Wife just told me they compared our local weather for Monday with Iceland,Russia & Alaska and we are going to be colder. -40 windchill.

What do you think you will do for a bottom? You could probably find a pot that will fit in the hole and cover the edge of the pot with moss if you use it in a show.

Just thought I'd let you guys know about an iPhone app I used this summer to help learn my local trees around here. You can place a leaf on a white background and take a pic and it will give you a list of trees with pics of the leaves in the order of closest resembling the one in the picture...

The burgundy colored one might be a type of dogwood. Not the normal shape of a dogwood but close in color. Let me know if you find out what it is because I have a little one the same size that was by the grill.

Thanks for this. I was going to try the papercrete meathod where it was shredded newspaper soaked for a couple days then mixed with cement for a light weight concrete. This seems a lot easier. I asked my wife for a bag of cement for Christmas and the look she gave me was priceless.

No worries, I was reading so many contradicting articles and videos that I had to ask. I found I can trust these guys on here with the experience. So much to learn here I wish I would of found it sooner. There's to many people acting as teachers on youtube and its probably there first year at...

I water every other day mostly except if its real hot then its everyday and since I was worried about it I'm always watching the water as it drains. It seems after the soil gets soaked it drains as fast as I pour it in. This was my first year using the drywall tape but if it does as well next...

Told myself last night I was going to pick up some Oreos after work and completely forgot until now. Dang it!

Glad this thread came up because I've got drywall tape in everything I've repoted so far and was a little worried if it would hold up. I use a small square of duct tape on each side to keep it from moving. Also it has a glue on it to help it stick to the drywall but figured it would wash out...

Hey Ed, I think I've seen a stone wall pot on here. Might have to try one. I'm in Johnstown. And the slate I've got a few hundred of them and was thinking of useing a couple to plant in the ground on top of. Looks good as a slab. Seems they might be a little fragile especially when wet. Do you...

Hope you guys can make up your mind. Post some before and after pics
