My Aquarium

Posted on March 30, 2011 |

The administer of unreliable from artificial plants to living plants. I’m leaving fake plants in the tank until I see if the real ones will live. If they do, then I will add more and take out all of the fake ones. I’m worried though since many of the real ones didn’t even have any roots when I got them! I place fertilizer tablets in the tank so hopefully that will encourage root growth. The fish seem to like swimming around the real plants. Unfortunately, the plant tubes said the plants are snail free…So much for getting free snails. :(

How to choose the right Citrus Tree

Posted on March 26, 2011 |

Sign up for a newsletter and get a free herb. www.mcshanesnursery.com Hey Steve McShane with another note on Citrus and you have a couple of options out there. A dwarf citrus tree is the way to go and I want to show you one aptly here. This is a Dwarf Citrus. On the rise to about 8 to 10 feet in height, it’s going to be reachable and it’s going to be ready to produce for you in about a year, maybe even less. Most of these citrus can go inside containers, be sure to place gravel in the bottom, lots of compost, organic fertilizer, what have you. Now one of the choices you’ll have in a nursery are a Dwarf Citrus versus a Standard Citrus. So the one maybe 6 to 8, maybe 10 feet versus one like this: on the rise in excess of 20 feet, maybe even 25 [feet]. Too huge for most back yard gardens, go with the Dwarf Citrus. Most citrus: add fertilizer, add compost on an once a year basis, it’ll place out for you really well. Every tree in the world is going to be excellent for you if it’s got a implant. This implant aptly here has a root stock that stays resistant to bugs, desease, any kind of terrible things in the soil. And what you have here is something for size, something for go. So keep in mind a grafted fruit tree is a excellent way to go and in most cases, I’d go with the dwarf. So just a quick note on Citrus.
