New Orleans delivers unforgettable All-Star Weekend
NEW ORLEANS -- LeBron James had neither anger nor amusement in his voice, just a resigned tone as the bus inched its way through traffic.
NEW ORLEANS -- LeBron James had neither anger nor amusement in his voice, just a resigned tone as the bus inched its way through traffic.
"All-Star Weekend," he said.
All-Star Weekend. Three words and a hyphen -- it's the only way to summarize an event that can put you face-to-face with the famous and the homeless, a weekend that tests the limits of male athleticism and female clothing, a time for excessive spending and insufficient sleep. The black Super Bowl.
If it takes 30 minutes to drive four blocks at 2:30 a.m., as was the case when I tried to get back to my hotel Saturday morning, understand that's part of the experience. It's the price you pay for the only-at-All-Star-Weekend, only-in-New-Orleans sights such as Dikembe Mutombo talking to former LSU coach Dale Brown on the sidewalk outside Café Du Monde, or Arnold Schwarzenegger rolling through the French Quarter in the back seat of an SUV, spitting the tip of a cigar out the window.
So, yeah, the traffic was bad. But there were ways to deal with it. One of the benefits of having the festivities in New Orleans, besides the great food ("That gumbo -- man," Allen Iverson said), was the option of walking everywhere you needed to go. That's what I did Saturday, footing it to the arena, the parties, wherever, despite a right leg that was severely damaged after Charles Barkley's inexplicable decision to sit on my lap Thursday night.
New Orleans has always been the best host for the big sports weekends, and even in its weakened state it still came through.
This year, both the city and the league were better off for the event. That's a big change from last year's run in Las Vegas, which became known for the Pacman Jones strip-club shooting, cranky cabbies and waitresses complaining about poor tips, and a game that looked like it was played by 24 guys who had spent 48 hours in Vegas.
This time, on my plane ride out of town, all people talked about were the events.
Saturday night featured a record-tying shooting display by Jason Kapono, then an enthralling dunk contest that set new standards for the combination of creativity and athleticism displayed by Gerald Green and the winner, Dwight Howard. Afterward, Brian McIntyre, the NBA's senior vice president of communications, was gushing that it was the best All-Star Saturday since Chicago. That was in 1988, when Larry Bird walked off with his index finger in the air even before his final money ball swished through the net in the 3-point shootout, and Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins staged their legendary duel.
Even 1988 didn't advance the event as much as Saturday's dunk contest did. The props, the teammates serving as magician's assistants, made it even more enjoyable. I loved the look on Rashad McCants' face as he climbed a ladder to carefully place a cupcake on the back of the rim, then lit a candle. He took his job so seriously, like Jerome holding Morris Day's mirror. Jameer Nelson, on the other hand, couldn't keep from smiling as he unfurled the red cape Dwight Howard used for his Superman dunk.
Terrell Owens was watching from courtside, filled with awe and jealousy. I give him credit for inspiring all of these gimmicks, starting with his Sharpie. Yes, credit, not blame. What's wrong with having fun in sports? When I ran into him later that night he raved about the creativity of the cupcake dunk, and regrettably said that he wouldn't try to top it the next time he scores a touchdown.
"The NFL's getting too restrictive," he said.
That is football's loss.
If the All-Star Game on Sunday didn't rank with the all-time greats, it at least had its share of highlights, then a hard-played fourth quarter filled with big shots that kept the outcome in doubt until the final minute.
But of course, the game itself might be the smallest part of All-Star Weekend. And this weekend, when compared with the recent C-list extravaganza that was the Super Bowl in Phoenix, also drove this point home: While football is the bigger sport, basketball has produced the bigger stars.
You can't find three football players who could match the wattage produced by Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Julius Erving, who all attended a celebrity billiards event Thursday night. People wouldn't stand three-deep to watch Tom Brady play pool the way they did for Jordan.
