[miniaturerockgardens] Archives to be available

From: enabling@netzero.net

Greetings this Friday Afternoon:

I've just spent an exciting day at a Michigan Horticulture Therapy Conference.  Don't know if they will take me up on my offer, but I told the president I'd be willing to make a presentation on building troughs and planting them up as miniature rock gardens next year.  We'll see if she takes my offer as seriously as I meant it.

I wanted to suggest to you that you visit the "dollar stores" in your area and see what different types of plastic containers you can find that could be used for trough molds.  I happen to pick up a couple of ellipse shaped "bowls" that aren't more than 6" deep.  I intend to make 2 troughs in this shape which will be planted with hens and chicks and/or sedums.

Another note:  Because onelist com is a free service and we have never been told any limits on archives, I've asked Chris Lindsey of Mallorn.com to archive this list as a backup.

I hope this list becomes important enough that I could refer someone to the archives section for information on constructing trough and other containerized rock gardens.

Also, please take Louise's comments seriously about frequently greenhouses selling products made by the disabled seriously.  They often don't even have an advertising budget to use to get publicity out.  My local school system sometimes has plant sales for the horticulture program and from a center for the disabled.  Look around your area.  You may well find something suitable.

Also, if anyone sent me mail in the last 3 days, I've hard a rough time with a isp I was trying out and had to come back to netzero.net (a totally free isp by the way) for even half-way reliable service.  Does anyone have good experiences with any of the "free" email address sites.  I need to get one that can stay the same no matter what isp I happen to be using at the time.  Am getting tired of subscribing and resubscribing to over a 100 email lists and then losing out on conversations because my isp failed.

One of our sessions today was on adaptive gardening.  The man leading the group is a real recycler.  He turns wooden pallets into vertical wall gardens for the disabled!  Hmmmm.  Wonder if that would work for rock gardens too?
