Seriously, they just had some kind of job fair up in Houston because 5000 jobs have gone begging for over a year. But, if a job was all that was keeping me here (actually it's my bank) I'd be gone in a minute. Explain ok? |

They are essentially giant planters. :-) This concentrates the water usage considerably for me... Yes, we are. By raising, you can only lose water, with respect to the same setup, at a lower elevation. it is not only the increased surface, but the bits of debris creating gaps, the vole/mole tunnels, and anything that lets water out in between the cinder blocks or under them. And I add a generous amount of peat into my raised beds. The water retention is phenomenal. you could do that in sunken beds as well. The difference is that you would have to dig up soil and replace it with peat. There is nothing in raising the soil level that improves water retention. Water flows downhill. What about container gardens? I have never been able to raise a container. snork Very funny...... ;-D I was talking about big pots! lol But you knew that..... I've had good luck using 5 gallon pots for tomatoes with a water tray underneath. I did very little gardening this year due to the expense of the water. I need to re-do my greenhouse setup and move everything inside.... The summers here are just getting to be too hot and dry! South Central Texas. -- Peace! Om What town are you close to? We're over around Eagle Lake, East Bernard area. Between Buda and New Braunfels. :-) Well gollyyyyyyy, you've got the river to cool off in, all that cold beer to drink, you get to listen to Roger Creager every now and then. Me, all I've got is rice fields, water moccasins, alligators, killer bees, dust, dust and more dust and that danged POLKA MUSIC!!! -- J.C. |

Explain what, the job fair or why I'd be gone. why you'd be gone Because it is hotter than two hells, flatter than a steamrolled pancake, dustier than any desert, treeless as any shopping center parking lot and expensive as any big city in the nation now. Other than that, it's really a great place. And, I'm a born and raised Texan but the difference is that I've been around the world a couple of times and been able to see what the other places have to offer. -- J.C. |

G you get to listen to Roger Creager every now and then. Me, all I've got is rice fields, water moccasins, alligators, killer bees, dust, dust and more dust and that danged POLKA MUSIC!!! Heh. Between the German community in New Braunfels and the Hispanics in the neighborhood, I get to hear that stuff too. And the dance studio across the street keeps it's darned door open when the weather is nice and TAP DANCES! That drives me up the friggin' wall. sigh -- Peace!

About the only place I think that is better than Houston climatewise is anywhere north of Houston. G -- J.C. |
