Some faucet comparisons
Comments (2)Bussdriver..contact Home Depot and get a copy of their Maintenance Solutions Catalog. It has complete exploded view breakdowns for almost all faucets with complete listing of the parts. I find that in many instances their catalog is faster than having the service manual. They also have Actual size illustrations of almost all faucet stems. You can actually take a stem out and lay it on the diagram for ID. Maintenance Solutions was formerly "Maintenance Warehouse" and primarily targeted their sales to Apartment and institutional maintenance departments. The catalogs are as big as a large phone book, about 1500 pages and cover every aspect of maintenance from paint to millwork, including , HVAC, Plumbing, irrigation, Electrical, lighting, general and specialty hardware, tools, janitorial supplies, pool supplies, paints and sundries related to painting, appliances, and even hospitality. If you set up an account with Maintenance Solutions you can call in an order by 4pm one day and its delivered UPS the next, or you can elect to pick it up at your local HD the next day....See MoreIlex integra and some of its hybrids for comparison

Comments (58)I have been following this thread off and on. Frankly controversies often lead to interesting bits of information and insight and I definitely like how Al handles them. And at the same time he takes the time to explain his reasoning behind them. Over the years I have started partially/fully defoliating some plants while transitioning from indoors to outdoors. Over the years I noticed Al encourage that for ficus and I tried that on several of my ficus and the results are quite spectacular. The reasoning behind it makes a lot of sense to me. here is a pure conjecture for what it is worth: Besides Al's reasoning I also suspect that dramatic change in UV exposure has something to do with it too. My hypothesis is that indoor leaves loose the 'natural sunscreen' that leaves have outdoors and cannot regain it back easily. UV is very high energy photons (UVA is 16x more energetic than red) and quite destructive. When a plant is slowly acclimatized, I suspect photosynthesis levels are increased but so does the energy wasted to deal with the destructive powers of UV. I have tried it (partially defoliating) on several other plants like guava, hibiscus, bougainvillea and few others with great results. Early this season I did the same on a small lemon plant. I am quite pleased with the results. It has all new leaves, two quite good sized lemons and it looks stronger and healthier than it used to be. Compared to that another plant (same lemon and same beginning size) went through a stasis, grew some and dropped some, produced flowers but never set fruit. It is not conclusive experiment but interesting nevertheless. Vlad you said about Al: In the past when I asked for scientific references for some of the things that you have said you avoided providing them and instead told me that I should trust you because of your many years of experience. I think you have beaten that dead horse many times, inserting that pet peeve of yours in many threads. It is time to move on. But you managed to embed an accusation that I have never seen Al do. You are referring to this comment: https://www.houzz.com/discussions/miracle-gro-garden-soil-experiment-dsvw-vd~5348646 The reply by Al, in my opinion, was spot on and had no reference to years of experience that you seem to accuse him of. A scientist does what Sherlock Holmes explained best: "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth" Next you said: Tell me how my criticisms of Al are not accurate. Just because you cannot get through 300 words without losing the plot is really not a criticism of Al. I wonder how you will get through 10000 words in the scientific reference you are seeking. Out of your five posts in this thread four of them are dedicated to trying to get even with Al. Please try to move on....See MoreSome of my none citrus, small part.
Comments (16)Katie, paw paw. Is a problem with me, have tried so many of them and start to loose interest. I have about 16 tree’s with no tags anymore. There is just no way for me to continue. It’s hard to eat many of them and nobody wants them. Last two years were really bad, pick several buckets and made small deposits in the woods to start a colony. Mango? You made a good start with those. Mango could get a little different, that is ,if you get good in pruning and keep them in check to come with a nice canopy, very short main trunk,etc, challenging to say the least, but doable. Figs, like my oriental persimmon, use to have a large variety, not anymore, too much the same, have about 20 of them but only 4 varieties, Smith, Negronne, Veolette de Solies, Chicago Hardy and a few others with lost Tags In the ground. Like to know more about your operation, interesting, Bob....See MoreJohn 9a
