I don't think I've ever had someone emailing me to sell plants but I have had emails wanting to buy my plants. I just explained I didn't do mailorder. I have another pet peeve...getting request on one of my post that is 4-weeks or older ...most specially if there was a large number of request when the post was first made. Getting cranky in my old age I guess.*G* P

Hi Anne: Don't want to burst your bubble, but if you go on www.snopes.com there are various versions to this story. I am posting the link so you can see exactly what I'm talking about. However, I was laughing my butt off as I read it. Thanks for the laugh. It came at a time when I really needed it. Jenny Here is a link that might be useful: mistaken troll

There's four inserts I commonly make. This is a 32oz Deli cup. There quite common. On any recycling day you can take a walk thru your neiborhood a find a number of them. Of what I did at 55 I don't feel like doing at 70. I buy a case of 500 at a shot. Don't need the lids but some do. You can use it like a mulch. Why the solder iron than a knife. The thing that keep plastic elastic is a gas that's in between the structure of the plastics. If you cut it it leaches out. Causing it to become brittle. Especially in sunlight. Spray paint if your leaving it outside. Both the insert and the container. The design of the insert (32oz cup) shows three different The upper part before the slits in the air zone. This area is always dry. The lower area right below that is the sometime moist area. Notice the slits are of two different numbers. It's the 2nd line in the row of three that begins the always moist area and the water level.. Now what "I" mean by always moist. The water level is just a small hole in the side of the container. More on that later. Because once you plug in the insert there's no where for the water to evaporate. So it's forced to transpire out thru the leaves. As the water drops even below the cup the evaporated water in still in the container keeping the roots that extend thru the cup are kept moist. So even if the container is empty the plants still live on the moisture in the air. Oh, these thing generally go 30 days or more with out refill. See here's where the best part for me is. You never empty these. Just refill with water. There's no ph issues because this method uses soil fauna to create a symbolic relationship between plant and bacteria. The plant creates it's own ph environment. While I'm not looking to write a book it might be a novel idea for some so have to give what information I think will be relevant. Use marking pen to trace the outside edge of the cup. Cutting hole use the little nut holding the tip as a guide. Keep it along the inside edge and it will catch the lid right on the lip. I used knee high nylons for mesh. I can cut the hose in half for the 32oz insert. Tie a knot in the cut part and the elastic at the to will hold it in place. The lower half you can stretch to catch on the slits. Here's what it looks like when it's done. I use Velcro tabs, one on the container for the water level and the other just stuck lightly for the over flow to run out. That's really all there is to it. Next putting it together with the plant.
