Question for tapla - 100% turface mixtures
Comments (95)1) Volume 2) If you're using Reptibark (or prescreened 1/8-1/4" other conifer bark), Turface/calcined DE, and grower grit (no crushed shellfish shells), all you'll need is insect screen to eliminate the fines. If you're screening your own pine bark, you'll also need 1/2" and 18" screen. Ask for hardware cloth at hardwares or big box stores. Real hardwares probably sell it by the foot. 3) You may not need the extra water retention, but if you do you can use 3 Turface or DE 2 bark 2 grit or the next step would be 3 bark 4 Turface or DE 2 grit I don't, but you can if you want. When it gets really hot, you'll want to reduce the amount of fertilizer you use, and you can't do that using CRFs. If you do use one, try to be sure it's as close to a 3:1:2 ratio as possible and that it contains all the essential nutrients, including Ca & Mg - most don't. I like Foliage-Pro with the gritty mix because it has everything in the right ratio and it doesn't utilize urea as it's N source, which is a considerable plus for houseplants.

Comments (7)I haven't chosen any of the hardware yet, so I am open to suggestions. But these are pretty cheapo 1980's cabinets, not as nice as any posted here :) The first picture posted is very nice, but those shaker cabinets have more to them than ours. I don't want a very modern look, I like it in other people's kitchens but it's not what fits in my house. Here's the kitchen shortly after we moved in - the paint job the PO did on the cabinets is horrible and needs to be stripped and re-done. The countertops are now concrete, the dishwasher is a new white one, and I'm putting in white subway tile backsplash... so lots of white I love a bright kitchen. Our home is decorated in traditional-transitional style....See MoreOdd Tiny Windows- How to Style
Comments (26)@BeverlyFLADeziner Thank you- I knew something bothered me about the room the way they staged it to sell but I could not figure out what it was. I appreciate all the comments and ideas! I had thought of possibly adding beams in here to the ceiling! I’m trying to figure out the best shape/style of chandelier for this room. The foyer/entry light, a more wide/beefy one where they have the dining room table (but hung higher so we can walk under it as we won’t have a table under it), and I will need to coordinate with a new dining table light fixture in the kitchen/dining area that is visible from this room. I think a dark finish would look best. Front door faces to the west I believe but window is somewhat shaded from a tree/shrub in the front yard. This room will be our music room/library/company visiting room. I have a couch I will center between the two square windows as part of the seating area. I have several tall bookcases I would like work into this room (one is shown in photos of our current living room)- they all match. I plan on removing the staged dining table and putting our piano on the wall where the dining area is located currently and using the area for our music stand and string instruments, sheet music/books....See MoreI have a very odd style house with a flat roof.

Comments (4)All black really just looks like a black hole. If you want a dark color, try something softer/warmer - Urbane Bronze is a shade that I have seen used very nicely - and play around with judicious use of contrasting or complimentary color on some trim or surfaces (I do like the dark window frames). Cedar accents really work well with dark to medium grays and dark blues....See MoreRedRyder