Before he grabbed his cue and partnered up with Chris Paul, I finally got a chance to ask Jordan a question I'd wondered for years: If a 1994 draft-night trade of Scottie Pippen for Shawn Kemp had gone through, would Jordan have come out of his first retirement the next year?
"Probably not," Jordan said. "I could have played with Shawn, but I wouldn't have been as comfortable as I was with Scottie."
I always figured that was the case, which makes that the all-time best trade that didn't happen. Reportedly, Seattle's owner nixed the deal after hearing negative reaction to it on local sports-talk radio. So Jordan came back to play with Pippen and the Bulls won another three championships.
Charles Oakley was also at the pool event. What's he up to? He said he wants to do a reality show that would feature 10 current and former athletes vying to prove their toughness, with the winner getting a fight with Mike Tyson. Like you wouldn't watch Oakley do that.
The Thursday night before the weekend really gets going is always my favorite. Enough big-name people are in town to make for good people-watching, and the full crowds and the heavy workload haven't kicked in yet.
But there was a noticeable transformation in town come Friday. The general feeling among my sportswriter buddies who have covered our share of All-Star Games, Super Bowls, Final Fours and the like was we'd never seen an event that featured so many beautiful women strolling around at any and all hours. One group of women, dressed in what seemed to be the official, tight-fitting, form-revealing uniform of the weekend, inspired a man holding a sign that read "Homeless Vet. USMC" to stand at attention and salute.
Even with all of the temptation, most people behaved well (although three people were shot early Monday morning in the French Quarter). The crowds were about one-sixth the size of Mardi Gras, but there was that same, happy-drunk vibe.
Still, for all the parties with players and Playmates, all of the sights and sounds (and, on Bourbon Street, smells), my favorite part of the weekend was a bus ride.
The NBA let a few journalists travel with the players as they went to their designated community service locations to help rebuild New Orleans. I asked for the group that included Jason Kidd and Dirk Nowitzki, two would-be teammates kept apart by forces beyond their control, like the plot to "West Side Story" in the on-again, off-again trade that was a no-go at the time of the trip on Friday.
But it turned out that LeBron was the star of the show. Even amid the veterans -- Kidd, Nowitzki and Steve Nash -- LeBron was the center of attention. Kidd asked Nash if he played much golf lately. Nash invited Kidd to play soccer with him. Nowitzki asked Nash how fun it's been to have Shaq in Phoenix. But it kept coming back to LeBron. It wasn't that he constantly talked about himself. He just drove the conversation, asking questions, setting the agenda.
When I got on the bus he was seeking advice from Kidd on how to be a better free-throw shooter. Kidd told him to keep just one thought in his head.
"When you're going to dunk the ball, what are you thinking?" Kidd asked.
"I'm thinking, 'I'm going to tear the f------ rim off," James said.
Kidd said James needed a similar, singular, positive thought in mind at the free-throw line.
On the ride back, when James asked Kidd what number Kidd would wear in Dallas (prompting Nowitzki's head to pop up three rows away) Kidd joyfully speculated. Since his current No. 5 belongs to Josh Howard and the 32 he wore in Phoenix is worn by Brandon Bass (whom everyone agreed is too big and strong for Kidd to punk for his jersey), Kidd said he'd go for No. 14. One plus four equals five. It also would be the reverse of Nowitzki's 41. Then LeBron demonstrated a surprising bit of knowledge. Isn't 14 Dirk's number on the German national team, he asked Nowitzki. Dirk confirmed it was. How many Americans knew that?
I feel like I got to understand LeBron a little more this weekend. Even though I've been around him at least a dozen times, from locker rooms to parties at the ESPYS, he's never opened up to me much. So this time I observed.
I saw him on the way out of the arena Sunday night. He had finished all of his interviews, changed back into his street clothes and was clutching his All-Star Game MVP award. I liked the fact that he carried it himself instead of doling it off to some assistant to haul. His peeps were waiting for him in the lobby, and he greeted each one -- male and female -- with a customized, multistage handshake.
