Tote bin raised beds?!?!?
Hello, this year I am thinking of using 38L plastic tote bins as raised beds. My idea was to cut off the bottoms, and then to dig up a square area of grass, and then fill of the bins with compost and soil and then plant stuff in them. I am new to raised beds so, is my idea good? Will it work? ( I don't want to use wood because I suck at building stuff, lol)
I might use the totes for container gardening, but I'd lean toward something else for raised beds. I think they'd become unstable, break down, with the bottom gone.
If you search "cedar raised bed kit" you can see a lot of things that, per square foot, might beat the totes on price. Home Depot had a 4 foot by 4 foot kit on sale for $40. Assuming you live near a kit seller ... it might not be hard to assemble.
I think it's fine, as long as you know it might not last as much as even the cheap wooden raised beds. Also, I would not know about the plastic stuff in totes without more research, so I might just grow flowers there, not vegetables.
Also, in case height is a stability issue, then maybe you could cut it in half. That way, it adds more stability and you don't need to fill it up as much!
I would use 5-1-1 mix, or potting mix in a tote. The thing is even though the bottom is open there is still the compacting problems to deal with. I tried it with a high sided crate that was 18 inches tall. The plant did great at first. Then when the compaction started it got root bound real bad.
Thank you for answering everyone, I guess I should do more research on the chemicals and stuff. How long do you think these bins would last? I mean if I did them... I will be graduating high school in two years, so really they would only have to last that long.
And also I would be growing edibles, but also some flowers. Mostly tomatoes, various melons and lots of cucumbers ( I bought 12 varieties!!!! ) my concern is that the melons still wouldn't have enough root space, although I would dig the soil beneath the bins
- To me, the thing about using a tote bin with bottom removed is that the four remaining sides may have a hard time holding its rectangular shape, especially if the sides are not thick/strong enough and the walls are tall. The weight of the soil/growing medium inside will push outward and bend or even break the sides.
- Perhaps a better choice for making a "bottomless container raised bed" is something round, like a bucket as pictured below:
Have you considered fabric containers sold by various makers as Smart Pots and the like? They come in all sizes, going from 1 gallon up to 400 gallon. These do have bottoms but because of the wicking property of the material act more like a bottomless raised bed with regard to water retention.
Also, I don't think that they are much more expensive than a plastic tote on a per gallon (or liter) basis.
I'm thinking of going for the nursery style grow bags, white plastic, cheap.

HELLO everyone
I plant veggies in round plastic pots--that the nurseries get there shrubs/ trees in --they are happy to give them away free just to get rid of them-- has worked for me - just put in place before u fill = I used a tote to mix soil==
and hanging planters for flowers
@ mari66, aww your garden is so awesome. :) What I have now decided might work is if I use 5 gallon buckets and then use them as raised beds, by just cutting off the bottom. My question is would the plants roots go down the bucket and into the ground( mainly the melons) would this be more beneficial over just planting them in the ground?
There is a rule (Rule 43) that you can find anything on the internet. Anything you can think of, someone has done it. Growing vetetables in lawns follows that pattern. Every way is out there, and probably has a video.
FWIW, here is a guy who does the "bottomless bucket" thing, but of course as you say, many people do mounds (hole dug and then filled back with soil and compost) as well.
Here is a link that might be useful: The Tomato Race
Well I am learning also
-and need to improvise - I did buy a dollar store oval planter smashed out the bottom -it was like 6-8 inches high and put it few inches down in garden -for flowers - never figured that cheap thing would last well this is 4 yrs
so cutting the bottom -placing it on tilled soil- does work-
THANKS FORTHE IDEA FOR MY BLACK POTS- just getting them ready for this season
Happy planting Mari
so glad to find this site and getting more ideas and since I am cleaning pots to fill for this year --gathering my seedlings and hoping it warms up soon
My cheap plastic plant pot it just starting to crack around the edge-- few pictures I took yest.
would love to see pictures of all your gardens and raised beds-- my little bed is starting to buckle -hope it goes a few
years more
Have a wonderful day -bright and sunny
PS how does one post more than one photo ???

text: Well, I called Monday and did not get Chef's Table. That's how fast it went. But I found it strange that the seating time they wanted for us was 5:15pm for the main dining room. They didn't have any other available times for first seating, and it's odd if Tricia's correct about 5:45pm being the first seating time. I didn't give the dining likes/dislikes yet, so I will call back soon to do that. I'll verify the time, because that doesn't make sense to me.

