EEEO ANY ORDER

EEEE

voter ballots you may be charged with insurrection.

All cut and dried for a big steal.

Just done a search on my idea of water retention. 

Thought of thousands of years ago.

Porous clay pot filled with water instead of a disposable soup bowl.

Do not do much with lottery these days. Play a pick 4 number now and then buying advance play.

Do not go to the store every day like I use to to make a daily play.

In a previous blog post I mentioned that I placed disposable soup bowls in my hanging baskets and planter boxes down below the plant. The planting mix in those containers dry up real quick.

The water reservoir appears to be working as the plants do not appear to be stressed like they have in the past. Still need to water them but not as frequently depending on the rain. Once a every week or two. 

Last week I got a couple flowers for two planter boxes that I have. The planter boxes are about 14 inches deep and about 16 inches square. I took out half of the planting mix and added compost at a 50/50 ratio. Figure the compost should have better water retention. Plus I put 2 disposable soup bowls down about 7 inches.

What has stayed the same in cost per item.

The price of a lottery ticket.

However the win has less purchasing power.

On the lowest end of the survival scale without clothing, shelter, fire and   weapons.

They do not want Trump to run again.

Would be harder to pull off another big steal

Played 862 and 682 on todays mid.

Stinking 869 came out.

I can not bend over like I use too. Trouble putting on my socks. I have been using my four footed cane and stretching my sock to hook on two of the cane feet. Then stick my toes in the sock and push the sock on while pulling on the cane.

I was looking  around yesterday for a regular sock installer tool. There are different varieties out there. Got to thinking (I do that sometimes) about the trash grabber as that has two points to connect each side of the sock.

So i purchased this tool and it works just fine. The two points of the grabber are wide enough to go on each side of my ankle. Also can use it to pick up stuff I drop. I have been needing to kneel down on the floor to pick up stuff. Got to be a pain to kneel down and get up.

Have not done much the last couple years with the containers on the back deck in the middle of the lawn

This year I took four containers so far and placed a water reservoir bowl down far enough and then planted a perennial  in each container. I also mixed in water saving crystals in the potting mix. 

In my 3 x 4 foot elevated container I sprinkled water saver crystal in it and then planted radishes in it. They are up already.

I planted some flowers in two hanging baskets just recently. In the past the potting mix dried out real quick even with water saver crystals in it.

This time I dumped the potting mix in a container and redone the method of putting the potting mix back in. The baskets are about 12 inches in size. I put about   1/2 inch mix in the bottom of the basket and then placed a disposable soup bowl in the bottom. Refilled the container with potting mix while putting the flower plant in.

With the potting mix being in the bowl it should hold about 1/2 cup of water or there about for the plant to draw from when needed. 

Watering very frequently in the past was a pain to keep up with.

Planted two violas, one blue and the other yellow.

See how this idea works out.
