I never thought about the variety. I have been using Yukon Gold potatoes for the last couple years. They are a thin skinned and taste like butter :D
Thanks for the replies so far. It looks like I am doing it right, something just didn't work out :/
Yes. Both. But not wet-mushy. Just soft and shriveling.
I didn't wash them either :/
We were thinking of keeping them in buckets covered in dirt but who wants to carry dirt down in the basement??? Maybe a try of dirt would be easier?
I just finished eating a store-bought baked potato because when I went to get ours, they were in too bad of shape to eat :(
They made it a few months in a sack in our cellar but there must be a sure-fire way to keep potatoes longer. I fed alot to the chickens today. Id rather feed me ;)
What...
I've eaten a few cherry tomatoes, literally a couple :D
But yes, it has been cool this year. Everything seems to be late :(
Keep the faith. If they are there they are bound to ripen eventually!
Wouldn't that depend on what the intake is :rolleyes:
I received a tour of a large city waste treatment facility last spring. Guess what they do with the solids..... apply it to farm fields! The treated "water" goes back into the rivers to soak back into the aquifers so that the water may...
I've got quite the assortment. A few walnuts, hackberrys, oak, cottonwood, and various evergreens.
Years ago I remember my dad using a tar like substance on trees that he limbed. Wasn't that used to seal the open tree?
I am losing skin every time I mow my yard this year :(
Can I remove a few limbs this time of the year? (June for those that will read this using the search feature in the future)
I am sick of ducking and getting ripped up. :P
My mother's strawberry bed was just getting over taken by crab grass. Crab grass had long runners and deep roots. Almost impossible to pull completely.
She brushed Round-up on the grass. Using a small brush carefully "paint" the chemical on the grass leaves. It doesn't stay with the soil...
This is an odd question because more questions are HOW to make compost.
My step son started a job this summer working for a local city. They happen to have a city compost pile at the landfill site. Cool! I like a city that takes it's trash and turns it into treasure :)
Well, he surprised us...
Success? Maybe... for that spot. Don't forget that I had brown spots also.
I like the idea of saving the urine and properly using it but when it is dry out (right now we need RAIN!!) you will burn stuff.
As with everything else.... best in moderation.
I have more of a decomposition pile than a compost pile but here is my method. If I didn't have such a huge bedding to poo ratio I would get more serious about doing it right.
In the fall I do a complete clean up of the coop. I take that fresh poo which is what everyone says is too "hot" to...
I figured I would update my dog pee situation (huh???).
This spring we have had fairly normal rain fall and all the dead spots grew back bigger and better than the surrounding lawn.
So, my thoughts are that last fall we were really dry and it knocked down the grass. With regular watering the...
I had to come back and re-visit this thread. We had a pretty good frost Saturday night... they are now slightly black. Still mostly green but they got nipped. If I could just keep the straw on them :/
Can a potato plant take frost??
I would have used composite if I could afford it. I just used landscaping 3x3's and will replace them when needed.
I don't have the detailed info you want to hear, but I can't imagine that a thermo-set plastic composite can do anything to your soil or veggies. In fact, I would believe that...
