Al. I have a question about PWT? Thank you
Comments (2)A layer of Hydroton on the bottom of containers would be about the same as a layer of marbles of the same size. Initially, when they were dry, they'd absorb some water, but after they were wet, they'd remain saturated. If the layer was shallow, it would have no impact on reducing the ht of the perched water table & probably nearly no impact on o/a water retention. If the layer was deep, soil would probably rest on top of the layer & cause the PWT to be even taller than w/o the Hydroton. They wouldn't have any notable impact on drainage (flow through rates), and if you were just looking for ballast to reduce o/a water retention, marbles or stones (something not internally porous) would actually be a better choice.

Comments (8)I grow silene because there are so many different ones and I keep trying. My recent find is absolutely stunning- Silene Purple Prince from PWS. It is most gorgeous purple foliage in the spring and stunning magenda flowers all, repeat- all summer, it takes a part shade well. Violas are just like pansies- am not sure what difference is I grow them every year for spring show, this year they bloomed all through summer since it was pretty cool. Carol, if you would be interested in silene seeds I have some. Am totally outdated on my seed page and have not been trading at all....See MoreWith a Kiss - ploidy question
Comments (4)The Shooters work a lot with Diploids and have really brought a lot of the advanced characteristics into that line of breeding. I can't say for sure as I don't have that CV - but I wouldn't doubt it, if they say it is a Dip. If you really want to be sure, you could email them. I have always gotten a response - even when I was asking about the pod and pollen parents for quite a few of their intros. Good Luck!!...See MoreI have a couple of questions about granite I hope you can help me
Comments (18)Blue Pearl has been around a long time, and will be around a lot longer... When I first started in the "slab side" of this Trade, some 23 years ago, Blue Pearl was one of the first kinds of Granite that I had ever worked with - still love it today, except there's a whole lot more choices now - then there was 23 years ago... I think the "regional" thingy has some validity, but in the end, it's strictly a personal choice issue - I saw alot more of Blue Pearl in the Mid-West than out here in Phoenix... But I'm just a Fabrimicator - not an Inferior Desicrator!!! HA!!!! my .02 cents worth kevin Kevin M.