With Kobe Bryant limited to a token appearance because of his finger injury, I had worried that there wouldn't be anyone to set a standard of effort. James was one of the main people who assumed that responsibility. And you know Kobe was jealous as he watched LeBron take over the game while Bryant sat helplessly on the sideline. Even though LeBron always praises Kobe, you can tell there's a healthy rivalry there. God, I hope Kobe and LeBron meet in the Finals sometime in the next three years.
One thing about the NBA's big weekend is it ends swiftly, with players hustling out of town to rejoin their teams for practice Monday. The star power drops considerably, to the point that when I towed my bags through the hotel lobby Monday morning a guy was desperate enough to want to take a picture with me. His gold teeth glinted, his breath reeked of alcohol.
"I watch the show every day," he said. "Around the Horn, mother f-----."

have: exchange list for 10/18 ssfs fall swap
Ok, so I don't really know what I have to trade yet, but as I mentioned, I'm pretty excited. Already. I just thought I'd put the thread here so share my excitement!
Maybe I need to ask here for a life!?
I'm reluctantly giving up on my dwarf pampas grass and will have probably 3 or 4 pieces to give away this fall. We seem to be at the northern edge of the hardiness range, and I'm tired of having most of the huge clump die back every few years when we get a harsh winter. If you have a warm microclimate (I had put it in the hottest, sunniest spot I have) then it might work for you.
Here's a photo of what it looked like at its peak when we had several warm winters in a row, but it's never been the same since.
Here is a link that might be useful:
I'm starting my inventory and will post as I go. That way I won't forget what the heck I have!
I have a crape myrtle that is supposed to be a 'Dallas Red' but it's a medium, clear, (guess...) PINK. I'm fairly certain it's a mislabel, which bums me out. It will be about 1' tall by trade time, and if it were a Dallas Red, would become 25' or so. However, since it just cannot BE a Dallas Red, I have no idea what it will become. All I know is this puppy is hardy!
I will also have a very small, maybe 6'' to 1' tall Catawba. Mine turned out to be lilac colored vs. the advertized dark purple, so this will be a lighter color. Ask BayGuy if he likes it, though, since he adopted one of mine. This plant is an off-shoot of the remaining roots.
Don't forget, guys. eMail me privately if you're interested.
to continue and amend my list...
I have:
a pink, should-be Dallas Red Crape Myrtle. Gorgeous blooms on about a 1.5' plant. Looks like it'll be a prolific bloomer.
1 Tuscarora crape myrtle, probably 5' tall. This is a watermelon pink that looks a bit dusty. It's pretty.
1 low shrub, probably 2' tall with a TON of blossoms on it. It's generically called a "rubra" crape myrtle, but it just happens to be an exact match for my 'Tonto.'
I've put a couple more under the Haves list, because someone will need to come get them. These I can dig myself.
Rooted (or semi-rooted) cuttings -- if you want any of these, tell me now, so I can get them started:
Pineapple sage
Scented geranium -- lemon-rose, apple, lemon, nutmeg
White heliotrope
Vietnamese cilantro/coriander/mint (Polygonum odoratum)
Garlic chives
Monarda 'Bluestocking'
Rooted suckers:
Rosa rugosa x Magnifica
Rosa virginiana
Yellow double daffodils
Gladiolus (pink picotee and fire-engine red, mixed)
So far I know I will have available
Lots of pachysandra (evergreen groundcover)
Archangel ground cover(yellow flowered)
Orange ditch lilies
Rose of sharons bluebird
Butterfly bushes lavander flowers
Spiderwort dark purple flowers
Ground cover rose pink flowers(1)(I'l only dig if some one asks for it.
Mudsquopper, I'd like to try some of that pampas grass!
