They are just like the crispers in the refrigerator...closed to keep in moisture

and open up to let it aerate and dry a bit...this is very cool. I have that tray

system...I just use a slotted one inside one without slots...works well for me

even without the dome...LOVE the dome though

Of course Alan's comments are always a riot

WOW! Now aren't you glad I sent you there?

Those spinning things are vents. If it gets too hot inside your dome, you can

turn those to open the top and let heat out. The way you tell is if it get foggy

inside and moisture starts to form on the sides.

Tell us what you and the clerks talked about. How much was the coir bricks?

I loved this!  And your Allan is teriffic.  I am surprised that you didn't ask

someone what the things on the top were though.  Could they slowly let air in 

in case it got too humid?  Could they allow someone to hook up other watering

system to a tray on each side?  Next time slow down in here and get more

detail.  I wanted to see the hydroponic thing more.  Were several different

containers hooked together with the watering system?  I think that was when you

made a big expression of delight and surprise.  Great video though.   Now we

are all waiting for EW to tell us what the windmills were for.  Can't be to

wind it up.  I thought it did look sort of like a hamster cage but didn't have

a good seal on it.

That's great. The holes in the top of the dome allow for air to get in so it

doesn't get too warm. You can close them at night to keep the heat in if it gets

cool. I've been to that place. The owner is a very nice woman who taught me a

lot when I was in there about hydroponics and in particular about growing basil

plants-she's an expert, and how you have to " pinch " off the secondary leaves as

it grows. Very enthusiastic and helpful!! I love your husbands reaction to your

projects. He just takes it all in stride!!!

Hi, Initially she showed me a smaller dome and she said " do you want to grow

really tall Sunnies?? " and I said " yeah " and she brought that the BIG humidity

dome. But she was so busy on the phone I didn't get to ask as many questions as

I normally would. Today was not a good day to be teaching Melody.

They had various Coir items but no small brick. They had one humongus coir

square thing for $30.00. They had mats but they were taller than me so I wasn't

going to be lugging that big thing home. She really was so busy that she could

not answer my questions. Next time I go there I'll do better.

And they do not sell the Sure to Grow mat. I made sure to ask that question.

They advertise it on the website though.

Oh she did give me a mini lesson in some kind of round disc thing. You wet it,

it expands, you make a hole in the middle, you drop in a few seeds, it

germinates, it grows into a plant and after the first two weeks in April, you

plant them.

SEE??? I did learn something!!!

lol

Oh, I investigated the various insecticides. She said anything with the name

OMRI is good. She is getting in Orange Guard sometime soon. That's what I use

in my house.

Oh, right in front of her counter was all the bags of peat moss and vermiculite

and I said " do I need to buy this and mix it with my Coir " ? and she said 'No you

don't need it'.

At last, an HONEST salesperson. lol

And it had all kind of seed starter kits and in one aisle they had coir baskets

and coir cups and I have no idea where one would use a coir basket or a coir cup

but they had it.

Lots of stuff to still learn I gather.

So at least now I know what the spinning wheels were.

And EW, as soon as I walked in I announced that

" A friend in Calfornia sent me here!!! " " I'm a sprouter "

Then I asked if she sold organic sprouting seeds. I had to explain what I was

talking about but then she understood and said no.

Now THAT would have really been something.

lol

Don't worry, NEXT TIME!!!

The round disk is called Jiffy Pellet. Those are for transplanting out of doors.

They eliminate transplant shock.
