    I spent a few weeks spazzing out about air compressor filtration.

    Decent auto paint is too expensive to go cheap on the odds and ends like tape or air filters. Having exhausted all off-the-shelf solutions with reasonable price tags, I concluded my less-than-stellar clear coat texture was moisture related. Onto the mission of wringing out maximum efficiency...

    Untapped reSorce

    Attn: midwesterners If you DON'T want to go shopping at Sorce's house in person, that's fine. More for me. However, the charitable side of me must say that I am not sure there's a better value for the things he's gotten good at. Get him while he's humble if you know what's good for you...

    Looks like he nailed a leaf eating bug. I assume he did me a solid.

    Which one is a deeper mockery of humanity and inversion of truth?

    The Belgian minister of health? Or the new assistant secretary of health in the U.S.? 🧐

    https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/prosecutors-seek-prison-time-lori-185727970.html Part of me says I should be happy that a rich celeb can't buy her way out of prison. On the other hand, I feel prison should be place for people who are dangerous to the general public in a very direct and...

    Touching compliments. Please share.

    I think I've finally turned a corner. A friend of my daughter was milling around outside and said she liked my plants. I asked which ones and why. She pointed to a crabapple and said: "It looks like a big tree." Not MY words, her's. How do I sign up for the emperor's cup?

    Hypochlorous acid. Claims:. 80-100x better disinfectant than bleach for a variety of reasons Non corrosive. Non toxic (to us). Easy to make with electrolysis. (2)H20 + NaCL=HOCL+NaOH and H2 gas. I think. Short shelf life, around 4 hours. Thr stabilized stuff seems to be sold as a thing...

    Prunus serotina

    I dug up a very respectable stump yesterday. I've been hearing these things are so disease prone, they aren't even worth it. Question....is it the foliage which is susceptible to all this crap? Should I actually consider grafting another type of foliage?

    Finally found it. New Horizons in Bonsai the TV show

    My sister snagged a VHS outta the trash at my mom's house and got it copied onto DVD for me. The first season of New Horizons in Bonsai. I loved this show. My dad retired in 1994 and he determined he earned the right to watch TV all freaking day, and he happened to catch this on PBS. Long...

    Should I leave this alone or thaw it?

    It's a skating rink due our thaw and freeze cycle. Just this one though to this obvious degreee. Not sure what's going on here. My gut says to leave it (as opposed to let it thaw enough to drain) but I'm not 100% on that. Opinion? Prior experience?

    Austrian Black Pine ideas

    I gave this one to a friend's kid to be a foster mom for as long as she wants. It was re-potted this year, but I'm spinning my wheels a little bit on this one. There's that section of the trunk which annoyingly straight. I don't have much of a vision for the branches. Any bright ideas would...

    Burning Bush suburadori. Outta the ground this year.

    Suburbadori, that is. I see decent things ahead for this. When re-potting, I think a no-brainer would be to bury it a little deeper, and give it a little more tilt to the left. Grind out that stump on the bottom left and removed that embedded lava rock. :confused: Then editing out that big...

    Austrian Black Pines

    It's official. I have found three methods of dealing with these. Each person swears it's the right way. #1. De-candle #2. No. Absolutely do not de-candle. #2. De-Candle, just not as aggressively as JBP. I have two. The guy who developed and sold them to me briefly explained de-candling...
