I'm thinking of doing this next year. The soil would be about 4 or 5 inches deep.If I put a layer of soil over a garden path could I grow annuals in it?
Yes you can. Most plastic window troughs are less than 5'; so you should be Ok. If you use soil then it would be advisable to either incorporate some grow bags or better still some composted bark. This helps to improve moisture retention. Mix it in well with the soil and you should have a marvelous garden. But there is no need to wait until next year. Plant some Winter Pansies, Primrose and bulbs and brighten up your winter.
If you would like something a little more permanent then give Alpines a go. Start off with a few in between your annuals and if successful fill up the bed.
Hope this has helped you. Take some photos and post them in Answers next year.If I put a layer of soil over a garden path could I grow annuals in it?
By garden path, are you talking concrete? Yes, I believe you could grow annuals there, so song as you keep it well watered. I drove by last week especially to look at a cedar tree that my dad planted in 1950. My mother had contracted the job at a new school, and the contract called for the tree to be planted there. He dug down about a foot and found an old concrete sidewalk. So he planted the tree on top of it. The tree is huge and beautiful. I have a garden path made up of separate stones laid over black weed cloth. I fight not only weeds but good stuff growing between the stones, that don't want to grow in the flower beds. Gravel? Take a look at my driveway. Mulch and wood chips don't seem to mean a thing. If you build it, they will come.
My part of the world is semi-desert, with red clay underneath.
It would be less work but in the long run it may be better if you took up the path or at least break it up a bit, then you could plant what you like. Another thing, while you're at it you could make it more than 5'; deep, not so far to bend when weeding. Stone is expensive but old sleepers or tanalised wooden rail would look good with alpines dangling over the sides.
Yes you can grow any plant in soil but did you want to completely cover the garden path or in the cracks between.?
I don't see why you wouldn't be able to. As long as you water and fertilise regularly.
Do you intend this to be a permanent feature? If so and you do not want to break up the path then would it be possible to create a raised bed? This can be done very easily and inexpensively by using scaffolding boards for the edging.
Otherwise assuming that the path area has good drainage then annuals will do very well in a soil depth of 4 to 5 inches as they do not have extensive root systems.
You could even grow a mixed leaf salad crop. Just think how much you pay for a bag of salad leaves in the supermarket!
The shallow soil and possible lack of drainage could limit the type of plants to be grown Need to be shallow rooted. Would be better if you could break the path up,

What is the best material to use on the top layer of a snowboard box?
Im building a snowboard box 10' long x 14'; wide x 1' high. and i have the frame built but still need to buy the top layer. What is the best material to use? and Where is the best place to get it?
any suggestions are appreciated.What is the best material to use on the top layer of a snowboard box?
I use synthetic ice. It's a more expensive material but it works great. Just look it up on google and dig around for good prices on it, I don't think it's available at stores.What is the best material to use on the top layer of a snowboard box?
HDPE ( High Density Polyethylene) This is what they use at resorts. Your board won't stick. I haven't found a place that isn't online though. But what you'll want to do is trim the edges with a thin steel strip, so your board won't catch.
but you can order them through these sites, I thought they were pretty decent.

When you make brownies how do you get the flaky layer on top?
when ever other people make brownies their is this flaky layer but when i make them the top is like the part on the inside and not the layer....how do you get the layer on it?When you make brownies how do you get the flaky layer on top?
I love that flaky layer too! You have to bake the brownies for about 15-20 minutes longer than you normally would.When you make brownies how do you get the flaky layer on top?
Food 'science' is what works here. Please try whipping up your eggs and sugar before adding your other ingredients. IF you bake your brownies 15-20 minutes longer then you are supposed to all you will have is a hockey-puck, over cooked, and burnt chocolate tasting deformity. Yuk. Report Abuse
If you are making them from scratch beating the eggs with sugar until VERY fluffy (before adding the butter, chocolate, and flour) will help give you a nice sugary and almost crisp top to your brownies.
To get the flaky layer on top, which I adore, you have to back the brownies in the oven for about 20 minutes. After 20 minutes, you can take it out and look at it. If the flakes are on top, then eat away. If the flakes aren't on top then the ingredients, process, or what ever was not completed properly.
I don't know if you are baking from scratch, or a mix, but when I bake mine from scratch, I bake them for about 30 to 40 minutes. This always produces a flaky layer.
1.Sprinkle a pinch of magic fairy dust on the brownies
2.Crunch up some hobbit bread, mix it with mystic stream water
3.Say Gondour's prayer on the hobbit bread
4.Throw the hobbit bread away
5.Dust off the magic fairy dust, eat the dust
6. Enjoy the flaky layer

