Although this is good method for killing weeds you should be advised that is can also sterilize the soil and won't allow anything to grow much of after that.

So I live in Florida and near a lake. I don't have a screened in lanai & during the day we could not sit outside for long. At night we would get eaten alive. Installed a DynaTrapDTT20 about 10 feet from lanai & have absolutely decreased flying insects. Won't trap greenheads Reduces somewhat no-see-ums/midges. Mosquitoes have definitely reduced during daylight hours compared with previous days

I tried a ground cherry. Three failed starts😮 but now I have two really nice plants. They taste like a pineapple, sortof.😊 I've started a few trees from seed. So far Lemon, apple, pear, avocado and date palm. I still have the date palm, pear and apple BUT, found out that the apple and pear are only the root stock. So, so far we've bought two pear trees and I tried to graft a branch onto my two pear stocks. One of them took. Boy has it grown fast since the Spring. Maybe you just need to buy an actual tree and graft a branch from it onto your plants that you grew from seed? Still debating whether to buy an apple tree so I can graft a branch onto the apple stock. I started this cause I was curious now I'm hooked!😅

Hi, it's Sept 2024 right now. My single seed challenge had a really poor start. But I learned why. Ground cherries need a lot of heat to germinate. Now I have two very big plants in repurposed blue boxes😮. Love these challenges. Next year the two people I've been following, Chad at down home backyard gardening and Brian at next level gardening are doing an okra challenge. Hopr to see you there😊🇨🇦🙏

My Rose of Sharon look more like trees with one main trunk. Some have white flowers, the other two have pink and then purple. But the shape is the same. Was hoping to shorten some that are dropping seeds into the neighbor's back lawn. I wondered if topping it off would make it bushier because the are very few lower branches.

I find waiting to wash them when eaten or take the time to dry them first or they get soggy or new fav, paper towel the jar with as little touching contamination as possible. But also want to know if there are any fruits or veggies that shouldnt be canning jar'd (needing to breath i assume) and why don't they come in a jar and cleaned. That being said im bad with follow threw but great with ideas so if someone motivated or with funding "can" take the idea to buisness i know it would be popular then for the good karma start a horoscope jars with your fortune behind each jars lable business and dont forget to bring me in on it plz😅

Thank you!!!!! I got to the corners #7 with #49 and could not figure out which bolt went where. I took a lot of notes, time stamps screenshots to help me and saved your video to help me with the rest of the build. My foundation is 2x6 pressure treated 4x4 in the corners and pea gravel. Other videos I've seen used metal tape clear caulking and self tapping metal screws. Because it gets super windy here I will be doing this. I think the comment about explaining over the music is towards the end. I had to skip over that part the music was loud and you didnt explain anything.

I think just about every “cinderblock” from a store like Lowe’s or home depot will be a concrete block due to the fazing out of cinder in construction. Where I live the only way to get a real cinder block is to buy them used from individuals, no store will sell them. This is great for gardeners because you can easily find blocks that are completely garden safe.
