Cheapest plastic garden beds?
Comments (19)fdrnicholas You just aren't going to find inexpensive plastic lumber anywhere. I, personally, don't think it's all that expensive to make even with recycled plastic, but I think the vendors all charge very high prices for it with the excuse that it "lasts a lifetime". And it probably does, as most plastic items do. I do understand why you want to replace your wooden frames with something that will last longer in your climate, but if you want the plastic stuff, you're just going to have to lay out the money for it. It's hard to tell the final cost for the stuff from the internet because shipping is almost never shown until you're well into the order. You might check locally to compare prices. If you can find a reasonable price for the lumber locally, there are metal corners that you can order to hold the frame together. See the link below. These appear to me to be the very simplest and easiest ones to use -- I don't think they even require nails or screws. The cost would be about $28 per bed for four of them (plus shipping) and then the cost of the lumber. So, good luck! Here is a link that might be useful: Stackable Corner Joints...See Morewhere can i buy a thousand acres or less at the cheapest pric
Comments (10)You have been very active on this site. You are asking the wrong question. You need to use the internet to find listings that meet your criteria. The "cheapest" land may not be "cheap" once you factor in what you need to do to make it work for you. I have seen some VERY cheap land, and upon further inspection found deed restrictions (some properties are deeded to prevent EVER building on them), access issues (lack of road frontage, so called land-locked), water rights reastrictions, etc. Properties such as these are literally worthless, so if someone can get $10 per acre, then they have made a steal. Be careful what you ask for, you just may get it....See MoreWhat is the cheapest type of system to run & maintain?
Comments (26)Well, I am sorry to tell you that you have either totally missed or avoided my real point all along, greystroke. You give a lot of input here, but nothing hits the nail even remotely on the head. How can that be? It is NOT at all about determining any elemental content in components or solutions! I am calculating my formulas in a very conventional and reliable way. I am using my own nutrient calculator. I can also cross-check the results with other nutrient calculators in case (which I frequently did until it was completed). So there is no doubt about the data I use and apply. Anyway, with a nutrient calculator there is no need to have a PhD in theoretical physics or chemistry anymore, to get it right. There is no need to do any supplementary measurements or tests either. What I was talking about here ALL ALONG, was the difference between actual elemental content in a nutrient solution (which is the result of standard formulas and values in use) and the final EC-reading of the same solution. Because there apparently (well actually) is a significant difference (10-15%). Please let's focus to finally get to a point here (figure of speech): have you ever calculated, weighted components and used your own formulas to actually make COMPLETE nutrients? Have you used a nutrient calculator, or have you cross-checked your results with one? If yes, have you ever compared the total elemental ppm that your solution is supposed to have (mathematically and by commonly used values for components), - with the actual and final EC-reading of that same solution? If yes, have you noticed any differences? If yes, how do you explain it? PS: is there anyone else who has insight here and is able to give some input about this end of the equation? Sorry to insist - No offense here: I mean THIS very end of the equation - Thanks!...See Morecheapest time of the year to buy windows
Comments (22)Any window or door not installed correctly can and most likely will bow. Yes, an out of square installation can cause stress cracks in the glass, but the more likely and more immediate consequence is cold air infiltration. This is especially true with Bay and Bow windows that use steel cabling to help secure the window. This is why most Pro's constantly espouse the importance of a quality installation and why the most frequent complaint about new windows is relative to a poor quality installation. . ....See Moremad_gallica (z5 Eastern NY)