What happens to the planet when the hole in ozone layer is as big as the earth?
Will there be any form of survival for humans and living things on the planet earth? Can gaseous emissions be stopped?What happens to the planet when the hole in ozone layer is as big as the earth?
the ozone layer prevents harmful UVc and lower wavelengths of UVb radiation from reaching the Earth. If these radiation wavelengths reach the Earth, it will decompose DNA as it is sensitive to reactions at those particular energies. So, our skins would become highly melanomic as would the exposed tissues of all life on Earth. Nothing would survive, except perhaps deep underwater/underground bacteria or other life.What happens to the planet when the hole in ozone layer is as big as the earth?
unless you are wearing 1 milloin spf sunblock, in a nutshell, dead. Report Abuse
we will all die !!!!!!!!
We're all going to be fried!
This so called hole is the result of the earths magnetic field it moves the ionised O3 ozone. It has always been the case and will not totally disappear.the ozone is being made constantly by the worlds oceans.
I guess we all burn up. Depends on how long a timescale it takes for this to happen. I expect scientists are busily working on this and will come up with an answer in time.
isnt gonna happen sister, by the time it gets so big, as the uv rays burn us all to a crisp, n were all dead n gone, the earth will heal herself, and start all over again, with hopefully a more inteligent specie than MAN!!
The world will become a great big frying pan ~ and us the little sausages
Some very bad things will happen and things won't be alright. But it will be okay.
Bye, V. F Vague xx
We will have to wear protective clothing, but only god knows if we will survive such a disaster, what will happen to earth is best not to think about.
We all fry.
I'm still banking on Superman!
the ozone is the earths protective shield from the deadly rays of the sun such as uv as u know , without the shield the earth and all of its inhabitants will cease to exist...
the ones with the most money make the rules and if they do what is good/right for the planet and people it will lessen their profits, they dont care about nothing but themselves and their money, but ask them this, where will their money be of any use without a planet or any people, their nothing but a bunch of greedy bastards. money rules the world not compassion and ethics. mankind will be its own demise, bet on it.
an even longer hose pipe ban
We wont live to notice. We would all bake like a peach in the microwave wayyyy before the ozone depleted that far.
On the other hand, what scientists dont like to say, is that the earth has the ability to revitalize itself, and that includes the Ozone, as well as its electromagnetic shielding. (that protects us from most of the hardened radiation that comes from the sun)
the hole in the ozone layer isn't actually a hole its just where the ozone is thinner than the rest due to the pollution in the world. it just means that it is warmer than it is usually.
don't worry, it won't happen for a few more years.
We will get sucked up into it and it will turn out to be a lovely place and we will live there happily ....or maybe that was just a dream i had ..lol
no more life on earth
We become the 2nd red planet, like Mars.
It wont happen.
Ozone depletion is a spingtime occurance. When it is spring in the southern hemisphere, it is autumn in the northern.
So it is impossible for it to happen totally.
the so called 'hole' is actually getting smaller, but whether it will continue to get smaller is another matter. i'm not going into too much detail but the fact that the earth is still coming out of the last ice age (10,000 years ago) means the planet is still warming up after it, so don't worry too much about so-called global warming. it's just scare-mongering by tree huggers.

Is it better to layer blanket your horses for the winter or just blanket with one high denier blanket?
I layer blanket my horses but I'm in just interested in other peoples opinions.Is it better to layer blanket your horses for the winter or just blanket with one high denier blanket?
The denier of a blanket refers to the tightness of the weave of the nylon outer shell on the blanket.
You could blanket with one with a higher fill count. They are thicker and heavier and provide more insulation.
However layering the blankets works really well. You can make your first layer an absorbent one to wick the moisture away from the skin and then something waterproof over that. It would also provide great insulation between the blankets.
If your horse does not mind the double layer I would stick to that if it works well for you.
Sometimes mine tend to get to hot in the heavy balnkets and sweat and I think something lighter would be better.Is it better to layer blanket your horses for the winter or just blanket with one high denier blanket?
I always thought that it was better to layer blankets rather than just having one heavy one on. That way, you can take layers off in responsive to temperature fluctuations. Also, the air betweent he layers stays warmer allowing for the horse to stay warmer. Also, if the top layer gets wet or really dirty, you can just remove the one and clean/dry it and the horse still has some protection. Just my humble opinion!acne scar cream oil printer toner car oil

How does the transport layer allow a host to maintain multiple, simultaneous communication streams across diff
please choose one:
[ ] It uses error control mechanisms.
[ ] It uses a connectionless protocol only for multiple simultaneous transmissions.
[ ] It uses multiple Layer 2 source addresses.
[ ] It uses multiple ports.How does the transport layer allow a host to maintain multiple, simultaneous communication streams across diff
sounds like a question off of a CCNA test even though it is cut off.. :P So the Transport layer is the 4th layer in the OSI model. it transferes data between users and such. I would learn the ins and outs of the OSI model and TCP/IP. pretty much everything you need to know about that question is right here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_l鈥?/a>
i would choose number 3 though because i think its talking about TCP and UDP but its 3am and im tired so i could be loosing my mind and totally wrong. :D
