The employer portion of payroll taxes includes the following: 1  Social Security taxes (6.2 percent up to the annual maximum) 2  Medicare taxes (1.45 percent of wages) 3  Federal unemployment taxes (FUTA) 4  State unemployment taxes (SUTA)
This is how I like to plant my lotus: 1  Put a couple inches of sand in the bottom of your pot. 2  Add a couple inches of top soil. 3  The depth depends on the size of your pot. 4  Do not use potting soil. 5  The light weight potting soil will float out of your container. 6  The best is soil with clay in it.
Lotus are hardy from zones 5 to 10 and there are some varieties that are hardy to zone 4 so be sure to check the zone hardiness of the variety that you are purchasing. Sun requirements are at least 6 hours a day. They will not bloom well in 6 hours but they will grow.
