How much should I fuss over ph with peat-based potting mix?
Comments (8)Thanks, Al. I just may experiment with this method with a couple of my containers and see what happens. Interestingly, the EarthBox people sanction the one-time addition of a small amount of hydrated lime added directly to the water reservoir as an emergency correction for tomato BER (I forgot the actual amount, it's in the EarthBox forums). They note that this is not an immediate fix but should help within a week or two. I tried it last year with some tomatoes in real EBs that had terrible midseason BER with the first fruits set (I did add the suggested amount of dolomite lime at planting, but it's common to get BER in my EBs, especially early on). The problem did go away within a couple of weeks of adding the lime to water, and the plants did just fine. It is impossible to know whether the lime treatment fixed the BER or whether it went away on its own, as it often does. But it didn't seem to hurt, anyway.

Comments (12)Hey walkin -- I'm *far* from an expert on this--people here helped me on the one I've done. I bought a kit of the precut wood and MDF parts, complete with screws and such, truth be told, just because I didn't want to have to do all the measuring and cutting--sometimes I hit "tilt" and have to take the easy way out. The kit was from eBay. We did buy better foam, however, than the kit came with. And we also wrapped it. Probably way overdoing it. It wasn't hard at all, in fact rather enjoyable in an instant-gratification kind of way (esp. since I didn't have to do the cutting :))--we did do two rows of staples, alternating spaces kind of like sewing stitches, because the fabric seemed to pull between the stitches so I wanted it anchored completely. We didn't edge it with wood, but we could--we just did a simple rectangle which extends 24" above the surface of the mattress (we have a high mattress--if you were to purchase the same set and not have as high a mattress setup, it would be taller unless you cut it down). We love the simple lines. It would be easy to put wood around this if we chose to, or to make a slipcover for it down the line....See MoreHow much would a 9x9 concrete pad cost to have installed? ballpark
Comments (11)This is a perfect example why it's important to get local quotes.I my area we would do it for half that. In your area it my require a permit and trench footing which would substantialy raise the price. I'm buying concrete here for $110 yard but there would be a upcharge because a 1.5 yard load does not meet the minumum for the truck to deliver....See MoreHow much filler in corner for IKEA base drawers?
Comments (2)At a minimum, you need the depth of the drawer fronts plus the projection of your handles and pulls. And then I would add at least an inch. If its too tight, it will look funny IMO....See More- 8 years ago
