Half and half for half.
Comments (3)Hi Nick. I have potted a few plants similar to how you describe. Having moved recently to Florida, I might as well be on the moon. My growing sense is lost and I try to read the plants rather depend on how others are growing. I recently repotted a large Angraeceum in a wooden basket with wide slats. Lined the sides and bottom with a layer of sphag and filled the inside with large bark and some large perlite. I also put a Aerathes in a wire basket lined with sphag and filled the interior with smaller bark, perlite and a some additional sphag mixed in. What I'm finding is the outside layer of sphagnum dries out quickly forming a crusty semi-wall to the baskets. When I water, it runs through channels in the sphag but never wets it. Not sure I like this. I thought the sphag would get moist maintaining some moisture to the bark interior which isn't happening. Bark is dry an hour after watering. I'm not so concerned about my huge Angraecum as it sends thick roots down into the mix. Its the Aeranthes which doesn't seem to like the conditions. It is sending thin roots upward away from the pot and winding around itself. Today I dunked the wire basket into a bucket of water and let the whole thing soak up the water. Of course, the sphag wall began to float out releasing some of the bark. Well, long enough story. Post back and let me know how you like this set up. Of course, I'm sure I did something wrong, but I find the wall of sphag stays too dry. Florida is hot and has been extremely dry. Fire warnings every day. Wind blows and the plants dry out very fast. Being a lazy waterer, I've made trouble for myself. I do know that shortly the rains will start as well as the humidity. Hopefully, this potting experiment will pay off.

Comments (20)Here is a 19 in. x 13 1/2 in. x 8 1/2 in. roaster that I use for 16-20 lb. turkeys. There's room to spare in the lower convection oven. I haven't cooked in the oven yet. It's still going through the burn in phase. But I must say it's extremely well insulated. I had the upper oven at 500 degrees, & the lower oven had no spill over heat. Heating the lower oven to 500 didn't leak heat into the upper oven either. I could wipe down one while the other was at very high heat. No heat on the side of the cabinet, & the doors were luke warm at best. The convection fan is quieter than my Miele dishwasher. It's certainly quieter than my rattle-y old KitchenAid convection oven. At least with the KitchenAid you knew when the oven was running! This one, I'll have to train my ears to listen for it....See MoreUpdating a small half bath, can I use this mirror over a new vanity?
Comments (2)Without measurements, information on the shape of sink, the fixture finish, the color of walls, etc, commenting on your choice is impossible. Just as a general observation, my answer would be no, It would look great, though, in an outside shower....See MoreMiele dishwasher tabs - yes, you can use half a tab
Comments (13)I hate to bump this old thread but I have a question that is related to the discussion here. I have also cut my Miele tabs in half since the day I got it, on the suggestion of the Miele installer. Cutting them has always involved some effort with a serrated knife because they are so dense. But the last batch of tabs I bought cut so much more easily. I cut right through them without much effort and now I am wondering if the ones I have now might be knock offs, or the ones I've had before were knock offs (purchased from different sellers) or if the composition has changed which makes them easier to cut. Someone above said "I easily cut Miele tabs in half with kitchen scissors" and I don't think the ones I've had in the past could be cut with regular kitchen scissors. Might be able to cut the ones I have now with scissors though. Is there even a problem with Miele knock offs? I don't feel like there is a big enough market to make producing them worthwhile. Anyway, just wondering if anyone who cuts their tabs in half has noticed any changed....See Moreblfenton
