Limited Area Garden
Box gardens allow anyone with a bit of space and creativity to start a small garden with lots of impact. Taking advantage of the maximum available space is what box gardening is all about. It is as easy as, building the box,adding soil, planting seeds and tending to your crop. Ideas to get you started in gardening.
Boxes for box gardens can be purchased at a local landscape supply store if you wish to stick to smallish window boxes. For the more adventurous gardener you can get everything you need from the local home supply store. What size the box will be is your first thing to do. A standard area is 2' by 2', this will make reaching areas within the box easy. 3 feet on a side is also doable, but the soil needed goes up exponentially, either way, make sure the box is about a foot deep.
Make the sides from pressure treated lumber or redwood. Redwood is very resistant to rot and doesn’t have chemical, but of course is more expensive. Cut your wood to the right length, use galvanized screws and screw the sides together. Galvanized screws will resist rust. Use good soil in your box and make sure the box is nearly level. If you need to do this on a patio, use some heavy plastic on the bottom and staple it into place.
With some type of a marker divide your new box into 4 sections. When you figure out what you want to grow the local landscape supply store can help you pick varieties that grow well together and will do well in your region. Smaller space means less weeding. Tomatoes thrive in boxes and sun.
If you have time for more then one boxes, consider a box just for herbs. Get wonderful flavor all season long even growing herbs in small areas. You can also freeze herbs for use through the winter, keeping alive the flavor of your garden all year long. You may find planting flowers that compliment each other in one box is just what you are looking for. You can choose colors that coordinate or select flowers that will bloom at different times of the summer providing you with color all season long. If you time things correctly you can put plants very near one another, because they won’t be blooming at the same time. Again, this is a good time to make use of that local landscaping supplier to ensure picking the right combination of plants.
For lots of summer fun, you will find box gardening delievers. The perfect way to use small spaces or an ideal way to encourage young children to come out into the garden, box gardens are versatile, relatively inexpensive and pretty.
NASA flies robotic lander prototype to new heights (Science Daily)
NASA successfully completed the final flight in a series of tests of a new
robotic lander prototype at the Redstone Test Center's propulsion test
facility on the U.S. Army Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, Ala. Data from this
test series will aid in the design and development of a new generation of
small, smart, versatile robotic landers capable of performing science and
exploration research on the surface of the moon or other airless bodies in the
solar system, such as asteroids or the planet Mercury.
