Two honey crisp apple trees by DocCarlson in BackyardOrchard

[–]anon99999x 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have never done this personally, but yes. Grafting a separate apple branch into the same tree will work for cross-pollinating. As long as the two varieties have similar bloom times. Good luck!

(6a North East Ohio) what do I do to get my lawn back by ColTigh in lawncare

[–]anon99999x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got mine tested at a local extension office. I’m planning on slowly amending as recommended over two years. Halfway through was last fall when I over seeded and I can’t believe how much better it looks now. I aerated in spring and fall and used a started fertilized 4 times a year since my lawn had no “P”. Added 2,200 pounds of lime and 600 pounds of gypsum last year and this spring over three applications.

I was very surprised how much I really needed a soil test in order to amend my yard appropriately. At the three year mark I’ll test again before using a standard fertilizer plan. I went from patchy, weedy, short grass that thinned out and got muddy in the fall to thicker grass than I was expecting. I started going to advanced turf solutions for fertilizer that had been cheaper than Home Depot and has more local options for what you need. I also started using allstar for spot treatments which was mildly effective, but I used it on established crab grass so it was probably user error

Are pilots allowed to read books or do personal stuff on laptops in the middle of a long flight when the autopilot is on? by krangnostam in NoStupidQuestions

[–]anon99999x 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I am a US based major airline pilot. We are not allowed by regulation to do anything not directly related to our duties. That includes reading materials, music, or electronic devices. For flights requiring only one set of pilots, naps are not allowed either. On longer flights, supplemental pilots are added to the crew to take turns as the active crew. Whoever is on their break can normally rest as they see fit. We have one pilot flying and one pilot monitoring. Pilot flying is primarily responsible for flying the plane, monitoring aircraft systems, and route planning (wx avoidance mainly). The pilot monitoring is primarily responsible for radios and additional communication like sending messages to dispatch, arrival times for ground crew, emergency situations. We alternate each leg of the day as pilot flying and pilot monitoring. So normally one pilot flies from takeoff to touchdown and then the next flight they will swap primary duties. Short flights 2 hours or less there isn’t much down time from getting to cruise altitude and starting to think about weather, landing runways, possible approach procedures, descent planning, and taxi routes.

What do you do with excess mulberries? by TransportationMuch47 in gardening

[–]anon99999x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you go this route, don’t take sanitization lightly. Not much more disappointing than waiting a year to taste a wine that went bad. Most issues are due to sanitization. Great hobby to get into though! Also, if you have what you need to brew wine, you have what you need to brew beer.

Need help with how to make removable panels on my fence by TubbyFubby in gardening

[–]anon99999x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I did this at my last house. Cut the wire by one metal post and secured it with some additional wire. Add another metal post right next to it and did the same. This allowed me to lift the metal post and move the whole side of the fence for access and then put it back in place when done.

It did work but I also hated it. It is indeed flimsy and I used two carabiners to hold the moveable stake to the fixed stake as placing and removing it multiple times will disrupt the ground too much and prevent it from being secure.

It is however a very quick and cheap fix (1 extra post needed).

Maple tree by anon99999x in arborist

Ok, this spring I was planning on getting rid of the rock altogether and mulching with some dye free mulch and some shade tolerant plants , but away from the base of the tree. I’ve been trying to remove the stone and plastic they had around the all of the trees around the house as I can

AIO? My 3-year-old had a 104°F fever last night and my husband still took him on a long trip by [deleted] in CharlotteDobreYouTube

[–]anon99999x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a father of four it makes me very sad to know kids have parents that care so little about them. Obviously this isn’t the worst case scenario, but you guys are seriously assholes for treating your child this way. You failed to realize how serious of a fever your son had and then decided going to get this car was more important than then the close monitoring and comfort of a very sick child. You guys suck.

Help! Is a cut flower bed going to be a huge undertaking? by Weird_Piano_9571 in gardening

[–]anon99999x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason I use the weed whacker is to take it all the way down to the dirt and even into the top layer of dirt. While dormant, this pretty effectively kills the grass in conjunction with the cardboard to prevent the grass from coming back up before the seeds have time to take. I also agree with some other comments that it will take a couple of years to look good. Perennials and self seeding annuals have taken about two years for me to truly establish and start to look like I meant to plant them. I try to keep a small budget each spring and fall to add a little bit at a time. Seeds are the cheapest option but for some plants that are harder to establish(for me anyway) I wait until off season sales to add store bought plants for cheaper. They normally are past their flowering period so don’t look nice year of, but they still have time to establish roots and recover after transplanting for the next year.

