Update: DIY Grow Bags/Air Pots
Comments (9)Wow, looks like this thread continued without me noticing! It's great to see the interest. Legacy, I think that's a heck of an idea! I'll get to work on it soon. I tried playing around with a few different "molds" tonight, seeing if I could use something such as a tuperware container to form the screen. It partially worked, yet I couldn't get the screen to maintain shape after pulling it out from the tuperware. I used two containers of a few different sizes that were stackable. One container served as the bottom half of the mold and the top container as the top half and also as a compressor. I had mixed results. Ultimately I was attempting to compress a shape without having to make vertical cuts in the sides as you had suggested. I was hoping it would maintain shape while I pulled it out of the mold so I could staple the sides without having to make cuts. But alas, I could never get them to hold shape no matter how much force I applied compressing the two containers together. So I'm going to try the vertical cut technique you had suggested. I'm really exited about it as it should make the process very efficient if I can get the process perfected. Tim, that's a great idea too with the tomato planter. I've got a similar situation in my back yard: lots of concrete, but little soil. If I'm ever struck by the tomato bug, I'll definitely give it a shot. If you decide to try it next year, please let us know how it turns out! James thanks for sharing your experiences too. I'm glad you're having success with the air pots. That drives me even further to try and perfect this DIY attempt. I like your idea of using plastic buckets with holes burned in them, however I am at a loss for spare buckets at this time. But in the long run such a container would definitely be more structurally sound and last nearly forever. If anyone has more ideas, please share them with everyone. Thanks again! -Brandon...See MoreAir purifiers
Comments (8)I have Ionic breeze machines in the master bedroom and DD's room. And in the bathroom that houses the cat's litter box, I use a filter that plugs into an outlet and has charcoal filtering. I got it at Target and it is called TrueAire. It really keeps the kitty odor away! The ionic breezes really trap a lot of dust, etc, and I felt like they really helped a lot last winter during flu season to help us breathe well while sleeping....See MoreProbably going to try my air propagators soon!
Comments (14)Came back to let you know what happened just now. The clear side was getting green inside around the top, and I figured it was a loss (didn't see any roots). I went and cut it off. I popped it open pulled the cane out, dropped it...then noticed it had a couple roots on it. I hurriedly grabbed a high country pot, and gently potted it in organic potting soil, watered it, and put it in a shady spot. I don't know if it will survive, but I now have hope for the 3 new ones. I fully stripped the cambium layer on the 3 new ones, and covered the clam shell with foil, so sunlight stays out. I think this first one was slower to root, because I left a lot of the cambium layer, and the green mildew was from light hitting the clear side. So yeah it works, I just needed to tweak some things. Give it a go! This video helped a lot, and shows exactly where and how to strip the bark right under a leaf node. https://youtu.be/rOjf7LliPmM...See MoreAnyone try the air purifying bags?
Comments (2)They appear to be just bags of charcoal, like aquarium charcoal, which you could buy for much less money and just put out in an open dish or your own fabric bag. IME charcoal works great but primarily for closed areas like closets, not so well for a whole room, although it helps some....See Moremaifleur01
