    Struggling with buying plants from local garden stores

    I use an Areo garden and grow my own dandelions, lettuce and other seeds my tortoise loves. I know there is no soil issues as it is all hydroponic. I love it and they get very fresh greens every day. I live in Connecticut. The investment was worth it.

    Dry Shell? Fungus? Shell Rot?

    Is Unsweetened apple Sauce Ok for Cherry heads?

    I have had them a long time, they used to be my husbands, they have never been used and he said he bought them for construction, but didn't use them. I love the fact they fit perfect in the green house.
