    contest The Next Throwdown is...

    I love Pho and Soto soup.. allthough it is hard to make an esthetically winning soup (Unless arranging ingredients for the pic). It would be the first one that I'd participate in. To bad you can't upload smells because soto absolutely smells delicious.

    cooking Why cook a fermented sauce?

    True that. Cooking does not necessarily mean bad flavor. Some times it really helps with bringing out certainly flavors. Mostly because the flavor blends better. It prevents some herbs/fruits from becoming overpowered. But exactly that can also be the negative side if you want certain flavors to...

    cooking Why cook a fermented sauce?

    Low pH is not a guarantee that botulism can't occur. It certainly helps (a lot) but there are recorded cases of botulinum surviving low (as in <3.8pH, the generally accepted safe level). There are a bunch of variants of Botulinum types. Not all will kill humans. Most of them create spores that...

    cooking Why cook a fermented sauce?

    Low pH inhibits the growth of c.botulinum but does not destroy toxins. Botulinum toxin is temp sensitive and is destroyed when heated over 85c/185f for min 5min. In other words, it's much needed safety. Also cooking kills spores of the most common European strain of Botulinum (B, Type I). Added...

    Composted cow manure

    Manure has a high pH due to the ammonia content. You can't just neutralize that with some peat. It has already decomposed and got acidic because of it. Best would be to mix it with organic matter like grass cuttings or leaves before compost in it. Now your best bet would indeed be to use peat...

    Vacation and care for my plants

    Overwatering or forgetting them after planning to stop by the 4th day are indeed the biggest worries. I wouldn't move them, as you now know when and how much water they consume. If you move them to a window they might get cold and stall or perhaps get too warm and stretch. As you won't be around...

    Anyone here ever buy anything on woot.com?

    481 complaints in three years over how many orders? If they only shipped 500 orders it's lot. If they shipped 5 million it's a very good score. It's all relative.

    Mushrooms

    Got my first flush of shiitakes from saw dust and got about a pound of them. They tasted really good, but I forgot to remove the stems (or well.. I just didn't.. ). Unfortunately it was the stems that were very though, but I grilled them in some good olive oil and only put som salt and black...

    Gnat Nix

    I bought a 11W insect lamp which I run 24/7. Especially at night in the first 3 days I had a lot of kills. I don't have any flying around any more (after two weeks). Investment was 8 euro = 10 bucks.. zero poison used.

    Artificial light for entire growth cycle?

    Why would TL be a bad choice for fruiting? I grow under 6500k TNEON and don't have issues with fruiting. I'm already harvesting from my 24-Nov-15 peppers. I agree that HID/MHS is better, though purchasing and running those lights is way more expensive. Exces heat and low humidity also easily...

    Needing a substitute for coconut milk

    Coconut has a one of a kind flavor. Creaminess can be substituted with.. well.. Cream. I'm fearing Almond milk might have too much flavor. But that's a hit or miss, it might even work out great. Try it, for the sake of science. Pizza is only a phonecall away.

    chinense What is best for maximum growth in Carolina reaper seedlings?

    If you have good potting soil and lighting.. start feeding them with mild sollutions of fert (half strength for vegetative stage) biweekly when they are 5" tall. When they are about 8" start with weekly ferting. Don't go full strength until they start flowering. Don't over water, let it dry out...

    Dream job

    Own a business as ammo discounter. Commercial parties here have a monopoly. If I would have the money and time I'd go to a European ammo manufacturer and buy a very small selection of calibers in bulk. 115/124gr 9mm FMJ, 5,56 in 55/62gr FMJ and SP, 7,62 in 147gr FMJ, 22lr Standard and HV..

    Cuttings work but are very hard to root (or I'm abosolutely crappy with cuttings). Out of two dozen only two rooted enough since August to survive the winter.

    Making the reaper sauce, do you want to taste?

    Not trying to shoot you, but the ingredients don't look that acidic if you combine it with (salted?) broth. Especially when combining pH with animal protein you risk a party with Mr. C.botulinum. Did you measure the pH when you brewed this batch up, if so, what was the pH? Edit: missed the...
