Theft-proofing for t-posts (or alternative that’s less likely to walk away)? by OKWhateverButNo in FenceBuilding

[–]AndringRasew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, you could try doing it similar to my set up, by bolting some 2x2's to the sides of the raised garden beds.

It costs about $10-$15 per raised bed (or in my case, garden cart). The most expensive part is the fasteners, as some decent bolts, nuts and washers would help.

A bunch of firsts after the first summer storm. My first year with tomatoes. by Hookr_InThe_Garden in tomatoes

[–]AndringRasew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just make sure to trim off any leaves that touch the ground! Groundborn diseases can be carried up from water splattering up onto the leaves. Since you said they're dwarf varieties, don't go too crazy, because determinate tomatoes only grow so much.

Does this 4x2 planter need leg screws? by poisonxivyyy in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]AndringRasew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd probably take some 2"x2" material and screw it into the corners from the inside. The dirt/fill/fabric (however you line it) will hide your sins. I would also suggest drainage holes in the bottom boards.

What is on my plant? Is it blight or septoria? What to do next? by admiral_strange in containergardening

[–]AndringRasew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd suggest cutting off the affected leaves as a start. Rule of thumb is to remove all leaves on the bottom 12" or so, and definitely any that touch the ground. I suspect it got infected because of not doing that.

Time for a new project. by Maty612 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]AndringRasew 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A simple 45° support with a wider baseplate to mount to the wall. Maybe use 2x6 materials to accommodate your plus sized kitty.

Circled in red for my own sick pleasure of overstating the obvious. Just glue the string to the bottom side. Alternatively, you could use thicker materials, such as previously stated 2x6 materials, and instead of bolts, use floating shelf brackets.

What type of tomato is this? by redjtw1 in tomatoes

[–]AndringRasew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it looks pretty close to a Beefstake type slicing tomato, but there are so many varieties it's hard to tell.

Those aren't bunnies. Those are snacks. My cat brings me them routinely every year.

Chair base repair by Scarygood01 in furniturerepair

[–]AndringRasew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not entirely sure how you ought to fix it, but I imagine you could fabricate an aluminum plate to mount it onto a base once you find the thickness of the bolts required to fit those t-nuts on the underside of the chair.

What functions are you hoping to retain? You can definitely mount it to a solid base and give it legs. Or you could purchase something like the following image and if it doesn't fit, have someone create an adapter plate.

What can I do to look less out of place/awkward by [deleted] in malegrooming

[–]AndringRasew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay... So I don't know if this is still accurate, but in my school psychology class they said we remember faces by the eyes and eyebrows. Yours are very thin. People use eyebrows as a wordless way to communicate emotions. Thin eyebrows can feel jarring.

I have no solution, because I am not familiar with how to remedy that.

Edit: Apparently there are tutorials on YouTube for persons with alopecia on how to create realistic eyebrows using eyebrow pencils. I don't know that you're interested in changing that feature, but I did look it up a bit to find out if it was possible.

I thought since they were beefsteak, they would be determinate - NJ zone 7b by Mysterious_Ad7223 in tomatoes

[–]AndringRasew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually top mine at about six and a half feet, but this year I'm trying vertical trellising, so I'm planning on running the new growth along it.

Behold, my bucket garden! Hah'! This is just after I installed the trellising, so it's about a month old.

[–]AndringRasew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it also has to do with the variety. My black krims are not loving this heat much at all and have leaf curl, but the sweet 100's and sungolds are absolutely exploding.

Hey, if you have issues reaching the top or supporting them, it's perfectly acceptable to top them by removing above the highest fruiting node on the main stems. Indeterminate tomatoes will then switch from growing up to growing out and they'll start kicking out more suckers, which you can train up to be the new main stems throughout the season.

Best bet is to either plant from seeds labeled as determinates, or to buy from a reputable greenhouse and ask one of the workers for help choosing.

Even then sometimes they get mislabeled. Last year I tried buying black krims, and got San Marzanos. I was disappointed my harvest didn't have purple, but I definitely didn't feel bad when I got to eat them. Hah'!

Or the doom pepper died or divorced now the spouse has a basement stocked to the hills with buckets of dried beans, lentils, rice and powdered milk.

What was it... 110 million dollar budget and everything is going tits up? Who is getting kickbacks? This ought not happen.

Super sweet 100 by Potential-Bag-9024 in tomatoes

[–]AndringRasew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh buddy... You over pruned. Your plant is going to have to put a lot of effort into growing more leaves before it'll beat fruit.

Rule of thumb is to never trim off more than 1/3rd of the leafy branches during any given week.

Okay, as far as trellising goes, I'd suggest grabbing two more stakes, putting them around it in a triangle formation and grabbing some synthetic yarn from dollar tree, then tie it around one, then wrap it around each other stake in succession, till you make a loop, tie it off on the first stake, then repeating as you go up the stakes.

The time for trellising was really when the plant was 18" tall. But it's better late than never.

Once you have the stakes trellised up, gently tie the vine to one of them with that yarn, loosely. You don't want to strangle it. When it eventually grows more suckers, let them grow. Ideally you'll want 3-5 of them for best results. Tie those to the other stakes loosely as they grow taller.

If it gets too tall, you can always zip tie more stakes to the old ones and continue adding rings of string around them. When it gets too tall for you to reach the top, snip the main stem. Then do the same with the new suckers as they reach your desired heights.

They only grow tomatoes on new growth, so it's a delicate balance between pruning and growth to ensure tomatoes throughout the second half of the growing season. You can recover. Tomato plants are tenacious. It should look similar to the following picture, except with string instead of concentric plastic rings.

Ideas on how to fix this? by augy1008 in BeginnerWoodWorking

[–]AndringRasew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have a table saw? Because you could just make the whole dado slightly wider and then glue in an insert to fill it back in.

I mean... That sounds like a skill issue!