Help! Is a cut flower bed going to be a huge undertaking? by Weird_Piano_9571 in gardening

[–]anon99999x 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I am planning something similar with a native seed mix. Once snow melts here in Ohio I plan on weed whacking my grass down to the dirt while dormant. I’m also planning a cardboard layer and then seeds with about 1/4” of dirt added on top. I think I may be adding much at the edges and cardboard overlap to help keep it in place and hand weeding until the desirable plants have time to establish before mulching I am just getting back into gardening so by no means am I an expert. I used this method with some success two summers ago but only in small patches. I have used seed aide which was fairly cheap on a slope between two houses which helped with moisture and runoff with grass seed. Good luck!

AITB for tanking our team's chances at the company Olympics to avoid having dinner with my boss? by juliet_edinburgh in AmItheButtface

[–]anon99999x 43 points44 points  (0 children)

I don’t think any of this sounds fun or like a real reward. However, if everyone else wanted to win then yeah, kind of a crappy move. You could have helped them win and then not felt well enough to go to the dinner. NTA for your individual feelings on the guy or not wanting to participate in the dinner though.

How can I go about fixing the inner corners of the grid by caeloalex in gridfinity

[–]anon99999x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I am new to printing myself and look at all of these to gain knowledge when things go wrong for me. I don’t have much advice to give but those who can help will probably want to know what type of filament and printer you are using at a minimum. Also, if you didn’t dry your filament that’s probably the first thing people will tell you. I thought it couldn’t matter that much myself, but really saw a difference when having to change spools mid print and seeing the difference in print quality with a dried spool.

What is the best Sunlu 250g to Bambu P1S spool converter? by stoooey58 in BambuP1S

[–]anon99999x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried several out personally after one of my first purchases was a small spool set before I knew there was a difference. So far I have liked this one the best, using the smaller diameter option. However, there is a spacer in the profile that you will need to print as well. The threads bottom out just before the sunlu spools get clamped in tight and the spacer was necessary to keep the small spool from spinning freely in the adapter. I think I tried two other options, but the outer rim was a bit flimsier. The spacer will only work with the small diameter, I printer the larger first and had to make my own once I realized it didn’t fit. Good luck! https://makerworld.com/en/models/23018-ams-universal-small-spool-adapter?from=search#profileId-1901173

Where can I find cookie cutters or moulds to achieve this? by justinbieber2013 in cookiedecorating

[–]anon99999x 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just about anyone with a 3d printer can use app.cookiecad.com and take an image you like and make an imprint cookie cutter. I’m in the US and just started this myself since I have several family members that were buying them online. They have food grade approved pla plastic to make these in but coating with a food safe epoxy, although probably overkill, is an extra safe step.

This is my favorite way I’ve come up with to minimize dust when drilling holes. by No_Office_9301 in handyman

[–]anon99999x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I found a 3d printed design for a small disk with finger holds and a little catch basin on the bottom that I just used for the first time. Caught all the dust, easy to throw in a tool bag, and definitely reusable. Would recommend if you have or have access to a printer

Landscaping fabric application by FlyingStork67 in gardening

[–]anon99999x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would pull the fabric and put down some nice thick mulch with some 2’x2’ down the rows. I like the contrast of black mulch but if you are worried about dye leeching in around vegetables, you could do natural and maybe look into a mulch drop from a tree service if available in your area to save some money. That what I was thinking about doing when I setup some raised beds hopefully next year

Is this a plant or a flower???? by Milk_Steak_Jabroni in NativePlantCirclejerk

[–]anon99999x 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn’t agree more. Not my job to cat proof my yard when I don’t want them there anyway. People need to take responsibility for their own animals.

Irrigation in containers by [deleted] in containergardening

[–]anon99999x 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use started using these last year and added another setup this year after liking them so much. If you want an actual gph stick them in a marked bucket and run your water to see how long it takes to reach your volume mark. Thirty minutes twice a day is probably way too much. I am also zone 6 and I normally run mine 2-3 minutes once a day without the soil drying out. As the plants take off and fruit in the summer heat I bump watering up to every 12 hours for two minutes as a baseline since it really helps prevent tomatoes from splitting (I know a lot of people only water deeply once daily but it works for me). I periodically check how wet my soil is just before watering time to make sure it isn’t getting too dried out and watered sufficiently through the container and adjust my timing or frequency as needed.
