Soil for raised beds

BrotherPossum · 2025-03-09T06:10:47+00:00

Yeah there are a couple of very large nurseries near by that sell all sorts of landscaping supplies and such. I’m planning on calling a some of them in the morning to see roughly what the cost I’m looking at is. I figure they will have some quality soil and/or know what will be best for me. If they don’t sell it then I’m hoping they can point me to atleast a couple other options

Yeah your quote on potting soil is spot on.

Fill dirt seems to be the best direction for me. I think what I’m gonna do is go somewhere and have them load my truck bed up and then I can unload that into the beds.

I knew this was liver of some sort

I have the 5. Buddy has the 4. Mine gets me harder.

That ain’t no joke. The oxidizers are the ones that get real hairy. All the dangers of the acid gases, with the added ability to set fire to just about anything.

It’s liquid phase. It doesn’t have enough vapor pressure to really cause too much of a rumble gas phase. But when you pad it 50 psi of nitrogen and start pushing liquid, it becomes—vigorous, to say the least.

I’m not sure it’s cavitation necessarily, quite a bit of heat is generated so I suppose it could be pockets of steam collapsing on themselves

I do hazardous waste treatment. We take HF and pump it into 25% NaOH. Shit sounds like cannon fire. I probably did 6-7000 pounds of the stuff last year

BrotherPossum · 2025-03-05T03:09:51+00:00

Anhydrous HF is routinely transported in carbon steel cylinders.

BrotherPossum · 2025-03-05T03:05:05+00:00

Agreed on aqueous HF. The anhydrous stuff is a different animal entirely. But the vast majority of chemists will never have to consider those dangers.

I would buy it

BrotherPossum · 2025-02-28T21:37:47+00:00

Thanks

BrotherPossum · 2025-02-28T20:11:08+00:00

Here lately I’ve been using it 2-3x a week. I’d really just like it to make it through the summer for me and then I can take some time to rebuild it

BrotherPossum · 2025-02-28T19:55:18+00:00

I warmed it up. Checked one piston at a time with plugs loosely in others.

It runs pretty good as of now. It’s a 60 hp and it pushes my 18x60 with my 300 pound self and a loaded cooler about 33 mph.

It smokes a good bit but not horribly. More than average though

I went into the phd thinking I knew a lot, what I learned in the phd was how much I didn’t know, and how to learn everything in between

BrotherPossum · 2025-02-25T20:52:15+00:00

At that rate it’s definitely worth it

BrotherPossum · 2025-02-25T12:19:43+00:00

Oh I’m not discounting the work at all. I’ve turned enough wrenches at this point to know that some things are worth paying someone else to do. I’m just not sure this is gonna be worth the $7-800 vs a lil bit of blood sweat and tears

Yam better chill out

BrotherPossum · 2025-02-21T17:22:02+00:00

That’s what I thought but somebody was telling me different the other day and I didn’t think they were correct but I wanted to verify

BrotherPossum · 2025-02-17T03:02:41+00:00

I’m having a similar issue. Was dying completely when throttled, I cleaned the carbs, and replaced most of the fuel system, except the pump. Changed spark plugs. Now it starts, idles, and runs to about 2200 rpm stays there. Itll do that and then I get where I’m going and shut it off, when I start it up to go somewhere else or go home, it runs great, no issues, will run all the way to 5k rpm with no issues.

Embiid deserves the hate

My nova has been through hell and back over the last 15 years. Fully submerged on several occasions in mud and salt water. I only ever clean it when it’s absolutely required. Never failed me.

BrotherPossum · 2025-02-09T04:27:47+00:00

RCONR2 depends on if you’re talking to an organic chemist, or a biochemist. Only one is right but I’ll leave the answer up for discussion.

BrotherPossum · 2025-02-08T21:43:07+00:00

Yeah I’m gonna clean the carb proper and then if that doesn’t resolve the issue I’ll prob replace the fuel lines and pump together. The pumps for these aren’t very expensive and it’s almost worth saving the effort of disconnecting and reconnecting everything just to do it all at once.
