This " ??????????" vendor??

I'm 30 minutes or so north of Charlotte. I know they have a club in Charlotte that meets at UNCC, but they meet on Saturday mornings. I'm retired and work 1 1/2 days a week. Guess when the half day is? That's right.............Saturday mornings. I'm just looking to buy some nursery pots...

I appreciate all the suggestions for "free", or nearly so, pots. But what I'm after is a source to order/buy some pots. A source that, from someone's experience, has a quality product at a decent, fair price. I have no, that I know of, a greenhouse supply business in a reasonable driving...

The title of this message says it all. I'm in need of some "good" nursery pots to repot some JBP. Don't have a clue where the best place is for both quality and price. Have looked on Amazon, of all places, and what seems to be decent pots run around $1.50 apiece for 2 gallon pots and a bit...

"Weedie??" My first thought is "pot grower." ??

They look good. I used a Fuji Finepix S5000, I think it was, in my employment for evidentiary pictures. I could "steady" say an arm with one hand and "one handed" take pictures with my S5000 with the other hand and the pictures were sharp enough you could see the fine hairs on an arm. I say...

I don't know enough about this "hobby", and I hesitate to trivialize it by calling it a hobby, to offer any kind of critical comments. So, let me put it this way. I like this. I like the way it looks. I'd certainly be proud of it were it mine.

I stand corrected Mr. Wood and Mr. Frary!! "Waiting" it is!!

In sitting here reading over these posts, I can see myself in a lot of the less desirable traits. One, and there are many more, that come to mind quickly about myself is patience or, more specifically, the lack thereof. And that certainly has got to be one of the worst traits to have with...

You're very probably right. It's one of those things where I may need to mix some more soil and wanted to try something other than the oil dri/sand/Baccto Potting Soil mix I've been using. Couldn't find pumice, but could this. So, being tired of "reading" about it, decided to buy some to give...

My grandmother used to feed her laying chickens crushed oyster shell. Said it strengthened the egg shells. Calcium I'm thinking?

I'm going to give Perma-Till a try this summer. It's not that easy to find here, which is strange since it's produced about 30 minutes from me, but I haven't been able to find anyone with pumice near me. I paid $14.40 for a 40lb bag today. Don't know if that's good or bad. I paid it and that...

You're very probably as right as rain! That will be a "new" process for me. I've got wire in a few sizes, etc., but I'm hesitant to jump into it. I'm reading and study trying to get my nerve up to jump into it. I hate to "screw up" and so am hesitant. I'll try to get my feet wet this next...

Seems like having a new puppy is a lot like having a new baby in the house. Everybody has an "idea" of how to do it. lol Truth of the matter, there's very probably a lot of truth in all the ideas I've seen so far. Whatever you do, treat the pup with kindness and dedication. If they're a...

He's probably lonesome! Especially if he was in a kennel with littermates. We got the fellow you see in my profile pic here about 10 years ago and had the same idea you had of putting him in a kennel at night. He whined and cried. Long and short of it all, we took him out and made him a...
