Transplanting My Fig Starts
Nothing but a long ramble as I transplant my fig starts. This was a bit of an experiment, so I'm pretty pleased with how they came out.
A big apology for the poor quality of the sound. First, my wife was mowing on the hill above me during the first part. Second, there is a buzz/hiss in the audio I don't know how to remove. Third, I have no idea what I'm doing here, so what I get is what I get.
The technique I used for starting the cuttings came from this video:

I didn't follow his process precisely, but it's pretty much what I did and it worked great.
The large pots I used are these:

They are currently unavailable, but they should give you the idea. And if they do come back in stock they seem to be pretty substantial and seem like they should last.

DeWalt Ratcheting Screwdriver review

My thoughts on the DeWalt DWHT69233 ratcheting screwdriver with 12 bits that I purchased a little while ago.
Stapleton International Airport 1993 2020
Переглядів 2,1 тис.4 роки тому
Just a timelapse from the sky. When I traveled for work I flew through Stapleton a lot, it was probably my favorite airport for some odd reason. I got curious about what had happened with it since the new Denver International Airport replaced it. So I looked and then made this.

Lol that was the wildest ear plug placement I've ever seen. Who taught you how to do that? LOL and don't Yank on her so hard. she doesn't like that. also, I do believe you are using a too much of a light duty tiller for your job there sir. Those are meant for ground that has already been somewhat tilled.. meh 🤷♂️
Found one of these for $35.00 at a yard sale, replaced the fuel lines and filter and it runs like a beast!
Awesome deal!
Was gifted this screwdriver. I wouldn't wish such a bad gift on my worst enemies.
China has but one thing on there mind. Making money. It would probably cost them 5 cents out of every 25 pumps to chang color's. A lot of manufacturers don't realize we older folks don't see as well.
We love ours! Great product for sure! Highly recommend to all
It's not meant for that kind of soil
To many long boring commercials

