Flexible partition wall and indoor herb garden become one with Herb 2

 

When I saw this I thought “have your wall and eat it”. It looks like a good idea for someone, but not me. Seems like a lot of work and forget to water and soon you will have the heady smell of rotting herbs. Pass.

There's nothing quite like the heady aroma of fresh herbs, and nothing more satisfying than growing your own. Whether you use them to scent a room or give your cooking some much-needed taste bud titillation, if you live in tightly-packed city accommodation then indulging your appetite for fresh greenery can be difficult. If your home is not blessed with enough window space for a hanging garden like Windowfarms, but you have lots of floor space that's just begging to be divided up, then take a look at the Herb 2 project from FABRIKAAT. An experiment in folding and bending, this flexible partition wall is also a herb garden and an unusual source of low-energy lighting for your living space...

Where is Zemanta?

I have Zemanta installed to give me some inspiration as a peck away trying to write something meaningful.
It is a great program and it works when I Use Internet Explorer but is not here in Google Chrome.
Do you know why? If you do how about telling me? I sure would like to have it back.
Thanks

Classifiers Are Your Most Important Tool

When you are at the "old gold claim" or just out kicking rocks you will want to do a quick sample to see if you are kicking in the right place.

You will be carrying your pan, maybe 2 pans, a big one and a smaller one for the final preview. I am amazed that not many people carry a simple sieve or classifier.

You can sample probably 6 or 7 times as much material if you put it through a screen before you pan it out. All the big junk is gone and you will be looking at the most likely material to contain gold.

There are tons of good classifiers for sale or you can use any of the free plans available and make your own.

It is fast and easy to use a screen and sort the gravel down to a size that is best to hand pan. The other nice thing is that you will be more likely to see some gold in your pan once you have classified and panned your samples.

You can do your screening at the site and put the resulting material into a labeled bag and carry it back to camp to do the panning. This will give yo an idea where to go the next time you head out.

Always label and indicate with a drawing or map where yo tok the dirt from, include water level if you are gathering from a creek or river. If you can you should try to mark the site to make it easy to find when you return. Don't put up a sign but figure a discrete way to mark so no one will notice and start wondering what is happening. 

I am linking here to a couple of good classifier plans.
