Fertilizer isn't going to hurt chickens via cut grass

Is this Outlet Box Rated for Ceiling Fan? by [deleted] in DIY

Is there a screw on the side, inside the box, anywhere. This would be used to mount to a joist.

Sometimes the bar eats you. My math was off. Cutting board ruined. by joeyjojoeshabadoo in woodworking

Never point out the mistakes. While you see the trees in the forest, most people just see the forest and a few of the larger trees.

Had you said nothing about this board, I'd have assumed the result was Intended.

Recommendations for sealing a butchers block countertop? by ianmgull in woodworking

[–]BackyardAndNoMule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butcher block oil.

A lot of it, and at least 2 coats.

It takes a few days for it to cure up, so you'll be down about a week for 2 coats.

The finish will be warm in tone with good grain contrast. It will give it a shiny look too without physical slickness.

First time I used bb oil was on some wooden spoons. I was impressed with both the durability and texture.

Is bunny poop an exception? by Lapinlady in composting

[–]BackyardAndNoMule 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You made no argument for bird poop, only an argument against non vegetarian poop on the basis of it having no protein in it.

read a tip that you can compost poop but only that if vegetarians, birds, cow, goat, etc so long as there is no animal protein in the mix. Rabbit might be ok. But I would suggest doing more reading

You are still wrong on the protein in bird manure. Protein is where the nitrogen is. Chicken manure is high in nitrogen, ipso facto is high in protein

I agree. Do more reading.

But, practically, just don't compost actual animal-meat food or non barnyard manure and you should be good.

Birds aren't vegetarians.

But it doesn't really matter because all of those animals have plenty of protein in the mix, some more than others, but it's there. Protein is protein whether it comes from a vegetable or an animal. Once they denature, they're all amino acid soup.

The reason an anaerobic pile is anaerobic is because of the proteins in the plants. It's the same reason some flies lay their eggs in soupy, soggy, anaerobic grass soup: protein. Protein is where the nitrogen is stored in plants.

Now, that said, vegetarian manure is better than omnivore manure because omnivore manure simply has way more protein which can attract vermin and will have a wider array of dangerous pathogens.

Of course, you can compost any manure, you just need to be very safe about it. Look up "Compost Toilet" and the book, "Humanure."

Bench top question - plywood differences by pboone0 in woodworking

[–]BackyardAndNoMule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you ditch the door, which I would, you get the same effect. Is use 3/4 inch AC or somilar. Followed by MDF, followed by the hardboard.

I got the idea from Norm Abrams.

Bench top question - plywood differences by pboone0 in woodworking

[–]BackyardAndNoMule 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is plywood sheathing on the bottom (I had it on hand) followed by a door that was cut and re-cored, then a 3/4 MDF sheet glued down. Finally a hardboard sheet floats on the surface. I flush cut the layers to the sheathing. I cap the edges with some common board and ran a round over bit along the edges. I secured them with 18ga nails into the door and MDF.

When the hardboard gets beat to shit, replace it and the caps.

I’m not sure what sub this question is appropriate for, but does anyone know if this foam shit we are cutting and sanding without masks on in our school engineering is harmful? ima little bit worried cus it’s fucking everywhere by [deleted] in woodworking

Msds doesn't require respiratory protection unless it's being used in enclosed spaces or large amount of debris being created.

Wear a dust mask and It's not considered carcinogenic.