Spine tingling Ypres

It is the exact location that John McCrae wrote In Flanders Fields. It was in a series of bunkers that were used by the Canadian troops as a hospital. The bunkers have been restored along with a memorial cemetery. At Ypres itself there is a ...
400 flavored beers
... the cute buildings reflected off the water. I saw five white swans swimming along as the sun was setting. The streets weren't that busy and it was really lovely to be alone and just enjoy the place. It was like a fairytale and I can see how it's often described as the northern Venice.
After a few hours of wandering I found a quaint little restaurant on the canal and sat down for the fresh soup of the day. It was tomatoes with vegetables and there was a split second ...
Through Brugge to the North Sea ( in the rain)
I don't know when this trip is over if I will regret spending so little time in cities. I mean, today it was like 90 minutes in Brugge, one of the world's unique, charming cities. Yesterday was maybe the same amount of time in Antwerp and the plan was basically the same: 60 minutes rolling around town on my bike and 30 minutes drinking a pricy, perfect Belgian beer. This time I caught the final half hour of an EPL match (Everton vs WBA, 0-0 draw). In Germany, I did the same thing ...

Today we followed Tony (our coach) and Daryl the shortcut way to the club on our bikes. We went out for our 2nd training session. The wind was a bit lighter, we would go upwind for 5 minutes and it would take 25 minutes to get back to the line. This is because of the currents here. The coaches are trying to work out a pattern so when the racing starts we will know some more about the water ...

Whilst it is easy to say they died for so little in relation to land gained, I think at the time, they were fighting for reasons and beliefs held so strongly during their era. A tour enabled us to gain a more in depth look into the history here. Although, our best tour guide was a local bar ...

In a nation where our love of dogs keeps growing and dog ownership has reached an all-time high, confusion about dogs and their behavioral problems is skyrocketing. Many dogs are out of control, untrained, chewing up furniture, taking medication for anxiety, and biting millions of people a year.
Now, in this groundbreaking new guide, Jon Katz, a leading authority on the human-canine bond, offers a powerful and practical philosophy for living with a dog, from the moment we decide to get one to the sad day when one dies. Conventional training methods often fail dog owners, but Katz argues that we know our dogs better than anyone else possibly could, and therefore we are well suited to train them. It is imperative, he says, that we think rationally and responsibly about how we choose, train, and live with the dogs we love, and the more we learn about ourselves, the better we can recognize their wonderful animal natures. Misinterpreting dogs is a profound obstacle to understanding them.
Katz believes that both people and dogs are unique–a chow differs from a Lab just as a city dweller differs from a farmer–and he describes how such individuality isn't addressed by even the best and most popular training methods. Not every training theory is for everyone, notes Katz, but almost anyone can train a dog and live with him comfortably. Katz on Dogs is filled with no-nonsense advice and answers to such key questions as:
• What kind of dog should I have? Is there is a specific breed or kind of dog for my personality, family, or living situation?
• What is the best way to train a dog?
• Can I trust my vet?
• How often (and for how long) can a dog be left alone?
• Is it preferable to have only one dog, or are more better?
• What are the secrets to successful housebreaking?
• What are my dogs thinking, if anything?
• How can I walk my dog instead of having her walk me?
• Is it ever okay to give away a dog you love?
• When is it time to put my dog down?
Katz draws from his own experience, his interactions with thousands of dog owners, vets, breeders, dog rescue workers, trainers, and behaviorists, and he has tested his approach with volunteer dog owners around the country. Their helpful and often inspiring stories illustrate how all of us can live well with our dogs. You can do it, Katz contends. You can live a loving and harmonious life with your dog.
About the Author
Jon Katz has written eleven books, six novels and five works of nonfiction. A two-time finalist for the National Magazine Award, he has written for The New York Times, GQ, The Wall Street Journal, Rolling Stone, and Wired. He currently writes about technology, media, and culture for the Web site Slashdot.org, and is a contributing editor to public radio's Marketplace and to Bark magazine, and is a member of the Assocication of Pet Dog Trainers.