This is the worst tool I've ever bought. Needed a long ratcheting screwdriver because I was changing every door knob in our house and needed the length to get around the knobs. I was able to do the job because I only needed one tip. Ratchet worked fine but changing the bits is a nightmare. I get mad every time I see it in my toolbox. I have seriously thought about throwing it away. Only reason I don't is it's a little bit longer than my SATA and Husky ratcheting screwdrivers. It's my last resort tool. Only gets used if nothing else will do. It should be a do everything tool. Edit- I put all the extra bits in a Altoid tin and keep it next to the driver. A disgraceful solution, but better than getting mad everytime I see it.
What do I do if it’s medium size rocks in my soil
your soil looks like it needs some compost or nitrogen. I have the same situation. I tested my soil with a kit and It was low of Nitrogen and phospher.
Honestly, my soil is low on everything except clay and rocks. I keep working compost into it, but it takes a lot and a long time for such a large garden. (just under 3,000 square feet)
I had my honda tiller for around 25 years and it still runs great but i am having trouble with the clutch this year so i ordered a new clutch $30.00 what a little work horse i have a very large garden and it got a work out over the years.
Dude that’s so loud
Stapleton was once one of the biggest airports in the world, and now it's completely gone. That baffles me, it's fascinating.
It was one of my favorite airports. Very strange to see it go away like that.
@@timdouglass9831 from what I've read, it was really well-functioning at the end, apart from in poor weather. So basically, a new N-S runway would've fixed it?
@@trr9230 IIRC they needed a new and longer runways. Also wanted to move farther out because of noise. But it's been a long time and what I recall isn't entirely reliable.
@@timdouglass9831 anyway it blows my mind that an airport this big and iconic is gone forever. Imagine LaGuardia, Schiphol or Haneda being demolished. Crazy. It's just mind-blowing.
Great video, you're the first person I saw to talk about the magnetic bit holder. I have a cheap toolmaster brand non-ratcheting multi-bit screwdriver that I got from a grocery store of all places and it has the strongest magnet I have yet seen in a multi-bit driver. I've gotten so spoiled by it that every other multi-bit driver I've tried just hasn't lived up. With this dewalt driver it seems like there is a magnet in there, but it just isn't strong enough to hold a screw through the bit. What I've found helpful is that because the shank can be removed I could use a magnetic multi-bit adapter from my Milwaukee impact driver bit set which has a much better magnet. So far my bit holder has held up, although I find I need to remove the shank and use the end of it to really get the bits to slide into the retention clips.
i remember when i used to drive under the runways and the old skylights and the smell of jet-fuel at Stapleton, my old home airport
what is this song called??
All I have in my notes is "Konstantin Kovalsky theremin 1960". It seems to just have been something I had on my computer that seemed old enough not to generate a copyright violation. Of course now that I've identified it more or less I guess that ship may have sailed.
found it! don't worry it doesn't have a copyright label on it, just looked it up
Weird, I have the same product but I have to fight it to get my bits out lol.
Maybe they've fixed it? I'd rather have them hard to get out than falling out.
Totally agree on all counts! Terrible purchase of my first Dewalt tool…
I wouldn’t have that thing 😂😂
Based on what? My opinion is based on a couple hundred hours of use where it has performed admirably doing all the cultivation on nearly 5,000 sq. ft. of garden every year. Please give a reason for your opinion.
@@timdouglass9831 I went back and watched some more of your video and I be honest I don’t have all day, just get a self propelled tiller, less work and faster, I think that thing was made for a small flower bed, it does have its place
@@markmark8866 Like I said, I use it for cultivation. I rotovate with the tractor then plant. The small tiller lets me keep rows closer together so I can fit more into the space and it's worlds faster and easier than hoeing, which is what I did before getting this. I haven't used my rear-tine tiller in years because it is too wide and forces me to plant more than twice as far apart. The Honda is a very durable and efficient tool in that role.
Works good while it lasted. After 2 hours of running it the Motor sounded funny and 30mins later it died, drained the oil and it looked like a Metallic Silver Cup of OJ. Engine damaged no doubt.
Honda makes some of the best small engines out there, so I think you are in the very small minority - unless, as happens more that most stores will admit, someone bought one and started it up before realizing it came with no oil in it so they cleaned it and returned it as unused for full credit. The store just puts it back on the shelf and the next guy buys it, puts oil in and runs it like normal, but the bearings and cylinder bore are already trashed from the previous guy. Still have to say it's a great tiller. I have well over 200 hours on mine - maybe more and it is still going strong.
@@timdouglass9831 I found out what caused the engine failure, it was a very lose Spark Plug.
@@lionsdejudah That's an odd one! Never would have guessed.
@@timdouglass9831 Picked up a used fg100 , non running for $25. Replaced$the carb, oil changed, cleaned fuel tank and replaced filter and hoses. Fired right up! Opened up the transmission, cleaned and inspected, some wear on brass gear but after assembly and greasing, works like a champ. I have a 18yo Gx22 weed trimmer and it still runs great. Will keep em running as long as I can.... Love these Hondas!
Nope no good to slow. I'm buyin a mantis
Buen dia.Lo compre.A las nueve am espero estar en camino a la chacra.700 dolares pague,muy caro en mi nacion,si me da el resultado que espero,el gasto es lo de menos.Abrazo.
I've had one for 2 yrs with no problems. What a beast.
This will be the 5th year for mine. Still running great despite being *very* hard used.
Thank you! You saved my money.
Where are you located with that clay soil? Just curious, I’m in central Texas and have hard clay here too.
This is the Willamette valley in Oregon, South of Portland. Most of the soil here isn't quite this hard clay, but there are pockets. I've moved a few miles away from where that was filmed and my soil here is more of a mix of sand, clay and rocks. See my follow-up video on the tiller to see that soil.
Did you use the tiller to remove the grass as well? I am thinking about purchasing one.
It won't really do much of a job on heavy sod, but if your soil is somewhat sandy and the grass not too thick (and cut short) you can chew it up.
Best way to get out the bits that get stuck? Cut or burn a hole in the bottom of the handle, that way you can re use the hole :) or prevent it totally by using an extender
I'm not buying this then...
Thanks I was just about to buy this.
I wish I had seen this before I purchased. I found your video in the hopes that someone could tell me how to make the bits stay, at least. Thank you for the review! It confirmed that I’m not the only one that dislikes this tool.
Have it. Package and idea seemed nice. Execution is a complete fail. Does dewalt not try out their own products? Ugh.
I agree with what you said, and I add the removable shaft does not have a lot of retention.
The old Stapleton airport tower is still standing.
That is very cool! Is it used for something or is it just sort of a monument?
