Break out the nachos... you just invented Spaghetti Dip!

  Thanks. I can see roots growing into a top dressing if left too long, but I can see how root pruning and replacing just this top portion of the container would be far easier than going all Bonsai Extreme, which can be lethal to a plant. This has been helpful.

Moving on. I can grow year round in my zone (Zone 10). I'm also forced to grow only in containers. Potting up obviously gives the roots more nutrient rich soil to grow into, but at some point the plants are potted in their final containers. Eventually, all the nutrients in that container will be...

  I'm interested to see if this can be done, as a 1020 tray doesn't have a lot of depth, but I think I've seen you raft things in another thread, so you probably know better than I.   I was thinking of Kratky lettuce, etc. using Sterilite 28-quart storage boxes painted opaque. Those should be...

  I did the same thing with that thread last night. I was going to comment, but figured it would be better to let that thread be buried by inactivity.   This is the proper way to get a topic pinned (but it might need editing for that). If it trends long enough with good, well thought-out...

  When (if) these Gardenias have set enough roots to my liking for transplant, I'll be gluing the PVC pipes for permanence, and taking some proper pictures to share of the insides. I figured it would be better to know this thing worked properly before I did all that. I'm also a little concerned...

  If you grow roots out of anything [edit: vegetative... not a seed] to get a new plant, I guess that's considered cloning. I've done a decent amount of cloning the super-easy plants, but I'm no expert on the subject. I've grown a new plant from a Basil leaf by accident once. I'd call that a...

  That would be ideal. These collars are slightly smaller than the 2" holes (or exactly 2"... they fall through), so the net cups were my fix since they taper inward and are relatively cheap.

  If I'm ever cloning peppers with the intention to keep them in a DWC, I might be using your method. I've cut the bottom out of all these 2" net cups (up to the bottom of the first slits) in the hope that I can pull clones for transplant without damaging roots too badly. This is kind of an...

  Y'all got me jealous with your cheater tanks. ;)

What are y'all cloning besides peppers?     I know there are a number of techniques for cloning, and I know there are plenty of "other" plants that can be cloned. I don't know about you, but I'd love to see them, and I didn't see a dedicated thread to cloning "other" plants.   So... if you're...

I don't have any experience with terrestrials, but I think those two should have their "bulbs" ~2-3" under... if you are moving them anyway.   Grip a bunch of the growing medium around it and move it all together. Don't pull it out clean and replant it in something new. Orchids only grow when a...

  Have you figured out how to map your rides yet, Sic? You can try Endomondo on your phone... unless you are still rolling old-school with a dumb phone.   Good morning!

  Then that Indian chick who showed up at my door this morning insisting that Bear was in town could have been right. Fresh scat means he was there 48 hours ago, at most.   Bear, that guy.

I got a postcard from Bear not too long ago sayin' something about a family member who was framed... something about buried and woods... a lot of it was redacted.   I think the CIA has coerced him into working for them.

  Last I heard, that guy was in Russia.   Don't ask...

That's some pretty wild stuff if it's natural stone. Onyx?   Sucks about the few plant losses, but that just lets you focus more attention on the living, and those look great.
