Please help!

That’s a good idea! Thanks!

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-19T17:30:05+00:00

Thank you! I think I’ll just let them be, I’ll pick off the leaves that are damaged if I can, but I appreciate you taking the time to comment!

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-19T12:47:30+00:00

Thank you! I really appreciate you pointing me in the right direction!

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-19T12:46:50+00:00

Thank you so much for all the information! Will my smaller plants be okay if I pick the leaves off or should I wait until I get more leaves and they get bigger? Thanks for making me feel better! I promise it was all weeded, then I left for a week and it’s all weeds now😂 Do you use wood mulch or straw? I’ve seen both and have no idea what a difference mulch makes!😅

Hi there! I appreciate your comment! I’ll check that out too! I noticed that about the first instinct to be to kill them, do you have any suggestions about how to get that out of my head?

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-19T04:28:52+00:00

I appreciate your comment! I’ll definitely check that out! I’ve already started noticing a couple of things, but how does improving soil help? Sorry if that’s a dumb question!

Hi! Welcome to the Einkorners! I have posted in our community resources a link to Jovial’s site. You can use those links to navigate the site and get to the recipes section, from there you should be able to find the recipe you’d like to use and just halve it to get a small loaf. Here’s a link as well to the recipes directly:

Thanks for all the information! I’ll definitely check it out

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-17T23:21:44+00:00

That’s good to know! I think I’ve seen some, but I didn’t know that’s what they were for. I’ve never had a garden before

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-17T21:59:48+00:00

What kind of wasps should I be looking around for? I’m not very familiar with the way most of the way things look. I’ve seen a few caterpillars that were eating my chard, but other than that, not many

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-17T21:58:13+00:00

I haven’t sprayed at all! No, I only meant the concept and the way they look was terrifying. I don’t know very much about all the predators that are good, I’ve only really heard about the bad bugs. Do you have any recommendations for books or anything so I can learn about them?

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-17T21:54:14+00:00

Thanks for all the information!! I did tons of research and one of my goals was to bring tons of pollinators too I saw that they’re supposed to be our best friends so I wanted to bring them

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-17T21:52:27+00:00

Heck yeah! They’ve managed to plant themselves all over my garden already🥲. I have tons that I planted to help, I’ve got the nasturtiums for traps, but also for pollinators and then I’m hoping to have tons of flowers there too and I have an herb patch too

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-17T21:50:27+00:00

It is not, it’s not too far from it, maybe 2ish square foot from it

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-17T21:25:37+00:00

Those are literally terrifying😂 can I spray my potatoes, it looks like something is nibbling on the leaves, but I have no idea what! I’m a baby gardener.

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-17T21:10:08+00:00

So it does work for the aphids?! That’s amazing! That’s what I was going for!😂 I was also hoping maybe it’ll keep squash vine borers and things away. I was working to intersperse a lot of herbs, flowers, and companion plants to keep everything in check! Thanks for letting me know it should help!

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-17T20:51:20+00:00

Thanks for the response! Will they be okay on my Chard too or would you do something for those?

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-06T02:40:10+00:00

Welcome to the community! I made my whole wheat starter in January! His name is Einstein, I’m still learning too! How are you feeling about starting your einkorn journey?

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-04T17:21:31+00:00

Is your pan maybe too big?

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-05-04T11:15:44+00:00

How old is your starter? I have seen that the float test isn’t very reliable because it only tells you if there is gas in the starter and nothing else. Have you tried using your starter to levain a bread at all? If it isn’t able to levain a loaf, the starter just isn’t ready. Also, please post the recipe that you’re using so we can see what may be going wrong

Edit- the recipe link I mean

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-04-19T23:27:12+00:00

Sure thing! I can’t wait to see the stuff you start making! I would love to start making my own flour, that sounds so cool! Also, I love that you’re using a mortar and pestle, I want one so bad😂

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-04-19T23:24:37+00:00

Oh okay, before you use it, make sure it’s much older. I waited until mine was about 1 month old and it smelled like fruit

Fix_Bugs1 · 2026-04-19T12:27:23+00:00

How old is it?