224MB formatted? I knew SSDs used some of the space for redundancy, but that's just ridiculous.
What, 0.93% of the drive capacity isn't enough for you? I bet you want a whole 1% of drive capacity all to yourself.

by Performance J from Lafayette, La. |
I don't normally write reviews but I had to this time for my experience with Rogel Ford in Mississippi. I live in Louisiana and had to trade my upside vehicle in for a different one with better gas mileage. After calling within my state and the surrounding states Rogel Ford by FAR gave me the most for my trade with the absolute lowest price on the vehicle I wanted within 300 miles of where I lived and I do mean by thousands!! I went to purchase the vehicle with only pictures from the web so I was nervous but they assured me I would be please with the condition of the used car that I was purchasing but why would you believe a car salesman right?!?! They are in the business to sell cars so I just went trusting in the sales lady, Lauren Page, that the vehicle was in good shape just like she stated and it was. This car was in like new shape with $18k on it so I now have trust with this dealership and will by all my cars from them. They only by used cars in good shape so if you purchase a used car from them Mr. Rogel will personally make sure its a good one. What a great owner too, came to meet my family and I and was very personable. They are a small dealership in the country but we had the best experience ever with them. Lauren Page said she can get you just about any vehicle too so if you are looking for something other then a Ford call her to find it at a great price and see what they can give you for your trade!! Do yourself a favor and stop playing games with other dealerships! I am trying to save you some heartache that I have had several times trying to trade or purchase a vehicle so this is one review you should take seriously!! 601-405-1886

I visited Rogel Ford for the first time for service on my F150 after getting the run around in Jackson. The best service experience I've ever had. The Jackson dealer told me I needed 1500 worth of repairs. Rogel Ford fixed my problem for 125 dollars. I continued to get my service there as well as my wife's Chevrolet. We decided to trade and the selling process was honest and straight forward. Could not give a dealer a higher rating. They make us feel like family there. A+++

Everything's bolting
Hello everyone,
Is it just me or are any of you finding that their veggies are bolting a lot sooner than they should be? Whether this is has been your experience too or not, what might the reason be? Any thoughts?
I've got beans and tomatoes in and my wife has her herbs and other bits here and there and everything is reaching fruiting and time for picking as expected. I live near Tweed Heads, NSW. By the way, I could use a bloody lot more rain than is happening this year.
g'day corpus,
what are you growing?
summer plants will be fine, brassicas and lettuce won't they are cool months plants.
we just harvested our corn, zucchini. tom's, chillies, snake beans doing well, the vines are growing well and fruiting.

It's been a couple of years since my last posting so I thought I would share my home office updates. Retired my G5 Tower and replaced it with a MacPro which, for now, mostly runs Windows 7 via Bootcamp. An Acer 22" LED monitor is held in a portrait position with the help of a 3M monitor arm. The 24" iMac still serves as the center of my setup as I slowly migrate to the Mac Pro. May consider replacing the iMac with a 30" monitor when that project is complete.

