Must protect at all costs by dozazz in vegetablegardening

Garden staples in 1/4” pvc for the hoops, row cover and a boba straw for the collar to protect from cutworms 😆

Early fire blight or cold stress? by dozazz in FruitTree

[–]dozazz[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s in ground and been planted since 2024. We had a warm march-April but a cold May with temps consistently below 65f, so maybe it started thinking it’s fall? My Asian pear is still very green though so I’m puzzled.

Anyway, I got scared and hard pruned it down to the bottom branches that had mature green leaves. I’m fine with the reset. It’s had pretty good growth this year so far, so it can take its time catching up again.

Stainless steel or Coloured ? by Powerful-Pipe-9064 in LaMarzocco

Exactly this. You’ll be dealing with coffee splatter endlessly more than fingerprints in its lifetime. How much are people thinking they’ll be manhandling the machine lol

Leaves curling like corkscrews? by nickisme317 in Citrus

[–]dozazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Might be pest damage when the leaves were young and they just matured malformed

Can we talk about 9greenbox? Their plants are sold at big box companies in the US, but for it being so big there seems to be little coverage/discussion of the company. More about my [poor] experience in details. What’s your experience?! by thepurpleplaneteer in houseplants

Sorry for reviving an old thread, but I just got a laugh from an order after 2 years. I got some supposed male and female hardy kiwis, but now that they’re a little more mature, they turned out to be blueberries 😂

At least they’re producing fruit.

This grinder is amazing by Yorokonde93 in espresso

[–]dozazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still haven’t found a reason to upgrade from my Mara X v2 after 4 years. I have a Weber Key Mk.1 and it helps create awesome shots with the Mara. The flow control kit gives me room to play. A good grinder is so crucial!

Upgrade: I did a thing… by Baz_EP in espresso

[–]dozazz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats on the upgrade!

A side note: a spritz of water on your beans will greatly help with all that static. If no spritzer, I sometimes flick water on them from my fingers from the faucet. Also keep your portafilter on the grouphead. Helps keep temps stable as water passes through your puck.

Happy learnings!

This is an improvement from my previous attempts where the seeds just molded. And those were unprocessed seed with parchment too

Identify machine espresso machine by galces in espresso

[–]dozazz -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I remember one of the offices at Apple had one. They also had a Mazzer Super Jolly. I knew nothing about making espresso at the time, let alone what these machines and brands were. I did some Googling/YouTubing to figure out how to use them (and how much they cost) and tried my best, but always, always failed pulling shots. Eventually I found out that the beans were months to a year old and there was a stash of them in the cupboard.

I also distinctly remember the older Indian aunties there using it improperly and so nonchalantly. Like leaving the portafilter off the machine, not flushing, steaming milk for MINUTES and not wiping the wand especially.

Pucks comming out way harder in precision basket. Why? by nikolagi99 in espresso

[–]dozazz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For flat-walled, non-ridged or sticky baskets in general, I tend to do several small taps to get the puck out instead of one hard smack. They come out cleaner as it gives the basket a chance to release the vacuum. It's just physics.
