How long to hold seeds?
Comments (18)Terri, I think your idea is not a good one. Though it sounds kind of you to offer this way of doing SASBE offers, it is really a set up to be scammed. You send the seeds and the mailer, waiting for postage and you don't get it. The rate and review forum is set up as follows. "This forum was created to rate and review exchanges and trades with other GardenWeb members." It is not to rate those who do not send the mailers and required stuff for an SASBE. Yes, it's a real pain to save seeds for someone and a real waste of time not to receive the mailer, but it is their loss not yours and to set yourself up to be scammed all the time is really not what GW is all about. If someone doesn't want to be responsible for sending their required info, postage and mailer for an SASBE offer, I doupt they will send the postage after the fact and they have the seeds in their hands. My last SASBE offer had over 50 responses. I'm still waiting on 15 bubble mailers. If they aren't here by next monday, then the seeds go back out for another SASBE offer. I included the following in my e-mail with the info and my addy to send the mailer. "please have the mailer to me within 2 weeks. I only hold seeds for that length of time, after that the seeds go back out for trades and I can't promise to have the seeds for you." I don't email that I haven't received the mailer, that's the person sending the SASBE responsibility if they haven't received the seeds. I offer, they respond and send the mailer, if they don't receive the seeds, then it is their responsibility to contact me, not the other way around. I have had lots of no shows on the SASBE, and have had only one person contact me that they didn't receive the seeds, and I hadn't gotten the mailer and it was still within the 2 weeks time frame. She remailed a mailer and I got that one and sent the seeds. I do e-mail that the seeds have been mailed, the date they where mailed and ask to let me know when they get the seeds. But I do think that sending the seeds on your own and expecting the postage to be sent, after the fact, is nothing more than a set up to be scammed and it seems we have quite a few of them posting for seeds lately.

Comments (17)Ken, I can't say for Larch, but we have had a couple shrubs that the same basic thing happened to. In short they never rooted properly on that side again. IMHO, even it it re-roots on that side, it will always be less than it needs to be. Lets say this plant lost 30% of it's root system when it lost them on that side. So the plant must replace 30% of it's root mass. If all that was on the one side, then great, but that is not what's going to happen. Instead the SOS signal will go out to grow roots, all roots, until the 30% are replaced. But the replacement will be over the entire root system. So for that side at most you would have is 30% x 30%, or 9% of the root system in the area that had 30% of the root system before. Result an always poorly root tree on the side that lost roots, and almost certain eventual failure. This ignores delays in rooting due to having to push new root buds from that side, while roots continue to grow on the rest of the root system, IF it pushes new roots from that side at all. From the trees POV, it has all these other roots that are growing that can just take up all the slack, and therefore no new roots are needed on that side. So IMHO, remove it, and replace when possible, or go in a different direction. Arktrees...See Morehow long should i hold on this lime tree ?
Comments (6)I think it's a beautiful tree, but personally, I only have trees that serve my purposes. That is to fruit, flower, and smell good. If it does not flower or fruit after you have exhausted all possibilities and that is your sole reason for it, I would terminate or give another tree that preferred sunny area and give that tree another spot for its beautiful greenery. You never know, after 5 years, it might surprise you if it is grafted as you said. By the way, it's nice to meet you :) hoping all things are ok across the pond for you.

Comments (5)Laptop Recalibration As a laptop gets older, it starts to slow down a little. You may notice that pages load slower, videos take longer to start playing, and general slowness of the machine. Unfortunately, thousands of people a year replace their laptop batteries without performing any monthly recalibration on it at all. If you want to get the best performance out of your laptop, here are a few steps to follow. - Charge your laptop's battery all the way to 100%. -Once the laptop is fully charged, unplug it and let the battery drain. Feel free to use the laptop during this period, as it will help it drain more quickly. Once you see that the battery is almost empty, save your work and close any open pages. Then let the laptop shut itself off. -Let the dead battery sit for about 5 or 6 hours, or overnight. This will help eliminate any leftover charge the battery may have, and lets the battery start over from zero. -After you've let your laptop sit, plug it back in and let it charge all the way to 100% before using it again. Battery maintenance is an important process that many people neglect. Recalibration should be done monthly if possible to ensure best results. If done on a regular basis, you should notice greatly extended battery life on your computer, and hopefully postpone the purchase of any replacement parts....See Morelabmomma
