Save your toes. Kick backwards at the weeds with your heel. Been doing it this way since I ‘invented’ it as a lazy teenage boy in about 1976. Great tips. Have a good day!!

That water filter bit was smart, and probably worth it's own video

I came here expecting to learn about some elegant way of getting rid of big weeds using chemistry and/or technology that all of us dummies are completely unaware of, but this dude just told me to step on it and kick it's ass. I was *not* disappointed by the outcome of this venture.

As someone who has been haunted by my inability to properly boil eggs, I greatly appreciate the egg boiling hack.

Man I appreciate the water filter information and your delivery throughout was smooth and well paced. Thank you for your time.

From one guy living on a farm to another, I appreciate the tips and tricks. Trying the egg boiling one today for sure

The “weed” kicking will add to sore toes and knees. It is close to what some folks do plainly called “stepping down”. Step plants down and sever with sharp shovel. No bending required.

Here's one : Paint your peg board white (preferably on both sides). It will resist water damage and reflect light.

After you get your weeds out of the way you can go back with one of those 2 gallon sprayers filled with vinegar you can get from Amazon I can’t remember the percentage but it’s not the 5% from the grocery store, spray the roots of the weeds with that and a little bit of I should say a tiny bit of Dawn dish soap and then sprinkle salt on top. Whatever you do don’t put the salt in with the vinegar because it clogged my sprayer

I wondered why as a child [my mom], and then as a husband [my wife], always put the celery in water after cutting it up; who knew?

I know it's invasive, but that Burdock @10:00 is a herb everyone ought to look into. The roots are used in Japanese cooking (as Gobo) and are very good for your liver.

Seriously never thought of running the filters in parallel. Definitely going to try it.

Fun fact, an elbow adds the effect of ~7 extra feet of straight pipe. keep that in mind if anyone is trying to do anything awkward to get extra filters... Just use PEX in an arc and shark fitting it back to your copper if absolutely necessary.

I’ve had chickens and also buy eggs at the store. So I’ve had real fresh eggs and not so fresh eggs. The best way to have hard-boiled eggs that peel easily is to steam them. You put your eggs in your steamer for about 20 minutes then take them out and put them in your cold water until you can easily handle the eggs. The shells will slide off. You’re welcome!-- Susan

1: An egg peeling hack that I saw that works well is to take the egg and put it in a glass tumbler, put your hand over the end, and shake it vigorously. It either cracks the shell all over, or sometimes removes it completely. I can't tell for sure if a little water in the glass helps or not. 2: I keep store-bought celery and heads of lettuce crisp by wrapping them in damp paper towels and putting them back in the bag. I've had lettuce last literally months, as long as the paper towel prevents it from coming into contact with the plastic (it rots if it does.)

All I ever do with eggs is I put them in cold water, start boiling - 12 minutes from start to have them perfect, 14 if I want them hard boiled. Then I empty the boiling water, fill up with cold water, and peel it under a running faucet. You just have to make sure to get under the membrane. That's my "trick". Thanks for a fun video!

Most of the greatest everyday inventions came from farmers, as far as I know. The simple reason to experience it is the most telling and usually you're into something that works. =) Keep on.

Man that logic behind the life of the parallel filters is counterintuitive and quite revolutionary. Thanks for sharing these tips

Try hitting the weeds with your heel instead. A lot easier on the toes.

Here in Hawai'i we use a tool called an "o'o" (sounds like "oh oh", I think you guys call it a "Conner Bar"). In my opinion, this is almost the only tool you need for regular gardening. Easy to get even large, woody weeds like Himalayan raspberries, which are extremely thorny, and their huge roots, out. Drawback? It's very heavy, so you'll build muscles or have to get one that "fits" you.

@FarmCraft101 I came specifically looking for the thumbnail, and let me tell you... you did not disappoint!!! I have a bad back and a horribly weed covered yard and this is going to help me kick them weeds to the curb and out of my life and make it so much better!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!! I will be sure to wear my cowgirl boots for this job too, so I don't injure my foot or leg!!! I definitely, with much glee, liked, subbed and rang the bell!!!

