Have you tried flying up into the sky and seeing if you can drop a ball into a hole? It's a fun challenge, and the ball won't bounce out once it goes in.

@@sextonhomesteadlife i have but it’s been a while

For the Christian, eternal life has already begun. :)

That's tricky. I'm not sure that I have one firm definition in mind. As you might expect, I view the word through a Christian lens. So I would define cults in relationship to Christianity. I typically associate the concept of cults with religious secrecy and often with a twisting of religious teachings or an amalgamation of Christian with non-Christian doctrine. Hope that answers your question.

It all depends on what you want to extract. If you're after only the alcohol soluble components, then you want the proof to stay as high as possible. Any additional water would dilute the potency. If you're after only water soluble components, you only need enough alcohol to prevent spoilage. Since we're very often after a mixture of these, a stronger proof (undiluted) alcohol does not always equal a medicinally stronger tincture. For the most medicinally potent tincture, use the proof that best corresponds to that herb.

Thanks! That will make things much better!

@@sextonhomesteadlife No Problem

@@LuculusVR I found a skeletal hand in upside town, in the rooftop garden with the pumpkins. I think it might be a missing hand from the skeleton under the fire escape.

@@sextonhomesteadlife Cool, I’ll look for it next time I’m on

Thanks! Your videos gave me the idea to make one of my own.

@@sextonhomesteadlife Oh cool

It is! Thanks!

You do not.

i found some maggots but they had all crawled away and died.

Mine are in my cement mixer!😂

LOL, what are you trying to do? If you are trying to clean them you will need water in them. I use about three gallons of water for seven gallons of hull walnuts, repeat 4 or 5 times. That would be hard to do with a dryer. I use a cement mix too.

@@tonydalton8712 I was thinking of a junked dryer that I don't mind putting water in - just enough to do the job. All you need is the motor, not the heating element. Just throw them in and fill her up. Who cares if it shorts out? That's what circuit breakers are for. And there are junked dryers everywhere.

Place them In a leftover pet food bag. When ripe an soft. Squeeze the nut out of the husk then take a hose to wash off the pulp once pulp is removed float the nuts good ones sink bad ones float. Discard the ones that float.

The nut shells can be ground down into a fertilizer or even a plywood pulp.

After I. Crush mine open I use the empty shell to. Make a potting soil from.

To make the nut easier to crack set them. In your BBQ grill with a few charcoal bricks. Once dried And burn so much of the shell down. This will remove unwanted oils in the pulp an. Thin the shell making them easier to crack. And it smokes an flavors the pulp at the same time.

Slow roast the dry nut by burning off the surface shell. Don't take your eyes off them as u burn off so much. Use the heat an ash to thin the shell. To flavor the pulp can add hickory charcoal and smoke flavor the pulp. At the same time.

Compost them for at least a year. Gives it plenty of time to release the Jugalone.

@@biffmalibu3733 still what gets done w the waste water/slurry ? Won't that poison the lawn?

@@lynnodonnell4764 hasn't hurt my grass. I use a concrete mixer to wash mine after I hull them and just dump the water on my lawn. I would imagine larger operations have a settling pond and recycle the rinse water. Grass doesn't seem to mind the rinse water but I noticed any worms in the area surface real quick.The shells burn really hot like coal so I just either burn them or put them in the woods behind the house for the critters to pick through.

@@lynnodonnell4764 I have noticed only grass typically grows underneath black walnut trees. You could use that to your advantage around your property where you don't want other things sprouting up; just spread the slurry where you don't other trees or shrubs. If you mow the grass a few times a year under your BW tree, they are much easier to find and pick off the ground when they fall.

Same. and after removing the hull, they take much less space to store. But ya, the maggots

He only mentioned "inside in the corner of a room", which might be an enclosed porch of some kind? The maggots (larvae) of walnut husk fly (Rhagoletis completa) are light brown flies, smaller than a housefly, and have dark bars crossed on their two transparent wings. I wonder how much of a problem they would be in any indoor space. I would guess it would be best to dry in some sort of shed, like you might dry corn in a corn crib. Luckily us home growers typically can ignore the walnut husk fly because they don't affect the nutmeats, but I certainly wouldn't want an indoor infestation of then flying inside my house!
