		<description><![CDATA[Freediving is exactly that, diving for free. But it doesn't just stop there, it's both a sport and a passion for many people. I love the feeling of swimming into the blue with nothing but a pair of fins, mask (...swimsuit). The learning curve may be high if your aiming for diving deep ,but the payoff of discovering another world with your own lung capacity and mental training is big. It's all about looking down into that deep blue world from the surface, excited, but at the same time concentrating on your breathing. When you're ready, when you are confident you've got enough air in you to dive, you  head first into the the deep... the exciting part has just began, you're on you own now, in a meditative trance, you’re focused on going deeper while keeping an eye on things below you,  A massive ship that appears out of the blue on descent at 30 meters can give you a shocking feeling, a straight (up and down) dive, or a first time dive in an underwater cave or tunnel; it's always interesting no matter what you are free diving for.

<p>Freediving is exactly that, diving for free. But it doesn&#8217;t just stop there, it&#8217;s both a sport and a passion for many people. I love the feeling of swimming into the blue with nothing but a pair of fins, mask (&#8230;swimsuit). The learning curve may be high if your aiming for diving deep ,but the payoff of discovering another world with your own lung capacity and mental training is big. It&#8217;s all about looking down into that deep blue world from the surface, excited, but at the same time concentrating on your breathing. When you&#8217;re ready, when you are confident you&#8217;ve got enough air in you to dive, you  head first into the the deep&#8230; the exciting part has just began, you&#8217;re on you own now, in a meditative trance, you’re focused on going deeper while keeping an eye on things below you,  A massive ship that appears out of the blue on descent at 30 meters can give you a shocking feeling, a straight (up and down) dive, or a first time dive in an underwater cave or tunnel; it&#8217;s always interesting no matter what you are free diving for.</p>

<p>Preparation : ( inhale slowly (1&#8230;2&#8230;3&#8230;4&#8230;5&#8230;6&#8230;7&#8230;8), sigh ) for around 8 times &#8230; relax for a couple of minutes &#8230; inhale fully &#8230; and dive!</p>
<p>I had a request from 4 Swedish freedivers to crash at my house for a week, I accepted their request without even thinking about it. Daniel, Erik, Stina and Dan&#8230; you guys inspired me to go a couple of meters deeper whilst you where here. I&#8217;ve always took freediving as a &#8220;relaxed&#8221; hobby, but you opened me eyes without even knowing it (especially Daniel and Erik, who can stay under  for long). Here are some photos, I&#8217;ll be posting videos soon.</p>

<h2>Which Crop to Grow</h2>
<p>Most veg that grows in a backyard will do well as a container plants.  Carrots, Cucumber, Green beans, Lettuce, Parsley, Pepper, Radishes, Spinach &amp; tomatoes are amongst the most popular</p>
<h2>Fertilization</h2>
<p>Conatiner plants need to be fertilized more then field-grown plants because they have less soil to provide the nutrients they need. A soluble fertilizer applied once a week is recommended while watering. I suggest using a 15-30-15 oe 20-20-20</p>
<h2>Growing Tomatos</h2>
<ol>
<li>Dont crowd the seedling, give them room to branch out.</li>
<li>Provide lots of light. luckly for me I live in Malta, if you live in a location that lacks light you may consider having growing lights running at 14-18 hours at a time.</li>
<li>put a fan on you seedlings, I thought that this whould not work but it did. To develop strong stems you&#8217;ll need to train them, provide a breeze for a couple of minutes a day</li>
<li> Preheat the soil, more heat means that you&#8217;ll harvest sooner</li>
<li>Once at 3 inch high. remove bottom leavs, so the plant will grow faster</li>
<li>romove the suckers that develop at the joint of the plant &#8211; they just take the energy away</li>
<li>Water them regularly when plants are developing. Also, feed the tomatos a lot more once they are blossoming</li>
</ol>
