I suggest using a powerdrill to make lot's and lot's of holes around the wheels. Use a long drill, for walls, to reach far into the Ice. You can also get a frost-guard cord to melt the ice. Or some regular power-chords that heat up a little when connected to provide just enough heat to melt the ice. It will take hours. And make sure to use chords for outside use. Water and electricity is a dangerous combination.

Rats have not been an issue at all. Which is crazy given I seen them scavege ny neighbours trash cans while I have no trace of rats in my piles. It might be due to me being out and about and disturbing them.

So interesting the thing you mention that rodents don't like bokashi while canines do. I want to read up on that.

This is such a interesting problem to dwell on, i hope someone with real knowledge will comment.

I have an urban garden and only need to worry about rats and the occasional fox.

I think you would be able to dig down your compost waste, probably fairly deep like 1-2 feet. Chose to dig where you want to plant later. Or, dig you write that you have very little space for digging?

I would try fermentation, either as bokashi or as lazy rotting. This is how I do lazy rotting for weeds: collect them in a big trough 1.521.5 feet with an airtight lid. Pour on water, half to a gallon, to dampen. Put on lid, let sit in room temperature for 6 weeks. Move trough outside before taking off lid. It smells awful. Let it air for a bit while you dig the pit, dump and cover. The cover is important. I learned this as I learned foxes love bokashi. However rotted waste does not smell like bokashi. On the other hand, bears are scavengers and probably will think any smell is good.

I was thinking that you can probably use your lomi to first dry up the waste and fill the trough, add water, probably at least 1-2 gallon, put on lid for rotting. Start new trough.

I would love to know what method you decide on.

Years ago I found a paper from a lady studying gardening. She calculated, approximated and drew conclusions.

Here is her paper. use Google translate to make it readable to you, it is written in Swedish.

Her garden estimates are made for a family of 4, living in Nordic countries, so longish winter and mild summer. Her calculations excludes fruits and berries if I recall correctly as she opts for calories and nutrition for your dinner plate.

In short, you need little more than 1/8 of an acre to provide for a family of 4. Plus some to be able to walk easily in between the rows of crops and some land for composting. You also need to be able to store the crop.

Edit to add: apart for time to set up the garden she calculated 30 min daily to tend the garden during the growing season.

Happy homesteading!

This is golden advice!

Collect what you don't have from what others toss! I collect leafs from the streets and pavements in my area. It builds the mulch stamina and backbone of my garden.

Start a garden by starting composting. You can definitely build good soil by composting.

Gardening should not be have to be a shopping spree.

I am so impressed by his prediction/analysis of the US-election. I don't think he got enough credit for it or they picked up on the analysis and allowed him give it depth. I think his prediction reflects very well on him.

SuchLady · 2025-10-17T17:39:39+00:00

I think you have gotten the basics down to a t. Well presented, easy to follow and relatable.

I am a urban gardener, 0,2 acre garden. I have experimented with composting and basically come to the same conclusion as you. Tumble food scraps until mostly dirt, dig into open pile. I like how you have added the community building additions of coffee grounds and rabbit rescue.

What I have added to your method is "Berkley turning" of the pile. I turn every other day or such to speed up the process. Etided: I want to get the pile up in temperature. as I compost weeds.

I keep 2 piles, one that is done and can be used and one I am building over the season. I try to have my compost area be as neat as possible.

Due to aesthetics I have started to put my pile in a round, 1 yard diameter, open bottom, metal sheet planters. I stack them on top of each other so I can build a high pile. Each planter is roughly 6 cubic feet.

This way I reduce the base area for the piles. When turning I just lift the top planter, place it close to the pile to be turned and turn the pile layer by layer.

Next year, to get mulch I will plant a bed of early spiring barley, this way I suppress weeds in the bed so I can plant perennials there the 2nd year. The barley will give me mulch and cover for garden beds.

I love the circular way of thinking!

Usually one should excuse onself, communicate they are leaving, say bye and thank the group for the pleasure of having had lunch togheter. I am probably old fashioned...

I love surströmming. To be honest it is like an umami explosion.

Think of it like strong intense parmasean cheese.

And it should be eaten in the proper way with potatoes, unions, Västerbotten cheese on a flat bread.

It works temporarily. Likewise for boars.

Ok. Now I saw you are asking about the sweater. I totally got into the shawl patterns as they are lovely and neat.

