Plowing when wet - how compacted and how to fix?
Comments (5)Yeah, I looked at my seed packets (only 3) and have bush type snow/snap peas. Problem is the deer - and I'm not going to fence that area off this year. So I'm thinking potatoes? Hope the deer won't eat those down to the ground like they would peas or beans. He didn't disk the whole area - just a strip (10 ft wide? by maybe 100ft long) where they had pulled out the brambles and roses. Thing is, I don't know how much sun it gets b/c of overgrown orchard to the south, woods to the west (very close). Gets some morning/noon sun. I should have taken a shovel (or a piece of rebar if I could find 1) out to test for compaction but it doesn't look like he disked very deeply - though with the excavator running over it last fall it could have been compacted already. My uncle came out when I was out there, said no to DH's sunflower idea (if there's even enough sun for that), said the bears would be all over them. I didn't think we'd get any sunflower seeds anyway with the birds and squirrels, didn't know bears liked them though. I thought maybe pumpkins would be fun, we haven't had space to put them before, but need to get soil tested and I'm worried about hauling water back there (it's a pain to haul water to the tomatoes, and these are twice as far and less accessible). I guess if they dry up and die no big deal - DD would be thrilled to get just 1. But will deer ravage those? I know people usually grow them (and corn, etc.) in unfenced fields but usually plant so many they can deal with some losses. DH likes turnips - what about turnips? Again, don't those need a lot of water so they don't get woody and bitter? Any ideas? The pH is probably about 5, and I don't know how much OM is in the soil since it was all chewed up and turned over (though not too deeply) by the excavator and disk harrow, our soil is sandy and may be compacted, lots of rocks, not sure how deep it is (though I think the big vein of granite is to the south), and no irrigation, morning/early afternoon sun only. Perfect, right ;-)?...See MoreDrystack Fireplace gone wrong- how to fix it?
Comments (40)I do like it, but....I do think the firebox looks small. I'd say it needs another 12" of total width and height at least. Could they just remove the stone back up to the mantle height, put in a bigger and raised firebox, and then re-finish it off?...See MorePorch post bottom rotten, how to fix it, please
Comments (8)Thank you all, I think the post is structural, and made of a peice of 4X4 wood log, the base is IN the tile with skirt/trim cover around. It looks to me the trim cover around the base was NOT sealed well or went bad overtime, the water was trapped in. With all your suggestion, I guess I shall first open the trim to check out how bad the wood is, if it were not too bad, I could use Abatron (liquid wood) to seal it. Totally, there are four posts, the other three seems ok, to prevent water from going under the base, Could I caulk the base around, like those bathroom silicon caulk ? Thanks a lot !...See MoreHow to fix or replace LG oven control board
Comments (5)An alternative is wait for a used or NIB item to come up on eBay ... depends on your patience and how common is the item, and your affinity for keeping the range. There are services that repair appliance control boards. Membrane touch-button panels are much less common to be handled but I found this on a search. There may be others. They advise contact in advance to confirm a given item can be handled. The Repair Shack...See MoreHU-724751453
