Remember to engage mind, before letting the clutch out on your mouth (keyboard, whatever). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myriad In English, the term "myriad" is most commonly used to refer to a large number of an unspecified size. In this way "myriad" can be used as either a noun or an adjective. Thus both "there are myriad people outside" and "there is a myriad of people outside" are correct.

You could plant jasmine or honeysuckle under a window and grow it on a trellis. If the air outside is fairly still and warm, the air will be heavily perfumed and you'll have the option of closing your window if it gets to be too odiferous for you. -- Carrot cake counts as a serving of vegetables. |

Smell something good plant to attract their mistakes. Even in the room.
Maintain a good supply of indoor insecticide.

Insecticide is a subdivision of biocide. Guess what? You are a subdivision of "bio".

If you want indoor plants, try hyacinths from bulbs. It's a bit late this year but you could put it on the list for next year

Anybody out there use grow-lamps?

Hi everybody I'm new to these forums but I've been lurking for a while and they look really informative. I live in the Cairngorm Mountains, in Aberdeenshire, in Scotland, so the gardening conditions can be challenging, to say the least Because light levels here aren't great in the spring, I've always started my seedlings off under grow-lamps. Does anybody have any experience of the new LED grow-lamps, or do most people use the usual high-intensity bulbs or fluorescent lights? Any advice or opinions will be gratefully received! I have no experience with the new LED lamps. However, I use low 15W T-5 grow lights, just two feet long, cost $15 per light. I have eight lights. I have one 72 cell or two 48 cell trays for each light. Seems to work very well. However, I have not tried other higher powered lights. I also have southern facing windows. I have notice my plants grow better with the lamps over the windows alone. In spring I only get about 10 hours max of sunshine though the windows. Many days in the spring it is very cloudy restricting the sunshine even more. So far I see no need for the high powered lights. I just put the lights closer to the plants. I use a small chains with small hooks to manually raise and lower the lights. -- Enjoy Life... Nad R (Garden in zone 5a Michigan) |

Does anybody have any experience of the new LED grow-lamps, or do most people use the usual high-intensity bulbs or fluorescent lights? Any advice or opinions will be gratefully received! I use F32T8 fluorescent 2-lamp fixtures, just a few inches above my seedlings. They work great until the little plants outgrow them. I'll start my first peppers in about a month, and tomatoes about April 1. For big plants, I currently have a 400W HPS security floodlight in my basement on a timer for about 12 hours a day. The plants do OK, but it looks ugly and uses a lot of juice. I'm about to replace it with a 4-lamp F54T5HO fixture that I can hang from the ceiling and adjust the height. http://relightdepot.com/fixtures/high-bay-fixtures/t5ho-high-bay/4-lamp-t5ho-full-body-high-bay-enhanced-reflector.html We're approaching the season when red spider mites appear out of nowhere and kill half my big plants. Got my fingers crossed... -Bob |

Does anybody have any experience of the new LED grow-lamps, or do most people use the usual high-intensity bulbs or fluorescent lights? Any advice or opinions will be gratefully received! I have two 400W HID lamps, one high pressure sodium and one metal halide. In the fall I bring my non-hardy potted plants indoors and place the flowering plants under the hps (more red wavelength light) and the vegetative ones under the mh (bluer light). I also have a board with 4 twin 40W fluorescent fixtures bolted to it which I use for starting seedlings. High output fluorescents with horticultural tubes are excellent, but hid lamps are far easier to manipulate, take up less space and are, I believe, more electrically efficient. |
