    You should be showing how to cook the potatoes. You need to cook them before the mashing stage, then usually cool them on trays or wracks. You want to cool them down as quick as possible. So they do not continue to cook. The potatoes are the Star of the show. But if you overcook them they will disintegrate. Don't mix them vigorously like you are doing. You will break the potatoes apart. Pickles don't belong in Potato salad, but I think you are using mustard pickles? Yellow Mustard is the best. Not Mustard pickles.

    To be clear- white distilled vinegar just means that it was made from distilled ethanol (alcohol) and is most likely distilled from corn but not necessarily. Unlike the other vinegars made from fermented and undistilled products it will not have flavor from the corn.

I bought male and female Dave Wilson Nurseries Pistachio trees from a guy running a Tree Nursery out of his house in San Jose. My male tree has put out pollen, but my female tree has not produced flowers. I would like to try grafting. I am told that you can’t graft pistachio trunks, you have to graft buds. But do I graft female buds to a male tree, or the other way around?

    I'd suggest that you paint your reservoirs to stop light from getting to the nutrient solution. One of the nutrients that I use is called Rhizotonic and that's an algae based root stimulator. I don't think algae is something that you need to worry about... but it can gunk up your tubes.

    Trees. That's what you need for drainage. Make a swale and burm (doesn't have to be much) with trees in a line and you can start directing and slowing the water. I recommend nut trees. Hazel's my favorite, personally.

    That's my chicken/dog nightmare as well. Can't let them out or the dogs will get them. I'm going to invest in some electrified poultry fencing, I think. That way they can come out and the dogs will leave them alone. It also looks like you'd have good luck with swales around the beds in order to catch and the water. What do you think?

    • @foodforestfolderol
      @foodforestfolderol Рік тому

      My neighbor locked him up, so that particular situation is on hold for now. I'm going to be doing some interior fencing (mainly to keep the velociraptors out of my garden) and that will rather limit the chickens free range area. At this point I have them free ranging dawn to dusk and they manage OK. I haven't had a chance to do the contour lines yet. I don't have access to a laser level, so it's going to be a while before I can figure out where water features need to go. Swales are in the plan, tentatively.

    Should the plants do die back, you can also try keeping the scrapes "alive" as you would with fresh cut flowers in a vase of lukewarm (NOT cold) water and keeping it sunny outdoors. REPLACE the water every three days to prevent too much bacteria/fungus growth as well. If the scrapes STILL dying back, you can chop it upwards to the still green portion to keep it alive a bit longer as long as you still have viable green remaining.
