Who knew that this situation would work out my simple math?

I got the grains from Amazon and I pretty much went on price but I will be glad to give you a link to the ones I bought if you like. Think it was about $8.
The process reminds me of sourdough starter. Put them in milk to get them started growing. Pretty soon you have a nice sized clump and it’s just a matter of leaving them in the milk. Strain them out and the remaking liquid is kefir. I blend it with strawberries or blackberries for flavor.
I think it’s easier than yogurt so it should be a slam dunk for you.
Oh, I don’t use organic or low pasteurized milk as many recommend. Regular old milk from WM works for me.
Yeah a little bit probably. I’ve got plenty of other stuff that needs to get done around here but I am planning to take it a little bit easy this weekend.
I went out to the garden tonight and pinned some feed bags down around one row of tomato plants. It’s a bit of a nuisance, but from the looks of what I did around the cabbages it’s going to be quite effective at keeping the weeds at bay.
You might try contacting the FL DNR.
Or, if you're like me and prefer to avoid any unnecessary contact with the gestapo, you could girdle the stinky trees with a draw knife, then squirt some Tordon on the cut.
I’d rather not get the environazis involved! LOL!
It’s bad enough dealing with the hippies on the city level.
I like your idea.
So 8-900 was not a bad guess, right? I’ve been counting a long time.

yum.
Ask any Carthaginian! hahaha
So does boiling water . . . Smile!
I would think that boiling water would be much harder to trace to the “perp’ than any of the other “methods” LOL!
We’re getting there in southern Ohio. Another couple weeks and I’ll have plants in the ground. I have 18 tomato plants ready, still need to condition them to direct sun. Lemon boys (my favorite), Mr. Stripeys, Sun Sugar cherry tomatoes, a Cherokee Purple, and a Black Krim. I grew some Cayenne peppers from seed and their doing well. If I have nothing but Tomatoes, Peppers, Onions, and Okra I will be happy, maybe some cucumbers since they do so well in my garden.
You'll need a really good blender to grind up the dried peppers. I'm using an Omega 2500 which is a commercial machine. This unit has the power to grind chunks of asphalt. Dried peppers come out as dust. No chunks.
95 percent of our garden got started as seeds in early February. All the tomatoes and peppers have small produce, altho not quite ready. Two of the tomatoes fell over yesterday from the little bamboo sticks they were tied to.
Need to tie these up to the fence so they have something to grow on this summer.
Ha Ha - Yes you better be grateful for the rain! Hog all you can in as many containers as you have. LOL
Guilty Guilty Guilty LOL
Thanks, I can find it on Amazon, I’m sure. Do the directions come with it or where did you get those?
I’ll post a pic and let FR decide. hehehe
So what sort of feed bags did you use?
Tomatoes, green beans, corn, dry beans, onions and potatoes are big here. I also like to have fresh spinach, lettuce, herbs and lettuce. I really missed growing the tomatoes, peppers, and spinach indoors this winter, so I will try not to be such a slacker this fall, and get that stuff going for my indoor fresh winter produce.
We go through huge amounts of canned tomatoes, though last year, I just froze a bunch and use them however I need to rather than canning them - too hot!
The green beans come in soon enough, that I manage to can quite a few. The later harvest I freeze, and then we let them go and Hubby cleans the pods away from the dry beans.
We dehydrate some stuff, but again - the heat. I think this year, I’m going to plug the dehydrator into the outdoor receptacle and pull one of the patio tables over there to set it on.
