Want to clear something up about fertilizers
Comments (5)I've been using a soil mix heavy with wood products. From the start I'm feeding the soil mix with nitriogen. I use Fish Emultion and seaweed extract for the growth stage everytime I water in about 1/10 th or 1/8th of a full dose. I average watering every 3 days. Pubescense love it and most of my other plants do pretty good though some don't like it at all unless they get an extra shot of fish every so often. For budding I use Alska morbloom instead of the seaweed. I slightly cut down on the fish-gotta feed the soil too. Basicaly I'm saying a lot depends on your growing materials as to what ferts work best for you. After buying way too much Fish emultion and the labor involved in using the wood based soil mix I'm thinking of using it only for my Pubes. Adding more peat to it for my other peppers. I've already started playing with finding the happy medium in a soil mix that might be better for everything and not be so labor intensive or expensive to either mix or maintain. It also must last a couple years in bigger containers. I grow year round and don't have any time when my plants aren't either growing like springtime or putting out pods. Re potting is a hassle for 400-500 5gal. and up pots.Most are 15 gal. now. I've been trying 14-14-14 osmacote in my soil when I mix it up to see if it'll feed the soil enough so the plants will get what they need from the fish and seaweed... That will only be a 1 season fix though....See MoreClearing my basement and ready to sell...(help needed)
Comments (9)You are going to reach a varied audience by listing it on CL. Some folks are just looking for a 'cheap' set and think of it as 'old furniture'. There are, however, collectors who frequent the lists too and they'll know what you have and be willing to pay a fair price. The smoking stand is NICE. I think Linda is spot on as to what it would bring at $150. Most people under the age of sixty five would not even know smoking stands exist but I think it would be ashamed to give away a nice one with the humidor for much less than that. The bed? Again.........I have one and I have a modern mattress on mine, but not one of those poofy jobs. My matress just squeezes into the footboard and you practically need a shoehorn to change linens. I gave a 1930s set to my step-daughter because it belonged to her g'mother and I thought she'd consider it special. She could not find a mattress to fit it. It went all the way to Texas, so we didn't send the original mattress with it. You can still find mattresses for them, but it has to be 'just the right' one. The one I have in my bedroom is very like your set, only mine is fancier and carved. It went for $40 at an auction fifteen years ago. You just can't move them here. The armoire is lovely. I'd think it's the most desireable item in the set. Unfortunately, they tend to get carved on and repurposed as entertainment centers. It might bring up to $250 here to the right person. Prolly fetch more like $150 and that is way too low for what it's really worth. The caned items don't move in my area very well. The dresser by itself also would not bring what it's worth......perhaps $150. So, really in this area $400 for the set (without the smoker) is not so out of line. I have absolutely no clue what prices are like on the East Coast or New England. Should be higher than here. Our area is saturated in vintage furniture. Good luck...........I really like the set....See MoreHELP! I need to do something with my front yard.
Comments (5)I would start with hardscaping to create a little mystery and anticipation in that flat plain. For example, you don't need to know much about masonry to lay out and construct a curvaceous and intriguing path of dry-laid brick or flagstone with perhaps an arbor to mark an entrance, a berm or speciman boulders to add some contour. Once you have the backbone in, other ideas begin to suggest themselves - such as a serpentine border of low groundcover along the path, a vine climbing up the arbor, plants with complementary foliage paired with the rocks, and shrubs or grasses to coyly disguise your path's progress (where does it go next? let's follow it and see!)...See MoreNeed help!! something wrong with my african violet!

Comments (18)Mr. persistance! I love it! Work w inexpensive plants! Read, read, read. If you read and remember everything written, just on this forum. We will come to you for advice! Were I you, I would take the advice of some and create one single stable ingredient. An easy one is soil. You have to be able to eliminate at least one and preferable two key requirements for healthy plants. Soil, water, sun and food. Soil is easiest. Forget the exotics. A simple combination of perlite, vermiculite and peat will work great, 1-1-1. If it's available in your area, get the larger sized pellets. If not, a little horticultural charcoal can also work to loosen up your mixture. The idea being to create a loose mixture that will enable the roots of your plant to navigate freely throughout the pot. The next easiest is sun. Most indoor growers underestimate the amount of light needed to make these plants thrive. Sure, grandma grew AV's in her window and they probably bloomed once in a while. Thats not what we're doing. Read. You can determine exactly how many lumens it will take to provide adequate light for the square footage of the plant racks you have. Take appropriate steps. Once you have your soil and your light right. If the problem persists. Talk to you then....See More- 20 years ago
