Hubby and I viewed the kulu...that is simply beautiful. Plus the safer for fingers is always a plus at least with me in the kitchen. We do like the notion of using less electricity/the green thing/so thank you very much.
Knuclehead was kind enough to bring his to our visit Saturday. You will not be disappointed. I also ordered one the next morning. It is a machine. From all the videos I have watched trying to decide I still expected a fluffed up version of a paper shredder. It IS NOT! Heavy and solid. It is kinda noisy, I imagine it uses straight cut gears instead of helical.I just ordered the powermatic
The pasta maker I have is from Italy and is good but the motor I bought was cheap and stripped in one use. Has plastic gears. Some say to use dry leaf and I used medium case ones. If to wet they wont shear correctly .... if to dry they wont pull into machine. You can use a dremel and score the rollers and they grab better.
Miss Rose,
You pretty well missed the growing season here in the USA but there is so much to learn about blending and all that your winter will be over before you realize it
Even if you grow most of your own there is always that weird or select one that they offer here that gets your lips to smackin... heh heh
I did get a pipe. a churchwarden, but have only used it when I want to stick it to the man by not using a taxed paper tube.
I wanted to look like Gandalf but wound up looking like Barney FifeChurchwardens ROCK...such a cooling smoke
There are so many soil testers to chose from, can you recommend a good inexpensive one? .
Here in Connecticut the state AG will do one test a year free. Just bag your sample and send it to them plus what you are trying to grow. Maybe Maryland has a similar service?There are so many soil testers to chose from, can you recommend a good inexpensive one? We are aware that greens add nitrogen to the soil and do that as a matter of course. We don't till bc we love our earthworms (in abundance here) but certainly can do deep digging. We are also doing some raised beds..
Not breaking new ground so to speak. The area was once a tribble yard (guinea pigs/tribbles from the old star trek episode trouble with tribbles if anyone recalls) and rabbits. They have all long since been moved to a larger area. The soil is so rich opportunistic plants thrive each year. Hubby has friends who are organic growers (produce) teaching him the ins and outs of soil building so I'll pass this info along.
What didya do with all them wabbits.
What do you do with animals who have outlived their stay at your place?Actually I have great respect for meat folks who humanely raise and slaughter/hunt too.