In the meantime, here's what I have (I'll also update my page):
White bee balm
Rose mallow
Apple mint
Rose of sharon seedlings (unsure of color)
Hummingbird feeder and food
**Suja--you wanted a Japanese maple seedling right? I'll bring one for you!
Specifically Want:
Sun-loving shrub
"Black Knight" butterfly bush
I'm not picky! ;)
Big surprise, but I am pretty much repeating my list from the Spring, with a few changes. I'll just dig whatever people want.
Monarda Raspberry Wine
Monarda Jacob Kline
Purple Monarda (Either Blue Stocking or Prairie Night can't remember which
Rudbeckia Goldsturm
Anthemis Kelwayi
Calamintha Sylvatica
Lamb's Ears
Sidalcea Seedlings - I threw out a bunch, so I don't know for sure if I have any
Malva Fastigiata
Salvia Uliginosa
Salvia Blue Cloud (Christine, did you want some? You mentioned it the first time you were here)
Yarrow - Paprika
Scabiosa ochroleuca
Nepeta 'Dawn to Dusk'
Agastache Blue Fortune
Yellow Aquilegia
Anemone Robustissima
Baby Buddleia plants - blue-purple
Astilbe seedlings - probably white flowering
Tricyrtis seedlings - Color Unknown
Dawn, thanks for the Maple seedling!
Hi, I'm excited about coming since I missed the one in the spring.
trailing sedum acre
pink salvia coccinea
a holly seedling
breynia 'snowbush'
variegated lirope
artemisia that has green/white leaves
red alternatha
chrysanthemum nipponicum 'Montauk Daisy'
This is off my regular exchange list. I may also have a few baby Imperial taro (Colocasia esculenta 'Illustris') plants and some rue (Ruta graveolens) if the cuttings root.
Bee Balm (Monarda) - red and purple
Sedums (Weinhenstephaner Gold, Dragon's Blood, and even acre if you really want that)
Oenothera (Evening Primrose, yellow)
Tall perennial verbena (Verbena bonariensis)

Mexican feather grass (Stipa tennuifolia)
Cardinal flower (lobelia cardinalis)
Purple ice plant (Delosperma cooperi)
Pink Panda false strawberry (fragaria)
Have hardy water lilies, yellow or white. Also various color canna (I just let them dry out, wrap them in newspaper and put them in a styrofoam box or paper bag. Come Spring I pot them and then move them later. I have various color leaves, and yellow, orange, red blooms.

The last few
Here are a few pictures of what was flowering in my garden today.
Abelmoshus Manihot just opened. If this warm weather stays around for a while as predicted maybe I'll be able to harvest some seeds from it.
I started this ROS from seed 2 years ago. It has finally flowered. Anyone know which one it is?
Simply Love Hibiscus is always nice.
My favourite is the Simply Love Hibiscus. Your picture looks much nicer than the one on the Veseys website.
Did you start them from seed in the house? If so, would it be difficult for someone who's only started from seed in the house once, and it was marigolds?
When I grew it the first time I started inside under grow lights. I planted that one in the garden and it always reseeded. Then we moved and I wanted another one. Since they reseed so well, I winter sowed it. I imagine you could actually plant the seeds directly to. I prefer to w/s because I can then control the environment and keep mice/rabbits or other pests away from the seedling. If you want some seeds, I will be putting up a trade list soon and I have some.

Doris Jordan commented on FedEx Family HouseJun 4th, 2012
On the way to work last week, I had car trouble. The only pleasant thing about this experience turned out to be that my car stopped right at the driveway of the FedEx Family House. Until that day, I did not know that this place even existed. It was approximately 7:30 a.m. and a young man was blowing off the front walkway around the building. When he saw what had happened to me, he got someone to help him and pushed my car out of the way of the Poplar traffic where it was safe. I am a senior female and was totally grateful for his help. While I was waiting for the wrecker to pick up my vehicle, I looked inside the building. It is state of the art and has 24 units that I am told stay full. The people who were working inside the building were gracious and helpful in every way. Memphis is indeed lucky to have such a great facility for the children and families to use during their stay, and I was very grateful for the opportunity to be made aware of this non profit venue.

