Miracle-Gro® Expand ‘n Gro™ Concentrated Planting Mix looks rich, but what matters most is performance and Miracle-Gro Expand ‘n Gro is, indeed, a very helpful product. I have used this planting mix mostly for outdoor flowers, planted in large ceramic pots. I start with a base of the planting mix, and then place the transplanted flower and root ball in the middle. Next, I pour more of this planting mix around the sides of the root ball and then top it off with a thin layer of potting mix across the top. The flowers are thus completely surrounded by this potting soil. The results are noticeable within a few weeks. Flowers grow strong and healthy, with more blooms and more vibrant colors. 

Plants and flowers often need an added boost for optimal growth and Miracle Miracle-Gro Expand ‘n Gro provides the needed dose of fertilizers and nutrition to get your plants or flowers off to a running start. Yes, this potting soil does cost more, but when eyes behold the bright flowers and lush, green plants produced by using Miracle-Gro Expand ‘n Gro, you won't mind the extra expenditure.  

Miracle-Gro Expand ‘n Gro is available Amazon and also at lawn and garden retailers in the Midwest, Northeast and Texas. Please visit expandngro.com for in-store availability information and free sample.Advertisement

why do you need iPod ?


I have an ipod touch, i have had one for the past (i think) 3 years. i'd say i really enjoy having one. first off, i feel good that I'm advancing with technology. With an ipod, mine is 8GB, i have 427 songs, 16 music videos/movies, 54 applications (mostly games) 200 photos and i can still add more. With an ipod touch you can view all the things i just mentioned, videos, music, pictures, games, you can also add your email. Yes if you have access to WiFi you have internet on there. Like i said at the beginning, you can put a lot of stuff in there which is why i enjoy using it. The only thing i don't like, is having to carry 2 devices with me all the time. I buy music because listening to the radio is good but if there is that one song you love, but they don't play it on the radio anymore or its a song from a movie that never was on the radio, i like to download music so i can have that song with me at all times. i like to buy CDs because the sound quality is better than downloaded music but thats another story! :P

-You can buy and iphone, where you can add music in your phone(just like your walkman phone), im not really sure how the iphones work, because i dont have one because they are expensive, i do want to get one.

Plenty of gadgets in the years to come!


Hey there! hows it going,

This topic is basic know how but just waited to say that in years to come i think that there would be more gadgets that we will see more innovations and i hope that like our new dslr's , I phone, tablets and laptops we can also find ways on have gadgets that help us prevent more pollution and care for the environment and the living things in it.

Pieces of Lego


If you look through a few child's toy chest you will learn pieces of Lego. The multi coloured bricks control maintained their popularity since their introduction finished 50 years since. Taking part in 2000 Lego won a prestigious prize 'Toy of the Century' by Fortune Magazine as well as by the British Toy Retailers Association. It beat Action male, Barbie and other all the rage toys.

The Lego group's origins began in 1932 what time Ole Kirk Christiansen happening making toys not at home of wood in support of children. It took until 1958 in support of the Lego brick as we know it these days to be conceived. The colourful bricks were down-to-earth and durable; therefore they were ideal in support of children to drama with. The plastic brick can be together concurrently to promote to a wall or other shapes which children can with no trouble build or take apart. Over the years the design has hardly distorted and today's bricks can still be interlocked with the bricks produced in 1958.

Why Lego has befall so all the rage is essentially due to the information with the purpose of Lego can be built into so many shapes with the purpose of the simply limit is the scope of a child's imagination. The bricks are so versatile with the purpose of Lego has calculated with the purpose of six, eight-stud bricks can be arranged in 915,103,763 altered ways.

Lego bricks these days are manufactured in the company's most important factory in Denmark. The bricks are produced so accurately with the purpose of the company claims in support of all million bricks made simply 18 are defective and unconcerned.

After the unusual bricks were produced Christiansen's son and successor to the Lego assembly, conceived Lego Duplo in the beforehand 1960's in support of less significant children. This made it easier in support of younger children to take the bricks as they were much superior.

The after that sizeable leap in creation in support of Lego was the Lego presume in 1974. The small yellow coloured statistics gave children a altered way of singing with Lego. They might without hesitation move and interrelate with the Lego toy. Since 1974 billions of Lego statistics control been manufactured ranging from Walt Disney Characters to Lego clocks.

