I have water catches under all my plants and rocks in the bottom. They are growing at an amazing rate but dont know why some leaves turn yellow and dead looking at the ends. I have to trim them constantly. Any help would be appreciated
This could be a problem of inconsistent watering, salt or fertilizer buildup, or toxins in the soil. If the same water stands under the plant's container so that the soil can reabsorb it through the drainage holes, salts can build up in the soil, and the soil can stay excessively moist. This could cause the symptoms you see.

You can get rid of any salts or toxins by flushing the soil (watering until the water runs out the drainage holes for several minutes), and by making sure the water is allowed to drain (or is removed from the tray beneath the plants) after each watering session.
que 1- what is estimated cost of this monster machine? que 2- technical detail about this machine? que 3- per hour harvesting capacity
This is not something that we deal with here. I would say to contact the manufacturer on the specs of the machine. They should be able to help.
Once bulb lasagna pots have bloomed, can they be "summer-ized" to bloom again next spring or do you have to start all over with new bulbs?
Personally, I do not know very much about the subject, but I have two articles that will help you out here:

i recently subscribed to your newsletter. I notice that most articles refer to Zone 3. I live in Zone 8a; did I miss something in signing up? Or do articles eventually include other Zones? I am learning and enjoying!
The newsletter is based off of recently published articles. We are working on building up articles on different zones. We will be working on zone 8 soon.
I have ceramic pots that I'd like to put globes in during the winter. However, the globes I want to purchase are 10" diameter, and my pots are 16" diameter. Would they roll/move around if it's really windy? Thank you for your help!
I would look for a cheap 12 inch plastic plot, put the globe in that and then set it into your larger pot. You could fill the 16 inch pot with lots of soil and nest the globe in the soil; my concern is with the freeze and thaw of the soil cracking the globe. You might employ bubble wrap to act as bumpers on the inside of the pot.
I'm baffled to find that the suet blocks I put on the high bird feeder keeps disappearing overnight they are not on the ground I have seen a squirrel acasionally feeding from there but not often I would have thought a suet block would be to awkward and heavy for a squirrel to carry off ? its mostlt pigeons that feed from there as they have seen off the smaller birds what can be taking the suet blocks away ?
Since this is happening at night, suspicions turn to nocturnal animals like raccoons and opossums. Both are climbers and opportunistic feeders.
