    Grow pots

    By now youve probably gathered, felt pots win the opinion poll! If you're in a local with not much available, Amazon sells a number of different versions. Nothing but felt pots in the greenhouse going from 7 to 20 gallon. Being a dirt grower my opinion is that 7's too small and 20's way too big...

    There's more to life than weed!

    Keef- we lived in Alice for a couple years, you were the ethnic minority but the people were real nice. (1978-1980) id have to say your gulf shrimp tasted better than ours, these are quite sweet but missing that taste. Rose- we have some smallish sandy beaches but due to the short, cool season...

    Berry bomb auto / greenhouse

    The soil is a locally available garden soil / ffof combination at 66 / 33 percent. Additional amendments include neem meal, kelp meal, alfalfa meal, fish bone meal and some mycos. I make tea at roughly 3 week intervals and everything in the garden and greenhouse get the same treatment. Heres...

    Hopefully this is not too boring for all you acomplished types! Ive got a new greenhouse this year and couldnt not try one. So i went to my seed library and pulled out a Berry Bomb Auto bean which has the best chance of finishing during our short, intense summer. They say 70 days from seed and...

    Easy source for RSO solvent (200 proof grain alcohol)

    Organic alcohol was my first choice over a year ago, nen with shipping they doubled the price and when i said ok, they added another big fee? What part of just give me the price and ship it is too hard to understand. During our last conversation it was apparent they did not want to ship to...

    Easy source for RSO solvent (200 proof grain alcohol)

    Always leaning in an organic direction, ive been looking for a way to buy good alcohol for my extractions. I tried dealing with an Oregon firm whose products would have worked fine but getting them to Alaska proved problematical. Here in Alaska 151 (everclear) is the allowable limit and its...

    The big bopper!

    Like most, i started with an aquarium pump in a five gal bucket which worked well enough.

Along the way i learned about the...

    bees?

    Bees arent a big deal, any small operator can manage a hive or two however due to all the folks who spray round-up on everything, we no longer eat the honey. Still keep bees though, for polination purposes. A first timer should determine whether they are alergic to bees, some people are...
