Watering system for plants while I'm on vacation?
I'm going to be out of town for six weeks this summer, and I've been putting a lot of work into a potted garden lately. Most of the plants I have need water every day, and I was wondering if anybody knew of a way to build an automated watering system.
If it would matter, I have about six pots that are the size of drinking cups, four pots that are about eight inches across, and then two that are somewhere in between. I also have a coffee can that I'm using as a pot and a large glass aquarium.
I don't have any money to spend on this, but I am fairly handy with tools. I'd have access to wood, hoses, nails, duct tape, buckets, and stuff like that. But I can't go out and buy a bunch more stuff.
If anybody has any ideas that'd be awesome! I've put a lot of work into the plants and I'd hate to see them die! Thanks!
3 AnswersGarden & Landscape1 decade agoCamp Counselor Nickname?
I'm going to be working a camp for special needs girls this summer for a month.
I need a camp nickname, like Blaze or Song, but not necessarily one of those two.
Does anybody have any suggestions? I'd like to to be short and easy to say.
I'm a teenage girl, I'm into music and band, I'm from the country, I'm tall, and I like international things.
Ideas?
Thanks!
1 AnswerSpecial Education1 decade agoWILL GIVE BEST ANSWER! I'm trying to repair the kernel32.dll file but it's not working. HELP?
I have a desktop computer --- was operating on windows xp home edition.
it started to continually reboot when i turned it on, (i'd turn it on, it'd start to turn on, and after about five seconds would restart itself.) and all the sites i found said to repair the kernel32.dll file with the followinbg steps.
1. Start recovery console as described above
2. Insert the WinXP CD
3. At the command prompt, type CD system32, press ENTER
4. Type ren kernel32.dll kernel32.old, press ENTER
5. Type map, press ENTER
6. Go to the drive that contains your CD
7. Type expand drive\i386\kernel32.dl_, press ENTER; Kernel32.dll should be listed as 1 file expanded
8. Type exit, the computer restarts
9. Remove the WinXP CD
when i try step four, my computer says that "the system cannot find the file or directory specified."
steps five and six work when i skip four, but then step seven doesn't work
it just says the same error message as above
any help would be greatly appreicated.
if you know other methods beyond this to get my computer working properly again, that'd be awesome too. although i do have a bunch of files still on there, and i dont have the money to get the hardware to slave them to another computer. if you know a method to fix the computer that will delete my files, pelase tell me that it will delete my files so i can try it as a last resort. i have a lot of fiels i need.
I WILL CHOOSE A BEST ANSWER AS THE FIRST SOLUTION I TRY THAT WORKS!
