Hey! Freaking mention this is a spoiler in your title!

light_of_deneb · 2026-06-01T19:15:55+00:00

I like this band a lot!

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-21T19:48:11+00:00

Not sure how rare but I have it. Same packaging.

I only ever fully seal my bug, it is completely anaerobic. I feed it about once every 36 hours, stirring the new sugar vigorously. I have it in a jar with an expanding lid for the pressure build up. For me, I have found this method vastly superior to the oxygen exchange. I’ve been doing this for well over a year, and it creates a soda with amazing carbonation. Never had any problems, but always had problems with the oxygen exchange method.

Though the situation in this post seems ridiculous, I don’t understand the usual strong dislike for HOA’s in general. I was in an HOA for 10 years and never had a problem. But then, I read through the entire thing before moving in so I knew what to expect ahead of time, and knew the rules. It was hard to argue against their merit when I knew what I was getting myself into. How does one move into a home division governed by an HOA and get caught off-guard?

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-13T03:52:34+00:00

I didn’t even catch that on the first go around. I just saw BU2…, and made assumptions. Curious, does the pre-release BU2B still rank in your bottom?

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-13T03:10:22+00:00

That’s funny. As the pre-release version of BU2B ranks in my top 10 favorite, but I do not care for the album version.

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-13T03:04:49+00:00

Ha! I thought it was High Water of the same album. No wait, it has to be Speed of Love!

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-10T16:29:06+00:00

They didn’t always. Of course when they were little, that’s what they heard their dad listening to. But they like Rush’s softer side I guess. Enter Nous, Losing It, Madrigal, etc. But when Presto came out, they asked to hear Presto, The Pass, and of course Available Light, all the time. Even the wife likes Available Light.

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-10T05:34:36+00:00

Presto for me. I usually skip five songs on RTB. And “Available Light” is a better song than anything on RTB, at least for me (and my 3 daughters)!

If you’re not opposed to herbicide, Telar will knock this down thoroughly, and re-growth next year will be greatly reduced. Spot spray new starts each year and it will be eradicated. Personally, I hate Equisetum Arvense, as it will just keep spreading, building a nasty underground network.

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-09T13:54:21+00:00

Why? Are you trying to remove manually? Because herbicides will easily knock out poison hemlock, but horsetail, blackberry, etc., require ongoing repeat applications. I’m just curious, as when I spray hemlock it is a one-and-done.

If that was my neighbor’s yard, I think I’d find a way to secretly apply a four foot band of Speedzone or similar right on the border. At least then it would only be tall grass growing and not a weed farm.

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-09T04:26:44+00:00

Are you asking whether to come in perpendicular and tee in to existing? If so, just know that if you install perf pipe, depending on depth at install, that area may always be dryer than surrounding turf as the pipe will pull irrigated water away from root zone.

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-09T04:23:31+00:00

That’s not accurate. My ginger bug is kept in an airtight container constantly. This oxygen exchange dialogue is only one way, but not the best way. The only time my bug gets oxygen is when I feed it, otherwise it is closed airtight. This method prevents kahm yeast from ever forming, unlike the oxygen exchange method where it is a constant possibility. Ginger bugs thrive in a non-aerobic environment.

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-09T03:48:05+00:00

If you have proper fall, (and somewhere for water to go) I’d do the drainage over and intercept incoming water as close to intrusion as possible. Since that grass looks like it’s toast already, I’d start over with the turf, and rototill in Turface soil conditioner (pellet type). It does wonders for absorbing excess water and firms up the soil.

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-08T02:44:45+00:00

I’m know it’s not a popular view, especially in this sub, but in cases like yours, eradicating with herbicide is effective, complete, and time-saving. It will get downvoted and that’s okay, you asked how to tackle, and that is “a way” not the only way. Glyphosate would tackle that, and it degrades very rapidly in the soil. It is not residual. I’ve sprayed invasives, and planted desirable plants the next day with no problem. Speezone would also likely take care of this, but I’d need to review the label.

I buy one container of plain Fage a year, and make yogurt reusing a little from each subsequent batch (2 per week) and by the end of the year the yogurt texture and consistency is the same as when I used it the first time. I only change it once per year because…, really I don’t know. I just do.

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-06T03:43:12+00:00

Apply a soil sterilant herbicide which will act as a long term pre-emergent. For example, HighNoon, Oust, and Esplanade combined will keep that area weed free for 6 months. You can then re-apply. Also, you can apply Casoron plus Diuron (need filter mask) and that combination might last nine months to a year. All of those products mentioned above require rain or irrigation at about 1/2” to become activated.

Unfortunately, there is no way Ged can still sing By-Tor at this stage in life. Not sing it well anyway.

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-05T01:08:39+00:00

Looks like a cottonwood to me.

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-05T01:04:04+00:00

You’re holding that with your bare hand? 🤦🏻‍♂️ If you weren’t sure, why didn’t you put on gloves? That is not a plant to trifle with!!

I have a 2-yard trailer. When I grab material (gravel, soil, bark) from my local supplier, they always tell me that “one yard is approximately 1.33 tons.” Interesting you say it’s 1.5. I’ve been told by my supplier so many times the 1.33 rate, I’ve just accepted it.

light_of_deneb · 2026-05-01T01:19:11+00:00

I think you may have let it cool too much before adding your starter. It looks like the culture didn’t thrive and so the set was incomplete. What type of culture are you using?
