months, even 2 months into the market crash. There was not enough work for all of these people. Should definitely consider slowing down the hiring process if the work is as heavily tied to the economy as it seems to be.Doesn't RecommendNegative Outlook

Interview Difficulty
3 people found this helpfulApplication Details
I applied online. The process took 4+ months – interviewed at Atkins in January 2015.Interview Details
I have applied through their career website, answering to several background, attitude and motivation questions.
After a week, I have been sent a link to complete an online assessment, both numerical and text comprehension. The test lasts about an hour and it requires cold thinking, given the time pressure. Its result has been sent to me within one day and, being positive, my application moved forward.
After some other two months, I got a phone call from the graduate office to arrange a first skype interview. This one has been very relaxed and merely about their and mine expectations, as well as on my academic/professional background and on the features of the graduate programme.
Eventually, after a positive answer to the skype interview, I have been invited to the Epsom HQ and I have had the "short version" of their standard assessment interview: after a small talk, I was given some technical problems to solve (most of them where very basic, while some other structural problems were a little tricky) in 45 minutes, then I had to discuss my answers (both wrong and correct) with two examiner and, eventually, I had to write a letter of expropriation as if i were the project manager. They let me know the result of this last interview in one week and promptly made their offer.Interview Questions
Negotiation DetailsI negotiated the starting day for the contract, as i was pleased with the rest of their offerAccepted OfferPositive ExperienceDifficult Interview
- I would pay much attention to the first two steps of the recruitment process: take your time to answer to the motivation and background questions and take some example tests before trying the online assessment.
For the tech interview, just read again the basics of civil engineering, study a little bit of structure analysis and, obviously, be well prepared in your area of expertise. Answer Question

My First Year With SWC's - Notes From A Complete Beginner
I thought it might be helpful for those considering gardening in SWCs if I posted my results.
First, a little background:
1. I am located in central Wisconsin, zone 4b. The 2009 growing season here has been brutal. A very cool spring prevented me from putting my plants out until June 6th. This was exasperated by a very dry spring and then a summer that was equally dry except for those periods when it rained for 3 days straight and was hot and humid before and afterward. This occurred about two times per month.
2. Because I am gone frequently during the summer, I set up automated watering system with a timer and drip irrigation set to come on twice a day for 15 minutes each time. This year, it was probably a godsend to have this since it was unusually hot and dry.
3. I used the double 3-gal and 5-gal bucket system since I can purchase them for 50 cents a piece locally. I used ½" PVC for the fill tubes (which I already had), 6 oz. yogurt cups or 24 oz. cottage cheese containers (which I already had) for the wicking basket that had slits cut along the sides. Better grade landscape fabric was laid in the bottom of the upper bucket to prevent excess potting mix from dropping into the reservoir bucket.
4. I started all my plants from seed, except for the strawberries which I obtained through a mail-order source.
5. Since I knew little to nothing about "soil-less" mixes or growing in containers, I opted to follow the information contained in Ed SmithÂs publication entitled Incredible Vegetables From Self-Watering Containers. The mix consisted of peat moss, perlite and compost. I added his recommended "food" of Blood Meal, Phosphate, Greensand and Azomite. I also added powdered egg shells to help prevent blossom-end rot.
6. I covered each container with a double layer of landscape grade weed mat and secured with butcherÂs twine which acted like a mulch cover.
7. At this point in the season, I am checking PH and soil moisture and have posted that information per plant. My meter registers moisture as 0-3.5=Dry; 3.5-7.5=Ideal; 7.5-10=Wet
The Plants:
Green Beans
Hot Peppers
Green Peppers
Per plant results:
STRAWBERRIES (3-gal double SWCÂs with 5 plants per bucket)
In spite of their late start, with a little early pinching, the plants produced a small, sweet crop. They have quadrupled in size over this growing season and although they slowed production during the hottest months, they have gone into their 2nd full crop production for the fall. Very pleased with the taste of TriStar.
PH: Ideal  5.8-6.2 Actual - 7.5
Soil Mositure: 10+
Comments: The plants are doing exceptionally well, although I am disturbed by the excessive soil moisture. PH to be corrected next year since this level to too alkaline.
GREEN BEANS (5-gal double SWCÂs with 3 plants per bucket)
I planted two varieties, Improved Tendergreen and Bush Blue Lake and they are thriving! I think the Blue Lake are a bit sweeter and more tender than Tendergreen, but the production has been non-stop.
PH: Ideal  5.0-6.5 Actual - 6.5
Soil Moisture: 8
Comments: While the soil moisture is a bit high, the beans are doing very well.
