Chester B Posted January 9, 2019 Report Share Posted January 9, 2019 Show us what you have growing for eventual plantings. Here are mine: The empty aquarium works well with the High output T8 bulbs. I haven't set it up yet because I need to swap out the carpet for a more durable flooring. It's a 150 gallon that will house a Malawi predator tank as it was before. Last time it was running it housed Buccochromis rhodesii, Nimbochromis fuscotaeniatus, Dimidiochromis strigatus, Naveochromis chrysogaster, and Tyranochromis macrostoma. This is my original hobby the palm hobby came many decades later. All the palms will one day find a spot in my gardens if I can find room! They include: L. nitida BxJ (BxJ)xS T fortunei (about 150 of them) S. mexicana S. minor "McCurtain" S. uresana R. hystrix J. chilensis The second incubator is full of Ch. radicalis "DoomsDave" and more BxJ seeds which have been sporadically germinating over the last year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjohnson Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 @ParkerK Yes, I built these cone-trainer trays (detailed photo attached) which fit into the 3 raised planters I built for my wife last year. This year I stole them for palms and built her in ground planter beds. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PalmatierMeg Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Tjohnson, that is an awesome germinating setup. You should write it up for submission to a DIY magazine or figure out a way to market it.

NOT A TA Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 On 1/9/2019 at 5:40 PM, Chester B said: Show us what you have growing for eventual plantings. Most of the plants I grow will be used for what I call "Vigilante landscaping". Where various city, county, state, or the fed government drops the ball or absentee land owners ignore properties and there is a need for landscaping or landscape maintenance I just do it. Current project this winter I've almost finished is an entrance to a high school where nothing was planted when the school was built. Only some of the plants in pics will be used there. Most of the one's in the pics will probably go to next winters project which will probably be a local post office that's looking really bad. I grow low maintenance plants I can propagate or start from seed easily that have fairly good drought tolerance (for S FL) because once planted and watered until they've become established they may not get much care afterward. Here's a few pics of some of the plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOT A TA Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 Thought some might want to see the school entrance planting area mentioned in previous post. Pic shows about 1/3 of the planting area so as you can see it takes a lot of plants. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, the mix we plant in has composted chicken manure pellets in it and we also use either an osmocote or florikan slow release fertilizer .. which ever is handy and cost effective 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
