Ed: Hi..I live just outside of austin..We recently moved here from Illinois.. I brought around 200 orchids with me.. I used to grow under lights and in a basement.. We put up an 8'6 x 12'7 Rion Green house.. I really like it, but I can tell you to buy the biggest one you can afford. They are never big enough.. It came with a 60% aluminet shade cloth, which I didn't feel was big enough.. didn't cover down on the sides.. so I ordered a 70% aluminet shade cloth and had it custom made to fit the way I wanted it.. The green house came with two roof vents.. I think it could use more. I am having a time keeping it cool. Run ocillating fans 24-7..and I ordered an evaporative cooler only to have it for half an hour and the motor burned up.. it was defective.. so , we ordered the largest one and are having some problems with that too.. they are sending another one as we speak..lol we made the base for the green house out of black top.. we had forms ready for concrete, but since we were having black top driveway put in, we decided to go with that.. I realize it will be hotter in the summer, but for the winter it should hold some heat.. all in all , I really love the g.h. If you would like to come and see it , you are welcome.. I live in cedar creek.. email addie...pfrederickson@austin.rr.com Happy blooming.. as always.. sandi

If you use the internal GardenWeb uploader which does one pic per post (not per thread, but per post) then if you don't have an external hosting site like Flickr or Photobucket, the pictures will always remain in the post. However, if you do post pictures from Flickr or Photobucket albums, should you ever DELETE those albums, the picture is removed from GardenWeb as well. The HTML code we use to upload from say Flickr to here is merely a marker to the actual location, and that's why we have blanks in some threads where once lovely images appeared. It is the one thing that keeps me from changing from Flickr, which is undergoing the reorganization and change of focus since Yahoo bought it. Likewise, I use Yahoo mail, and it is a real pain in the derriere what they are doing to my email! I get so tired of them tinkering with something that is NOT BROKEN. Plus, I am really horrified that websites keep trying to force me to sign in with Facebook or Twitter, when I try to stay far far away from those sites. It is "group think" and I do not intend to expose my life to such invasions of privacy. The latest Firefox upgrade did something to my "default" apps/programs to play music or sound, and I was very puzzled suddenly not to do slide shows and such. Perhaps it is the latest Firefox upgrade, Berndny, which you too ran afoul of. I fixed my problem by changing from Windows Media Player to the Quicktime Player built into Firefox. Having to think about the background operations of the system is really frustrating, when all I want to do is ignore the system and enjoy the material. Seamless is good, forget the rest.

The pictures are a good find shaul. Pictures of cutting the pumpkin for the refrig for the worms is so real. Gotta wonder if that is a duel purpose human worm refrig or a worm food dedicated refrige. The photo shows what may be the only existing picture of his WonderStick TM. Stands for TradeMarked. His tool of choice for working with the worms. The magic is that baby worms stick to it like magic for easy harvest and transfer with out hurting themn. Thus I use a cheap knock off copy... a kabob stick with the wooden handle broken off. To avoid eye danger I wear goggles. Chuckiebtoo also had Aliens that visited his outdoor compost bin... which he watered frequently with what nature provided. I am waiting to see my first Alien at my compost pile. I might break down and buy a few from the pet store or a cheaper brand of beer. lkittle: Aren't you a long time poster, too? I think I have been an avid follower and read tons of your posts here? or on some site. I just wanted to know what to put in the bucket with the worms besides leaves and ended up reading the huge archives of two boards. Funny stuff. Ended up reading more for the humor than the worms. I am editing this to get rid of an advertisement automatically put into my post by the site. I hope I killed it. The ads that take a word and make it clickable.

You can go back to the forum page and at the bottom there is a "search box". Put "compumom" in the box and click "entire site". This will bring up all the topics you've posted to. I don't know how to filter it any further. When I clicked this forum I didn't get any response except this thread. I hope this helps. Nancy