@@timdouglass9831 it is now a restaurant called punch bowl social
thank you my freind. had this same one for a couple years now. sits in the junk drawer in my kitchen. it’s the last one I go to for small jobs as most of the bits, as you mentioned, fall out upon opening. . very very poor design. not cheap either. huge pain in the neck getting the bits back in as you know.
How much depth and width it will go inside the ground?
Cut width is about 10 inches/25 cm and you can remove the outer tines to go down to about 7 inches/18 cm. Digging depth will vary a lot depending on your soil, but in most soil it will dig about 6 inches/15 cm.
I am considering buying one of these. I have always used giant machines in the past but I am seriously downsizing my gardens now at my old age of 54. I have always had great experiences with Honda products from 1970s cars through 1980s up until my latest 2015 Civic SI. I have loved my Honda generators and outboard motors as well. I looked at a larger, rear tine Honda tiller but it is over $2500 and I just can't justify the expense for what it is that I am looking to do. Wish I could find something in the middle between this one and the very expensive model.
I have a tractor with a rotovator that I work the garden up with in the Spring. After that the little Honda does all the cultivating. If I had a smaller property I would probably rent a bigger rear-tine tiller each year to do the initial tilling and then do the rest of the season with the little one.
Buen día. Miré su video, varias veces. Me resultó interesante, y es el único video, que veo trabajar a la FG110 a full. Quería saber, lo veo ahí, pero me cuesta creer, si sirve para hacer canteros donde hay césped. Y su costo en su país. Desde ya muchas gracias.
Looks just my f clay soil planting is a bitch
Bit design is horrible, but I keep it in my bag.....just in case. Lol.
I have the same screwdriver, pretty similar assessment. Bits falling out the handle is a huge bummer, because the mechanism is quite stout and feels solid in the hand.
Price
I paid about $350 for mine a couple years ago.
My favorite new toy! It IS a little beast. Tried out my friend's Mantis and compared to the Honda, it being commercial grade, outperformed the Mantis. I am hard on tools.( have bent 2 nice mattocks and 2 shovels in 2 years lol. Too much mitochondria!). This Honda is tough and extremely gas efficient! Highly recommended...$350/12 months same as cash at dreaded home depot.
Got me one 2 weeks ago. We're engaged! Love this beast. Using only the 2 inner tines is sometimes better at breaking up very hard soil. Barely even sips the gasoline. Like vermouth in an extra dry. THANKS!
How much price money
I paid $350 U.S. for it several years ago.
Are the outer tines removable to make a narrower width cut?
Yes, although I have to admit that I've never done that, so don't know how well it works that way.
Very nice video. Well explained! Fantastic machine.
You are abusing that machine. It's a wonderful tool for loosening a growing bed. Its even good for tilling a small previous garden. Breaking hard ground is beyond it s capabilities. You could have at least wet down the ground a day before
Over revving it, you only need to give it enough throttle to keep it digging! The bar he removed is called a depth bar, and for his case it would have worked better with it still installed, he would not have had near as much of the tiller jumping around.
Actually I have to disagree on just about all counts. The tiller works best at full throttle, especially in hard dirt. This was just slightly softer than concrete. With my full body weight (250lbs) I could only put a shovel in about 3 inches. Likewise with the depth bar. Overall I've found it to pretty useless unless your soil is soft and free of rocks. I have a *lot* of time in with this tiller now and most of what I had figured out there in the first day is still true. The depth bar is a nuisance in my garden, because it prevents me from rolling the tiller to change the angle of attack as easily. As for the jumping around, pretty hard to stop that without adding a lot of weight. You trade mass for tine speed to make it dig effectively, but when it hits a rock or particularly hard soil it's going to bounce. In that soil I bounce the rotovator behind the tractor when it hits stuff. You may find things to be different, but I can't agree with your conclusions.
@@timdouglass9831 With the little engine screaming WIDE OPEN and the tiller tangs bouncing I'm more than certain that its a bit abusive, you need more throttle when the tiller tings are DEEP and stirring lots of dirt, in your case its only chipping away at the service which leaves the little engine pretty much free revving and not under any real load, now once you get some dirt piled in around the tiller tangs then the engine isn't free revving. But! Its your tiller, and its for sure your going to run it to suit yo as it should be I tilled yesterday for about two hours in back back yard that was filled in with gravel filled road side ditch dirt about 25 years ago and it was so PACK that nothing much of anything would grown in it, the tiller did what it was supposed to do and did it well at about half throttle, at lest at first until I got some dirt around the tangs. My comment is as much for others as you. For some like me these little tillers are really expensive @ almost $400.00 at the door with tax, so the little screaming engine dancing around with the tangs just chipping the surface makes me cringe in pain for the engine. Mine is brand new and I've had it going pretty hard for the past two days in hard dirt! I don't have ANY garden dirt of any kind. Thanks for the video!
@@mwv8408 Mine is quite a bit older and has probably close to 100 hours on it so I'm not too worried about longevity! Small motors produce power by RPM, and it doesn't hurt them to run at high speed for long periods of time. On that particular soil lower speed did absolutely nothing, it didn't even begin to cut into the soil so I used what worked and it seems to have done fine. As a general rule you wouldn't try to tear up that hard-packed a patch with a tiller like this - and outside of testing for ability I made sure the ground was damp and it was a lot softer - but it did the job, and that was impressive.
@@timdouglass9831 I've been a mechanic for most of the past 40 years. If these engines were govern that would be one thing, but they will over rev in certain conditions, like with mine. Throttle cable vibrated down through the nylon cable ties and started pulling the housing out of the lever housing causing the idle to increase, (shortening cable) so a full pull of the lever over revs the engine (I had to fix the cable on mine). So, unlike 2-cycle engines that produce max torque at a much higher RPM 4-strokes most time produce their torque a lower RPM . And we are coming to the same point! its not about tang rotation speed, nor MAX engine speed, its about enough power to get the job done, or enough throttle to get enough torque to not bog the engine, anymore is wasted and if things gets just a tad off at the throttle cable or the carburetor then it will allow the engine to over rev and become abusive to the engine. I've had weed eaters that do not over rev at full throttle and I run them full throttle, but my current one will over rev (SCREAM) so I apply throttle as needed to get the job done, and when I'm trimming heavy tall weeds the demand for power is greater, I throttle more. I hope my tiller last me the rest of my life, so I don't want to buy another one. Also, I process my on gasoline to remove all the ethanol from it so I only run ethanol free gas in my lawn equipment, which is maybe three gallon a year now. Again, thanks for your video's and sharing your views!