EGGPLANT (5-gal double SWCÂs with 1 plant per bucket)
The plants have exceeded my expectations with production. I selected Rosa Bianca and it has been very prolific. Plants are very sturdy as well as beautiful to look at.
PH: Ideal  5.5-6.8 Actual - 7
Soil Moisture: 5
Comments: Eggplants DO seem very well suited to container growing, but PH will be adjusted next year.
HOT PEPPERS (5-gal double SWCÂs with 2 plants per bucket)
The Hungarian Hot Wax has been producing peppers as fast as I can pick them! Taste excellent.
PH: Ideal  5.5-7.5 Actual - 7
Soil Moisture: 6
GREEN PEPPERS (5-gal double SWCÂs with 1 plant per bucket)
California Wonder was a variety I grew many years ago in my in-ground garden and I was always pleased with it. It also seems to be very well suited to container growing. Each plant produced many medium to large sized peppers with a great taste.
PH: Ideal  5.5-7.5 Actual - 7
Soil Moisture: 8
Comments: Like eggplants, peppers do really well in containers. I think the moisture of the soil is too high although it hasnÂt created any issues with the plant as far as I can tell right now.
ZUCCHINI (5-gal double SWCÂs with 1 plant per bucket)
I am aware that there are some mini-varieties of zucchini that grow better in containers, I opted for Black Zucchini (another hold-over from the in-ground garden days.) I was amazed at how well it grew and how much it produced. Considering it is off the ground, you can easily see when the squash is ready to harvest and the taste was wonderful.
PH: Ideal  6.0-7.5 Actual - 7
Soil Moisture: 5
Comments: Unfortunately, the plant succumbed to powdery mildew and has stopped producing. I will be pulling this plant in the near future.
WATERMELON (5-gal double SWCÂs with 1 plant per bucket)
I hate to admit it, but I was skeptical of growing watermelons in containers. I only grew one as an experiment, but after pinching off lots of little ones, I have a single, nicely-sized melon that will be ready in the next two weeks.
PH: Ideal  6.0-6.8 Actual - 8
Soil Moisture: 5
Comments: I have no idea why the PH is 8. This will have to be corrected with next yearÂs planting. Like my zucchini, the watermelon has been touched with powdery mildew. IÂm hoping that it will hang on until the melon is ripe.
CANTALOUPE (5-gal double SWCÂs with 1 plant per bucket)
Another experiment, but this one was a bit tougher. I have two teeny-weeny melons hanging on for dear life as the plant tries to battle the powdery mildew. The melons are well formed and ÂnettedÂ, but considering their size, I doubt that they will be ripe before the whole plant collapses.
PH: Ideal  Higher than 6.3 Actual - 6.5
Soil Moisture: 7
TOMATOES (5-gal double SWCÂs with 1 plant per bucket)
This was the heartbreak for me. I planted Bloody Butcher, Marglobe, Bonny Best, Rutgers, Stupice and Tommy Toe; all indeterminate except for the Rutgers. None of my Bloody Butcher seedlings survived. Although none of the ripe tomatoes has blossom end rot, every plant was hit with early blight and sadly, I am just left to watch the plant decline with time. While the weather was a definite factor, I will claim most of the responsibility for the failure since I did not add lime to the mix (to counteract the acidity of the peat) nor feed the plants with any regularityÂdefinitely "my badÂ"
However, the plants are producing fruit and I have been harvesting regularly. The Tommy Toe has a nice flavor with balanced acid/sweet taste. The Stupice tomato has been smaller, but has a milder flavor. This variety also has green shoulders. Bonny Best (which showed some resistance to the blight early on) has produced fruit that has been mealy in texture and definitely not my favorite! IÂm still waiting on the Marglobe (which has nice, large fruit and ripening slowly!) and Rutgers, which is a late variety. I have not necessarily noticed a Âwatered-down taste with the tomatoes which has been discussed in this forum. But then again, IÂm just so darned tickled to be picking fresh tomatoes, I probably wouldnÂt have noticed anywayÂ;-)
While the PH on the tomatoes was a decent 6.5 (Ideal  6.4-6.8), I note that the soil moisture at 2" was only 2 and at the deepest level was 7. This confirms that with such a complex root structure, wicking upward against gravity is definitely an issue in keeping the plant sufficiently hydrated.
General Observations:
Fertilizing is definitely something I have to improve upon. In order to get good yields, I know I MUST feed the plants.
