    Goja Berry and Blueberry Juice.

    I would keep them indoors for the Winter. In Zone 3 it might be too much of a shock if placed outdoors now. The Chinese railway labourers brought goji about 1885 to Edmonton, and some are still surviving in the wild. This indicates they can withstand very cool climates.

    Weed torch

    I have used a torch for several years. It doesn't kill weeds only gives them an excellent habitant in which to grow, and can damage any nearby structure like a chicken wire fence. Some types of obnoxious grass grow magnificently after burning all the other vegetation to the ground. Conclusion...

    How a potato plant grows!

    As a parting shot. I consider the potato to be a food of the gods. There was an interesting article produced by National Geographic about 20/25 years ago, which was truly enlightening. The main point, that always stuck in my mind, was that most of the nutrients are just under the skin, and...

    To open discussion

    Of course. Opinion are not embedded in stone, but facts come close to being so. In my particular case, I am too ignorant to insult or get upset. I only respond adversely to stupidity, of which there is no shortage of in our society.

    Pressure Cooker

    In pressure canning the objective is to raise the temperature of the jars to 240F for some set time to kill all bacteria. What I mean is it is possible to reach 15 PSI without the jars reaching 240F. My procedure is to operate the pressure cooker without the bubbler in place for about 30...

    Personally, I am well aware of the caveats regarding soy beans. It appears one pays their money and takes their chances. I choose to utilize soy and consider them to be beneficial in my case. Natto and pureed. All the food we ingest is a balancing act. If the situation were simple we could...
