Container gardening. Consider planting large containers filled with colorful annual flowers to brighten up dull spots in your landscape or camouflage a bad view. Containers can add height and dimension to a landscape. Bright flowers attract attention and become a focal point, drawing the eye away from a bad view. Thoughtfully placed they can become utilitarian pieces, too. A container can become a decorative flowering barrier, which your neighbors may appreciate more than a fence or a hedge. 1, record 2, English, - container%20gardening

The distinction between dry drawing and wet drawing is that in the latter process steel wire is immersed in a dilute solution of copper sulphate or stannous sulphate or in a mixture of these salts, and, then in fermented rye liquor. From this latter bath the wire is drawn in the wet state. Wet drawn steel wire may have a coppery surface produced by chemical replacement of copper by iron in the sulfate solution. 2, record 4, English, - dry%20drawing