But then again, that sure would be a crappy place to die...
I have yet to figure out the watering obsession in Lower MI.
No kidding! When I lived outside of Buffalo most lawns were allowed to go dormant in the summer. Here, it seems like it has to look like May until the end of October.
Unless there's a false bottom and it collapses.

Range and Error of Densitometers for Emission Spectroscopy
Volume 19, Number 1 (Jan. 1965) Page 28-30
Slavin, Morris
Present day densitometers are arranged to measure the proportion of the incident light that is transmitted by the photographic image of the spectral line. The readout is generally a galvanometer with a linear scale or a recorder which is also linear, although occasionally the strip chart may be printed in logarithmic units. A peculiarity of the transmission densitometer is that the measurement is inverse to usual electrical instruments in that the smaller the excursion of the needle the larger the quantity measured.

This is democracy -- Japanese style. This program provides a startling insider's view of Japanese electoral politics in this portrait of a man plucked from obscurity by the ruling Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) to run for a critical seat on a suburban city council. Kazuhiko "Yama-san" Yamauchi's LDP handlers are unconcerned that he has zero political experience, no charisma, no supporters and no time to prepare. What he does have is the institutional power of Japan's modern version of Tammany Hall pushing him forward. Yama-san allows his life to be turned upside down as he pursues the rituals of Japanese electioneering -- with both tragic and comic results.

I must agree this is a fine recipe. We used the recipe, however the lamb was cooked out side on the grill, which gave a better taste and was very tender to perfection. Best served with chilled kosher wine.
I made this for my husband. He thought it had too much of a lemon flavor.

Some Overlooked Sources of Non-Linearity in Analog Amplification Circuits
In the quest for circuit designs with improved signal linearity we have observed several previously neglected nonlinear effects: 1) Nonlinear interaction between gain stages due to voltage-dependent input impedances particularly with FETs, 2) circumstances under which the effect of loop feedback, in reducing distortion, is less than that predicted from the loop gain, and 3) nonlinearities in passive elements such as capacitors, resistors, and potentiometers. These effects play an important role in setting the limits to the circuit linearity that is achievable with present-day active devices.

Hydroponic Peppers
For anyone just reading this thread feel welcome to join in. We would love to hear your experiences with hydroponics. Including Al'a 5-1-1 mix (yes I believe that's hydroponic to:-)
Yes please Eric, i'd love to hear more! So far i'm still leaning towards an ebb and flow, it somehow looks easier to set up and maintain for bigger plants like chillies. Also, very valuable info about mycorrhizae, do you use nutrients like that too? From big agro labels i mean. I don't have access to hydro shops, the two that exist here are very new and extremely expensive. But we do have some very good quality water soluble ferts used for normal agriculture, which have proven great to me so far, and are available in almost any formulation you can think of.
Please if you open another topic just copy my post there to answer :)
Caelian, apologies for stealing your topic (again :)) ), glad you like fatalii's site ;) he has some sick hydro chillies growing!
teyo I've used ebb and flow mainly with aquaponics it works well but if something goes wrong the plants will die very quickly from lack of water.
Dutch bucket are much more forgiving because they have a reservoir of their own at the bottom of the pot and they can also be moved anywhere you like at any given notice.
Ebb and Flow uses a big tray confining plants to that space.
As it goes with nutrients; I stay away from well known brands. Most of them are just a lot of hype.
Your good quality water soluble ferts should work as long as you have a "TDS" meter and a "PH" test kit you should be fine with them.
If you are using material that is not very absorbent like clay pebbles or just plain NFT then you should always use less nutrients than recommended. Like the old saying: "Less is more"
Here is a link that might be useful: Very inexpensive Hydroponic Nutrients
Eric, is it very expensive to use Hydroponic system? Is hydroponic only for indoors? I have seen some pictures of Ghost hydroponic plants, the plants are so beautiful.
