    Tons of these bugs in my garden bed! Please help identify

    They look like the silverfish we have, except they aren't silver..... I packed my NAS north american insect guide already, sorry. I imagine they are shredders. They are probably beneficial. The bite marks on the leaves are probably from something else. These look like they feed on the...

    Topsy Turvy

    Topsy turveys are terrible. I wouldn't waste a penny on it if I were you. I tried one, and had horrible results. They also bake the roots. The dirt dries out in hours, not days. The baffles impede water distribution. The water makes channels, and runs out, missing the dirt altogether. The plants...

    Tool Time

    I gave up on the weed eaters. The string/wire fails before the job is done every time, leaving to re-wind the spool in order to finish. This is not due to my own error, it happens right out of the box. I even got the thickes gas powered eater on the market. It even has two whips. Same problem. I...

    Things People Do To Their Cats!!!

    I'm sure most or all of the photos shown are fake, but people really do paint, and dye animals.

    Anyone good with orchids?

    That's pretty much the way it is for me. Keep it small, keep it all. It's a ton of work during this recession though.

    The book is called "teaming with microbes" by Jeff Lowenfells & Wayne Lewis I transplanted the Keiki. I used about one 30th of the bag I think. Here are the pics of the orchid transplant;

    Anyone good with orchids?

    I had planned on just squeezing most of the water out of the portion I rehydrate. I intend to leave it like a damp sponge, and then work with it. I was just going to start watering it like usual the next day. I think on the second watering I'll give it some fertilizer from the bottom tray, and...

    Anyone good with orchids?

    I still haven't gotten around to potting it. I have been absolutely slammed with s*** happening. Too bad all the, ehem, doesn't pay.

    Anyone good with orchids?

    A custom cabinet, and woodworking shop. Mostly kitchens, and entertainment centers. Because of the economy, I am offering custom for less than home depot to keep the phone ringing. I went and got some mix today. Hydro Farm's Oganic Coco Coir. It's a big 5 pound brick that has to be...

    Anyone good with orchids?

    Honestly, I have not made it to the store. I got really swamped in my shop. I am going to try to make it to the store this weekend.

    Anyone good with orchids?

    The red on the leaf came after I moved it away from the light. That leaf is the newest one. These lights do weird things to plants. Like speed up the flowering process, and fruit development. I like that, it's just remarkable. I think this CFL light is easier for the plants to use/eat or...

    That helps a lot. Thank you. I'll put up some pictures of it when I am done.

    Anyone good with orchids?

    Now that you can see the pot it is in, is it big enough? Should I discard the old plant once I re-plant the keiki?
