Asparagus - how many stalks should be left to grow wil
Comments (7)The stalks are(were) very good size. some of them bigger than the ones they sell in the store. I thought I should let the first one grow into fern so it feeds the later ones but reading your post, I realize I was wrong. This morning I saw another one that was the size of a pencil - pretty thin compared to the ones that came out last month but I cut it off and ate it and it was delicious. I think I will do what you suggested forpityssake and cut down the grown fern. They are the largest I have seen. More than 5 feet tall and still growing. My asparagus plants are righgt next to compost area and gets mostly indirect sun because of the fence on two sides except during summer it gets may be 2 hours of direct sun....See MoreCurioser and curioser!
Comments (2)Hi Jen, thanks for the warm welcome! :) I know what you mean about lighting and room. The only windows at my house at north and south facing, and two of the three north-facing rooms are other people's bedrooms so I can't take them over! And oh, the hoya flowers are heavenly. Mine have yet to bloom, but I ran across a site with a lot of photos. Just makes me green with envy! ;) Here is a link that might be useful: Hoya flower photos galore!...See MoreTwo 'out of curiosity' questions
Comments (2)Thanks; I'll probably do just that. :) In case anyone is curious, I've put the basic schematic that I had in mind (very simplified!) online: http://www.daughtersoftiresias.org/images/watering.png Basic idea is that, if there's only one "nutrient" in play at a time, you can reconcentrate it with reverse osmosis (any temporary supersaturation will recondense around the undissolved nutrients; they're effectively seed crystals). The water that passes through goes back into your water tank, your nutrient tanks remain at 100% saturation, and so the system can measure out proper mixes every time it changes nutrients. The diagram skims over some things (pressure regulation, freshwater intake, backflow through the filters to keep them clean, wiring and control, etc), and isn't to scale at all, but it's a general idea of what I was thinking of. I'd have to look into how well it applies to the general case, though... salts with chlorine ions wouldn't take well to RO, for example. Probably want a sediment trap, and might need to add an activated carbon filter before the pump to filter out organics. Once again, thanks for the feedback :)...See MoreHow many days before closing should we move out?
Comments (48)So...... as the seller, I am expected to have a completely empty house, with ALL the work that entails, for the final walk through? What, may I ask, is the point of a walkthrough? I would assume it is one last check to make sure nothing is wrong, as subjective as that sounds, before closing. That being the case it would appear that I the seller am burdened with hoping the all powerful buyer doesn’t back out the day before closing after secretly finding out they’re pregnant. Thus, leaving me with the work of moving back into the house paying movers for nothing and then resetting the home for showings. Forgive my vulgarity but this sounds dumb as hell....See More- 11 days agoBrandon Garner thanked sultry_jasmine_nights (Florida-9a-ish)
