Outdoor Jraven's Alaska Summer 2019

I sure hope so I'm always a little nervous about it this time of year

I get nervous2. When the sprouts have sprouted and stand green above brown, my nerves mellow, gardening again!

Here's the weeks forecast. Our low is generally a couple degrees higherView attachment 1045295

man, that's a drippy forecast. Snow reflectance is doing it for me. Been overcast and snowy but solar panels still put out near 1/2 power and the 1/2 gallon girls in the window love the diffused lighting

I'm totally impressed....you tested your soil! What kind test kit, or did you send a sample in?

I'm able to use the one cob and the fan on 18/6 without increasing our fuel use much. The creek has come back to life so no threat of losing the hydro-power and the solar panels are doing their part when they can

Yeah, been sending samples to Logan or Simply Soil Testing for a couple years...it was a real eye-opener first time. Basic testing is @ 25$

It costs a few bucks to set up off-grid but we get a lot from it too eh?

Well worth the investment! My solar panels are 24 yrs old, and during periods of high reflectivity they produce more than they are rated4. I been doing the wind for about 7 DYI years, finally tweaked-up into a safe and reliable system. Took some time & $, don't forget the blood sweat and tears! When you are off grid means there is no wall switch for instantly powerful grats.
Jraven.....we are badass! Do n and groov n where most fear 2tread
