You think like I do. Good practice...and it definitely works.Also of note: I pre-drill every hole to reduce cracking.
Snap! didn't take you for a gamer Bnut.. or you just love the clickys have mine on flat red. The kids love the ripple effects though..
Those are very nice.
Hey so I dont know much about wood working, and I don't own a drill, but I intend to make my first grow box this weekend. Is cracking a major problem with good ole hammer and nails? I assumed everyone used screws for convenience.Also of note: I pre-drill every hole to reduce cracking.
I use screws mainly because they hold better....and can more easily be removed if necessary. I like the control a screw gives me. I seem to be prone to hammering crooked. Nails work...just use the right size and thickness for the wood you’re using. I’ve read about dulling the point to avoid splitting and cracking. I’m not convinced that the sharp point is the problem. I believe the problem is that splitting happens when the nail is to thick for the wood or the nail is hammered just to close to the edge of the board. There’s only so much give in the cells of the wood. Nails can split wood....so can screws.Hey so I dont know much about wood working, and I don't own a drill, but I intend to make my first grow box this weekend.

Because a grow box is just that. A box used to regrow roots and grow out branches or the tree in some cases.I know in some cases folks don't have the room to plant in-ground, so they use grow-boxes...
I tried the search function, but didn't find what I was looking for.
So OK, I need to ask this, as "silly" as it may seem.
Just wondering why grow-boxes are used in some cases, as opposed to training pots?
Inquiring minds, and all that jazz.
You could. But then what do you do with an expensive large pot.Just another quick question...
Wouldn't we get the same result if we use a very large (and if need be, a large & shallow) pot though?
It came from a bog with highly acidic water. This causes nitrogen uptake to be inhibited, and the plant forms incomplete chlorophyll. In time the brown fades back to green. One interesting thing though is that the underside of each frond is a perfect green and all of the ones I collected at the time have the observations (except they have already changed to being all green). Like I said, this one has been slower to recover, but some areas put on a fair amount of new growth.It's hard to tell from the photo but this tree does not look like it is doing so well at all, sorry the photo-----
