We are living in an era of trends and lists, especially when it comes to the Internet. No matter what your home page is, there's usually a couple of "Top 10 Lists" waiting for you - everything from "The 10 Top Foods That Give You Gas" to "The 10 Things You Should Not Talk About in a Job Interview," which probably includes a number of items from the first list. There are quite a few "Top 10 Genealogy Research Resources" lists out there, as well. Most of them include the customary: 1) census, 2) online records, 3) city directories, and so forth. However, the one genealogy research resource that trumps them all is a super powerful, knows-no-bounds search engine (no, it's not Mocavo.com) that each and every genealogist has in their possession - whether they know it or not. This remarkable resource is known as Random Acts of Genealogy Kindness (also referred to as Genealogy Karma) - be nice to others and it will come back to you. Whether line...

There is one key but it has three factors, in setting up a successful aquaponics system that you must keep in mind. But first let us dissect the components on which aquaponics is built on: Aquaculture and hydroponics. Aquaculture is the farming of aquatic creatures such as plants, fish, shellfish, and other water born creatures. It's just like our normal home aquariums. However hydroponics is growing plants in water without soil. The main advantage of using this type of growing is you don't need acres of land. You can grow the same amount of food in a 6 x 6 foot area instead of an acre of land. Aquaponics system combines these two separate systems together. You build a tank with fish in it and use it to water and fertilize your plants. It has everything your plants need. You won't have to use extra water or chemicals. The grow beds on its part provides for the fish purified and oxygenated, which is needed for aquatic life. Although, bacteria is usually added to convert fis...

One of the first things that many potential garden design students will ask themselves is what's the potential for a career in garden design? It's an important question to ask because, like with any new career, you need to be absolutely sure that you're heading in the right direction. But whilst you may get the support of your family and friends when you start a garden design course by the time you've graduated they might be so used to your new direction that you're faced with a lot of choices on your own. So what are these garden design career choices? First and foremost the majority of students aim to be setting up their own businesses if not straightaway then within a year or two of graduating. For many this can be a daunting task but a good design course will already be setting you up with both the tools and the contacts to hit the ground running. If you're setting up your business as soon as you graduate then look around to see if there are any people who ...

A successful rabbit feed program will not only help you have overall healthier rabbits, but will also help you cut costs. Lower feeding costs result in higher net profits, and a higher quality feed will result in higher quality rabbits that can sell for more. Rabbits have sensitive stomachs, so feeding them properly is also important for keeping them healthy. The most important staple of a rabbit's diet is hay. They should be given hay freely and in large quantities. Your breeding stock that are older than 6 months will need timothy hay, which will keep them from getting too fat as it is low in calories. Your younger rabbits that are being raised as broilers need alfalfa, which has a higher calorie count that will help them put on weight, and more calcium which will help their bones keep up with their growing bodies. A good supplement to hay is commercial pellets, which should also be given to all rabbits. With your breeding stock, you can feed 1/8 of a cup per day per 5 pounds (2...
