Home made coming out a bit greasy

Used a dehydrator. Did 155 for about 5 hours, and 140 for another 3. Its not really chewey, more on the crisp side, which is fine. But it still a bit greasy feeling.

It had very little fat in it. Did a soy marindate with liquid smoke and pepper and garlic.

Any ideas on how to dehydrate it so its more dry than greasy?

Peach tree dropped fruit and all leaves drooping

Possibly overwatering from rain? Been getting about 6-8 in a week, raining every day or other day.

Only plant like this. Other apple and peach trees fine. Garden fully fine.

I know stones are bad, will remove soon. Been here about 4 months.

What makes running a game server get away with lesser CPUs?

Typically you would find PC builds wanting something like a 5600x or x3d model. Could core 19 for good game performance.

Then you see people using 10 year old cpus to run game servers and works just fine. Are CPU requires really that lax and people just way over build on the CPU side? Does just running a server just have a lot less overhead cost and can geta way with it?

Not really understanding there.

Looking to put up my own self hosted game server for friends, swap between any number of games from project zomboid, palworld, enshrouded, Ark, but only 1 ever at a time really.

CPU requires seem a lot less needed than what people recommend on a standard pc.

Ideas for more browns?

Just started a garden. I know ill have extras to compost and ill have lots of stalks (corn, tomatoes, etc) cuttings when done. All of these are greens. I have no trees in my yard, so no leaves or sticks or branches.

I dont really want to leave corn in my bags until they turn brown as I want to plant other things when the corn is done.

So..what can I do for compost for browns?

I dont really go through a lot of paper. I can use cardboard, but idk about wanting to shred it all (would cardboard alone be enough)?

Things like chip drop isn't going to work and no, there isn't any wood people around me for wood chips or anything else.

Its not a big garden, so Im thinking of just getting a tumbler compost, I just have no idea what I can use for browns...

Other option is to just trash bag it and toss it with the trash.

Couple stalled sunflowers. Ideas on why?

Just trying to figure out why the couple of the left have stalled. All planted at same time, the couple of the left haven't grown in about 2 weeks. Completely stalled. Still looks healthy, no real pests (always going to be a couple leaf eaters). Unsure. They just felt like stopping.

What to do with old plant material if no compost?

Just thinking ahead. Corn talks/leaves, tomato plants, bean plants, long watermelon vines.

Anything I should do with all this material when season over? I dont have a compost bin and if I did, I have really no browns to add to all this. If I was to start one, probably be one of those free standing ones but they aren't very big.

Should I just bag and trash it? Any thoughts on getting a grinder and grinding it and just throwing it back into the beds?

Fire blight pruning

Should it be done immediately when spotted, even in the spring/summer or should you always wait to winter to prune it?

Bascially got it on every branch of 2 trees due to blossoms

Potatoes and carrots

Did I pull carrots to early? About 3 months old, tops stick out about 1 inxh out of soil. Top of carrots discolored and not very sweet.

Potatoes, not getting enough water you think?

Been treated with sulfur fungicide since January. Weekly.

So census is to put up shade cloth with temps are 90+ consistently.

Is this based on the weather high? Because this is temps in the shade.

For example last few days highs been 75-80, but temp in the direct sun on the plants has been 100-110.

So do you add shade cloth with the shade temp (weather channel/apps) are 90+ or when direct sun temps are this high?
