Home Depot (and similar stores) can be the source of alot of good
"stuff". In addition to the "little pots of horror" (Home Depot by my
house even had nepenthes) you can go to the concrete section and get
rectangular black tubs about 6-8" deep and 2 ft square. They are
intended for mixing mortar. I uses them for bogs. Their main
advantage is they are sturdy and cheap $3-8 US depending on the size
which is alot cheaper than the typical "tupperware". They are also
small enough to move when full, unlike a kiddie pool.
However, one problem I am have with these home stores (at least in
the US) is that I cannot find electronic ballasts for florescent
lights. I have a four tube fixture I would like to reballast. I have
heard that this could be done for about $20 US, but I can't seem to
find the ballasts. Does anyone in the US know a chain store where I
can get an Electronic ballast suitable for a 4 tube 48" fixture?

PS. O have no affilliation with Home Depot