New container gardener,
Hydroponics is for indoors and outdoors.
I've had no real problems outdoors although some people say it will swing the PH levels to far for the plants to handle. If a plant is that delicate then I don't want to grow it.
I've grown a lot of different vegies hydroponically; even some root vegies like radish and short carrots.
Every plant seems to like a different method with hydroponics but they all seem to grow much faster and larger than conventional growing.
It's expensive only if you make it that way. You can do something as simple as pot full of perlite or clay pebbles will a cotton wick suspended above another pot of nutrient solution. The plant does all the work and draws up the solution through the wick.
The hydroponic system I have seen looks so complicated. We have some hydroponic enthusiasts but I do not know whether they have grown pepper. I have a lot of seedlings I can try one of them.
New container gardener,
Here is a link that might be useful: It looks complicated and real expensive.
Caelian well even though that link is not in English I can still see from the pictures it does look expensive. My advice to you is to make your own and make it simple. Some systems I have made for free using stuff I had laying around; like bucket, totes, etc.
Hi Eric, thanks for the reply!!
i have so many ideas and questions running around in my head, i'll try not to bore you to death with them :))
i'm actually leaning towards ebb and flow exactly because it's just one big table and i can add and remove plants to my liking. the thing is i'd put in peppers and some other test plants to see how they do in the table, and i like the idea of changing plants without flushing and changing the whole system. i have plenty of space and no need to move that stuff around.
as i said i was going to add a couple of bubbleponics diy buckets, i might as well do a couple dutch buckets too and see which does better, simpler and cheaper :))
about dutch buckets, they do seem quite promising but i am very unsure about that reservoir in the bottom, doesn't it attract algae, scum, rot and all other nasties of stagnant water? because it doesn't seem to me there is much circulation in there...
in the ebb and flow table, how necessary are mesh pots exactly? if the whole table is filled with leca or hydroton, wouldn't it be the same to put in the plants in the pots or without them?
i have already ordered a ph meter, looking now for a ec meter.
about nutrients, yeah i've noticed they are mostly geared towards marijuana growers, and that they avoid listing ingredients in the traditional fashion. the first i don't mind (actually i'd say mj growers are a happily experimenting bunch, i've learned tons from them, especially about diy systems), other than they overprice the product in relation to that, the second is bad, and makes it impossible to fine tune the nutrients :/
another problem for me is that it would be insanely expensive to order jugs of nutrients online (i'm located in croatia), pay customs for them, and even then there is a fair chance they would get seized or cops would come knocking on my door thinking i was growing mj lol and as i said, locally no good grow shops, i am left with water soluble agro nutes.
Caelian, hydro can be very simple and cheap... basically in the simplest i've seen all you need is a bucket with lid, a 6 inch mesh pot, a cheap air pump with two air stones and appropriate tubing, some hydroton and your plant :D oh and water and some soluble fertilizer. there are a ton of diy tutorials on the web, so much cheaper than finished solutions. i think it's worth a shot with one or two plants,just for fun :)
I agree that you can do hydro pretty cheap using the bubble bucket method. Your biggest investment should be your time researching hydroponics and building the bucket(s) ;-))
Find yourself:
- a food grade container or bucket (plastic numbers 2, 4, or 5) You can try to score a few used food grade buckets at a local burger place or restaurant;
- a cheap aquarium pump, some hose and an air stone;
- a bag of Perlite, clean cotton strips or strips from a from a new mop to use as wicks and a few mesh baskets.
You can see instructions for building one here:
The most expensive components would probably be nutrients and a cheap pH meter if you feel you need one.
Here's a few shots of a setup I built a couple of years ago to give you a better idea of what I'm talking about.
A used dill pickle bucket and Rubermaid bin
Mesh baskets and mop strands as wicks
I ended up with 3 of the blue bins on this rack under a 400 watt MH light. The green bucket ended up on the side
Here are a few Bhut Jolokia plants doing just fine
Here is a link that might be useful: Here's a link to more info on food grade plastic
teyo I can never be bored with hydro.
