What do you do with your old mix?
Comments (27)I'm pretty sure that these people from the Huntington weren't making up science to fit their observations, Al. The person making stuff up is you withyour imaginary potting medium composition to fit your assumptions. I have found small pieces of perlite in pots after having sifted and washed the perlite. How do you explain that without breakdown or ad hominems? Many years is too long? I'm sure the folks at Disneyland might disagree. You might want to qualify that with a specific mix. Too long for pumice? Probably, but then why is that if not because of being broken down? Besides, the original issue dealt with adding medium to garden soil and an aversion to that because perlite doesn't breakdown. Something so friable as to be easily be crushed with finger pressure or mixer agitation will certainly breakdown in a cultivated garden bed or especially due to freeze/thaw cycles which can breakdown concrete. Or course we are talking mechanical breakdown not decomposition. But if someone wants to present some 'real science' proving that perlite doesn't breakdown, I would love to see it. For some reason, I think that claim probably falls in line right next to the 'sand doesn't hold water' myth....See Morehow do you sharpen your knives?
Comments (46)The initial Question was " how do you sharpen your knives." I think a lot have posted, to give some helpful and tech.info. Even if you want to keep doing the same way, which you might think is wrong, I would copy some of the info for future, just in case you might want to upgrade your knives. ????? - - - - - - - - - - - - - Has anyone seen the Kitchen Knives at Lowe's. They are made by " Kitchen Aid " and look pretty good. I lost my Paring Knife about a month ago, so while at Lowe's I bought one for $9.95. I liked the Design. There was a nice varity of other knives. Has anyone else seen them. ??? They were back near the Kitchen Cabinets. Here is the Paring Knife. It holds a good edge. I just touch it up with the steel. The blade is 3 1/2 inches long. It fits my hand well....See MoreHow do you store your knives? Knife drawer suggestions please?
Comments (15)I combined my regular silverware with my good knives in one drawer. This was easy to do as I have IKEA drawers which allow for whatever you want! I bought a Wusthof in drawer knife block which have been thrilled with (so glad to get rid of the one the counter one). I bought it on Amazon. There is also a modular version that is a bit more adjustable. Ditto everything Amberley said. It's like we have the exact same drawer! ;^) Wait--mine is a 30"; what size is yours? :^p...See MoreIf you love your knives, please share
Comments (30)Just a note that I believe that Irenekay's post above, which resurrected this two-month-old thread, is spam. She signed up the same day of her post, provided two links to the same website, and her message says the opposite of her link. Irenekay, if you are not posting spam, I apologize, but your post gives all indications of spam. Juliekcmo - my first post above (I think it's about the 8th post) did discuss limiting the number of knives to just a few that are necessary (and providing a couple of duplicates for SO's). I am glad that part of the theme of this thread has been to advise not to get full sets of knives, since you don't need so many, those sets are expensive, and typically come with knives you will rarely, if ever, use. As an aside, I feel the same way about cookware sets!...See MoreMaWizz
