Headbanging Extends Past Music Listeners

For the last 3 days now we have had a little bird crashing into our office window. During the sunny parts of the day he will fly right into the window approximately every 5 to 10 minutes. We tried closing the blinds at various different lengths in hopes to reduce the reflection or maybe help him understand that it is glass and he won’t be able to fly through it. Nonetheless he continues to gently bump into the window causing a distraction to all the workers, and also possibly harm to himself.

Solution: This morning we searched for cat in google images and one of the first results was just perfect. We printed out the image and the taped it to the approximate location where the bird kept hitting the window.

It’s been four hours since we’ve seen the bird so it must have scared him away. Poor little fella must be off to search for a new group of victims to endure his headbanging.

Drip Irrigation For Container Gardening

dripworks — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 18:14:17 +0000

Not everyone has raised beds or large areas for gardening, so the most common alternative is container gardening. These gardens need more water than a conventional garden because the container can be heated from the sun causing the soil to dry out quicker. Also the container has less volume for soil meaning the root systems have less to draw water from. This is why installing an automated drip irrigation system in your container garden is so important. The Container Garden Add-On Kit and a Heart Of The Garden Kit are the perfect combination for watering these plants. A timer will insure consistent watering and can be set for twice a day during the dog days of summer.