These really are great hacks. There's actually surprisingly little content out there for us country boys, on the big farm/homesteads. But on your final remark, I'm surprised you wear shorts. Wearing jeans all the time, no matter how hot it is, has saved me from so much shit over the years. I mean you look down and there's a wasp on your jeans or you see that you just walked through poison ivy, or you need to blaze your way through some blackberry, it just saves your ass a lot.

I have really enjoyed your content. I was stuck at our ranch in "Covid-Prison" and stumbled across your videos; I have learned a ton and am more apt to fix something than replace.

The parallel filters is genius, and the accompanying graph did wonders to prove your point.

The #2 _hack_ for floppy wage and celery sticks also works on carrots as well. 👍

Very useful tips, thank you for helping us save time and money! On the weed kicker, you can also just step on the weed in one direction until it bends and then lay it down in the other direction (180 degrees) and step or stomp on it again until it breaks. (So much easier on your feet!)

I appreciate the practical and straightforward suggestions. Graphs are OK.

I totally understand the filter bit, I installed a pre-filter to my reverse osmosis and now the expensive filters on the R-O system last 2-3 times longer. Thanks for the explanation 👍🙂

I just watched your fuel filter scenario where you added a second, and this now makes perfect sense and I'll likely do the same to my home because I only have a single sediment filter and nothing else.

I love going to a hotel that has "meh" water pressure in the showers. Not when I'm done with it. And then when i'm leaving I put it back together. Cause as AvE says, f the next guy.

WEEDS: Many of the weeds you kicked off will just come back again, and while they are growing up the roots are still actively growing deeper. Just go back and bring a garden fork with you to pry them out at the first. EGGS: Seriously? Your eggs are at least 1.5 to 2 weeks old (whether if unwashed and sitting on the counter) or several months old if purchased from your grocers (which were shipped from a warehouse for purchase locally) to have such a large airspace! Fresh eggs when candled will reveal they rarely have an airspace larger that the circumference of a cat's-eye sized marble. These are the eggs that are hard to peel. Other than these; I found your video really helpful!

A teaspoon is the perfect tool to remove the egg shell. Tap the egg shell with the teaspoon to start a few cracks in the shell, take a little of the shell off of the egg's blunt end, slip the teaspoon under the remaining shell and rotate the egg.

I peel eggs under running water, which gets between the shell and membrane and separates them. You can also rehydrate peffy cucumbers. Some kitchen faucets are californicated and restricted in a way that can't be hacked. Most new faucets have 1.8 GPM flow, you can still find excellent quality uncalifornicated Chinese faucets on Amazon that still have 2.4 GPM flow.

THIS CHANNEL NEVER FAILS TO ENTERTAIN OR EDUCATE ME

Eggs in the steamer works well too but your vinegar trick is excellent! Thanks 😊

our water is municipally provided, but has a bit of a sulfur flavor. and a lot of sand. so, I installed three filters like yours in parallel, but i think i'll modify the system to include a set of downstream charcoal filters. that's a great idea. love your hacks. :)

When peeling fresh boiled eggs before I let them sit in cold water after throwing out the hotwater I give the pan a shake to crack all the eggs shells and then let them sit in the cold water for five minutes. After five minutes or so you take out the eggs and the water got in between the shell and the membrane and between the membrane and the eggs and you’ll simply pull of the shell etc.

Great idea for the filter!

The celery 1:51. I had tried that with green onions today…later in the day checked the green onions and they did the same with your clearly. Thanx for the tip. Also, enjoyed the video with all of the tips…I will try some this week.

I'm really glad you're releasing videos again!

Loved the boiled egg tip~ yup going to try it & did learn something new❣️

love your videos. as for the celery hack. I simply use a ziplock bag with a very wet paper towel around the base of the celery and store it in the fridge that way. it also works amazingly for lettuce and prolongs the shelf life drastically.

