Q:What is a nursery tray?

A nursery tray is a shallow container used for raising and propagating plants, typically made of plastic or other durable materials. It provides a suitable environment for seeds or young seedlings, with multiple compartments or cells to separate and support individual plants as they grow.

Q:How are plastic feeders and drinkers used in agriculture?

Plastic feeders and drinkers are commonly used in agriculture to provide a convenient and hygienic solution for feeding and watering livestock. They are designed to be durable, lightweight, and easy to clean, making them ideal for use in various farming settings. Plastic feeders are used to hold and dispense animal feed, ensuring that the livestock has access to a steady and controlled supply of food. Similarly, plastic drinkers are used to supply water to the animals, ensuring they stay hydrated throughout the day. These plastic devices are practical, cost-effective, and widely used as essential equipment in modern agricultural practices.

Q:How do agricultural plastic products help with nutrient retention in soil?

Agricultural plastic products help with nutrient retention in soil by creating a barrier that prevents the leaching of nutrients. These products, such as plastic mulch and drip irrigation systems, help to maintain moisture levels in the soil and reduce weed growth, allowing plants to efficiently absorb nutrients and preventing them from being washed away by rain or irrigation water.

Q:How do agricultural plastic products help with nutrient delivery?

Agricultural plastic products help with nutrient delivery by providing a controlled environment for the plants, allowing for precise application of fertilizers and other nutrients. These products, such as plastic mulches, drip irrigation systems, and nutrient film techniques, help retain moisture, reduce weed growth, and prevent nutrient leaching, resulting in more efficient nutrient uptake by plants.

Q:Can ground cover be used to create a fragrant walkway?

Yes, ground cover can absolutely be used to create a fragrant walkway. Many varieties of ground cover, such as creeping thyme, sweet woodruff, and creeping phlox, are known for their pleasant fragrances. Planting these aromatic ground covers along a walkway can create a delightful sensory experience for those walking through.

Q:What are some ground cover options for a Japanese-style courtyard?

Some ground cover options for a Japanese-style courtyard include moss, gravel, pebbles, and low-growing plants like mondo grass, ferns, or creeping thyme.

Q:Does anyone know if termites would bore through plastic? My window has a bunch of holes in it that look like termite tracks, but it is on the plastic part of the window. Any ideas??

Termites often chew through softer plastics. They play havoc with buried cables and sometimes hole water pipes causing service interruptions and major damage. A window is something else. Mostly they'll chew plastics that are buried or hidden away. Sometimes they'll eat through plastics that are up against wood their partying in at the time but they don't often wander out into the open and start such a major chewing job. My guess is that it is something else. Probably best to get a pest inspector around, there are likely to be other, really subtle, clues that will help tell the story.

Q:i dont know what plastic is made of and will we ever run out.

Plastics are made out of water-resistant polymers. Most of them are made of petroleum derivatives, and some are made out of plant by-products. It's not that we will eventually run out of oil, it's that oil will be too expensive to obtain and therefore petroleum-derived plastics will cease to be cheap. Many of the plant-derived ones don't work as well for certain applications (bottles of liquid, industrial applications), but they will be improved as time goes on and may eventually be suitable for these purposes. The biggest issue is that plastics are not particularly recyclable. Some of them are, but many of them aren't. And since plastics tend to absorb some of the stuff they're in contact with (cola, chemicals, whatever), manufacturers are often reluctant to use recycled plastic for most applications and they can't be used for food storage. Recycling won't be able to solve the problem of petroleum getting prohibitively expensive over the next decades. Of course, we may always discover some other really good cheap source of oil and not have to worry about this for another seventy years.

Q:my cat constantly 'eats' plastic bags. why and how to stop this?

why? : you leave them out. how?: put them away.

Q:How do agricultural plastic products assist in water quality management?

Agricultural plastic products assist in water quality management by preventing soil erosion and nutrient runoff, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and enabling efficient water use through irrigation systems.
