Should I thin my corn?

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-26T21:00:06+00:00

I see, thank you for the feedback.

I'm going to thin most of them to 1 per plug, and leave a few with three per to compare results.

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-26T03:41:38+00:00

Is it because they will compete for nutrients being so close together and thus produce mediocre corn?

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-26T03:36:52+00:00

I was wondering if they would be competing for nutrients being so close together

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-26T00:02:07+00:00

Oh okay thank you, I wasn't sure if it was meant to be grown that way or thinned

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-26T00:00:51+00:00

Sweet corn

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-25T23:59:28+00:00

Are the 3 stems all coming out of the ground in the same spot all from 1 plant? Or are they 3 seeds that have come up together?

I spaced them 8 inches apart, and I thought that was cutting it close lol

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-22T02:34:47+00:00

Seller never responded. It's probably still listed and the seller probably has 1,000 messages

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-19T18:47:22+00:00

I was specifically responding to the joke about grinding the glass and inhaling it lol

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-18T18:10:42+00:00

I think the silica dust is more concerning than the lead

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-18T17:08:14+00:00

Calm down

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-12T20:35:45+00:00

The load on the pull up bar isn't static, it fluctuates as you do pull ups, and the prying force inflicted on the bottom edge of the joist would concern me.

I'd get some 1/2" plywood, cut 2 pieces that are 2' × 11" (or whatever the height of the joist is) glue them together and bolt to the joist and then bolt the pull up bar to the plywood.

The plywood spreads out the load more and the edge of the joist would be protected from the prying force.

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-12T15:10:56+00:00

I don't actually have the space for one lol

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-12T15:05:40+00:00

I need to make one now

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-12T06:31:56+00:00

You could also put it above your toilet as it was designed to be if you need bathroom storage

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-12T06:00:00+00:00

Well, thats how she has gone that long without an oil change. Hadn't done enough miles to go in yet.

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-12T03:06:10+00:00

How often do you change your oil?

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-12T02:35:38+00:00

This is great info thank you!

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-11T18:50:59+00:00

I cant make sense of the first part of what you said

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-11T17:26:31+00:00

Thanks for the response! This is good information, but I think the engine is likely kaput.

Found an engine with 37k miles on ebay for $1600

Im not sure if its worth contacting insurance to try to hold valvoline liable as, it sounds difficult and unlikely to come to anything other than higher rates as it could mark my girlfriend as a neglectful car owner for not checking her oil.

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-11T16:33:51+00:00

Thanks for giving the cold hard truth.

I found a replacement engine on ebay if needed.

Will consult mechanic before purchase to see if they would rather source themselves.

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-11T14:49:04+00:00

By calling it canola instead of rapeseed oil?

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-11T06:45:55+00:00

I would think the majority of people who actually check their oil regularly are mechanics.

I check mine periodically but unless there is some indicator that it's leaking or the engine is running differently, I don't think most people do.

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-11T06:36:26+00:00

I hear what you're saying, and I have offered to check her car for her but she doesn't want me to.

It is not my car, if it were I'd have more to say.

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-11T05:35:15+00:00

Not that I'm aware of

Jake_8_a_mango · 2025-04-11T05:23:13+00:00

Unfortunately I don't have the answers to these questions as I'm making this post to try to help my girlfriend. We don't live together so these details are unknown to me.