Holy crap my farmer parents have those exact same pots and pans!

Hello from Moosomin, Saskatchewan, Canada great videos thanks for sharing

For what it's worth, I've found that using a pressure cooker for hard boiled eggs is the best method for easy to peel eggs.

I'll be trying that celery trick. As for Eggs, that's the #1 thing I use my Instant pot for. they come out perfect and peel easy

The last one, #6, was really helpful. I also liked the egg tricks. Very nice!

The flow restricter is not to reduce the flow, it is to aerate the water so it doesn't splash as much. If you have filters in parallel, then water will begin to flow through the weaker filter more and more, resulting in little or no filtration. Better to get rid of both of those filters and add a single filter to each faucet desired. No need to filter toilet water. The new filters should be able to handle the flow desired. For stubborn weeds, use your cannon. :) Or pour molten metal on them, that'll work for sure.

I've been pulling those water restrictors for years. Good tip.

Good tip on the boiled eggs. I run cold water ver mines while peeling them and it works great!

Great info on the water filter! 👍

The boiled egg method is the same I’ve used for the longest and it’s hands down the correct method

That celery trick is awesome!

4:12 for those, you can split the two plastic pieces apart, and inside is another filter element. Mine clog up sometimes cause we have hard water in arizona, so sometimes I yank those apart to clean out any mineral deposits.

Thanks for sharing this hacks. I have a single filter and I've been toying with installing a spin down filter. Do you have any experience with these filters?

I had a problem with peeling boiled eggs and eggs cracking when boiling them. But then I stopped boiling them. I steam them using a steamer basket. Put it in a pot, fill with water until it's about a quarter inch below the basket. Put your eggs in without them touching, I can put 6 in my basket. Put a lid on the pot then turn on the burner. You have to figure out how long it takes to boil eggs but for me, at sea level with my old range it takes 17 minutes to cook AA large and 15 minutes for large. You don't have to cold shock them just put them in a bowl of cold water. I grew up raising chickens and mom boiled eggs your way but still we had occasional problems with boiling them. Now we don't, they peel easily and I only get a cracker if the shell had been crack before boiling.

I am doing the filter thing,but I am using two 3 way valves to isolate two filters at a time. No need to shut off water when changing filters.

You are a weed kicking master. I liked each of your hacks.

I have drilled out a flow restrictor in a showerhead at a house that had well water and low pressure because of this. With the flow restrictor in place and the low pressure, almost no water was coming out and it was impossible to shower with it that way, so I grabbed a drill and opened the hole up a little more.

Good video, the HB egg thing I already knew less the vinegar, filters I change every three months, only use two. Weeds, I do all at once courtesy of Stihl. "Never wear shorts on a farm"

Gotta say I've always liked this channel. This video is a continuation of good content

I would suggest using a little coconut oil for the celery hack... The oil makes it easier to scrape the celery into the trashcan. A serious question: How do you waste water? It's almost impossible. You can move water, you can store water but you can't waste it. There is the exact same amount on the planet now as there always has been.

Thank you for your tips. Going to get after those weeds next to the house!

I hard boil eggs for my wife and I use the shock method but I use a tea spoon of salt, (I was told that salt helped) but tomorrow I will change that to vinegar. I use lots of vinegar to clean coffee machine and faucets. I will be breaking out the drill for the faucet in the kitchen too.

Great life hack vids, thanks. I spent $70 for a Big Blue 4.5x20" housing and change it about every 9 months. That's cheaper than your 4x $30 2.5x10" housings. And filters were $122.10 Azon for a ten pack. I'm a super frugal guy, but I know to spend a little more now to save a lot later, and this does. (It appears that the 2.5x10 filters have come way down in price since I installed my Big Blue in '22, but I still like the lower maintenance of the larger filter.) Oh, for weeds, I carry around my EDC Wakizashi. ;)

Thanks for sharing your videos and keep them coming please.