I had a lot of compaction of the soil-less mix. This was especially problematic with the tomato plants. In posting queries here, the general consensus seems to be that I should probably eliminate the compost next year.
I think that some of the planters would have done better without the mulch cover, tomatoes being one of them. Perhaps larger chunks of decorative bark would work out better.
Looking Ahead:
For the 2010 growing year, IÂm planning on expanding my container garden to include other vegetables that I didnÂt grow this year, including some root crops. Due to the problems with the tomatoes, IÂm thinking that they should be placed into shallower, but larger containers like the 10-gal Rubbermaid Totes. Considering that the inventor of the commercially market EB specifically designed it to accommodate two tomato plants (within its 29L x 14W x 11H outside dimensions) the success of plants grown in this sized container speaks to this containers ability to provide ample room for the root system as well as being able to deliver nutrients and hydration.
10-gal Rubbermaid Totes dimensions are 24L x 16W x 9H. Since the soil depth for the commercial EB unit is approx 8", using a dual 10-gal system for ONE plant may work just as well, if not better than the commercial EB.
For the record, I have had in-ground gardens for most of my life with just OK results. But due to the amount of work required, I never took much joy in gardening itself. This experiment with SWCÂs has introduced me to a whole new way of gardening that provides me with results that can be measured and improved upon a little at a time. This gives me GREAT joy!!! Although disease was a problem this season, weeds and garden pests were almost non-existent and due to the amazing number of bees the garden has attracted, IÂm inspired to add flowers next year.
All in all, I am pleased with the SWC's performance and would recommend them to anyone. I also want to state that I am happy to be a member of this forum and really appreciate everyoneÂs assistance and patience with me as I learn new things. I hope people who have not had much success with in-ground gardening will find my post helpful.

Donna, I forgot to mention that you may wish to check the alkalinity of your water to see if it is the culprit behind the high pH in some containers.
A lot of the water in Wisconsin is from limestone wells so alkalinity is often quite high even though pH is moderate (7-8). Using this water without acidification will drive up pH in the container over the season.
Thanks for the heads up. I never thought to check my water so I took your suggestion and did just that. It is dead-on '7' so I guess that's good as a 'neutral.'
I'm not sure what the deal is with the high pH. Suffice it to say that this has been a "learning" year.
Again, thank you.
Wow, you tried a lot for a first year!
Interesting that you confirmed what many seem to find that eggplant, peppers, beans do well in containers and some other plants are more challenging.
I used drip system for a couple years, when I traveled alot also. The drip system did cause nutrient leaching big time for me as the reservoir would always overflow. So fertilizing is a major issue.
I'd recommend going with some liquid fertilizers when your home and then use some CRFs when your away. You might want to consider setting up an automatic watering via what Raybo has done or the float valves in the bottom of the containers works well also.
For ultimate simplicity, if you don't care about overflow too much you could put your drip lines directly into your reservoirs. That would minimize the nutrient leaching compared to dripping on the soil surface.
Thanks EG! It doesn't seem like a lot, but I figured why not try a little of the plants I REALLY like :-)
As I said, the drip irrigation system worked really well and when I expand the garden next year, I plan on expanding that also. Although not as 'elegant' as the EB AWS or Raybo's, the water timer helps with the overflow since it only allows water to enter for about 15 mins 2 times per day. I thought about the nutrient leaching and so I did exactly what you suggested by placing the drip hose directly into the fill tube.
The fertilizing...especially over the long-term, was problematic for me mostly because I really didn't think it through enough. The mix I add to the soil at the beginning of the season got the plants off to a great, sturdy start, but about half way through it, I knew I was in trouble.
I'm thinking about burying a small, covered container at the same time I plant the veggies. Then about half way into the season, I'll push aside the large bulk mulch, remove the cover (which will be at ground level), place in a mixture of potting mix and another batch of fertilizer and then see what happens.
I'm not sure it will work, but I much prefer adding the fertilizer to the soil rather than top-down watering. And since minerals are heavier than water, I don't think that a completely soluble fertilizer will give the plants all the extra nutrients they need as they head into their fruit production.
The 'natural' fertilizer formula included in Ed Smith's book was a CRF so that may be all I need (in addition to the extra lime.) What do you think?

And since minerals are heavier than water, I don't think that a completely soluble fertilizer will give the plants all the extra nutrients they need as they head into their fruit production.
I use completely soluble ferts in the reservoir and no ferts in the potting mix itself. Have been for a few years. It works ;)
It's not really ideal with your set up since you have the water on a timer and would never be able to maintain a steady dilution rate, but the moral is those salts will move via diffusion anywhere there is water and it requires no energy for this to occur. The salts will diffuse until an equilibrium is reached throughout the container. In a sense, you can't stop it from occurring.
