Have you run out of room for plants?
Comments (15)I am longing to hear what Retiredprof has to say, but, I won't ask :-) On a serious note, I do have some of those flower pouches and I still don't have the "hang" of them yet. And I bought one with loads of pansies in it for my MIL two years ago and it was crazy how root bound the whole thing got after a couple of months. It was turned into all roots and no soil! I tore it apart for her and replanted the pansies in her flower beds. Seems like once the pouch fills out and starts looking beautiful, it's about time to break it down. I'm not sure how to deal with them to keep the pretty all growing season. Linda...See Morewhen you run out of room..
Comments (16)philofan,I agree with you. They got me started back in 1989 on my first visit,when it was just Dennis and Linda doing most of the daily work. Their Cargo Report has been a ton of information and and a bromeliad travelogue over the years,and I've not been disappointed in any shipments from them.It must take a lot of time and effort to just get one CR made up. I think they may be in a bind regarding growing so large and so fast,which can really hurt the 'attention to detail' that most small businesses can give. And hiring more Reliable help just grows the cycle of having to sell more to cover the costs.Soon,all the fun is gone from the 'hobby'. But bambi too has a good point. When you have soooo much to sell,(see photo above),and need to,its not a good idea to keep it a secret. I think that catalog list,on line,and by mail would surely be a better way to serve and Satisfy the customer base,before it all turns to Michaels out of frustration,and MK has surely earned his excellent reputation. However,we are not privy to Dennis's plan for the future of Tropiflora,and he has stated in a past CR,it will change to meet the needs of the customers,so I continue to have faith that he means what he says. Meanwhile,he does have the occasionl CR,and VIPP,and as said above,some will find it great,others ho-hum. But isn't that the way it is with most everything ?

Comments (36)Bunkers - that was really neat. I also picked the Dueling Banjos; tight man. I once fell in love with a woman drinking whiskey; I walked into my bar and was the place empty except one woman in a black leather coat sitting alone, drinking whiskey. I sat right next to her and we both (continued) - and then all of a sudden, "wham" she fell backwards off her seat and crashed to the floor. It was from that moment forward we fell in love for, more than a year. I still talk to her to this day on the telephone.

Comments (6)Other than simply location of the thermostat, it sounds more like you have too bid a swing temperature? Some thermostats have a setting that determines how narrow or wide the range can be- for instance, if you set the temp to 70, it will heat up to 72, turn off, then cool down to 68 before it goes back on. That is a 2 degree swing (above and below) giving your room a FOUR degree difference! If it were one degree swing, the difference would be 69-71 for a 70 degree setting. I personally find even a 1 degree swing noticeable as I tend to be cold. It is normal that you would totally sense a different comfort level with a wider swing. The smaller the swing, the more your system will cycle on and off to maintain the tighter temp range. Some thermostats are only one setting, though, so you have to look at the manual for yours. I think that is the most likely thing, but I am by far no expert. and yes, the celing fans help keep the hot air off the ceiling during winter when run in reverse on slow- especially good for those vaulted ceilings....See Moreccrdmrbks
