‑ Small scraps of fabric knit or wovens, generally a by‑product of the apparel manufacturing process
Fragments of rock which are a result of the cutting action of the drill bit on the formation These cuttings are transported to the surface by the drilling fluid
Chips and small rock fragments brought to the surface by the flow of drilling mud as it is circulated and examined by geologists for oil content
Chips and small fragments of rock produced by drilling that are circulated up from the drill bit to the surface by drilling mud
Sometimes the easiest (and fastest) way to grow a new plant is not from seed, but asexually from cuttings Cuttings are taken from roots, stems, or leaves and encouraged to regenerate by providing ideal growing conditions and (oftentimes) applying rooting hormones Unlike plants started from seed, a plant grown from a cutting will have exactly the same characteristics of the parent plant
are a method of propagation Softwood cuttings for lemon balm, mint, oregano, rosemary, sage, and thyme are taken before the new growth becomes hard or woody These plants are usually quite easy to root Taking cuttings will spur the plant into new growth and keep it bushy In spring or early summer, prepare containers with a ½ and ½ mix of peat and perlite The mix has to drain well to prevent rot Take cuttings with a sharp knife, not scissors Make your cut just below a node (bud section) Put shoots in the shade in a plastic bag or in water to prevent moisture loss Carefully cut off all leaves except the top swirl Make a hole in the mix Do not allow leaves to touch the mix Do not overcrowd Keep cuttings out of direct sun; bright shade is best Cover them with a plastic bag and spray them with water often Turn the plastic bag inside out if condensation collects If fungal growth appears on a cutting, discard it at once
Spoils particles, also known as drilling spoils, created during the boring process Use of proper drilling fluid will help to suspend the cuttings, which reduces the risk of them getting stuck during drilling or backreaming
- In drilling, pieces of drilled rocks brought to the surface by the returning mud stream
