Well, I had everything I need for the air pump experiment here.  So here is a video and some pictures.

<a href="http://i402.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid402.photobucket.com/albums/pp101/nascar81054/v1.flv" target="_blank">http://i402.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid402.photobucket.com/albums/pp101/nascar81054/v1.flv</a>


I hope that is enough air.  It is more than there was.

Well done. And wonderful presentation!!!

Can you not crank the air any higher? If you can, a little more would be nice. If not, eh.

Thanks Gisette.  I couldn't get a good picture of the piece of 2x4 that I use to cover the hole and put the air tubing through.  I will try and get pictures of that in day light.

Well, perhaps the chunk of 2x4 is more photogenic in daylight. But the two pictures did make its role and hole and deployment very clear - schematically, if not fully realizing your artistic vision.  Cheesy

I really wanted to hear the TV better on the bubbler video, tho.  Cheesy

I think it was the DVR with an episode of How It's Made.

It was fun making the video and the pictures.

Putting the air pump together was very easy and fun too. Smiley

Nice work Terry, any air you can get in there is going to help lots.

The 'bud light' is mandatory, not optional.  Wink

Agreed with Peat. Very nice work.

I have to say though that while the picture was loading I was wondering completely what the "bud light optional" caption meant. ROFL!

The Bud Light just helps everything go a little smoother.  This way if what you were trying to didn't work, it was still fun trying.LOL

I was talking to my wife about it and she knew we already had the stuff to do it.  It took longer to find the stuff then it did to put it together.

I don't know if it is coincidence or not but it seems that the ones that were not doing so well have grown twice as much in a day as they have in four weeks.

One of them is an Oak Leaf, I have been trying to figure out what that one was.

One of the ones at the back next to the wood chunk might be oak leaf (the other's some kind of romaine). Is that what you meant?

Oak leaf lettuce has deep lobes on its leaves, like an oak leaf. Pretty vigorous plant - will be able to tell a bit better when it's bigger.

Yeah the one in the back by the 2x4 it grew so much in the last day that it is apparent what it is today.

I don't know what is more fun gorwing, experimenting or harvesting.  It's all fun.
