What kind of container should you put dry ice in for halloween to make fog?
Q. We are trying to go for a spooky effect and we were curious of what kind of containers to stick it in. We were thinking of placing it behind our chairs and maybe some down the walkway. Does the container need to be thrown away or can we use it again. What type of container should be used?

A. Dry ice is a solid form of carbon dioxide, the gas we exhale. Too much in an enclosed space (it sounds like you'll be doing this inside) can be dangerous or even deadly as it can cause suffocation. So if you are inside, don't use too much or make sure the area is well ventilated. It can also make some floors slippery. Be careful not to touch dry ice, and make sure that children or pets won't be able to get at it. Lastly, never put dry ice in an airtight container as it WILL explode. Safety issues aside, to make dry ice into fog, the water has to be hot. I would highly recommend that you DO NOT use sterno and a paint can for this. It will create a very hot metal can that will be very dangerous. Estimate that for each 15-minute period of… [cont.]

Best kind of tomato to grow in a container?
Q. I was wondering what kind of tomato was the best/easiest to grow oin a container. I have a large yard but I'm unable to plant because we are planning on moving soon and it could be next week or two months from now, so I'd rather just put them in a container in case they have to be moved. So space isn't a concern. I'm located in Northeast PA is that matters at all. Thanks in advance.

A. Great way to grow tomato's in containers is to look for varieties that are bush or determinate types. These are well behaved the do not get huge and viney. They are normally early producers of fruit and you can actually get two separate harvests. there are lots of different varieties as well heirlooms new hybrids yellow red you name it. I do them in patio pots and they do great. remember to water on a regular schedule and fertilize and you will have a bumper crop.

A. With minimal details, a best approximation is as follows: The cost to bring a 40' container from Shanghai to USA (LAX port - Los Angeles) can run between $3,500 - 4,500 for ocean charges. Customs clearance fees generally fall around 110-150. You also have to factor in PSS (peak season surcharges), and any extras such as Shanghai port charges, security charges, advanced notification fees, etc. If you contact a freight forwarder with your shipper and consignee information they can give you a quote. Have them break your quote down so you can see what they are charging for each cost. Then you can compare them to each other and see who is the cheapest or possibly negotiate for better rates. Some good companies are: Expeditors, Exel, CH… [cont.]
