This is for my sprawling plants that have the capability to get big- pumpkins, watermelon, cucumbers ect. I do the same with starts as well.
At worst- I haven't had plants dislike this method, but you do need to stay in to of the grass growing in and over
Haze likes to "help". I do not want Haze to help. Haze likes to pull pins out of pincushions and pattern pieces. Giving Haze his own piece of paper helped considerably
Due to circumstances, I'm wanting to put in a row of sunflowers to make a short term privacy border (which may mysteriously reappear next year/s as well). The problem is the existing soil is:
A) scraggly lawn
B) poor in general and very rocky
Given this, I'm likely going to have to rip out a line of sod then try to fill and build up actual dirt. Actually hauling in dirt is going to be an effort, and I'll try to improve what I have. What would ya'll say is the minimum for sunflowers? I just need a starting point. Expected size is ~20'×1'
Greetings, I'm planning on using this giant houndstooth for making a lightweight hooded sunscarf/ cape/ thing based on this heavy cape/ hood/ mantle thing I've made before.
My concern is just how large each gap in the weave is. Currently the plan is to mark and cut pieces as usual, then immediately overlock each edge with a piece of ¼" twill tape added to try and stabilize everything. Think this will be enough?
My only other idea is to iron on stabilizer across the full length of fabric. This would have the advantage of preserving any scraps, but would burn through so much stabilizer when a large portion would be wasted as scraps
Not everything is a success the first time around, and sometimes we just need to laugh at the funny ways things go wrong. I wanna see your worst.
The reason why my mother is banned from "helping" adjust my patterns. Please note: pants were inside out for this
I did not need an illuminated crotch on these pants
Basically I've been doing this for almost a year now, since I got my chickens. My best place to dump their manure/wood chip bedding has been close to the neighbor's fence, so I've been covering the pile with grass clippings.
While I haven't noticed any heating up, I harvested some of the early stuff which was clearly at least partially decomposed to toss in the garden in March, which would have been... ~7-9 months of it sitting.
I don't stir or mix, because again, trying to limit any possible smells for the neighbors. That's rather important to me, as I don't have a sense of smell, and don't want to impose a bad smell on others. The last few months I've also added some Wine Cap mushroom starter to help break down the wood chips faster and to eventually work on getting the Wine Cap mycelium into the garden for nemotode control and plant benefits.
