I got my Honey (on sale)from Terreganix a kitchen composter with bokashi .
It makes Her happy !
I realize what a beautius thing that is for her and for me with the juice we can get.
I saw one of our Brothers grow elephant plants which were huge down Texas.
My Buddys wife Has huge plants as big and its because she got them addicted to worm casting juice and the compost juice.
Bannana peel smoothie !
She also makes a nice sauce too.

This may be a good thing for me to have one just for myself.
I see possible great benefits with using this and throwing in what I defoliate and low useless buds.
At that point the buds' should have enzymes and agreeable nutrients.
It gives me a good spot for plant like stuff that was destined to be thrown away to go on and lead a productive fluid like life.
I need to discuss this in great detail with my team world wide.
We all get together zoom wise around the world for bingo ,every Wedneday.
Will discuss and move forward with decisions.

There are so many of them out there, and I always did all my own diagnostics and repairs, so I never really looked much into the You Tube mechanics. I spent my entire career trying to disprove the whole knuckle-dragger, stubble-bearded cigar chomping rag-in-the-back-pocket, 'girly calendars hanging in the restroom' persona perpetuated by the media and entertainment moguls. The whole "Grease Monkey" thing, if you know what I mean - there are plenty of those out there, but I was never one of them.

RosterMan, I've literally extended my hand in a friendly introductory shake, only to have the recipient physically inspect it to be sure it was clean enough for him to shake. I don't cotton much to that ****. My wife is an accounting professional - she has her own office, even. A cute little receptionist at a Christmas party one year asked me "what I was going to school for, while working on cars". After my basic Auto Technology 101 response to her and a brief description of my daily duties, she didn't have much to say, the entry-level phone answerer. LOL Sorry, nothing personal and no insult intended to you or anyone, but that was the reality of my career. OK...I'm gettin' off my soapbox now.

As to You Tube Mechanics though...there is a guy that I look in on once in a while. His name is Cletus McFarland, and he does some crazy stuff! That he's based out of the 2nd oval track I grew up going to is a plus - and the drag strip is one I've actually raced on. Gawd only knows I loves me some screaming hi performance engines! Burnouts, too.

I especially like the little sissies that wear the blue gloves 'cause they're afraid to get their pretty little hands dirty. Nothing wrong with being a working man with callused hands. Got much more respect for them than I do for the paper shufflers.

The neoprene gloves thing is a *relatively recent phenom in auto repair. I never used them because they made my hands sweat, and that gave me a feeling of lack of control over whatever I was holding, but I gotta tell ya', keeping your hands clean takes some effort, unless you want to sit across the table with a new hottie date while having solid black fingernails.

I did not, and my wife is too fine for me to put greasy hands on her. So I scrubbed them. I scrubbed them at work between jobs, and I scrubbed them (with a dedicated fingernail brush, too) when I got in the shower every night. I never left my house with dirty fingernails.

On another note, there are lots of caustic chemicals in an auto repair shop. Brake Kleen and Carb Spray and gas and oil and all kinds of other fluids, and most guys just want to keep those off their hands. I kinda wish I'd been a bit more aware of such things as I was coming up in the ranks. My skin is like rice rolling papers it's so thin.

*as in the mid-late 90's, maybe?