Reader comments are listed below. Comments are currently closed and new comments are no longer being accepted.
There are so many aspects of pensions that need to be sorted out, and the Tory proposals do nothing to iron out the discrepancies between the genders.
Increasing the state pension to 66 for men while women retire at only 63 is not the way to do it.
At the moment a woman who retires at 60 can expect to live, on average for around 26 years, while a man who retires at 65 can only last for 18 years, so a woman's (state) pension costs considerably more.
Adding to this is that for a variety of reasons - earlier retirement, child rearing, sexism, encouragement to reduce pension payments like the married woman's reduced NI payment, etc. - women tend to have much lower pension income, and are therefore much, much more likely to need a pension supplementary income. At least some of these are starting to be phased out.
The pension age for women needs to increase much more rapidly to equalise with men, but not so rapidly that they cannot adjust.
Then the law needs to be changed so that couples contribute equally to their individual pensions (which probably wiil require monetary transfers between them).
As usual, a Tory cock-up!
There is another disparity manual workers do not have the same life expectancy as professional workers. Men in Glasgow have a life expectancy nearer 71 years - over 10 years less than Kensington and Chelsea. So we are not all in it together.
In my profession teaching it is known that those that work until 65 are more likely to die earlier than those that retire earlier - what will the impact of raising pension age have on life expectancy?

mercenaries fantasy
Are there any other merc's fantasy novels or other kind of fighting group like an army or a band with a main male lead character who becomes their leader? Preferably young something like Inda, Codex Alera or Videssos . I know also about the Black Company but i will leave that to later.

A few possibilities:
- Glen Cook: the "Dread Empire" saga
- Glen Cook: The Swordbearer
- Glen Cook: The Tower of Fear
- Hugh Cook: the "Chronicles of an Age of Darkness" cycle
- David Gemmell: the "Drenai" cycle
- David Gemmell: the "Sipstrassi" cycle
- Simon Green: the "Forest Kingdom" trio
- Eric Van Lustbader: the "Sunset Warrior" cycle
- Andrew Offutt: the "War of the Gods on Earth" trilogy
All of those (save the Glen Cook individual novels) are connected series save the Hugh Cook, wherein the books are standalones, but sometimes with characters in common.

Mercenaries have featured in a number of science fiction novels. The well-known author Jerry Pournelle has written several books about science-fiction mercenaries known as Falkenberg's Legion. Also, author David Drake has written a number of books about the fictional hovercraft armored regiment Hammer's Slammers. Both series of books are brutal in their portrayal of complex low-intensity warfare despite technological advances. Gordon R. Dickson's Dorsai!, part of his Childe Cycle, includes the planet Dorsai with a society structured like that of Switzerland.
August 20th, 2011, 03:36 PM #10
Ash: A Secret History by Mary Gentle is about the female leader of a mercenary company in an alternate history fantasy.
Orcs, a series by Stan Nicholls, is about a mercenary cadre of orcs. It is a satirical series, so there are a lot of things in it that are deliberately over the top and silly, like the villain, but it's mixed with drama as well.
Violette Malan has a series about martial arts mercenaries starting with The Soldier King.
I second James Barclay's Raven series and of course, Black Company and some of Cook's other works are major, as are the Dorsai books. Joe Abercrombie's Best Served Cold is about mercenaries, though it's a standalone in a wider series. There are several dozen more that are not coming to mind right now, but if they do, I'll pop them up.

