Comments (2)Fabulous, thanks! The info is greatly appreciated. Now I can rest easy. This is exactly why Gardenweb is just the best place on earth for these kinds of questions. :-)...See MoreDo I REALLY need to rotate crops?
Comments (19)Hi all,I just love this forum. I've only been gardening for maybe the past decade in the place i'm at,but i've found that with tomatoes it is best to rotate.In my old garden(which was 20' by 20'),I would just move the mater patch to the next quadrant of the garden.I grew tomatoes, peppers, cukes, broccoli,cauliflower and lettuce. This year I've gone to a raised bed with amended soil, and its working out just fine. Each year in the old garden I would amend heavily with compost. My compost was made of leaves,grass clippings,sawdust,newspaper(shredded),coffee grounds,straw,just about any fruit rind garbage,a bit of topsoil, and very little cow manure.This yrs compost will go into the garden next spring,(08).It has worked very well, although I never seem to make enough of it.I personally think that the only real element that needs close watch when re-planting is nitrogen.Tomatoes draw a lot of it for growth. You said your plants are on 6 ft squares,so you may be safer that most of us because of spacing. By the way: I used to hail from Montgomery co. in Pa.the ONLY time I miss all that heat & humudity is when I look at my tomatoes....See MoreSuggest A Wall Covering That Is Non-Combustible (Fireproof)?
Comments (31)earth_pal, I would appreciate a chance to ask you about your kiln installation. You don't have an email link on GW, but could you possibly send me an email via my GW email link? Alternatively, I'm going to start a thread in the pottery forum in the next day, in case you ever check in there. davidro1, I've sent you an email. Thanks. riverspots, I've looked at the total BTU output because that matters for venting and heating up the room. I see your point that the temperature of each adjacent combustible object matters for ignition. Those temps won't get anywhere near that high as there will be nothing combustible within at least a couple of feet (other than my legs). The nearest cabinet will be appx 24'' away. If I did put a ''landing space'' counter next to the range, it would be a small steel filler table. For reference, ignition temp of wood is >420F and of grease/oil is appx 700F. brickton, growlery's point that smooth surfaces are easier to keep grease-free makes a lot of sense to me. The brick would work for a woodstove, but (from the research I've done) you still need concrete board/fire board and an air gap behind that....See MoreFireproof undies....part 2, does this work?
Comments (25)autumn: That is actually a good idea. I wonder what it would do to the exterior and the upstairs? ...hmmmm. I'd actually prefer my living room closed off from the kitchen and dining entirely (but I know that I'm in the VERY small minority of people who think so) so......it's open. DH said that we could do a cased opening between the living and dining to separate the space a bit. chicagoans: Do you think there would be room for trash under the sink? Thanks for the idea! :) cpartist: Think big picture first and work your way down to the smaller details. That is good advice. Switchback staircase is a really good idea, I'll talk to DH about it. I know everyone thinks it's lame, but I love that sitting area upstairs, I really think we would use it. Vith: That is very good to know! We have a pocket door in our MB that didn't want to replace with another door. Thanks a million. Our draftsman had warned us about pocket doors as well. stephja007: I am laughing so hard right now! I wish there were a "love" button for your post. Setting: my Mom's kitchen table Easter weekend Me: "Tra la la, look at our new house plan isn't, it sooooooooo perfect? except for the ugly exterior??? Mom: "Some sort of snarky remark about how far away the bathroom is from the guest bedroom." My sister: "Well, we've all been doing it at your house for the last 40 years!" My mom's house is over 100 years old: *main entrance through the kitchen *5 kids upstairs *stairs land in the kitchen *bathroom with a shower behind kitchen (see where I'm going.....) lol There is another bathroom upstairs but it only has an enormous old tub. so.....Yes, we've all been "caught" traipsing nude up the stairs in our bathrobes or towels with towel turbans on our head. And! We still continue to do so! LOL. My brothers and sisters and I get together at my Mom's house a few times a year and my own family visit's quite a bit (she is 4 hours away) So, Mark....maybe turnabout is fair play? ;-) I really am kidding. I really do see her point (as well as all of yours). BUT when I say muddy kids....I mean it. This is my DD about 3 years ago in the garden at our old house. She and her brother made this and called it the "boilet toilet" lol....See MorePeke (Patti)
