Workhorse's 2013 bacca patch

[DGBAMA]

at least you thought ahead enough to not use green leaves. lol.

 

[Boboro]

After the 1st. time I did that Ill never do that agin. No matter how good you think it mite be . Don't stick a green leif to ya face.

 

[chillardbee]

Man...after this year...I'll try to touch green leaf as less as possible. Next year I'm going to invest in a couple of boxes of latex gloves because I'm so sick of getting baccy goo all over my hands, face, hair, beard, and everthing else I touch after string.

But that a good pic there Boboro, dressing up as tobacco man for halloween eh!

 

[Boboro]

I smoke a lot but if I pick leaf all day Ill get a little sick feelin. If for some reason you want to stick a green leaf to your face it will burn like hell an you cant get it off.

I "wash" first with some dry dirt. It seems to get most of it off, soap gets the rest.

 

[Boboro]

Never touch your eyeball when strangin backer.Youll need narcs. and beer to get over it.

The cheap LA's Totally Awesome orange spray from the everything's a dollar store, is the best bacca gum cleaner I've seen. You just spray it on and the black bacca gum just runs off. I start at the hands then spray the arms. You don't even have to rub. Today I cropped half the backyard patch. My wife and I loaded and emptied the wagon four times. Tomorrow I start stringing and if I finish, I'll crop the other half.

I use head and shoulders to take tobacco gum off my hands .
I have also used tomatoes and they work good .
Also like Leverhead said powder some soil on your hands before starting to work . I do when topping my commercial crop .

 

[workhorse_01]

Do y'all have one of those dollar stores near you? The stuff's called LA's Totally Awesome Orange. No rubbing just spray on. BB did you get my message back the other night?

 

[BigBonner]

I sure did .

Dollar stores are plentiful around here . I will have to try and find the orange spray LA and give it a try . Stripping season is almost here and my hand will gum up .

 

[workhorse_01]

Seriously, what a site to the eye +++++++

 

[AmaxB]

Can I say WoW too!
I have to get one of those Workhorse Growing Machines..... I'll rent it to folks here on the forum and retire after one season...
If I couple it with a BB Topping Machine the possibilities would be endless.

After feeding the two of them, you'd be lucky to break even.

I sent mine to one year of college and it came back . A lot of money invested and it still works the same .
