Hubby's labs came back. Mildly low Vit-D, sub-clinical hypothyroidism, and mildly high LDL. Sounds like the hypothyroidism is the root of the low D and high LDL, so thats something to watch.

Good day everyone, i thought i would mix some soil up today, I dumped 3cu of peatmoss in a blue kiddie pool and.... its full ; / now i'm wondering how to mix the other stuff in LOL i have 4 18 gallon totes but this will get annoying fast i think. i still need to add 2 cu of perlite, 1 cu black kow, 2 cu of potting mix and then the extras

I haven't had to do it many times, but I always made a mix on a big ol tarp.

Perfect weather for them to germinate and grow.. just enuff sun at the right time for them to germinate, then lotz of rain and cool temps.. Should really explode wit de 5 days of sun forecast starting tomorrow

Now ya get the whole story.. we hugelkultured that area last fall..

and wifee had a bunch of different dried poppies pods in a vase.. that the new kitty Rover knocked over ...

so wifee swept up all the seeds and tossed them on top of the area we had hugelkultured ..

And that is the result

I can attest that they don’t like too much sun or hot temps…..I attempted some poppies this year and they didn’t get over about 4 inches

haha Friends? i can't even get help getting 55 gallon blue drums to my house 6 miles away for $15 each i have a little compact fuel saver car

Blankets, ratchet straps, open windows and slow speed.

Cheap electric cement mixer from harbor freight?

I had a 3pt cement mixer for my tractor. I would have everything figured out on the weight/volume all the items and have everything fully measured out and separated. I would mix all my smaller volume/weight amendments together in the drum, and if needed more to fill the mixer up, I would add what ever was the largest bulk item. It's easier to get a nice even mix of all your smaller nutes if you mix them together in this manor and just evenly spread that on top of your bulkier part of your mix laying out on the tarp.
If you don't have a mixer, just do the same thing with a tarp. Spread your smaller nutes out over the tarp and just fold it in on itself, spread it back out an fold it in on itself. Then just evenly spread that on your bulk like the other method and fold and spread until its well mixed.
