  About hydroponics         


Author: Fernando A. Gómez F.
Date: Sep 9, 2008 10:13

Hello everyone.

Recently I've been interested into hydroponic agriculture. I've been
reading about it, and it has sparked my interest. I'm even considering
on building an hydroponic plant for growing -say- lettuces.

Of course, that would be in time, after I learn enough to risk my money
into such enterprise. At the time, I'm building a little hydroponic
garden in my home.

I've been surfing the web about this topic, yet all I've found is like
an overview. I haven't found anything technical about it, say, how-to's
and such.

Does anyone have any resource recommendation (digital or printed)? Also,
tips and advices are most welcome.

Thanks in advance.

  Rock elm cuttings no go, but sour cherry cuttings are going         


Author: plutonium.archimedes
Date: Aug 14, 2008 23:15

A few months back I started to make rock-elm cuttings and for a spell
there, was having signs
of success. Come to find out that the stem had enough energy to burst
out a bud, a latent bud, but
the buds never leafed fully and when I inspected for roots there were
no roots. So enough latent
energy in the stem for a bud but no new roots.

I also cut branches from my favorite sour cherry tree and decided to
stick them into potting soil
without any hormone acid treatment. To my surprise several of them are
now budding out with
leaves. The buds look so good that I am confident they have roots
also.

  world's finest weeding tool-- tongue-groove-pliers; a good design for robot-weeders         


Author: plutonium.archimedes
Date: Aug 11, 2008 02:16

Actually I found this weeder tool several years ago when fixing a
water line using a tongue-groove-pliers
and then walking back to the house and seeing thistles along the way
and using those pliers to pull the
thistles.

There is no finer weeder than a large pair of tongue-groove-pliers. A
weed that has a single stem can
be pulled up from its entire roots. Yesterday I used the pliers to
take out baby locust trees the size
of my little finger. Some snapped at the base, but several came out by
their entire roots. And it matters
not if the soil is wet or dry.

They are super effective on thistle.

What makes the pliers so effective is the fact that the grip is tight
and the pulling upwards only tightens the grip
even more.

  chokecherry question; How I come to love chokecherry         


Author: Archimedes Plutonium
Date: Jul 31, 2008 13:56

For years now I have complained about chokecherry as not being suitable
for canning and not suitable for harvesting since the fruit is so small
and pits so large and in fact poisonous if enough swallowed. So
chokecherry was on the borderline of practicallity.

So what changed my mind so abruptly? Well it is because I can utilize
the juice of chokecherry for other canned fruits and then save the
mashed up chokecherry, put in refrigerator and use my mouth and tongue
to separate out the pits. Carry around a small spittoon and so fully
utilize the cherry in the chokecherry.

If you ever seen the juice of chokecherry it is very pretty purple-red.

And the flavor of chokecherry is a good cherry flavor. So when sour
cherries are not available, chokecherry is a good substitute. And they
are easy to pick and easy to prep.

However I have a question about picking chokecherry. Maybe someone knows
what this is. The chokecherry come in what I call "drupes of fruit". And
I noticed on some drupes as if a whitish appearance, sort of like a
spider type webbing. Maybe it is some worm type webbing. It seems to
cover an entire drupe of chokecherries.

So what is this whitish film on chokecherries? Anyone know?

  apple harvest and canning; good news and bad news         


Author: Archimedes Plutonium
Date: Jul 31, 2008 13:46

Well apples and pears usually are the bulk of my canning, especially
with cinnamon applesauce. But this year the pears are few, for them
seem to be biennal in production capacity. One year huge, next year
sparse.

The apples are large production this year however, due to hores, llama
and alpaca, I am having to compete for apples. I normally just pick up
fallen apples on the ground, but these animals are cleaning me out
before I get there. And the horse especially. The horse seems to know
what trees are apple trees and makes them the priority rounds of the day.

But there is good news about apple canning. I will have more than enough
apples to can. The bad news is that 75 percent is going to have to be
crabapples. Not much fun in prepping crab apples. But one thing good
about crabapples is that the color of their skin can tell you if ripe
enough.

As for the regular apples, I pick the fallen to the ground ones and
depending on their color I either wait till ripened or cann immediately.
I am adding currants and chokecherry juice to the apples so it is quite
a delicious mix.

All organic.
