Thanks. This is good to know. Worrying about the added weight was the only reason I’ve held off on doing the same thing.
I’ll look into if mine had an auto calibrate, that’s interesting.
What’s the R rating of those panels?

Do you have to adjust the tension of the garage door spring after adding that weight to it or is the weight negligible?
Nusery in SE Louisiana Selling Large Blueberry Plants (5+ gallon pots)
Posted by Seven Costanza on 3/24/26 at 10:13 am
Anyone know of some nurseries around Baton Rouge, New Orleans, or Mandeville/Covington that are selling larger blueberry plants?
Only place I found so far is Bantings in Lacombe. They have 7 gallon plants but are running low. I am looking for more than they have.

but required a LOT of space
Was that because of the spread and size of each bush or due to the spreading with runners?

Same here. I’m first going to try to raise those low spots, then sod with zoysia because the area gets decent shade.
Hoping I don’t have to resort to French drains.

Is everyone planting in full sun, or could I have some moderate success with dappled shade until noon?

Wow that’s crazy, did you train them up a trellis?
With a plant that size now you should get plenty of blackberries this year.

Interesting. Good to know.
How long have you been growing them, and how many plants do you have?

Has anyone tried the prime-ark traveler instead of the prime-ark freedom thornless variety? There are some at Perino’s in Metairie, and I’d like to plant a few this year.
Interested in hearing anyone’s experience with growing them.

re: Gas Line for 22kw Generac - Certain Length of Straight Run Required?
Posted by Seven Costanza on 3/2/26 at 10:09 am to MrBobDobalina

Plumber is correct in what he said, but it is almost never necessary for residential generators. For the large hospital or shopping center generators, they need 8-10 feet of pipe (normally 2x actual pipe size) for the start-up. The demand when those behemoths fire up is staggering and they can suck the line empty, choke out and will not run without having this "tank" of gas to fire-up.
Ah, very interesting. I could see how this would be needed for larger generators. Thanks for the additional information.

Ok this is good to know. I was confused as well.

a flex hose of one size larger than the engine inlets fitting size will probably be more than fine.
And with the generator secured adjacent to the meter, I could run this flex hose straight from the meter to the generator, correct?
Gas Line for 22kw Generac - Certain Length of Straight Run Required?
Posted by Seven Costanza on 2/27/26 at 9:44 am
In the processing of installing a 22kw Generac.
Plumber mentioned needing a certain feet (he might have said 8 ft) of a straight run of pipe for the gas, which would be run from the meter to the generator.
I’m just checking that I’m understanding that requirement correctly and if anyone can confirm this requirement. I plan on putting the generator right next to the meter, so the gas pipe would only need to about a foot long if I could run it directly to the generator without this straight run first.
Thanks

Atrazine spray versus granules? How close to flower bed?
Posted by Seven Costanza on 2/20/26 at 8:47 am
What would allow me to get closer to the edge of a flower bed, atrazine spray or atrazine granules?
How close could I get? The flower bed has a border that goes a depth of 1-2 inches into the ground if that matters.
