Gravel Bog Filtration

 

Here is how we filter water gardens and hobbyist fish ponds.  This PDF will give you some basic knowledge, but the concepts can be applied in a wide range of systems.

I graduated from LSU in 2005 and took and passed the LA section about a year and a half ago, after being away from louisiana for 3 years, and without studying or refreshing myself on any plants. The written portion was mainly still just about plants and their uses. Nothing really on statues, laws or professional practice even. The outside identification portion was done walking around campus for an hour or so, just like the plant quizzes we took in school. I have heard of previous exams doing the identification portion off-campus at the State Agriculture Building.

You get the correct plant ID answers at the end of the walk, so I figured I probably only got about 70% correct walking around. As far as material to study from….I didn’t have any. I just showed up and took it with absolutely no preparation and passed it. It’s free, so thats a plus.

I don’t know how “highly effective” it is yet, but the social networking trend seems to be one avenue that a lot of people are turning to. Facebook in particular. It basically can serve as your website for your business, but it has the viral capacity built into it that can cause a snowball effect in terms of page views/interactions. I made a facebook page for my company, and within just a few weeks, we had several hundred “fans” or the equivalent of a “follower” on Twitter. I’m not sure yet what direct impact on business and sales that the page has had, but it certainly hasn’t hurt anything.

“dominant central leader”…………apply that one as you see fit

“co-dominant central leaders”…………….an oligarchy perhaps?

“rootbound”………..could be a good name for a band

“vigor”…………from a specification that required trees to be Florida #1, vigorous, healthy and free of any pests or diseases………a tree was failed once because “the tree lacks vigor”

and last but not least….

“narrow crotch angle”………….of course I’m referring to a Bradford Pear Tree.
