Large batches are super easy. That's the beauty of it for me. No peeling. The only thing I would change is I can only fit a fairly small bowl under the chute. Cleanup isn't bad, mostly just rinse it in hot soapy water. The screen takes a little brushing but not bad. Much less work cleaning it...

This is what I'm talking about. I am not opposed to trying a food mill, but was wondering if anyone had used on of these. If you've never used one, they work great for tomatoes. I use a different screen than in the picture, its called a salsa screen and the holes are about 1/4". You wash your...

Gonna try making some sauce this year. Has anyone used a Squeezo like thing to strain your sauce? I call it a squeeze but now they are sold as a Sauce Master. A hand crank thing like a meat grinder that seperates the peelings and so on from the good stuff. I use mine to process my tomatoes for...

Finally got it all hooked up and everything works as I had hoped. Its been raining lately so I haven't been able to work out exactly how often and for how long I will need to run the system. I have a fertilizer injector made by EZFLO that I haven't hooked up yet, but am curious if its better to...

Lol, maybe I am overthinking it, just didnt think it could handle 120 psi

According to the place I bought all the stuff, I should be able to run 100 of the 2 gph emitters, which is what I have. I have a valve between the 100 tomatoes and the pepper tubs. The peppers dont need watered as often as the tomatoes anyway. The way I understand it, the 25psi hose end...

Pics before I had it all finished

I cant say for sure if the entire system will work because I havent hooked it up to the garden hose because Im afraid I have too much pressure and the thing I thought was a pressure reducer, isnt a reducer. I attached the drip system to the small spot sprayer I had and it worked about half the...

I was confused too. I had a new hydrant installed near my garden and it is coming right off the line that runs to my house. Apparently according to the place I got the regulator it is not a reducer, only a regulator. This is from their help section... Drip irrigation pressure regulators will...

I planted my tomatoes in grow bags set beneath cattle panels. I have 5 rows of 20 plants, each plant has a 2 gph dripper. I plant my peppers in empty mineral tubs with 3 plants per tub and a micro sprinkler centered in the tub.

Does anybody here have any experience with drip irrigation? I have converted my garden this year to all containers and I have installed a drip irrigation system but due to my water source near the garden being straight off the main line to my house I havent been able to properly test it. I have...

They arent doing that now, they've "bushed" back out at the top. They do look funny though, didn't notice it before. That pic was about a week ago. Waiting for the nightime temps to stay up so I can move to the outdoor greenhouse ASAP.

[/img] This is my "strictly for fun" logo I came up with for my salsa jar lids and spice containers. The name came from my co-worker and good friend. He was describing the after effects of consuming and the subsequent elimination of my salsa. On a related note, lining a logo up on label sheets...
