    Help needed

    I've been in Constanta, Craiova, Petrosani, Timisoarana, Bucharest and a lot of other places. I learned right (Ursus) from wrong (Timisoarana, Noroc) there. : -) Even thought I would go blind from a bad batch of Tuica. I love how it looks, especially around Petrosani. There where a lot of...

    Help needed

    Hi all, I'm sorry for posting this here as I'm often annoyed by the random money begging crowd funding requests that seem to be sprouting like weeds these days. I usually distrust charities as they not always have the best reputation. However, I just learned that SARS Romania launched an...

    How big do the plants get?

    No, different varieties come with different growth paterns. Some stay small, some become huge bushes and some (especially baccatums) shoot up..

    Our future home!

    Looks nice! It does look a bit like snake territory though, but I have no clue what lives where in the US. I bet there are a ton of lizzards as well. It's always fun to watch them run in terror when you're just watering your plants. Though because of your user name I think the reptiles would be...

    manure

    Yes, bird poop often has salmonella. Though just compost it first and you should be fine. When used fresh it would be quite sharp anyway, with a huge chance of burn. Most (more like all) manure has dangerous pathogens like e. coli, salmonella, klebsiella etc. With healthy people they are usually...

    manure

    You can use all herbivore manure, though avoid carnivore and omnivore manure (dog, cat, pig etc). Pig manure can be used but is very sharp (lots of ammonia) if it's from farmed pigs. If it's from free range pigs that also eat nuts, grasses etc it can be used normally (they have solid lumps...

    A little bigger.

    Blending will easily get it to thin/liquid and not puree like. If you're not comfortable to buy from the chinese, watch the documentary "Made in the USA". Even your US made item is just assembled in the USA (by cheap mexican labor). I only know one US "made" Industrial blender brand and that's...

    Talk to me about edema

    There's nothing wrong with coir though, it's just a different medium. You can get great results with all mediums if you use them properly. Most people just mix it in their soil, easily getting it waterlodged. I prefer a very easily draining soil + peat mix with 5-10% perlite due to the wet...

    Talk to me about edema

    Edema is just the excretion of salts true the cells in the leaves. It's a combination of factors, mostly watering, container size and nutes (salts). If your plant uses up X volume of water per day and you use a small pot, the soil will be very moist/wet. If you put the same water in a large...

    Garden Destroyed

    From this side of the ocean I can't help you on the way with live plants or edibles, though I'm willing to send a care package with some rare wilds to get you on your way next season. It should get you some nice trading material for the following season. They won't be in time to grow this...

    Anyone try Hugelkultur?

    Please note that it indeed needs to rot to become effective. It's not for one season, but lasts for several years. Fresh bark can deprive nitrogen, so monitor that and supplement in time if needed.

    Anyone try Hugelkultur?

    Hügelkultur! Using a raised bed is basically Hügelkultur as well. Traditionally they would pile up wood bark (as waste of the saw mill) and cover with manure and soil. You than get a easy warming, draining though moisture retaining, nutrient rich hill that slowly goes away. Traditionally they...

    music any metal heads on thp?

    Not really a metalhead (I lean more towards Deutschrock), though I listen to it frequently. My preference goes to sabaton as I like their texts (about historical battles).

    Average Consumer Heat pref.

    Besides that, I think it greatly differs per region and ethnicity. South Californians and Texas would most likely prefer spicier food than people from the north east. Hispanics will eat more spicy food than caucasians (per average of course, some hispanics are wimps and caucasians can be fire...

    What's the weirdest thing you've made with your peppers?

    Haha nothing wrong with it. Though I know most Americans don't eat organ meat. I don't think you would like it when you knew what you were eating, though I think most people would like it when they didn't know what they were eating. It's not a overpowered taste/smell like fried liver. We eat...