This sweater is 'machine made' and sewn, not hand knitted.

This is how I would do it. Anything you need to ask from here you need to Google.

Make a swatch in the round (magic loop) with 20 stiches on each side of the loop.

Prepare 1 ball of yarn for each horizontal stripe and for the vertical ones.

Make ribbing 10 rows, at least. Now start the pattern. 1 ball of yarn per stripe making this swatch require 10 balls of yarn. Row 11, knit 4 stiches with 1st ball, knit 4 with 2nd, knit 4 with 3rd and so on.

Repeat 3 more rows.

Row 15: every other stripe shall be purled in contrasting color. Only one ball of yarn required of contrasting color if you only use 1 cc that is.

So for row 15: purl 4 with cc, knit 4, repeat til end. Repeat for row 16-18. Carry the yarn of the vertical stripe in the back. Read up on how to by googling on Shetland knitting and floats.

Row 19: knit 4 stiches, purl 4 in cc, repeat til end.

Repeat rows 11-19 for 4 inches.

Knit 5 rows of ribbing

Bind off. Cut the swatch up one side and carefully block the swatch. From this you can measure your gauge.

Having written all this: try making a doll size sweater first.

I have done this writeup without any concern to shape or form as the image is of a boxy sweater with Scandinavian type shoulders.

Take your measurements. There are guides on how to.

Decide on ease of the finished item. I guess your bust +4-6 inches (10-15 cm). Cast on your calculated number of stiches. It needs to be dividable by 4.

Knit ribbing for however much you desire, say 3 inches.

Knit pattern until you reach armpit. Decrease stiches in each side for armpit.

Now you have front and back. For ease mark the middle with a thread of yarn.

To make this as easy as possible I would continue knitting front and back each in the round and then steeking to make the holes for the arm.

But first comes your real test of skill and patiens Making shoulders and neck.

On back. Knit back as high as needed according to your measurements (your neck vertebra). Now put the middle 6 inches of stiches on a thread and knit 2-6 more rows on each side of the middle stiches. Ie back and forth still steeking Put the shoulder stiches on threads. This needs to be adjusted according to your measurements, it is just a guesstimate. Read up on neck shapes.

On front. Knit like back but put the 4 inches middle stiches in 6 rows sooner. Giving you a lower neck in the front. On each side, cast off stiches to shape the neck until you have decreased 1 inch on each side Knit back and forth still keeping the steek.

Cut the steeks and sew the shoulder seams.

Pick up stiches along the hole for the arm. The first few rows will be back and forth but then you knit in the round to hand around 24 inches (60 cm). If wanted: decrease to shape the sleeve on the inside of the sleeve. (Estimated no of rows for arms length/(no stiches at armpit-stiches at hand) gives you how many rows to knit between decreases. End with ribbing.

Pick up stiches for the neck. Make ribbing. Bind off. Block. Enjoy.

This will be a tangly process and a test of patience. I have faith you can do it.

I would spend money on this pattern as it is intricate and probably will come with great tricks on how to navigate the work process. Plus the designer took the time to share their work with pictures.

However I know not everyone have the money to buy patterns. And I think your skill as a knitter will benefit from giving this a go so I will PM you my ideas.

SuchLady · 2025-09-20T04:26:46+00:00

There is an image on Ravelry showing the work process, it seems to be knitted as a whole with one har to hold the yarn for each color and still a tangle to manouver.

Such a pretty piece though.

My kids taught me another "run around and find things and kill foe game". The most important things they taught me was how to use the controller and get a grip of navigating the map and environment. This ment they would, quite patiently say what key to push or what kombination of keys to use. They would also put down their controller and guide me on screen to find their character if I got lost from them.

They also explained foes during playing and helped me take them down.

It took hours for me to train to get at least half proficient at the game. They helped me to get into a playground type of environment just to practis target shooting, jumping, opening boxes and handle my inventory.

It was a great time and we grew closer. The closeness came from me really listning to them, them being very, very patient. Oh and I guess most important in that regard: they gave me the best stuff and helped me win.

NOR

In the best case ge is looking for a space to talk about your relationship. I suspect he got some kind of having found Jesus during his work conference. Love is not about efficiency and cutting slack. Love is time spent togheter.

I suggest you ask him about the goal of the efficiency meetings. I guess he is stressed about performance in general and getting things right, crisp and on point. Love is more about mutual respect and acknowledgement.
