my compost has been hot for 3 weeks...what should I expect?
Comments (5)Turning it will speed up the composting. You'll know its done when the temp is the same as the outside temperature. I'd quit adding stuff, and just let the microbes do their own thing. I think you should turn it fairly often, so the heat doesn't just decompose stuff in one place....See MoreColumbus Week Acquisitions & 'cuttings' you got/made
Comments (19)I scored at Kmart too...but it is no longer columbus week, couldn't find a Acquistion thread for this week but since we are talking Kmart goodies. I got 4 12" terra cotta sauces(a mere 40 cents each, 15 8" terra cotta saucers 10 cents each, 6 4" terra cotta saucers 10 cents each(I was thinking this size would make perfect coasters). 4 jars of red glass gems 30 cents each(who clearances red items out before christmas?I have plans for red gems for borders around some mosaic kitchen trivets I am making so that was a perfect find) Two of those ceramic vases(1 is bigger than the other $2 and $1.50) but not in shades of blue but tans and reds and browns. I was going to partially mosaic the big one and likely either break the smaller and use the shards or mosaic over it(the smaller one isn't very pretty). I also picked up some big glass vases for $2 each, one clear and one amber. I thought I would do gog using scrap I have, using colored for the clear vase and clear glass for the amber vase. Also a few 8" high black glass vases and a few 9" white glass vases $1 each, not sure what to do with them yet...I over bought I think but the stuff was so cheap and christmas is just around the corner it won't go to waste they will either make great mosaic forms or make great gifts(likely they will make great mosaiced gifts). :) p...See MoreThe Hoya gods smiled on me twice this week
Comments (8)I too feel the hoya God's have smiled on me recently. My best friend passed away a couple days ago (She was 24, so am I) very unexpectedly. I have truly been having a terrible time dealing with it, but only 2 days after Heaven gained an angel I was doing my usual rounds and found one single bloom on my Bella. I didn't even notice she was in bloom but usually when she is all the buds open in the same day. This one little flower staid open for 4 days almost as if in tribute to my dear friend before the others followed suit. Then today I was doing rounds again and noticed my OLDDDD carnosa (I call her Betty) has little buds on some of her peduncles! Nice find btw! What a beautiful full plant :)...See Morewhat made me smile today
Comments (8)It has been a later start than usual. It is about a 2 weeks difference than the other years. Unfortunately, the growing season doesn't extend. I catch up with you guys and it seems to end around the same time. But I will make a note and see for sure in the fall. Ken, I would do a happy dance ,but my neighbors already have asked me if they should call an ambulance when they see me laying down on the lawn taking pictures. Everyone around me is in their 80's or plus. I entertain them enough as it is. Saija, I love your crinkles! :)...See Moreliira55
