Nice. Yesterday, I ordered a 12 cubic feet TK. Should have it soon. Any recommendations for a walk behind tamper?
@herideahomestead 24 күн бұрын
Unfortunately, no. We rented this monster. Didn't need to tamp before we pored because we were on hardpan. We hired contractors to backfill our trenches and they brought their own machines.

Hi Lucy. Thanks for your comment. What device are you watching on? I just watched this video on my TV, on my laptop, and on my phone in vertical and horizontal positions. The comments are not cut off on any of my screens. I did notice, though, that I am able to zoom in on the video using my phone. If I do that, it cuts off the edges of the picture. Is it possible you zoomed in and didn't pull the video back out?

I agree. I've got two: an 8" one I've had since 1990 and got a new 10" recently. Food in the 8" one never sticks. The 10" one always did. So I sanded it smooth on the inside AND outside bottom (because I didn't want it scratching my induction cook top). Then seasoned it with canola oil (which polymerizes easily). You used butter (traditional) but actually the canola oil is better for the seasoning purpose.
@herideahomestead 5 ай бұрын
I'll keep that in mind. We don't cook with seed oils at home, but there wouldn't be any harm in using it for an initial seasoning.

Hey Mel you said you got a timer on the faucet why don't you hook something up to where it comes through all the garden beds and allows you to have a timer on that as well so you can shut it off after just a few minutes of running and that way you still have all of your plants and everything your garden all watered without having to worry about it as long as you have electricity it'll do what needs to be done it'll water your stuff
@herideahomestead 5 ай бұрын
That will work here in Washington. We do have a timer and I can hook up all the garden beds with hoses. That won't help in Michigan where we won't have a pressurized water supply. We will have a shallow well with a hand pump.

So encouraging. I already know many of the skills for being independent and have always said my happy place would be 50 acres with a house in the middle of it. None the less, life has kept me in the subdivision, albeit a 2.5 acre lot. I may have space but it's WAY too steep and wooded to do much. I have a small raised bed garden area and plan to create more simple terraces this spring. I built a greenhouse in the back yard and my family lives nearby, so I have chickens and a large garden there. I can and preserve everything I can grow. I already heat with wood and cut all my own firewood, so that's not a problem. Luckily, my son desperately wants to be a farmer and due to some disabilities, will most likely need me near by. We might eventually create a joint venture where he can do the harder tasks and I can provide the know how, financial backing and support work. It's a dream in the works that may take another 5-10 years to materialize upon which I'll be close to 60 but one can never stop dreaming. Thanks for helping those of us not in our 20's keep the dream alive.

@@herideahomestead You have to decide if need water or cold protection, how heavy you can walk in, how much you want to spend. I liked Redwing as very many styles.Definitely get steel toed. I think men's boots are considerably cheaper than womens still. Be aware that some boots will fit foot well but be loose at ankles, may need to be creative with long cuffed thick socks folded to get better fit. Cheap rubber pullons by the door are good for "OH Bleep" moments as it is always rainy and slippery...always

You're absolutely right. I think I keep saying gravel because that is what I originally thought I was getting. What I got, because we needed to build up the area and because money was a huge factor for that quarter mile long driveway, was something called "pit run". Pit run is....dirt with a bunch of rocks. Exactly as it is dug out of the pit without any screening or sifting or anything. It works, though, and will be great for my off-grid homestead.
