well you better take the frau out for some quality time then!
While I didn't participate as I was working my wife and youngest had a good day- this being Patriots Day they went to visit the site of America's first gun control act. Which of course was what inspired the shot heard round the world and the Revolution. Pretty cool day to do it. They had a great time seeing the monuments, walking across the bridge, and just appreciating what those farmers did back 241 years ago in Concord MA.
pay close attention to how much water you are giving those tomato's. I figure that you did not poke holes in the bottoms of those feeder troughs, there for the water will not be able to drain from them and will cause root rot.
Thanks Wilbur, but the Homewreckers Association would frown upon that I fear!
Hey Jon- I use a wooden version of these that I built and covered in 2x4 welded wire. The premise is that as the tomatoes grow the branches that grow into the cage are covered in mulch with then turns them into roots for the plant (much like when initially planting them I lay them down burying all but the top couple of inches of the plants and the leaves/branches that I bury do the same thing). This not only provides a much greater root system to access the nutrients of the mulch you put in the cage but it also provides additional support for them. I don't have to stake them nearly as much using this system. Your hog feeders could do the same thing with some holes cut in the sides. One word of caution (which like most things in my life I learned the hard way! ::)) I only add mulch enough to bury the branches as they grow larger. The first year I filled them with mulch and then had to try to "weave" the branches into the cages which did not work so well. Much easier if you can just "help" the branches into the cage and then cover them with mulch. It also makes it easier for watering as I just water the cages not the plants themselves. Dunno if its worth the effort to cut a bunch of holes in what you have but figured I would mention it.... cuda kill two birds with one stone and get a couple of piglets....they will turn everything post haste. And then go in the freezer for safekeeping! :D
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
pork chop?
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Either yr all slacking or you have all done nothing? LoLThis morning I spent arguing with a ornery pickup again *Patch After temporarily winning the argument of man VS Np205 I went on to more interesting things. I mowed again, which was relaxing save for hitting a steel fence post that materialized out of nowhere to mess up some blades. I was smart, and had old worn blades on for just such a surprise so...I changed to the new blades. I then washed my Exmark and jumped on the 4020JD for some retro bush whacking a few miles of dicthes. That accomplished killing the rest of the day and due to looming dark clouds and weather service promises of baseball hail and other such fun, I came home. I have now contributed nothing useful to a few threads, and intend to head out to the shop and try and accomplish something that seems project orientated. (likely prep a Np 205 to replaces patches metal filing filled version) I even brought my ear plugs to guard against hail noise on the steel roof.
I guess he didn't get the job,,,,,,,,,,I got some of the same adds, the BAR for 120K is just right!
