uses/ advantage and disadvantages of all sorts of garden containers
199363
When I visited the Eden Project in Cornwall, I was interested to see carrier bags or plastic bags used as planters. Most people are too poor for "real" pots.\n\nYears ago I also saw a container garden in Combe Martin, Devon. The containers were toilets, urinals, bedpans and the like. Very effective and whimsical.\n\nGarden containers can be decorative and soften space. They also provide for small kitchen gardens.

it loves sun. but it doesnot love dry air!!!!. it must be partially covered to make damp greenhouse air around it. otherwise it would wilt no matter how much u water it. put the pot in a large jar or little aquarium with a lid and make holes in the lid just to allow SOME air circulation but not much. take it from direct sun until it recovers from the wilting. then take it back to sun - it will love it. the thing about flies and trashcan is nonsense that makes me laugh alot! am i right that the weather got hotter and more sunny in your country recently - that would explain the change. moisting and misting would not correct the problem because u would have to do it over and over and you probably cannot do so. if u make the thing with the partly open aquarium then it is maintenance-free until it runs out of water, that is for weeks - depending on the size of the dish or whether you put the water on the bottom of the aquarium, then it may be a full month. also forget about the spongge - just allow the vft a bit of water in the dish or aquarium. dont repot, at least not now. also dont feed it in this state, no way.

there is a whole science that adresses exactly what you mention\nWATER HARVESTING\n,dig small dams every where to cath the rain water, and you can archieve that all of the rain water is absorbed by the land ,it will seep slowly into the ground to add to subteranean water suplies ,make sure that all the dams are interconnected by slow gradient ditches .just because you dont see water ,does not mean that it is not there .\nNormally a land repels water and with the rains it runs over ground into the rivers and awy.\nthink now that you want to make the land receptive or absorbent of all the water that falls on it.\n\nMULCH\ncut down the weeds before they produce seeds and leave them where they fall,they will cover the ground and put even more organic matter on top,you can use saw dust,leaves green or dry,and when you plant make a little space and plant in the mulch.this is the easiest quickest and by far most benificial way(for the quality of you soul)to prepare the land for planting\n\nto prevent weeds from coming all you have to do it turn out the lights,you can even use cardboard or black plastic(this is good for strawberries because they will rot if they touch humid ground,and the bugs can get to them).\n\nwhat you do is to cover the ground with mulch which is the same principal as compost but it includes the whole garden surface\nthe top part of the soil where the topsoil is being produced houses a world or microbiotic life.\n\nMulch is organic material green or dry that covers the ground,the thicker the better the composting process will turn it in to black topsoil\n\nthe humidity is preserved underneath and promotes the devellopment of worms(their exists no better compost than their excrements)and a variety of micro biotic life which together with the mulch produce more topsoil.\n\nthe mulch also keeps the ground temperature even and guards against the impact of the rain ,which would other wise brings salt to the surfave if on unprotected land\n\nMulch also prevents the soil from drying out because of the sun and, lay it open to wind erosian.\n\nand it turn out the lights for any weeds that want to come up\ndo not use chemicals because the water will wash them into the ground and if enough people did that, you would be guilty of helping to contaminate subteranean water suplies that other people could be pumping up to drink \n\nSUSTAINABLE FARMING\nthe best examples on this Earth of sustainable agriculture,\nare the chinampas of central Mexico ,the surviving ones(that have not been consumed by urban devellopment)have been going for more than 800 years ,that is sustainability.\nthe are built from the mud of the lakes and enriched with compost ,in the old days with the toilet contents of the outhouses that were on the bridges going into town,which the indians collected with a canoo.\n\nAnother example are the traced gardens of the Inca which have been going for more than a thousand years,there success is also because of the principle of using compost and their form which id a receptive concave absorb the rain waters and collect the dust from the wind (for hundreds of years and so increase in quality instead of the oposite.\nin the Ukraine are also examples of ancient agriculture due to no till farming and mulching(green organic matter that is added)\n\nin Mexico today are still examples from old Indian agricultural practises of diversity or companion planting.\nwhere by a series of 7 or 8 species of plants are put together or one folows the other.to create biodiversity ,and utilisation of space.\nCorn is planted for example ,wich is followed 4 weeks later by a bean that climbs it.\nand agavi and edible cactus is on the sides to protect these plants from foraging animals and add chemicals to the soil by their secretions.and others are in between to provide groundcover\n\nthere are many forms of sustainable farming in the past,and today those who follow the principles of permaculture,no till farming,organic or sustainable farmin

