Among the many challenges faced by today's businesses is the huge mountain of paperwork that must be stored for years on end; paperwork that must be produced in the case of a tax audit or civil complaint. While the length of time different records have to be kept varies, in the U.K. businesses must hold on to paperwork for periods ranging from three to twenty years. On the high end, that means a lot of documents sitting and collecting dust in a warehouse or spare office.

Cardboard document boxes are a nice thing to have for paperwork you'll need access to on a regular basis. But for long-term storage they are not so good. They don't protect against moisture or heat, they sag and collapse over time, and if you have to move them around the warehouse several times during their life, you run the risk of breaking them open. No, what businesses need for the long-term scenario are plastic storage boxes. They are up to the task and can last indefinitely.

If you're a business owner using cardboard boxes for storage, consider a hypothetical situation. Let's just say, for instance, there's a pretty bad storm one weekend while nobody is in the office. If a tree falls down and damages your warehouse roof, all those boxes of records could easily be exposed to rain and wind. What do you suppose might potentially happen in a worst-case scenario? You could lose all that paperwork and find yourself in deep, deep trouble. The same can be said concerning other things like rodent damage. Rodents, in case you didn't know, love cardboard and paper for nesting material. With plastic storage boxes your documents will be protected as best they can be without putting them in a safe.

Gardening Fruits and Veggies in a clear plastic box? And lawn trouble?

Ok here's my problem, I want to plan my own garden this year. I mean like the whole enchilada. (Speaking lawn, gardening, everything). The kind of yard that I have is hard, so my mother suggested to me that maybe i could put my veggies and ect. in clear storage boxes and have them on the patio. I thought that was a good idea but i don't know how many quarts the box needs to be.

And also I am trying to fix my lawn too because it looks kinda shitty. So i was going to get a few of the Miracle Grow fertilizers with like crabgrass control and another with weed control and mix them together and pour them around the yard. Any advice please?

Answer
Do NOT mix together herbicides or fertilizers that have been packaged together. Don't be playing with those chemicals unless you know what is what.

Use a preemergent to stop weeds from sprouting. Apply one herbacide at a time, then wait. They susally take a while to work.

Fertilize per package directions. And next time use half as much.

Just grow your veggies in normal pots if you aren't going to plant them. A #5, or 5 gallon as they are called, will be big enough. They are about a foot across and about that deep too.

You're asking for a semster's worth of info in a few paragraphs. Get a good gardening book and read lots. Then get two more books and read them.
