Guys, that might be a comment you should send to Sylvia directly since she is probably the only one with control over the overall site theme appearance.  Seems about once a year she does a bit of a sight appearance overhaul and perhaps no one has complained about difficulty reading dark text on darker backgrounds.

I am having this nasty blue background too.  Wish I could turn off these colors....

Is it just me or are others having a hard time seeing the tittles here lately? Black and grey letters on dark blue backgrounds never cuts it. As group creator I thought I could change it here at least, but it must be controlled by the AP gods

If you have any issues with water quality or cycle up being slow you might also change your timing to flood for longer or more often and with the heat wave I hear is coming perhaps flooding more often might help keep the seedlings happier too as well as letting the bacteria get established a bit quicker.

Thanks my spinach and mustard are already sprouting. Transplanted canteloupe and strawberry plant they are doing great along with tomatoe. Caught some bream out of the river and they have been alive for over twelve hours. I am running for fifteen minutes and off for forty five. Seems to be doing good
Thank you all for your comments.

Seeding right in the gravel is fine, you may just need to do something to make sure the seeds get enough moisture to germinate if they were too small to place down and the normal high water level.  but if it is raining there like it is here, then no worries.

One more note on media. Landscape supply will probably double their cost so try and find their source as we did. The first source we found (river stone quarry) no longer sells direct to the public but we kept looking and found the granite quarry who couldn't be more helpful and are happy to sell direct. Just stay out of the way of the commercial giant haulers. Try and find a quiet time at the quarry by phone first. Don't gum up the works and they will be happy to help and you will pay wholesale.

I agree with Jim, we have a landscaping buisness a few miles from me and They have "pink Lady" which is a granet/quartz medium in two sizes.  1/2" to 3/4" and 3/4" to 1" available at $27 per yard and some change.  Much better than pea gravle ($36 p/yard) which has limestone in it (now that's around here may not be the case in other locals).  Check out the landscaping, construction buisnesses and Dept. of Transportation road crews around you.

Thanks all of you for the help, so it seems like what is being said is any thing that is clean and not harmful that is about the same size as pea gravel will work.
I am sure I will have a lot more questions as I get further into this gardening.

When I was working with AP I used cinders in my grow beds.
