School starts here on Wed
My experiment was to put some potatoes from the store that were squishy and sprouted like crazy into grow bags with just loose straw that I collected from the senior prank where they spread hay every where in front of the school. They seem to be growing well.My corn is sprouting! Yay!
Oh, forgot to share the results of my potato experiment. I saw this online and thought I'd try it. Instead of planting in a normal raised grow bag, I made a tall basket from plastic chicken wire. Then I used dead leaves and a handful of compost. I added more dead leaves as the plants sprouted and grew. Added about a cup of compost after a month or so.
Anyway, everything grew REALLY WELL They actually grew BETTER than all of the grow bags I've planted... However, I made one miscalculation.... The ANTS pretty much ate the potatoes.... I was left with empty shells.
Technically, tomatoes now need an added acid..lots of modern tomatoes lack the acidity to safely water bath can..I’ve done all kinds of canning, it’s best to follow the USDA, FDA and your local Agricultural Extension sites etc for official recommendations as to how to can individual things..but yes, generally things that are vinegar based are water bath canning safe..Water bath is when you fill a pot (with something on the bottom to keep the jars from touching) with enough water to cover the jars by at least an inch. Add a lid, and away you go. It is okay for acidy food like tomatoes.
They are sweet little hoppers. I've tried several different recipes and the one I like best so far is German style, marinated in red wine and vinegar overnight then slow cooked in a Dutch oven the next day. Next I want to try precooked in moisture then finished on the grill.These four are about 5 weeks old. Not sexed (or so I was told). May have to take them back to auction if all boys, or might try our first meal of rabbit.
Just straw and no soil at all? Please do keep us updated. Not that I'd be able to copy that, the slugs and snails here would take it as an open invitation to make it a commune.My experiment was to put some potatoes from the store that were squishy and sprouted like crazy into grow bags with just loose straw that I collected from the senior prank where they spread hay every where in front of the school.
