Best way to compost lots of bread?
Comments (48)EG, Annpat may have inhaled compost fumes, she has it backwards. Never, never, never, compost meat. Best to throw it somewhere a predator can get it but not in your bin. Put it on a tree limb, for a bird. If it goes in the bin you will just encourage them to figure out how to get in it and then you will have a mess. I believe there is an oath everyone who compost, takes against composting meat. There may be a federal agency that oversee is it as well. As far as the bread, that should be composted, don't fill your local landfill and deprive the wonderful bacteria and such in your bin a sandwich....See Morebest way to market honey? cost effective?
Comments (4)Was just wondering what you've been doing with all that honey for the past four years? Obviously if you could sell retail you'd see the highest profit margin. Another possibility would be to offer it to specialty stores and niche markets if you have the bottling capabilities. You can have labels made for each customer so they could offer it as their own "brand" Anytime You can be the one who is adding the value to the product, your profit margin will go up. As far as bulk selling,do a little research, join an association or state organization. The 2 buyers listed in ABJ are Leighton's Honey in Florida (863) 422-1773 and Pure Sweet Honey Farm (608)845-9601. There were 9 ads in American Bee Journal in the upcoming July issue advertising bulk honey for sale. There was also a number if you want to take out an ad. It's 888-922-1293. Hope this might be of some help to you...See MoreBest way to update a pine kitchen table
Comments (5)There's a product called Gelstain if you want to stain a darker color, or you could paint. I've done both, and can't say if one is easier than the other, but staining is a bit messier and you need to wear gloves. If you can make *that* decision, that's half the battle....See MoreIn what ways does honey affect breadmaking?
Comments (17)Thank-you for the explanation about the scaling on the website. I'm sorry I maligned a fictive editor! I was just trying to make the amounts match and thought the second addition was an error too. :) If there had been a single measure of honey and the directions had said "half of the honey" it would have been clearer and worked better on the scaling. Oh, well. Scaling a recipe you've never made can be dangerous even if you think through every ingredient. My mother's challah recipe, which I've made the most, and made for decades, makes three loaves, and it's much better to make three loaves and freeze two than to try to make it work for a single loaf. One thing to remember in baking bread is that recipes often fail the first time you make them, especially while you're developing expertise. There are so many variations in flour, kitchen climate and oven climate, that a recipe is really a starting point, not an absolute. I'd also follow the recipe exactly once to get a better idea of what it's supposed to be before changing the ingredients. After that, remember that when you make changes, you're not following the recipe, and you're relying on some very precise chemical and biological reactions not to care. Keep in mind that you're making an experiment, not a recipe, and that there are things that may be going wrong. I've been doing that almost weekly for the last year, and learning a lot from it about what reactions such changes bring, It's fun! But if your point is to make a good recipe and have a good loaf of bread, do start by actually making the recipe. I have all kinds of ideas of how to proceed and tried writing them out, but I realized I'm not expert enough to make them make sense. It sounds like it might be overrisen, underbaked, or perhaps baked at too low a temperature. Do you have an oven thermometer? Re soaking, if you're trying to adjust the nutrients of the whole wheat, you should do at least 8 hrs. and with some acid (I found a jar of vitamin C crystals easy to find and use a pinch of that, but normal kitchens acids will work). Adding extra liquid for it might have required a little extra baking too. I've found that even if a soaker seems very dry, when I mix everything together, it's fully hydrated and doesn't need an addition of water. This is true even when I knead the ingredients together by hand. My best advice is to decide on a few small adjustments, try again, and see what happens. :)...See Morelinnea56 (zone 5b Chicago)
