Hello! I discovered freshly milled grain last year at a local store and love the complex flavor profile! I have been thinking about getting a home mill but I live in a tiny apartment (kitchen is also super tiny, less than 3 feet of counter top) and don’t have any plans to move anytime soon for many reasons.

I’m interested in hearing anything you wished you knew before home milling and your experiences that might be helpful for me making a decision about whether I could do this comfortably at home. I have read about people who have home mills having multiple types of grain and buying in bulk to make it economical.

I bake about every week on average and more during holidays and birthdays. Recently, I’ve been making a lot of whole grain pancakes.

thanks!!

edit: countertop is close to 2.5 feet or a little less.

I am trying to figure out the best way to start conversations in my neighborhood about invasive plants. I have been noticing seeds and small plants appear over the year despite my best weeding efforts, which is becoming more noticeable as I continue developing the garden to native plants.

Since the plants in your neighbor’s yard affect your gardens (even far away neighbors thanks to birds and critters!), I would like to ask:

1. Have you had a conversation with a neighbor about the negative impacts of invasive plants?
2. How did it go?
3. What was the impact?

Thanks for sharing!

Update: I can’t change the post title but I’m heading a strong trend to approach with positive aspects of incorporating native plants. Thanks for sharing your experience and considerations!
