wanted: no pressure people....but

I'm done shopping for my Swap Partner and I had a blast. I knew exactly what I wanted to get and then found the PERFECT last item yesterday!

I am so excited, but I'm waiting a bit to mail!

Michelle, I'm SO impressed.

I have two of my items bought and I know what the third item is. I need to pick it up in Victoria though so it will be sometime next week before I get back down there.

Low pressure drip on same zone as high pressure?
Q
Comments (4)
The 'no mixing sprinkler styes rule' doesn't have much to do with pressure, its about application rate and not having one section soggy while the other section is still too dry. Most drip sysems can handle 50 psi, if you're going to mix the zone anyway, I wouldnt bother with a pressure reducer unless your using some real cheap drip brand, it won't affect the amount of water coming out of the emmitters. It's easier to mix a zone with rotors than say spray heads. You can usually nozzle your rotors down so that less water comes out, nozzleing them up might not work, depends on how much of your availabe water is being used already. Drip emmitters also come in sizes. Usually .5, 1 and 2 gpm. really some testing is needed. How long do you usually run the lawn zone and how often? You'll need to choose an emitter size to water your shrubs in the same amount of time. There are also other styles of garden emitters that are individually adjustable, often you can shut them right off, but i find most of them put out a lot of water... if I have to mix a spray zone, thats what I typically use. Hope the rambling helped, I can clarify if it didn't!

pressure cooker vs pressure canner
Q
Comments (5)
You can cook in a pressure canner. Many of the bigger ones are made of aluminum, though, which is reactive, and you might not want to cook a highly acidic recipe in it. If you think you might be doing pressure canning a lot, you might want to consider WAFCO's All American line. They are built like a tank and will outlast you--your great grandkids will fight over it. Sorta pricey, though, but absolutely top quality. I had the 921, and gave it to a relative and bought the 930. The 921 was fine, but it could only process 7 quart jars at once; the 930 can process 14 quart jars at once, so it nearly doubled my efficiency. They are available at different internet outlets, with some (but not much) discounting. Here is a link that might be useful: wafco all american canners

Wanting more pressure & Hot water
Q
Comments (7)
I don't know how your plumbing is configured, but, I doubt you have separate pex distribution lines from your copper to pex manifold feeding your bathroom. If this is true, then your sinks in the bathroom are feed by the same supplies as the shower, and, your lack of hot water could be due to the hot water valve in your shower since your sinks work fine. Basically, the lack of hot water is due to a faulty hot valve since the cold shower has plenty of pressure as does your sink hot and cold.

want to pressure can dry beans and stock
Q
Comments (9)
Thanks annie... I'm starting to feel more confident about doing stock now that a couple folks have chimed in to the positive with that. Interesting you seem to have had bean problems that KatieC didn't seem to have... I'll start out with my cheaper beans before proceeding on, lol. Tom, you pressure can crushed tomatoes and Annie's salsa? I always WB my tomato products because they can be done like that, never considered doing them in the pressure canner. Does pressure canning them go quicker or better than WB canning? And you have reminded me that Grandma''s Chili Sauce was rather good when I made it a few years ago, maybe I should do a batch again this year. Probably some steak sauce too- but I WB those. Do you pressure can the chili sauce too- and if so, what pressure/timing/jar size do you use? TBH I don't have much interest in canning green beans- we just aren't huge canned green bean eaters in general for some reason. They are just... boring. Maybe home canned ones would be better, I don't think I've ever had home canned to compare. I tend to pickle them, or use them fresh or from frozen more often.

I do hope I have not let my partner without any info about me -- really, I think there is lots in the old threads and nothing has changed.

I saw some wonderful items in a darling gift shop. Now the problem is -- which three??

Tee-hee! I'm done, too! And I'm usually the last to mail!

I mailed my swap package today!

I was going to wait a bit to mail but with our home still under heavy construction, I just could not take the chance of the package having some kind of accident.

Package should arrive on Saturday if all goes well.

I have one item purchased, and the other ready to go in my kiln! Okay that's all I'm going to share.

Still trying to figure out a third item, but it shouldn't be too tough.

Got one item and ordered the other two yesterday. I should be right in the middle of the pack for shipping this time - not early, not late. I love the items I got. Soooo hard not to buy one of everything for myself!
