It's a good idea to prepare your garden soil a couple of weeks ahead of planting, too. Tilling the soil early will fool weeds into germinating early, and you can then pull them to reduce competition with your seedlings. When there is no longer any risk of frost, take the seedlings out of the pots and plant them into the garden. Water regularly (but don't over water) and feed with a high quality fertilizer like PINK Vigoro or Instant Vigoro Water Soluble Plant Starter 10-52-10. 1, record 3, English, - plant%20starter

It's time to repot when you notice either of the following conditions: your plant needs water daily because it won't hold any moisture or large roots are pushing through the drain hole. In both cases the root system has grown so big that very little soil is left in the pot. Find a slightly larger container, and transplant using good quality soil. To avoid or minimize transplant shock handle the roots gently and water well after repotting. A good plant starter fertilizer like 10-52-10 will help encourage root growth. 2, record 3, English, - plant%20starter

Entraînement de l'air. Des bulles d’air entraînées avec la pâte dans la caisse d’arrivée peuvent créer des défauts d’aspect dans la feuille(trous, petites taches), et provoquer un mauvais égouttage sur la toile de même que des instabilités dans le système de répartition. De petites quantités d’air se mélangent habituellement à la suspension lorsqu'on l'agite ou qu'elle tombe dans un cuvier. La plupart des problèmes sont cependant dus à la fosse à eaux blanches. L'eau qui s’écoule librement de la zone de formation sur la toile tombe dans des bacholles de récupération qui canalisent l'eau blanche vers une fosse placée soit sous la toile, soit du côté transmission de la machine. L'eau blanche récupère inévitablement une certaine quantité d’air; un temps de séjour relativement long dans un canal découvert est souhaitable pour que l'air puisse s’échapper et que la turbulence se dissipe avant qu'on ne mélange les eaux de la fosse sous toile avec le reste de la suspension. 1, record 4, French, - entra%C3%AEnement%20de%20l%26rsquo%3Bair

((Metering and blending of furnishes)) The machine chest typically contains the final furnish mixture, although in some instances, small concentrations of additives may be added just prior to the headbox. The machine chest stock (at 2.6 - 2.8 % consistency) is continuously circulated to a constant head tank (stuff box) which feeds the stock through a control valve (called the "basis weight valve") into the paper machine approach system. Here, the stock is combined with circulating white water from the wire pit, and the consistency is dramatically reduced to the level (typically 1 % or less) required at the headbox. 1, record 6, English, - basis%20weight%20valve

On distingue deux sortes de fermenteurs à alimentation continue, les cuves gazométriques et les digesteurs à déplacement. Les premiers sont constitués d’une fosse, quelquefois en deux compartiments communicants, fermée par une cloche à gaz en tôle, simplement guidée dans ses déplacements verticaux et posée librement sur le contenu de la fosse ou dans l'eau d’un canal étroit et profond entourant complètement celle-ci(joint hydraulique)(...) A l'intérieur de l'enceinte, les déplacements au sein de la boue se font verticalement. Les rendements en mélange gazeux obtenus avec ce procédé sont de l'ordre de 80 m [cubes]/T fraîche pour les bovins à 250 m [cubes]/T fraîche pour les porcins et 350 m [cubes]/T fraîche pour les volailles. 1, record 7, French, - cuve%20gazom%C3%A9trique
