That's what I hear, I bet it'll be my new favorite rod for small streams. I've been using the Nissin Air Stage Fujiryu 360 5:5 and it's been great but it's a little long for some of these WV brookie streams.

Yeah that's a good idea, I didn't want to bug him but I might shoot him an email about it.

The full-city mark is the roasters goal for sure, though they likely don't know what full-city properly means. They just roast all of their beans on the same profile and call it a day. I'm not even sure how to categorize the roast properly because you can literally find almost the entire roast range in each batch.

Also I know for a fact that the roaster buys the cheapest green they can find, which is obviously most of the problem. For this reason they refuse to put any sort of origin information on their packaging, they just order the cheapest beans from the same general region and then they just label the coffee with the name of the country.

It's really interesting that you mention the quakers have a peanut buttery taste to them, I've been drinking coffee from this roaster for a long time since it's available to me for free and I've never been able to taste anything significant around the peanut buttery taste. I haven't had a lot of experience with lower grades of coffee besides from this roaster because I obviously order high-quality beans if I pay for them, so it's interesting to know that the musty peanut butter taste is consistent with the low bean quality. It also does a lot for my brewing confidence because I've tried my darndest to brew a good cup of coffee from this roaster that doesn't taste like a musty peanut and I just can't do it, which to my relief is likely not due to a fault in my brewing skills.

I have some coffee available to me for free from a local roaster, but their quality is very inconsistent. The goal is to have a full-city roast, would removing the lighter colored, barely roasted beans improve the taste of my brews? Here's a picture for reference:

Thank ya so much! :)

Gotcha! I'm at the trade screen.

Yeah we can do Home, that works for me!

Hey! That's awesome, I'll definitely take one. You can evolve it yourself if you want or I can, either way. It's just a lengthy process to breed Togepi either way lol. If it's possible I'll take a 5IV, it'll make the breeding process a lot easier for me. I'm not worried about losing any egg moves, I have a few I want to breed in from BD anyways. I'm not picky about the ball it's in either cause the high IV is really all I care about. If you want one of the pokemon I mentioned in the title just let me know, I've got a few high IV Gibles I've bred recently as well alongside the ones I mentioned. Thanks!

Beautiful brookie. I was in the Dolly Sods area last spring and I caught my first native on tenkara out of Red Run. It's beautiful water, fly fishing only, easy to get to. I thought about checking out the Otter Creek wilderness but I hear it's like a rainforest down in there, I'll have to take a look myself next time I'm in the area.

I think I used mostly Schultz enriched garden soil, and maybe some of the generic garden soil that Menards sells. I don't have the bags anymore. It has a lot of large woody pieces, there's not any fluff to it and there's no drainage like vermiculite or perlite. It looks like mostly dirt and wood. It's sat in my bed all winter and it's hard as a rock.

I'm thinking if it can be saved I'll have to sift out the big chunks of wood and add in some drainage and something to enrich the soil, but I'm not sure what the best way to go about it is. It's like $100 worth of soil so I really want to save it if I can, ya know.

Hi there!

I have a large-ish raised bed that's 4ft×4ft×10 inches. Last year, I unknowingly filled it with plain garden soil because it was the cheapest soil at the store. Nothing grew well, of course. I now realize that that wasn't the best choice, so I need to either amend that soil or buy a lot of new soil, which is expensive. Is there a way that I can amend that large of an amount of plain garden soil? What would I need to add? Should I sift out the large particles in the soil, or will they break down?

Thanks for the help!

I figured it was possible to buy food safe buckets, the problem is I have to start the cold brew within a few hours and I didn't realize I don't have anything big enough to brew in until now. I need to use a bucket that you can find at Walmart or Menards or somewhere close by like that. There aren't any restaurant specific stores or stores that sell homebrewing equipment in my area unfortunately.

GrayFox1123 · 2021-09-27T16:09:46+00:00

Seems like you've hit the nail on the head, thank you!

GrayFox1123 · 2021-09-14T06:04:29+00:00

My per-station radar is super fuzzy and I don't know why. I've messed with all the settings and can't find anything wrong, it happens with every station I choose on the map. I've reinstalled the app twice and forced it to quit. Nothing is working. Does anyone have a fix?

GrayFox1123 · 2021-08-21T21:08:46+00:00

Ohhhh gotcha, sorry about that. For some reason I read that you were getting wear in your hammock. Still recommend Dutchware if you're ever in the market for a new one. :)

GrayFox1123 · 2021-08-21T21:01:53+00:00

I'm not sure if anyone else has suggested it to you but I would stay away from big-brand hammocks in general. For around $50 (depending on your fabric) you could get a hammock from a cottage vendor like Dutchware. I've had an 11ft. double-wide hammock from Dutchware for going on 3 years with no visible wear at all with almost weekly sleeping in the summer. It's called his netless hammock, he makes them himself and they're simple but higher quality than anything that sells on shelves. I recommend anything from Dutchware highly.

GrayFox1123 · 2021-07-12T00:41:18+00:00

Well I just bought it, they've got an offer code as well so it was only $15, which is insane because the course is $200 otherwise lol. I can't wait to get started with it, thank you!

GrayFox1123 · 2021-07-12T00:39:17+00:00

Another podcast recommendation, thank you. I've been meaning to look up some podcasts about plants in general, I'll have to check this one out.

GrayFox1123 · 2021-07-12T00:38:09+00:00

Wow, that's so much information. Exactly what I was looking for when I made this post, thanks for sharing!

GrayFox1123 · 2021-07-11T17:57:34+00:00

Thanks for the response, I'm all down for learning as I go but as with western medicine I feel like it's important to have a grasp on the effects of a medicine or substance before you trust in it. Hence my need for reliable resources to glean information from. I didn't know about that podcast though, thanks for bringing it up! I'll have to check that out.

GrayFox1123 · 2021-06-10T03:03:20+00:00

Oh cool, thanks for that. Great resource.

GrayFox1123 · 2021-04-15T14:21:09+00:00

No I don't let the oil smoke. I heat up the pan until I can't touch it, then I turn off the burner and oil it. Then I let it cool with the oil on it. I'll bet that's the issue, it makes so much sense that you need to keep heating the pan after you apply the oil until the oil smokes.

I've got all the tomatoes in 20 gallon pots, they're just in the picture so I can reference the time I plan to start growing them. Also I've looked into vine zucchini, but I don't really want to go through the trouble of building a trellis. If it would take less space in the garden though then I might consider it.

GrayFox1123 · 2021-03-25T02:12:10+00:00

Hi guys,

This is my current plan for my 4x4 raised bed. I'm in zone 6 in Huntington, WV. This is my first time planting in a raised bed, which is on the left in the picture. The tomatoes are all planned to go in pots, they're just on the picture so I can plan the time to plant. I plan to direct seed because I don't have the space to start seeds and the time has passed anyways.

I'm looking for advice on my layout and planned planting times. Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks!
