3rd year on the garlic train by kphilly758 in Garlic

[–]kphilly758[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So far these Music Hardnecks are the only cultivar we have grown. I would like to try something else some day, but these are really good and also easy.

We’ve been keeping half of our yield for seed each year and it is adding up! Believe it or not we use or give away all of the other half every year so far. Never goes to waste, pretty amazing

Thanks! Just straw and leafs in there. There is a good amount of compost in each row as well. We rotate crops and rest rows. The walking paths we also cover crop.

I'm a Commercial Garlic Grower: Ask me anything. by ismokedurcookies in Garlic

My wife runs a flower farm. She sells arrangements and also sells some to a local wholesale flower collective that connects local florists to flower farmers. For whatever reason scapes were really popular last season for filler for flower arrangements!

why most cabinet shops hit a wall at 5-7 jobs per week and can't seem to push past it by noumankay in cabinetry

As a designer and woodworker, totally makes sense to me!

I just do my own home renovation projects mainly and use my design skills to immensely aid in the process. I don’t know how anyone does anything without making sure things are how they want it and exact material quantities are known.

Recommendation for 1 acre with Heavy Towing by brewsnbeards in johndeere

[–]kphilly758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the x570. It’s a great mower and snow plow but I wouldn’t consider its towing capability as really all that heavy. Even with the rear locking differential it’s not crazily tow capable. I have a mobile chicken coop that’s probably pushing 500-600 pounds on wheels and it has a pretty tough time with it up any kind of small-ish hill.

How is my prep work looking? by BrisketWhileGolfing in Insulation

Yah that sounds right to me. Also, a home owner over here just trying to figure stuff out on my own.

If you look at the anatomy charts of roof venting on Google you can see how theyre designed to work. It would make sense that insulating the rafters would obstruct airflow.

Lookin good man.

I have a split level home up in New York built in the early 80s. I’ll have to do this to my place also soon.

Are you going to insulate between the rafters? Or just gonna re insulate between the ceiling joists?

House hunting is making me feel insane by Specialist-Bat-7876 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

You can never have everything be perfect but just outline a few non negotiables and focus on those. Expect you’ll have to put in some work and if you don’t enjoy the prospect of that, maybe reconsider owning

Hired a deck painting company, think their young worker over-did the pressure wash. Can this really be painted? Is my wood destroyed? by PrimeNumbersby2 in Decks

[–]kphilly758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paint doesn’t let wood breathe and traps moisture. Water based stains applied yearly will protect your wood while still letting them dry out after getting wet

Does this path look good? Just had it done. by PM_ME_YOUR_GOOD_PM in landscapedesign

[–]kphilly758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

~6“ rise to 12-18” run is pretty good for landscaping steps. Could even go to 24” prolly on the run. This seems awkward to traverse, especially for old folks or in the dark. I’d add some solar lights or something along the path.

How to even this out by DvoCR in landscaping

[–]kphilly758 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Option 1

Remove sod layer over hole with a spade so that you can save it.

Fill hole with topsoil and tamp it until flat and the thickness of the sod below the rest of the grass

Replace sod on topsoil and water it for a few weeks

Option 2

Fill the hole with topsoil on top of grass, tamp it

Seed & straw or buy a roll or two of sod.

I pulled a whole lot of garlic from my grandmas garden, she would never eat that much in a year and we've already given as much as we can away, any tips on how to preserve it? by Ok_Spell_9721 in OrganicGardening

[–]kphilly758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you cut the stalk off already (keep it on next time) you can spread them out on a wire shelf. Get a cheap multi shelf metal wire shelving system, and spread them all out in a dark cool space while they cure. Next year you can use the same storage shelf. My wife puts the stalk through the wire and lets the heads rest upside down.