Ebb and flow is great if you have all the same plants on the table but if you have different plants they need different requirements so it is not practical for my uses but it is still a very good system.
DWC(Bubbleponics) gets difficult to use for many plants because it gets costly supplying all the air to the water.
Dutch buckets were the industry standard for peppers and tomatoes but now they are being replaced by rockwool slabs in bags.
Dutch buckets have an excellent drainage system that does not leave algae, scum, rot or stagnant water at the bottom of the bucket. There is an elbow at the bottom of the reservoir that drains the water from the very bottom of the reservoir kind of like a suction you would have with siphoning liquid.
With Dutch buckets you just simply run irrigation line along the buckets punch a hole push a connector in and your drip line to the bucket. The irrigation line goes to a reservoir with a pump and timer. Simple. But the buckets do take up storage space so this year I am contemplating using grow bags filled with pine bark, perlite and coir fed with drip line.
If you filled your tray with hydroton then you would need mesh pots because the area would be considered a garden bed and you would want to utilize all that air space for the roots. That way is similar to what most people use in aquaponics.
If you're going with ebb and flow (aka flood and drain) then I would recommend just using regular pots filled with hydroton not the whole table.
Yes I have learned a lot from marijuana growers but they have also given hydroponics a bad name you can see that first hand with ordering your nutrients online and the possibility of having them seized by customs.
ottawapepper thanks for all the great pictures the Bhuts look amazing! Are you still using deep water culture (DWC) or another method? Do you have any more picture you can share?
Thanks for chiming in; hopefully we can get Caelian to give hydro a shot..
Teyo, Ottawapepper and Eric, thank you for the information and very nice demonstrative pictures. The Bhut Jolokia plants are looked very healthy and nice.
Hydroponic gardening I heard many times but I never saw and touch in real so just I would like to try and have fun.
Actually I like to buy the parts and assemble, just like I do with all my desktop computers. All of you are providing me good information that's very kind of you, I really appreciate. As a new beginner I would like to buy one hydroponics systems first, very cheap one. I found one in EU online shop:
Thank you for your time.
New container gardener,
Here is a link that might be useful: Hydroponics Sytems
the 5-1-1 or other soilless mixes are considered drain to waste hydroponics hand watered. That is as close as I will get to hydroponics ever. Those grow mediums offer the porosity to the roots that hydroponics does with out all the ph monitring ppm testing ect. It is not like growing in rockwool which has ph swings very easy. Those soilless mixes for pots have a higher ph buffer than say coco alone or rockwool.
Hydroponics saves water and fertilizer-
Hydroponics produces more per square foot, so it saves space
This post was edited by TheMasterGardener1 on Tue, Feb 5, 13 at 13:33
i took a step back, and instead of reading a bunch of scattered articles i downloaded a collection of hydroponics ebooks. always better to start from a decent publication.
if anyone wants the info on where to find these send me a pm, i don't know the policy of this forum regarding such things so...
Eric, i am re-evaluating NFT, because i remembered i have a bunch of pvc piping laying around in the basement (i would like to keep buying new stuff to a minimum). i could easily set up two tubes of it (from and to the nutrient container) about 3 meters long each. i'll read up on it now. my concerns are about the sensitivity of plants to flow through and angle of those pipes, that was the first thing that put me off nft...
about the dutch buckets, yeah i know they have an elbow at the bottom, i was skeptical about it's ability to draw all the water out :)
good idea with only pots in ebb and flow! it would be practical but i have to consider sun exposure and find some solution for that..

it depends on how powerful the radios are on the tower. cell phone towers use special antennas to divide an area into slices which will have several antennas that only cover, say, 15 degrees or so. the further you are away from the antenna the wider the sector is, so they are run at a lower power to cover higher population dense areas.
so to build up the cellphone network, you need to build more towers in population dense areas.
