Yes, one guy figured that out. The first one had the register 2 or 3 teeth away from the one being sharpened and against the back side not in deep. The second guy had it on the next tooth over and did figure out that you want it all the way in the gullet. However he was pulling the stone across...
Hmmm, that could be quite useful!! On clearance at HF and not available at any store near me.
I watched a couple of YouTube videos. On commenter said it came with a 120 grit diamond wheel but to get a well sharpened tooth you need to go back twice, with the final diamond wheel of 500 grit. Do...
I have no idea where one would find a burlap bag these days! Everything is in the big plastic (hopefully from recycled plastic) bags. Last time I saw a burlap bag was probably over 50 years ago. We had them when we went out mackerel fishing on the charter boats in So. Cal.. Fish go in the bag...
I planted the tiny ones from the 5# bag I got from my farmer friend at the Farmers market last year. He sells quart containers and 5# bags at the market but also sells 50# bags. I know he isn't treating them to stop sprouting. I definitely trust the food I buy there to be less "treated" than...
My farmer friend said to dig the potatoes when the plants start to die. The whites looked like this today
So I collected them. Lifted the compost (chicken litter, alpaca poo, kitchen scraps and some ash from the wood stove) into one bucket and the potatoes into a bushel basket. The right side...
So you did it just to show people what happens if you use "hot" litter?
I should be safe, I'm using stuff from the center (of 3) compost bins. Alpaca poo and hay, chicken coop shavings and poop, kitchen scraps. Nothing added to that bin since fall of 2021.
Wow that is some kind of humid! What would happen if you covered them with those plastic coated/fabric underside table cloth things? Would it just sweat underneath or would it maybe keep the damp off?
I've done that, both as you have or with "kits" that come with wheels, you supply the 2x4s cut to the needed length. I'd be in BIG trouble if I couldn't move the tools around. Not as convenient as a massive workshop with enough room for everything but that isn't what most of us have. And it...
I've seen the occasional praying mantis here but have never seen the egg cases. Very interesting. I'll have to start looking to see if there are any in the plants around the house.
We are starting to get leaves on some trees. It is 3 weeks too early based on history. Typically we wouldn't see leaf buds until the first week of May and then the leaves pop the second week.
