    Thank you! This is exactly what I've been looking for! My soil is extremely high in nitrogen, and I've had a terrible time finding information on natural sources of potassium and phosphorus. All my root crops have MASSIVE greens, then there's just nothing below the surface. There are pine needles everywhere around me here in western Washington, so that's perfect! And here I've been told they're bad for the soil😊

    If you used them in very high amounts as the sole soil amendment for a long time, it would tend to throw things out of whack. But pine needles are good for the soil.

    Do you find it easier to produce the charcoal in a deep pit versus spread out on the surface? It seems like a good idea that can be used to limit the flow of oxygen, and then the pit can also hold water when you quench it.

    It's much more controllable which leads to significantly higher efficiency in production. And yes, I'd say it's easier after digging the hole.

    Fermented grain can have a soured smell or an almost sweet smell, but it's not what you'd immediately call foul. Spoilage smells like when food goes quite bad in the refrigerator.

    what is absolutely amazing here, Is that I don't know How many different people this fellow listens to? But I can tell you this If you listen over and above the BS Coming out of his mouth you can hear the Poppin and Snapping In the stove Behind him Moisture and sap in the wood, I assume to be pine wood as he seems to believe that's the best thing to burn, Dried pine wood Burns fast And hot Thereby producing less bTU's Then hardwood. Those dealers who sell firewood Sell pain Because it is cheap for them to Acquire Thus giving them a high profit margin. As a former firefighter I will tell you Pine wood Not thoroughly seasoned Is extremely dangerous to burn In an indoor stove or fireplace. Buyer beware.

    Any wet wood plugs chimneys. Pine burns hotter, but also faster. It has less BTUs per cubic foot, but more per pound. It's not best, but it'll do if you have it. I personally grow hybrid poplar for firewood. It grows more BTUs per acre per year.

    When it's younger, leaves under 10 inches, I cook it like spinach. When it's more mature, I use it very sparingly because it gets quite high in oxalates, which makes it quite bitter but also apparently good for your heart.

    I wonder if we should have some Woodstove classes that actually demonstrate the process then beginners get hands on learning. I mean in school they teach us how to bake cookies and mathematics but heat especially in Northern climates should be essential. The process can be overwhelming and fearful to newcomers as we hear stories of chimney fires by even by experienced wood stove owners. Chainsaw accidents. I bought a woodstove for my garage so I can get a better understanding of how it actually works coming from a town that has natural gas to living in the country, I have become confident with a pellet stove but would like to graduate to a wood stove in case of power outages. Thanks for the tips!

    The Ortho uses the same ingredients and states that it's not for use on vegetables grown for sale. There's something else in it besides sulphur I'm guessing. Sulphur in much stronger concentration is used to acidify soil for blueberries yet it's perfectly safe.

    Here's the thing. Brassicas like slightly sweet soil. In other words, on the salty side. Guess what slugs don't like? Sweet soil. So if you had laid down lime before the fabric, you may not have had a serious problem with slugs.

    Chickens in the garden. That's the way ancestors did for centuries to save vegetables, This is the way I went, and it works 200% Fox problem ? Dog solution. Sure slugs LOVE those tarps : cover from sun and predators. If you want to counter without chickens and without chemicals, go Phasmarhabditis hermaphrodita Nematod worms that just kill slugs, with no any side effect. Effective, cost effective. Perfect if you also grow strawberries etc. I do use coffering boards to build the rows, pretty much no weeds as boards stops most roots and they last years while even providing a feeding path for chickens.

    Plant BURN is caused by salts. Salts are humectants, they bind water to themselves. Salts will draw the water right out of a plant -- causing "burn". All salts do this.

    Been dealing with cutting and splitting 2 wet large post oaks trees and a large white oak tree that blew down across my road in a wind event. Made a couple of wedges out of a large white oak limb. The wooden wedges were game changers. Really hard blows with 4lb hammer would cause the metal wedges to bounce out. Medium blows would make slow progress. A few times made a groove with a chainsaw and used the wooden wedges.

    I do coppis for sheep fodder. I have lots of spruce and birch for firewood so i usually use the coppiced wood for hugels. But i must admit after a few rough winters of chopping loggs, i am leaning on starting to use thiner wood that doesn't need to be chopped. Hmmm. Some are of the oppinion that the heat value is less, but then again if the work load is over half then so what, i burn more wood...

    When using heavy (lots of compost) potting soil, you need to be careful of overwatering. Only water when it's fairly dry. And if you're using trays, don't let standing water build up in the tray bottom.

    I usually grow around 200 plants myself. The labor of a greenhouse adds up quickly. Cutting wood and keeping the stove going day and night, maintaining a consistent temprature through ventalation and a hot fire, daily watering, fertility management, and waking up in the middle of the night to re-stoke the wood stove on all the cold nights. Not to mentoin that someone has to keep an eye on the temprature 24/7. It's a time consumer.

Last 2 times I used it, which was days after staining, it smelled like Kerosene majorly, and left a light haze in the air. Upon finding your video, the fact that I had stained a table in here on 2 different occasions, explained the odor. I've taken the face off, blew out the burner well. Wiped everything down, all clean and shiny. Just fired it up, and smelling the air its giving out above it, still smells of kerosene. Havent had it running long yet (10 mins) if the odor should continue, any other suggestions? Not poisonous, right? I've got a nice blue flame with minimal flames of orange. Appreciate any intel. Will be the last time staining/painting out here with it running, thats for sure.