Lego might seem outdated by donate day of the week high-tech toys, but it continues to increase by working with today's all the rage themes. For illustration in 2004 Lego launched Lego factory somewhere someone can design and build their own Lego sculpt and control it posted to their back home.

Lego plus together forces with Lucas Arts in support of a publishing deal in support of film games which has specified the company a contemporary let of life. For case in point Lego star Wars 2 sold 1.1 million units in its firstly week of make available.

However it has not all been a victory story. Taking part in the beforehand 2000's Lego was struggling to promote to an contact in the toy bazaar it after had. The problems happening in the late at night 1990's what time the company stopped focusing on design. There statistics didn't require much building skills or very little imagination. Also they were very like to other toy manufacturers.

Worse still Lego launched a children's tube chain, a sector they knew very little approaching. The bare was predictable and basically a sales pitch. It simply lasted two seasons on stump group and what time the bare ended sales statistics flabby.

With the company irritating to break into contemporary markets and design contemporary toys the cost of components went through the roof.

The real catch was the contemporary designs were not very all the rage with the kids. The Lego city line, after solitary of their the majority lucrative businesses ranks had dropped to merely 3 for each cent of the company's add up revenue.

Taking part in 2005 Lego had happening to persuade their result exact again. There designers were still deceitful but they had constraints. Products were simply manufactured like a strict voting procedure and designers were told to piece with non-creative rod. Managers would without hesitation conductor the designers on what examine data was discovering. Designers were plus told to piece with manufactures to advice on how the cost of design would affect profits.

What is an AGM Battery?


AGM batteries were basic designed in the 80s by a company called Concorde Aircraft Battery in order to restore the NI-Cad batteries that were being used by helicopters and fighter jets by the side of with the aim of schedule, while by the side of the same schedule only if remuneration such as cheery weather vibration resistance.

AGM at this point stands in place of 'absorption goblet mat' which gives us selected indication as to how they toil. Essentially the batteries are formed using goblet mats that maintain narrow fibers of goblet wicker into them which increases the surfaces area. This after that allows the AGM battery to toil in the same way that a flooded prime acid battery does, excluding the electrolytes are stored in the goblet mats. Extra emerge area channel more power.

The goblet fibers used resolve not absorb electrolytes and are not affected by acid. However for the reason that they 'hold' the electrolytes, this way they prevent it from spilling barred whilst the battery is tipped on. This after that channel that the batteries are safe in place of wear out in situations someplace the acid from a battery may well otherwise spill barred and injury electrical parts or even cause injury to the natural world. This makes them a very safe option in place of martial wear out, but besides a safe and high-quality to the natural world. For a organization using such AGM batteries in designs ensures with the aim of money won't be shattered on damaged parts and equipment.

There are other advantages of AGM batteries too. For illustration they are very versatile and will approach in some kind of form or size connotation that they can fit a variety of applications. At the same schedule they besides maintain very low amount of maintenance. Unlike selected batteries they don't need 'watering' as such and this makes them informative in place of situations someplace it would be challenging to contract last of stream or to retain them on the function. At the same schedule they besides allot inedible a very low amount of by-products connotation rebuff chat is produced and rebuff ventilation is basic. They can endure very low temperatures and won't crack or freeze by the side of the schedule (partly as they don't rely on liquid) and due to their sandwich construction they are as mentioned vibration unaffected by too. They besides resolve not contract too scorching compared to selected other forms of battery which ensures that they won't melt or injury crucial part. All this channel that they are ideally suited to being used in a quantity of tackle and mechanisms that would place them under a fate of stress and potentially cause injury to the device in other situations.

Today however the AGM battery is not used by the martial and as a substitute it is commercially to be had in place of wear out in a range of applications and situations. They are not highly smart, but they are highly applied and so unquestionably worth consideration.

When using AGM batteries it is of great consequence to circumvent overcharging. Overcharging the AGM battery can cause injury and this will shorten its lifespan and its effectiveness. This channel with the aim of ultra custody ought to be taken whilst using them - though this goes in place of some battery to a some area.
