What do you do with the pac, do you put it on the soil "as is"? What happens if it doesn't fit ? Are there instructions on the web anywhere? Thanks

i am not sure - I bought them but have not used them yet - it looked like you make a slit in them with a knife and lay it on dirt- for maybe a flower box put it between wall and flowers in the window box on the dirt

You cut slit in the PAC , open the slit and lay it on the soil. For smaller pots I placed it in vertically instead of horizontally, I used to water 12 plants and Trees for 30+ days! Not one died or dried out. For big Trees I used 2.

I dont know if there are instructions on the web. In my smaller pots, I cut the pac into half and slit the plastic lengthwise and put it in. I keep the plastic on the pack but expose some of the gel to the soil. I rarely expose the entire gel pac to the soil. I do if the plant is really delicate. All the best.

You slit the pack open and be sure that some of the contents (gel) touches the soil so it can be released into the soil. I guess if it doesn't fit, you can squeeze some of it directly onto the soil.

I did try to bend and press the pack into the pots. You can put the gel on the soil, but it didn't work as well as leaving it in the package.

I tried to do the same thing. Even though it is a semicircle like my other one, they were slightly different sizes. I able to make it fit but had to use a lot of pressure. You might want to try a local place so you can quickly return and try another if need be.

If you don't like this one I found this on EBAY not to sure if it works or not BUT it might be something people might like to get around GMO http://www.ebay.com/itm/Smart-Garden-Aquaponics-System-Hydroponic-Agricultural-Aquaculture-/111121833855?pt=US_Hydroponics&hash=item19df609f7f... Or just buy a used one and use what ever type of seeds and fertilizers you want...

I saved it, I'm adding a little soil and some fertilizer to it and using it again. I originally used miracle grow soil(it was on sale) and potting soil with a little regular soil mixed in. We'll see how it goes this year. bought 2 more - now have 5 of them. Put them up on plywood on saw horses - so they are higher up - lots of rabbits.

The holes are pin sized. The end to attatch the hose is very short. You could probably bury it, but no more than 3 inches down. Get an extender or longer attachment for the hose part. Otherwise you wont be able to attach it. Also, the blue regulation piece falls out easy so be wary of this. You wont need the extender change out if you plan on burying the hose. I have done this in my other garden and it works great. Hope this helps out.

I had landscapers put mine together and fill with topsoil because I have disabilities. They said they didn't recommend it on cement unless you stapled very heavy weight plastic to the inside to prevent soil loss and you'd have to make sure you got plastic that wouldn't have chemicals in it that could leech into your plants. I put mine in the yard, on the grass, and had good luck with them and I have 6 beds. Make sure you get good quality top soil -- I had a yard of it delivered from a local supplier and it was great, black dirt with no stones or stems in it. My landscaper said it was about the best dirt he'd seen and it was under $75 delivered. I hope this helps you decide how you will proceed.

I bought 6 mil white plactic ? Poly . Got mine from Mega Greenhouse, 24 x55 ft. Placed it over the green that was on there, as it had just deterriated away. Have had it for 2 years now and still good. Had extra and used it on a smaller 6x8 greenhouse with same material as the larger one. Lasted a little longer , but same fate. Wll check out the Deltacanopy.com that was posted here to see what they have to offer.

Spread it by hand..the seeds are really tiny. Did not use lime or compost. I spread it in one spot in early fall and it is up and thick and beautiful. I have 4 large dogs so I use it to fill in areas where the grass has been destroyed. Hope this helps.

I was told by word of mouth that you just dip it into the plant soil when testing then remove it immediately once you get a moisture reading. So sorry that the tip disintegrated :(

I have found the following to be helpful. If you are comfortable with the API products you will also want to order API co2 booster. Every four months I also insert into the soil API plant food. I used these two products for the past year with my planted tanks. I currently have three planted tanks. All are flourishing and doing great.

You need to mix good compost (60%) with sand (40%) if your local soil is not soft. After plating it, you need to first is to hardly press the soil around the roots so it will ensure the soil and the roots have good contacts and soak the soil with water immediately. The water should soak down fast. Water it lightly daily. Provide fertilizer as it grows and gives flowers. You will love it.

we watched a video,lol. My husband folds it in half (longways) and starts by grabbing the bottom and cramming it into the storage bag...just keep cramming! don't try to be neat, stuff it and stuff it. It all fits in ! We have done it several times, don't be gently :) good luck !

I'm not understanding exactly what your question is but to clarify, I did not want mine just sitting on top the ground without being installed. Had a neighbor help me and we went ahead and permanently installed in concrete. VERY HAPPY with this product and have received many compliments from neighbors. any other questions please ask. And YOUR WELCOME! :)

I was going to get one of these, then I came across an unused 24" plastic planter in the garage. Flip it upside down and it works fine as a pooper stooper thingy. Easier to stow out of the way too, when not in use.Like this, but they're under $10 at Walmart: Novelty 16242 Countryside Planter, White, 24-Inch Length (Discontinued by Manufacturer)

Return it. It is a fake product not alpaca. You can test it at home and verify that. Take a look at the video review here:http://www.amazon.com/review/R5OCNQHZ3ML6OIf you bought this fake item return it to Amazon. Do not contact the seller as he is not willing to take any responsibility. However Amazon will most likely take it back if you contact their customer service.

I ordered a bag of vermiculite for planting after "harvest" to bypass the cleaning of the used vermiculite. It was only a few extra bucks for it. Check your local hydroponics store or garden center. They should have what you need and it may cost less as there's no "middle man" or shipping expenses.
