    Looks like Larry's mix is about 60% peat where what I have been using is 66% peat, which is the key component to allow the water to actually "wick" the water up.  The pine bark is supposed to hold water and the shape helps provide air space.  Perilite is just for drainage.  Much of what I have...

    I was thinking about OSB because of the cost - much cheaper than an 8" or 10" solid piece.  It has held up in the bottom of my Kratky boxes, so I think it will work. Not sure what you mean by "lined".  Some of the pots have holes near the bottom of the sides that are about 3/4" so I figure they...

    Scored 15 of the black nursery pots today.  They hold 6 1/2 gallons of soil each.  There was also about 20 of the smaller 3 gallon pots as well.  Someone had set them beside the dumpster outside of of my warehouse.  Hello rain gutter garden for the wife's herbs! I have a big roll of black...

    New smoker smell

    Well, you've come to the right place!  I have learned a ton from the people here.

    I'm setting some stuff out pretty much everyday after work.  I hoping we don't get that freakish freeze that we sometimes get in March.

    Hot dogs and cocktail smokies

    Hope to meet quite a few of you at the NFL gathering.  I have tried dogs three times and they came out sort of fair, but not worth the hassle.  Dry mostly.  Save me one of those dogs!  Really!  I want my wife to know that it can be done so that she doesn't roll her eyes when I start making...

    Last year was the first time I had used rock wool.  It's great for starting seeds - seems to hold just the right amount of moisture.

    Small Garden in East Texas

    My carrots are half that size and they are four months old.  They taste great but just small.  I only grow them because the 5 year old daughter wanted them.  I may have better luck if I move them to a spot that has more sunlight?

    Here are a couple of the Cherokee Purple tomatoes that I started.  I had mentioned that they had gotten leggy because I didn't get them under the light soon enough, but you can see the crispy leaves where the first set or two died. I may have used fertilized water on them too early, don't know. ...

    Oh yeah, dilute it down like you are thinking (if you are using the Masterblend).  I used a solution of 50% and almost killed my seedlings.  They are still alive but I burnt the first set or two of leaves off mine.

    Hey!  They finally came up!  I feel much better now. We are going to have a little cold snap over the weekend where we might get a frost.  I'm thinking of putting my seedlings out after this cool snap.

    I can't use those totes for my Kratky stuff.  We get too much rain and the tops funnel it into the reservoir.  I had to build mine out of 2X6's and use foam board for the top.  I think this should be almost mandatory for anyone who uses lettuce - super simple, super cheap, super great to go pick...

    Sorry to hear that some of the seeds aren't coming up.  My Matt's tomatoes and striped eggplant took almost a month to sprout.  I did not plant any Ghost peppers this year as I am over wintering the plant I have and, frankly, they are so hot that I only need a few a year.  One ghost, one reaper...

    Busy man I see.  Hope the seeds work out for you and thanks for seeds and set up for sprouts you shared.  The ghosts are hot as hell, but actually have good flavor behind them.  The datils are totally unique.  I think you will really like them.  Unique taste.  Yeah, only two of my kids even care...
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
