I am occasionally tormented by "Happy Talk" from South Pacific. And since seeing my friends' new show which includes two tunes from Fiorello, the chrous from "Little Tin Box" now alternates inside my head with "Happy Talk." Gah, make it stop!!!!!! P.S.: Those are NOT my friends performing in the attached clip! Karen Here is a link that might be useful: (Annoying) Little Tin Box

But then you'll have Gilligan's song stuck in your head. I don't get it! LOL Great now I'm whistling that tune :) DH gets such a kick out of getting random, annoying songs stuck in my head. He'll walk through quietly singing or humming a tune then stop. Sure enough a few minutes I'll start up with that song. He'll either laugh right away or he'll wait for the inevitable "why am I singing that song?". Then he'll giggle and go on his merry way. I think it was Dr Demento that had the song; This is the song that'll drive you insane Cause it grows inside your brain You hear somebody singing it Not knowing what it was So you continue singing it Forever just because This is the song that'll drive you insane... (repeat until someone throes something at you :)

What is in a pot does not matter, as long as it's not toxic to the plant in some way, just its' texture & ability to retain moisture & oxygen @ the same time. If it has no inherent fertility, very effective fertilizers exist to serve those needs. I don't doubt you at all. I don't have access to ingredients for that so I can't offer any feedback about it. If buying a bag, I look for cactus/palm soil, but go more by weight over what it says, and look for a broke bag to inspect and make sure there's no peat in it, and hopefully not much perlite. If it's not lightweight for its' size, it's not helping me reduce the weight of larger pots, and probably not going to help with keeping more oxygen in the soil. Digression alert, probably on this whole post... I don't want to be confusing either, and do not offer any of this as a recommendation because it has evolved over quite some time of trial'n'error, and other, personal factors like personal acute dislike of perlite & seeing those little white things in my pots, a lot of reading about roots & microbiology, dislike of spending much $ to have something in a pot in which a plant can grow, realizing that if there is no peat, I can probably keep a plant alive, ...and especially to someone in the middle of a city without a yard. I'll use anything but peat/potting soil, and often add some roughage from compost pile. Dracaenas grow fine in ground dirt from the "good dirt" part of a tended plot, especially if I'm going to repot them often anyway. Fine for smaller plants but way too heavy for a plant of decent size. Since all old "dirt" gets put into flower beds, I don't put anything in pots that I wouldn't put in/on the ground. This is why I quit buying flats of annuals to use in the ground and started putting my house plants instead, because I kept finding styrofoam instead of perlite in the soil of them. I refuse to bury other people's non-biodegradable trash in my yard.

I have designed a few things in laundry rooms for clients that really maximize the space. A built in company can give you something sturdy that is customized for your space. If you need to do something on the lower price side these pictures may give you some inspiration. One is storage created above and on the sides of full size units. The other is a mud room that had a broom closet added and over head storage. My best advice would be design for the long run, don't do anything that won't convert well if you end up going to the stackable units.