There are no advantages or disadvantages, it's just a short term weather cycle.  It's like asking what's the advantage to rain?  It you're asking, it doesn't influece global warming or any crap like that.

search the university of Hawaii aquaculture studies grant.plastic liners for grow-out ponds,padelwheel oxygenation and propeller oxygenation are good,but using air bubbles to raise ground water will reduce or eliminate nutrients in water column but is the most economic way to move volume well water to surface ditch line.just use a compressor to draw off well surface head water,add a little compressed air at botom of cistern,and,vuala..,volume irrigation water plastic lining also has good potential in agricultural lots.and negative atmosphere fruit tree grow out produces an accelerated yield.

I just read the other day that the best way to pack plants for a move is to soak peat moss for a while, and then wrap the peat moss around the plant.  This is to keep the plants moist during transportation.  \n\nYou then wrap that with a burlap sack. \n\nHope this helps.

Radio Frequency Identification.  This is where passive electronic tags are put into goods (e.g. think like the security strips at the store, but smarter in that they contain way more information or perhaps a non-powered version of the electronic toll pass in your car). The goods are passed through an electronic gantry that scans the codes and passes along the information.  That way you know everything that is in a pallet, container or box - how many, what color, what size, where they are from, where they are going.  All that time spent counting and categorizing by person is now done via technology. \n\n\nPros:\n1. Faster inventory velocity through the supply chain\n2. Lower costs of logistics\n3. Higher visibility of goods when in transit\n4. Lower shrinkage due to less container packing/unpacking/inspection\n5. Lower inventory levels needed as inventory can get more efficient. \n6. Lower total cost to consumer\n\nCons:\n1. Higher initial costs to logistics suppliers (who have to buy RFID systems)\n2. Fewer safeguards.  RFID tagged containers are sealed, which means less eyes on the container from origin to destination.  US Port Security acts means they may be inspected once they reach the US port, but it is only on a sample basis.\n3. Higher barrier to entry against competition as Walmart builds its cost advantage against competitors (i.e. you start to worry about anti-trust issues). \n4. Concerns that success at commercial level would spill over to personnel level, which would infringe upon personal privacy issues. However, electronic building passes already use this technology.

Organize a local garden to help encourage community,get small home gardens started to share with neighbors,the needy, community kitchens, the elderly +. I would call them Victory over hunger gardens. There is some space in most peoples homes or near their homes for a garden,like a patio,window sill,roof. I have been doing it in the small scale but I want to go larger and do more. I asked for input on answers just today. You can be the idea man in your area get people growing healthier lifestyles, and bringing their community closer together.\nJust a ruff idea best of luck in what ever you choose,I know it will be appreciated. ~A~

as there are SO many...i think the site i sent you in the source is going help you out.  It breaks it all down in categories so you can be a little more specific in your needs.  Good luck :-)

there are a few others one is the Texas Rig and the Carolina Rig -- if used properly both will be weedless.  Good luck and don't catch them all!

if you experiment with potted plants, it is likely, that far more nutrient is in the soil, so you will observe nothing. (only some plants do not tolerate too much watering, too cold water, chlorinated water - fresh from tap, ) I suggest you go for hydroponia (plant in water and nothing else) so that you can get somewhere. I also suggest you use seeds so that you have larger number of identical material - lets say each experimental variant will look like three-five  dishes with 50 cress/mustard seeds each.  (TO RULE OUT CHANCE!!! ) you can try different waters and your experiment will still take up the space on one window sill or small desk. You will observe different coloration, growth rate, as the plants will experience lack of nutrients (you can also try different fertilizers, different ammount of it, do chemical tests with your waters). I dont recomment larger seeds than that, because then you will have much nutrients in the seeds themselves.\ngood luck
