[miniaturerockgardens] Sandbeds?

From: Diana Pederson <plant@toast.net>

Hi:

I've just been told by my doctor that I now have
rheumatoid arthritis.  That is why I have been loosing
my grip in my hads and my last two fingers aren't
working like they should.  This is added to
fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel.  I am having to limit
my work week to 25 hours or less.  More is impossible. 
Very discouraging to me but gives me more time to
develop a writing career.

By the way, if any of you would like to see a picture
of me, please check out page 94 of April 26  Business
Week and you will find my smiling face  while I hold up
a pot of sempervivums!

For me, sad to say, troughs are simply out of the
question now.  Somewhere I read about using sandbeds to
sink just pots of alpines--something they called "buns"
in.  Would someone help me figure out where I might
have seen this information?  I would like to know what
types of plants might be content to grow permanently in
just a pot sunk into a sandbed.  It may have been a
book for the local university library.  I just can't
put my finger on it.

Hope I am using the right term here.  If not, some of
you oldtimers, please correct me and tell me what I
should be asking about!

By the way, the Jesus virus has turned out to be a
hoax.  Thanks to members from various lists, I now have
several websites to check out these hoaxes at.  After
watching a 16 year old boy cry last year because he
opened some attachment from someone he barely new and
helplessly watched his harddrive get reformatted, I
can't take chances.  Having to deal with the happy.exe
trojan program which resulted in my having to reinstall
the windows 98 upgrade on my own has made me really
nervous.

I am going to implement a rule on all my email groups
that no attachments are allowed in any form.  Does
anyone know if pictures as attachments could really
cause problems?  I think it would be nice to be able to
send pictures if it can be done safely.
