Anyone had any luck getting rid of leafhoppers? They're doing work on my pepper plants....

Picture of my potted Carolina Reaper. I water when the the soil feels dry index finger deep (or a day or so after), and put some 2-3-1 on it last weekend. https://imgur.com/a/sTj8G3k The plant just doesn’t look as bushy as it did and the leaves are developing these rough edges and spots. What doe...

We got a good bit of rain yesterday and the rain chance today has gone down a good bit. Am I good to mix up some Neptune’s Harvest 2-3-1 this morning and apply? Only asking in case I should let things dry out a bit first. Another question: the mixing instructions say 1 fl oz per gallon… But how m...

Well I think you were right. I put 3 gallons of miracle gro on them 5/4 and 3 more on 5/8. All the leaves have greened up and everything looks a lot healthier. Next questions… Is it normal for a Clegg's raised bed mix and composted manure composition to still need miracle gro for things to surviv...

[quote]Rouses has whole untrimmed briskets for $2.99 a lb.[/quote]I went to the local Rouses yesterday to go pick one up, and the flats were some of the thinnest I've ever seen on a brisket. :wah: I guess for $2.99/lb I can't complain too much, but I didn't even bother grabbing one....

Just put 3 gallons worth of miracle gro on all the stuff in the bed. We’ll see what happens. I have some black mulch left over. Pretty sure that stuff is dyed black. You reckon that’s safe to use or should I get some pine straw?...

I just went out and gave them a good watering. I’ll try the fertilizer too. At this point I don’t think it can get much worse, so I don’t have much to lose. How could I tell if it’s disease?...

I’ve done two what I would call deep waterings last week. They didn’t respond much to it. Maybe I could start watering more since it drains so quickly....

Maybe once a week or so unless we get some rain. I don’t have a very strict schedule for watering. I’ll poke my finger in the soil and dig around every once in a while and it never feels too wet or dry. Just very slightly damp usually. Should raised beds be watered more or less?...

I'm about 99.5% sure I over-fertilized my new raised garden bed. Is there anything I can do besides dig it out some and replace with garden soil?...

Removing a built-in gas grill?

Posted by jigem on 3/3/22 at 3:26 pm
Moved into a house with a small outdoor kitchen that was not very well planned. Long story short, I'd like to rip out the existing built-in gas grill and replace it with [i]something[/i]. Since it's set in a granite countertop, I was thinking maybe rout a piece of butcher block big enough to fill th...
