Cutting my pre-formed liner for skimmer
Comments (3)You are nuts. ;-) Sealing anything to a preform is just asking to do it again and again. Though, if you wanted to set things up so that the preform would overflow into a box, you would have a similar skimming effect. Providing you have enough flow. Think of pouring iced tea into a glass, if you pour slowly, then no ice gets in the glass, pour swiftly and all floating stuff goes into the glass. Yes I think you need some sort of face plate on the pond side, though it should be flat and stiff, not thin and bumpy. Make sure you have enough slack in the liner under the opening, so the water doesn't pull the liner down, and away from your seal. Greg Your Pond Doctor...See Moreok to pre-prep parts of salsa?
Comments (18)Thanks all! Last night I processed 4 quarts of hot packed whole yellow tomatoes (garden peach) and 2 quarts of "green" whole tomatoes (not actually green as in not-ripe, but variety called green zebra). They are beautiful (although one didn't seal)! Today I am doing batches of yellow tomato sauce (made from garden peach and yellow heirloom), orange tomato sauce (made from Pineapple tomatoes and sungold cherry toms), and red tomato sauce (from cosmonaut volkov, black krim, roma and rose de berne). Should be a lovely rainbow of jars. This is addictive... By the way, my name is actually Rachel. Screen name cindylouwho came from the grinch (long story...). Again, thanks for everyone's help. This site is a savior. Rachel P.S. How do you keep your kids from eating your labor-intensive canned peaches while peaches are in season? Mine have already gobbled down all but one quart. As much as I love that they love them, I cringe each time it takes them about 2 minutes to inhale a quart that took me hours to peel, cut, pack and process......See MoreWhat's your favorite part sun/part shade bush/shrub?
Comments (6)Thanks to all. As for placement, I have several places, ranging from part sun to part shade to full shade, but I'm not looking at any deep shade areas right now. Some of my full shade areas are along the driveway and behave as a woodland edge, but the trees on the other side of the area make it dappled sun most of the day so it is shady. But, having some under canopy things right along that edge would be beautiful. Before this year shade=hosta. This summer the world of shade opened up and I'm so excited about all the options. I think I've also become very content with the "un-catalogue" appearance of plants. Before, the lusher and more prolific a plant/tree bloomed the better. Now I'm really seeing beauty in a tree that has more "zen" to it--branches reaching towards the light with fewer blooms, but with a beauty in the sparseness that adds shape, color, and variety to shadier areas. Add to that woodland edge plants here and there, like all those wonderful asters along the roadsides, and it gets even better. NH Babs, I have four Aralia 'Sun Kings' that I planted in August in strategic areas. I'm hoping that the way I've placed them creates both repetition and bright color. Can't wait for next year to see how they do! I'll be reporting on how tall they get given thymetodig's experiences in NH. One of mine is in full shade all day, meaning I don't think the sun hits it directly although it does good dappled shade. The other three are opposite each other with different sun exposure, so a comparison of those three will be enlightening. I'll respond more fully to all the suggestions later. Extremely busy couple of weeks right now!...See MoreKitchen island waterfall edge vs more seating?
Comments (34)Oh yes, lighting is very important for sure! I am using all LED there, and making sure that it will be 3000K throughout, so that it will be bright and warm. Going back to the island though, if I don't do a waterfall edge, is it worth building it up to a thicker edge? The cost is significant, but doable. But people are telling me that hardly anyone will notice the difference between 1.25" and 2" in the countertop thickness but myself.... so it's not worth the extra cost. What do you think?...See Moresleeplessinftwayne
