Hey TomH. I guess this should all be on one of the grow-foods topics . . . But . . .
This cover is to keep the white eggs laying moths off of our cabbages. No more birds problems either.
Look at these 32" high metal sided . . .
Think we will have a slugs problem anymore . . .
With three dogs out and about no rabbits, skunks, raccoon problems either. No more deer in the dog fenced yard. These are within that dog fenced yard.
No more moles problems. No more dogs digging for moles problems.
Nothing more disheartening than to lose irreplacable 6-8 weeks of growing season to any of these.
The wife and I only need 400-600 pounds of potatoes. She found early seed potatoes for $1.00 a pound.

That would be greatly appreciated, and also what to do with the tar.

What i have in mind at the moment is to repair my âgĂ€rsgĂ„rdâ translation?
Dip the poles in tar to avoid rotting.

Yes, but the tar I get is so thick, so it canât be used, unless I heat it very much, and then it should only be on the outside of the wood.

I have not seen that type of set up for those beds Steve. Impressive. Iâd be thinking about a way to duplicate that netting with plastic for an early season grow house next year.

You can also use the resin from pine trees to make a flux for electronics by dissolving it in isopropyl alcohol.

I heard it was supposed to snow there today. Look like itâs back to winter again.
The last few days itâs just been raining here.
It makes it difficult to work on stuff and not get to wet.

Ouch. Dare I put up my own this morningâs picture??
Many, many (TOO MANY!!) do move out here far-West wetside of the continent for the milder marine climate.
We had to sheets and blankets cover last night for this morningâs clear sky frost.
This house and garden corner spot is our sunniest on the whole property.

I made a pic and some of tou guys were wondering how the haywagon worked a while back.
I picked up another one for free a week or two back and there were lots of things the previous owner took off it to use for other projects and I have been fixing it up these past few days to store firewood on as well as to use it as intended to begin with.
I made a short movie after I fixed it so it runs in case someone still wonders how it works, this is the testrun.

Haha, looks almost the same as oldest daughterâs late Cocker Spaniel Harry. Only he had more extra skin under his eyes and looked a bit stupid đ But a heart of gold.