Very creative- I just about killed my back leaning down to pull weeds. I’ll try your method

the way to peel eggs according to a Ainsley Harriett a famous TV chef which I alway use is after hard boiling is to tap both ends to crack the shell, next lay the egg on its side and roll it under your palm with a little pressure to crack the whole shell , then the shell comes off in one large piece most of the time.

Shocking eggs does work. I only do the ice bath immediately after boiling, for maybe one minute. Crack and peel straight away. No problems. We get both farm fresh and store bought eggs and this works well for us. Good luck!

Very informative, thank you!

The water filter hack was awesome!

Another egg peeling tip, I find it’s easier to peal from the air pocket end, which is the big end.

Slip the shell off with a tea spoon . If I crack raw eggs fast with a sharp knife the shell stays on the menbrane

#3 blew my mind - been driving for years but somehow didn't know that!

Thanks for the tips.... I could use a few of your tips..

Thank you. I recently replaced the faucet in my kitchen sink. I can't get enough flow to activate the tankless hot water heater. Now if I can just get the aerator off...

For the weed removal, can I use my left foot instead as I am left footed. Also with the water filters producing more water before they fail, does it mean I have to stay in the shower longer? Thanks.

Excellent tips. Subscribed.

Old lady here. I do glitter and sawdust. Just letting you know you can do both. If you want. Thanks for the tips, tho. Handy stuff, this.

Every guy out there watches the celery hack and starts wondering...

What a great video. I learned so many useful things!

That was just what I needed this morning thank you

I crack eggs before I boil them - hold the egg over the rounded end of a wooden spatula or spoon, tap the other end of the spatula or spoon on the counter. The crack allows water to get in as the egg is cooking and separates the membrane from the shell. Put them in running cold water once done to stope the yolk getting a grey colour to it.

Stopped in for some life pro tips, stayed for the burdock curb-stomping.

I love your channel. Thanks!

The pressure drop across each pair of filters&piping causes 1 pair to not function until the pressure drop equals and then they'll both flow until the original working pair quickly becomes more clogged and then the other pair will operate. The amount of time both pairs of filters are actually flowing is probably less than a week (absolutely a SWAG on my part, of course).

I did not know about #2. Thanks!

That burdock is one of the best medicine there is.

Thanks for the great video. Fantastic ideas.

I just got my new leg day workout. A couple left and a couple right to balance each out 😆

I have found that steaming eggs for 15 minutes is the best way, and they are easy to peel about 99% of the time.

wish i would've known that years ago. 1980's drought alfalfa fields dried up only thing growing was crab grass canada thistle & milkweed dad always made me walk the fields pull milkweed throw them in the rockbox before cutting the field because cows wont eat those bales i remember how sticky my hands/steering wheel/tools were

That was a kick to watch. Especially at the end.😁

Nonneed for vinegar which affects the taste. Just like shocking egg into boiling water, it's more important to shock it from boiling into an ice bath. This works every time.

New Sub you got me on the eggs we get farm (within a week of laying) thought I was brain damaged cause couldn't peel eggs any more!! God Bless

Peel hard boiled eggs by first removing some shell at the large end. There is an air space underneath. Then, insert a tablespoon under the shell, matching the curve of the spoon to the egg. Lift off pieces of shell, leaving the undamaged egg.

So many awesome ideas!

Saving water is a fool's errand unless you're currently in a drought. Water reservoirs aren't there to keep a year's supply of water. At least here in Switzerland I've heard they're providing water for a day or two. Makes sense, after all if you keep water too long, it usually doesn't get any fresher. So as long as the water reservoir gets refilled fast enough, it doesn't matter how much of it you're using. Not using it will not save it for harsher times at all. Think of it like diverting the water from its natural path. as long as downstream nothing dries out, you aren't taking too much of it. It's that simple.

Totally trying the vinegar trick.
