Need to widen my stream???
Comments (3)I'm not sure what your setup is--can you dig out underneath the liner, making the stream deeper? Or you don't have enough liner for that, either? Given the time of year, check for leaves. It's amazing to me how much a couple leaves in the wrong place can mess up my stream, sending the water lapping over the banks...though the dirt subsides under my mounded up banks, too, and I've had to repair a couple of those. If you absolutely have to add liner, it's doable, my stream's long enough I had to splice the liner several times....See MoreWhat device I need to use? Diagram attached.
Comments (7)I am not sure what the diagram represents. The subreservoirs: what is their purpose? If those are the planters, then here is what you do: Set your planters at a higher level. set the blue reservoir at a level lower than the planters. Use an immersible pump in the blue drum to pump the nutrient up to the planters and use passive drainage to let the solution drain back from planters to the drum. You perhaps should search the net for "hydroponics DIY". that will give you the basics. There is a lot written on the web about it. The pump can be bought at walmart in the fish tank section or at twice the price from Hydroponic stores or very cheap from ebay. One suggestion, if this is your first time gardening, do soil gardening first, then move on to hydroponics. If you do hydroponics now, do an "ebb & flow" or "fill & drain" system, it is easier and lot more forgiving. In either case, start out real small and experiment. You first season will be just learning. Good luck....See MoreNeed help landscaping around my backyard stream
Comments (8)On the poison ivy, it's very easy to identify in the growing stage. You can see pictures on Google. All parts of the plant is poisonous as all times, so once you learn to identify the leaves, study the aerial roots and stems and avoid the plant during winter as well. It's very easy to get rid of. Cut any climbing vines and spray the rest with roundup. It will come back so let it get 2-3' ht and spray it again. Repeat this process until it is gone. If one comes in contact with it accidentally, a soapy shower will wash off the toxin. Be careful not to touch the dirty clothes again. I've been exposed and gone 20 or 25 minutes (I think) before washing it off and escaped injury. (It was awhile back so the sooner, the better.)...See MoreFavorite Streaming Device?
Comments (28)Thank you all! Your responses made my decision easy. I just purchased the Roku from BB. The sales person failed to mention the HDMI cable was not included, so I cannot yet report on the ease of set-up. I had no idea BluRay doubled as a media streaming device. I'll keep that in mind if we use this enough to get another television, or upgrade the current TV. We only have one small television in the house, so I appreciate everyone's expert advice!...See More
