WANTED: I really need some bulb help!
Comments (1)Welcome to Gardenweb! I have some crocosmia bulbs I can send you for postage. Advice: Post in the "Plant Exchange" area, something like "Wanted: Newbie needs help". And it's a good idea to have your email on your member page, people get really frustrated when they can't contact you. Let me know if you'd like some crocosmia. Dee...See MoreI really need some help
Comments (8)If you're heart is set on using the Rubbermaid container and the pump you have, all you really need is a lawn-type sprinkler or holes drilled in the outlet pipe from the pump -- just anything that will scatter the water around the inside top of the container. Start your seeds in sand or soil first, then transplant the "seedlings" into perlite inside net pots. You can drill the lid to the Rubbermaid container the right size using a hole saw and a drill motor, then just plop the net pots into the holes, add the seedlings and plant nutrient and let 'er rip! I use a similar setup in my "cloners". I merely direct the outlet spray from the pump to the underside of the lid and drill holes all along the edge of the plastic lid into which I drop my net pots. The net pots contain perlite and one seedling each. The water from the pump hits the lid and sprays in a circular pattern wetting each of the net pots. Use whatever size pot you think will accommodate your particular plant. Run the pump 24/7 if cloning or at least once every hour or so for regular growing. Just don't let the net pots actually dry out. It doesn't get much simpler than that....See MoreI really need some help...ASPA!!!
Comments (5)I agree with Lisa dee. It is absolutely NOT too late to put on the reducer and it should be done asap. Quickly, put up another box for the Blues. You don't have to have a lot of room. They will nest within fairly close proximity. Mine are nesting within 50 feet of each other as I type. Run to Lowes and get a Bluebird box for $10, and get a T-post to mount it on. I buy the 6-7ft T-post, and it's really inexpensive. I mount mine with machine screws,(10-24x 2-1/2SS)washers,and lock tite nuts. I agree with Lisa. Do this as QUICKLY as you can. Then, you will have nesting Blues and Dees!! Do whichever thing can be accomplished the fastest first. I suppose that you would have to go to a birding specialty store to find a reducer or else buy one on-line....See MoreNeed a New Vacuum
Comments (10)We have had a Miele for the past 6 years and have been very pleased with its performance. The model we chose, which has been discontinued, comes with a carpet cleaner attachment with a brush that spins. But unlike most of this type, the spin is powered by the suction, not a separate electric motor. Less complicated. That attachement is superb on wall to wall and oriental carpets. The separate attachment for hard floors also works very well. You can also get an attachment that is easily adjustable for doing both carpets and hard floors. We use that one when we're in a hurry and don't have time for the separate attachments. The other attachments, for dusting furniture, vacuuming upholstery, and getting in crevices are all thoughtfully designed and useful. But the most important feature of the Miele is its HEPA filter. Without one, you're just blowing some of your dust back into the air. WHATEVER BRAND YOU DECIDE ON, MAKE SURE IT HAS A HEPA FILTER. I would never use one with a HEPA filter....See Morehawk307