By increasing the price of diesel by Rs. 5 a litre and restricting the supply of subsidised domestic LPG cylinders to six a year, the UPA government has dealt a severe blow to the aam aadmi yet again. It finds it easier to pass the burden to the citizens rather than put an end to corruption.
Sunita Shukla,
The UPA government can justify its decision to hike the price of diesel and limit the number of subsidised LPG cylinders in any number of ways. But it could have started the procedure during its earlier tenure by limiting the number of subsidised cylinders to 12 per household and stopped the supply of subsidised gas cylinders to families with a salary of Rs. 50,000 and above a month. Why should cost cutting begin at the lower level? Every government wants to squeeze the last drop of blood out of the aam aadmi and generously distribute the natural resources of the country to the rich in the name of development.
Neeta Venu,
I understand the need to improve the finances of oil marketing companies. I also understand the need to reduce the government's overall subsidy bill. But the government should keep the interests of the common man also in mind. The price increase should be confined only to diesel cars. It should be the same as the petrol price for them. As for LPG gas cylinders, there should not be any form of rationing. It is enough if illegal connections are detected and cut.
N.M. Rao,
Reforms for the UPA government seem to be only about taxing the poor and the middle class. Public transport and private carriers transporting essential goods should be exempted from the diesel price hike. Restrictions on the number of cooking gas cylinders should be applied to the rich. The diversion of such cylinders for commercial use should be arrested.
M. Srinivasa Rao,
Keywords: diesel price hike

is Fed v Klink pvp dead?

BoPs are easiset ships to kil. At least since Cryptic changed energy drain from cannons and boosted healing turning escorts in destroyers.
It is fast and have battlecloak, yes. But it is also so weak that it will blow if you look at it the right way. So if you got blasted by him, it was because he was better player, your ship setup was not up the task for FvK or both.
If he was better player - learn, play FvK or gank Klinks in Ker'rat for start and then return to blow his derri?re. If it was your setup - check it, ask question, modify it and return to win with him. If both - do both and play FvK.
Try hull attacking weapons. Got a lot of plasma torps and mines for DoT (escorts rarely carry double HE to keep it in check). Or use transphasic weapons. Use drain setup to deny him his aux and eng powers and with it - cloak and speed. Use you natural resists as sci and healing to keep the incoming damage in check. SNB him to reduce his buffs (speed/resistance/damage) and allow your teammates to kill him.
All in all - sci vs BoP should end in only one way: BoPs head on golden plate. If it does not then there is something seriously wrong with sci.
Also - factor in the team your were playing with. Coordination works wonders and if your team cannot coordinate, while the enemies show even a sliver of coordination - you will loose no matter how good you are.
And at the end - if the arenas I played at cmdr and also the Ker'rat encounters are any indication of Klink condition: FvK will get a LOT easier in time. New Klinks I met (new = low level) simply suck. Even relatively uncoordinated Fed team was winning 15:0 in most of those games.
My 2c on FvK - I left it looong time ago due to spam ammounts. And it was in time when Warhammer ships were the main if not only carriers in game. Currently with the carriers/carrier hybrids available for both factions there is no reason to stay with FvF only. The spam must flow, sadly.

Yes, you can buy donated pokemon with the points you have.

You recant? The hell does that mean? XD

Money tree is dying
PLEASE HELP! I think I am slowly killing my money tree. :( My company was moving to a new office and the moving company would not move plants so, I have to bring my plant home to move myself. It was doing very well and thriving, growing lots of new leaves. Then, I made the mistake of leaving it in my car on a 75 degree day. I didn't realize that the temperature in the car would get hot and burn the tree. So I brought it inside and all the leaves fell off. I then trimmed the limbs to about an inch, hoping that new leaves would grow. I then noticed that 3 of the trunks of the tree looked very dry and I was able to pull them out and discover that they were dead. I have 2 remaining trunks now that are still alive but, only barely. Following trimming the limbs, I noticed that the tops of the tree trunk where the limbs sprout were beginning to look wilted so, I trimmed the tops of each truck in hopes that getting rid of sick parts would enable the plant to thrive. Today, I'm looking at the plant and it seems it's getting worse, I don't know what to do next. Please help! *Note: this began on June 27, 2014. I watered the tree with Miracle Grow one time and regular water one time since then.

Interiors, designed by the architect Philippe Capron, are contemporary and light, and combined with luxurious touches to reflect the latest Sofitel five star design.
Highlights include an original and unique fresco by the artist Olivier Heinry, and numerous sculptures and objets d´art that combine to create an ambience that is at once serene and refined. Sofitel Luxembourg Le Grand Ducal, the most contemporary and prestigious hotel in Luxembourg, has 128 luxury guest rooms and suites. On the rooftop you'll find the panoramic restaurant Top Floor, designed to make the most of exceptional views.