JaG: Excellent points... Which soluble fertilizer do you use? If I go that route, I would use it when I would be available to monitor the watering rather than depending on the timer. Otherwise, I could set up the drip irrigation to carry the soluble fertilizer to the plants and use the top-down method. This could create its own set of problems however, and I believe that I would also have to water top-down in order to flush out the accumulating salts. Correct?
Donna H.
I use DynaGro Foliage Pro 9-3-6 and Miracle Grow 24-8-16 and DynaGro ProTekt 0-0-3.
This year I skipped the ProTekt altogether because I wanted to see if the 3:1:2 ratio would compromise fruiting for veggies like tomatos. It didn't/hasn't.
If you plan to inject fert into your drip lines, you can just deliver it right to the reservoir, no need to top water.
In terms of flushing the salts, yes, you have to do that in theory, but that was something I tested this year as well. I didn't flush anything. I control the dilution rate in the reservoir at 25% manufacturer recommended rates and mid season increased to 50% for the gourds and a pumpkin in response to some older leaf yellowing, but everything else stayed at 25%.
I am not telling you to never flush the soil just to be safe, just that if you choose a fertilizer ratio that is close to what plants actually use and don't go overboard with the amount, there isn't much left over to accumulate. Also, if you did want to flush, just to be safe, you still don't have to run water from the top down. Keeping in mind that salts are a solute that seeks an equilibrium in water, simply fill the reservoir with nutrient free water and the salts in the soil will dilute into the reservoir. Yes, they will be taken back up into the soil as the plants use the salt in the soil, but it's essentially skipping a fertilization and lowers the overall salt level throughout the container.
This is something I did do 3-4 times during the season. Not for the sake of 'flushing', but out of laziness ;)
Thank you very much for your concise explanation. This clarifies my fogginess on this very subject.
I like the idea of skipping a fertilization to lower the salt level. I think sometimes that people feel better when they over-fertilize, but if I have the opportunity to eat veggies that have been over-fed, I swear I can taste the fertilizer! I will probably run some trials with different methods of delivering fertilizer. That will be the only way to see what works well and what doesn't.
I never thought I'd become an agricultural 'scientist' but I guess I am now!!!
Thank you again for your feedback. I truly appreciate it.
Donna H.
Thanks for posting that skipping ProTekt didn't effect fruiting. I had been wondering about that.
I've never been able to make just solid fertilizers work consistently well in containers, organic ones or chemical CRFs. Now I always use liquid ones as the main source, but usually do put in some CRFs just as backup when I don't keep on top of fertilizing.
Hi Donna,
I too am a newbie, read the same book that you refer to in your post and I was wondering how the organic mix consisting of peat moss, perlite and compost worked for you. I was thinking about trying the same thing for my first SWC attempt.

See your blue on these designs right now!
Recommended Just For You
Customer Raves & Reviews
highly recommend!!
We had Royal Blue instead of the purple as our main color on Winter White paper. They turned out beautifully! The paper was very thick & high quality. We got so many compliments on the uniqueness of them!
Good, but not Great
I wish this design had more to it - it's a really simple design. I wanted a Typography-type invitation on short notice and we decided on this one. The value and pricing are GREAT! I love how you can add your Wedding Colors to make it a little more personal and change out the verbage - Just wish it was a little more unique. I feel like I could have made this on my computer myself.
Love it!!
Love MagnetStreet's products and their packaging is adorable. So fun designing and getting it come in the mail. Service is awesome - so fast! Would definitely order from them again!
We really wanted an invitation that wasn't overly fancy. This was perfect. It came in our wedding colors, and was easy to design, and was exactly what we were looking for. The only downfall was that, because the invites are square, they do cost more to send. Our's were $0.70 each. Overall, we loved them.
Reminds me of...
I loved the Rooftop Invite Suite I ordered. My guest are starting to receive their invites and I am getting so many comments as to how beautiful they are, how they love the picture on the back, and overall excitement. I made my fiancé help me decide on the theme of our invites and he picked this one without looking at any other styles. He said it "reminds him of his favorite movie" and from that moment on everything with the invites was perfect, it matched our wedding color theme of pistachio and champagne, the paper quality was amazing, and everything (invites and inserts) fit perfectly in the included envelopes. I have already referred co-workers and family to MagnetStreet because they have yet to fail me. Thank you so much for the awesome service and great product!
