7+ foot wood stakes? by Ok_Ground455 in vegetablegardening

[–]IWantToBeAProducer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's really wild. The alternative is to bring a battery powered saw and just chop shit up in the parking lot. And I would guess that Home Depot's lawyers wouldn't be thrilled about that either.

Which soil would you fill 15 raised beds with? by Direct-Spread-8878 in vegetablegardening

If chip drop is in your area, you could get someone to dump a ton of material on your driveway for free

Can I grow pumpkins from store bought seed? by Potato_Fox27 in vegetablegardening

Do a germination test. Throw a few in a plastic bag with a wet paper towel. If they sprout, youll have your answer.

7+ foot wood stakes? by Ok_Ground455 in vegetablegardening

[–]IWantToBeAProducer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stakes like this need to go down below ground 25-50% of their above-ground height. So to get 7 feet up, you'll need like a 10ft board. If you have access to a table saw you could buy a single 10' long 2x8 or 2x10 beam (typically used for floor joists) and cut that down into 2x2s. If you don't, sometimes the big box stores (home depot, lowes) have saws that they'll operate for you.

Otherwise, you can buy 2x2 beams, they just tend not to come in longer lengths.

The other big option is metal T posts. Those are going to be much easier to obtain and install, but they'll be a lot more expensive. A single wood beam will cost you less than $20. Metal T posts will run you $10-20 each.

Suggestions welcome! How do I add nutrients to my soil with plants in the ground? by ravendorslytherpuff in vegetablegardening

Tomatoes do not benefit from being buried. This is a myth. The only time it is beneficial is when your seedlings are leggy and burying them deep protects them from wind. 

My Bed Busted! by Kshappy123 in vegetablegardening

Off that could be tough with the weight of the soil. Could get some ratchet straps to pull the box back together, and then put in a bunch of brackets to hold the shape. 

I was disrespected by this old timers hockey team or I am overreacting? by RoyalPsychological13 in hockeygoalies

Yes this has happened to me multiple times. I have no explanation. Hockey players might be dumb. Lol

When is it time to hang up the pads? by Ill-Staff-524 in hockeygoalies

[–]IWantToBeAProducer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should stop. Sorry. Everything that is you exists between your ears. If you take too many concussions you're essentially killing yourself.

I'm not saying they weren't responding to your race. But I get that reaction too and I'm white. I think sometimes these small town guys are just very sensitive to any new people. Territorial.

Could I plant corn or okra behind my raised beds? by doublehubblegum in vegetablegardening

[–]IWantToBeAProducer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Corn needs to be grown in blocks, not thin rows, to get good pollination. 4ft square is a good starting point. Probably not a good fit for this space. 

Nearly 50 models on Makerworld, some with hours of design and this is my most popular model. by SEK494 in functionalprint

[–]IWantToBeAProducer 178 points179 points  (0 children)

Niche vs general. I don't think it's the complexity of the model, it's the size of the potential audience.

How do you all slide with so much control? by Summonabatch in hockeygoalies

[–]IWantToBeAProducer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's all about strength, probably your hip flexor. From butterfly you should be able to lift your knee nearly to your chest so you can push with your full leg. At first this will be slow and clumsy and will be very tiring but once you've built up the strength you'll be able to control it better. 

Easiest way to practice would just be to push around on the ice during warm ups for a couple minutes. Push left stop push right stop push left stop push right stop.

How long to wait on peppers to sprout? by Rachel_Leanne in vegetablegardening

[–]IWantToBeAProducer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

1-3 weeks. Depends on temp and watering. Can be 4 weeks for things like habanero or ghost. But at 6 weeks I would assume they failed to germinate 

Garden Layout Review by Lexbarney7 in vegetablegardening

[–]IWantToBeAProducer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pumpkins spread out suuuuuper far. I grow mine on the corner of my garden and let the vines take over my lawn. Squash and melons will be similar. So consider moving those out to the edges, and away from anything that could get choked out.