Garden Exchange.
Anyone here ever used the Garden Exchange to unload stuff? It used to be for paying members only but iVillage opened up and now the riff-raf like me can post. I found some unused candles From Pier 1 Imports I had and put them up for trade for plants.
I don't know if it will work but it will be interesting to see what if someone wants them. They're good candles and are scented to high heaven. I just took them out of the closet and now my room is smells like well I don't know what. It's an interesting mix of smells going on. I think I need to open a window, I'm not accustomed to having scents in my room.
Hi Diane,
You know yesterday was the first day I realized your name was can't type. I was having the hardest time trying to pronounce it in my head. LOL. I'm not that big on candles I don't know what possed me to buy these....I've been burning the same one for years now and I can't finish it.
I just looked at your member page and learned you were in Canada and you don't do much outdoor gardening. I think if I lived the cold North I would have to build and live in a green house.
Anyway, I've gotten a few replies to it but mostly I'm thinking it may not make sense to trade one person a candle for a plant. Mostly because of the cost and cost of shipping seems to be coming out to more than it would cost me to buy the darn thing in Home Depot.
Although this little experiment did teach me a thing or two. One of the persons that e-mailed is someone who I have wanted to trade with for a long time, and one other person is a trader who never wanted any of the seeds I had to trade before.
Oh I never thought of the cost on your end to send candles in the mail! Oops.... you should have chosen something lighter to trade:-)
Yeah.... I've been canttype for many years where ever I go on the net. My typing skills have gotten alot better,(now should change my name to cantspell!!) thanks to playing Boggle at Jumbalaya.com. Great site btw, wonderful people playing there too!
Living up here makes outdoor and indoor gardening tricky but atleast indoors I can control the temps, light.... Every year the winters are getting warmer and the summers are getting cooler and rainy. Seems global warming only effects us in the winter??? (makes winter more tolerable)Hasn't hit -40c/f (same temp at -40) once this year(touch wood) and say 10 years ago, it was almost the norm. I have plans for a greenhouse in the next year or 2 but we have a monster garage to finish first.
Yesterday I got an e-mail with some 'special' offer from Home Depot, among them were greenhouses and I saw one that would fit perfectly in a pace in my back yard. Now I only have to figure out where to get the two thousand dollars from. :0)
I think this spring and summer I'm going to haunt the alley ways and look for spare windows and build one out of the many windows I see put out when the weather is nice.
I have about 30 windows you could have!! We were planning a glassed in porch beside our garage but we changed our minds. Too many kids with nothing to do (rocks come to mind)and it would have been too close to the street for comfort!
We will eventually build a greenhouse with some of them.
Windows are easy to come by here as everyone has WAY to much $$$ and never recycle anything! We just asked people we saw renovating to save them for us, instead of taking them to the dump!
'Alley Bopping' is a blast(IMHO) and hopefully you can find enough windows!
Yeah, I know what you mean. There's a lot of rehabing of older homes and buildings in the city and they're just tossing the stuff out. Down the street from me is an old police station, built around 1907 and they just redid the windows and tore out all the stained glass. I looked out the window and saw the stained glass windows sitting in the alley. I ran down to try to salvage them but by the time I got there a man was already loading them up on his truck. Man it was a sad day. :0(
Ohhhh....What a sin! You gotta be quick!
I'm in a city that doesn't have alleys in residential areas:-(
Everyone puts their garbage out on the curb, friday mornings! I can't take garbage/treasures from in front of the house!! Alleys are one thing but streets are quite another! Hubbie would shoot me.... what would the neighbors think? I miss Calgary for their great alleys. (other stuff too but...)
Happy hunting,
