Q:i spent all spring and summer travelling this year so my garden is feeling rather neglected and lonely. there are some veggies i know can stand cold temps and still make it. i live in north central texas so freezing temps wont be an issue for a few weeks yet. is there any time to get something in the ground? like what?

Not really. It takes at least a month for radishes, which is about the fastest crop. Just start working the soil by adding organic compounds, and if needed vermiculite, etc.

Q:I'm mixing water and vermiculite for an incubation medium for gecko eggs. The ration is six parts vermiculite by weight and 4 parts water by weight. If the vermiculite is 25.1 grams what should the water be? Also can I see your equation you used for future reference?Thanks for your time

You left out some steps. You should mix the water, vermiculite and brown rice flour(ground brown rice) and place it in a jar and place the jar in boiling water or pressure cooker. Generally they are mixed together in the right ratio. One part brown rice flower, one part water and two parts vermiculite is the recommended ratio. Mix the water and vermiculite first. Then add brown rice flour. Place it half way full in a jar and cover it tightly with aluminum foil. Boil it for 20 minutes being careful that the water level is low enough that it doesn't get into the jars. Pressure cooking is better but not necessary. Let it cool down. Inject the spores. After a week or so it should start turning white. At some point you need to put it in a fruiting chamber. I would probably do that at about 2 weeks or when the mycelium had established itself. It needs to be exposed to light or mushrooms won't form. Mushrooms also generally need more ventilation at that point.

Q:I switched to FertiLome but now I‘m discovering gnats in it. Repotting my house plants and there seems to be no way to be rid of the bugs. What would you recommend?

Put together your own mix. 1/3 regular potting soil, 1/3 vermiculite and 1/3/ peat. Cheaper and works great.

Q:flowerpot grill: can i use clay to sub for sand as insulation?

I imagine any tpye of sand dirt or clay would work fine. was reading a bit on how to make that grill,,,and it says that u must light the coals in something else NOT the clay pot then transfer them into the pot.that seems really dangerous to try and move hot coals .

Q:What can I put in the pot with my container plants to keep them from drying out?

there water storage balls there put n the bottom when they pot the plant, nothing to worry about,

Q:i put a 4 inch deep container inside her terrarium with spider turf and vermiculite and mixed it with water, she started digging a hole, than she stopped and now she wants to get out of her terrarium. wht seems to be the problemps:im 100% sure that she‘s pregnant

Q:my leopard gecko laid eggs two days ago and i already candled them and one of them has a bulls eye thing and the other one is yellow but it has small veins at the bottom of it that kinda form a small circle and this egg is bigger than the one with the bulls eye and neither of them have dents in them or mold or anything they are puffy and white

If you only have one leopard gecko ( the one who laid the eggs) then they are not because a female by herself can't have fertile eggs. If you do have a mating pair then there is a chance the eggs are both fertile or one is fertile. Some eggs are duds even though there is a male involved. Do not touch them, one movement can kill the embryo inside. But if you want the eggs to survive; Take the eggs out of the cage, with out rotating them so other words take them out the way they were laid.Take a rubber maid container with moist peat most ( you can by at local pet store) and lay the eggs into it. Then put plastic rap on the top of the rubber maid container and poke small holes onto the top for air circulation. Keep it in a warm area or if you can in a incubator at an average temperature of 80-85. Spray the mixture when it begins to become dry. If you succeeded then, they will hatch. Just take a chancedon't throw them out unless they co-lapse.

Q:Vermiculite is not big

Xinjiang vermiculite applicationsXinjiang vermiculite is a layered structure containing magnesium aluminum silicate water secondary metamorphic minerals, ore like mica, usually made of black mica (gold) by hydrothermal alteration and weathering, because of the heat expansion was loss of deflection shape patterns similar to leech, called Xinjiang vermiculite. Silver white vermiculite with heat insulation, frost resistance, antibacterial, fire protection, water absorption, sound absorption and other excellent performance, bake at 800~1000 degrees Celsius for 0.5 to 1 minutes, the volume can be increased by 8~15 times, up to 30 times. After expanding the specific gravity of 50-200kg/m3, the color becomes silvery white, producing loose swelling vermiculite.Silvery white vermiculite is widely used in construction, metallurgy, chemical industry, light industry, machinery, electric power, petroleum, environmental protection and transportation departments, foreign main insulation, in construction, agriculture, gardening, and packing. Silver white vermiculite is widely used in industrial production.

Q:we have lived here 9 years before they started ,my husband has been sick since they started

garden dirt, and a variety of flowers. You can buy garden dirt at Lowes.

Q:i search some pictures for potting soil, why are some have pebbles?

They are probably nutrients and vermiculite and perlite as someone else said which is just added to help the flowers to be more healthy and to produce.
