The end of the world is near....... what Yacht will you build?

dskira, a "glass-house' to extend your growing season and the autopot system may help as it is not "in the soil" but a tendency to over-feed, over-water and also forget to water as well as insect attack - A small "starter pack" and gravity feed may work for you - the key is in the valve mechanism that feeds the water to individual groups of pots by filling the "saucer" with a predetermined depth and not adding more until the "saucer is empty and "dry"... With a large "saucer/water holding tray" set on a level "table" you may be able to service a dozen or so large pots with each "autopot-valve"... 2 or 3 long tables (24 to 36 pots of about 15inch diameter at the top) inside a glass or plastic roofed glasshouse that would withstand the rigours of winter in your area and extend your growing season should ensure adequate vegetables or trade some with neighbours / the local store for that which you do not grow...

That is hopefully going to fix my weakness in intense gardening, as I had no trouble in 100acre plus farming paddocks, so maybe you will also benefit by what works for me...

Read the entire website and download all the "pdf files", (you may need to download "Adobe reader" from apple/mac to read them...), as they make a good reference resource, Then think about things for a bit and buy some of the watering valves... Mount the "saucers" trays on permanent benches about 2 ft off the ground so picking tomatoes will be at shoulder height and lettuce etc at about waist height and out of reach of most insects and other attacking stuff in your "glass-house"... Vent during daytime to keep the humidity down a bit...

Good luck with your gardening... Check my global economics link as the situation is getting worse very quickly with regular updates on MASSIVE fraud and market manipulation becoming evident... The collapse will be quite soon...

Ha ha

I have a green thumb to beat the band
cant kill anything if I tried

ps
automated watering systems never work out to well
you have to "feel" the dirt and know the plants
its a gift I guess but one that can be learned if you have patience
helps if you have some one around to show you how but still

best of luck

Here Boston you beat me.
I look at my thumb and tell him: BE GREEN
Now I am reading the Masalai link, and you will see I will be on the ball for the best tomatoes in the world. One day.
But as you say Boston it take patience.
I should call my secret weapon: My son, is a cook and a gardener. He serve to the clients the veggies he grows, and make the bread too. In Spain
Come back son!

one thing you cant get around here is decent bread
not sure if its the altitude or what but bread here sucks

 

Hundreds of recipies, collect them then gradually work your way through them until you find one to your liking... It is like for your children. - - The tender loving care and nurturing that counts... Then try some of the earlier ones using the winning method...

Hay great link, however im no gardener??? Just wondering what has this got to do with the end of the world, 2012, hollywood and all that??? I thought this was a boat forum, where dreams can become reality?

Nice link tho

 

This is an interesting thread- Im sure ill get criticisim for this but one of the reasons i wanted to build my sub was because---"what if" of course It wasnt the ONLY reason..but the idea of 2012- did play a role in my plans for one.

i mean what if all those cultures that predict catastrophe are right??-To me it would be the only way to escape a cataclysm provided the seas werent boiling or there was a sea left etc...i wouldnt want to risk living on the surface after a giant solar flare or a polar shift, or a large meteor strike hit-- underwater may be the only safe place to be...my two cents.

 

a big nuclear powered ship with a crew of twenty, some good or no good friends, i don't care, a huge booze cellar, a casino and wheel chair accessible everywhere
then everything can go to hell

 

One big enough for the largest female crew I can get

 

And what you do with them :?:
Remember the earth is underwater, your chicks will be getting old like you will.
So what you will do then? play scrabble?
No my friend, good companionship is more important.
But I get to serious.

ok
companionship Im all for
might as well be the companionship of a hundred college cheerleaders shouldn't it ?

 

is it going to take 20 years for the world to end?

 

Not to sound like an ***, but it's true. Once you've been with the pinnacle of the female form enough times, the thrill wears off. Sad, but true. I'd bring along a good companions too. My wife is that pinnacle type, but she's also very cool. When she gets older, (she just turned 30), I know my best friend will be aboard with me as well.
