Potatoes and raspberries are the only things that both: just loves it here AND is something people would recognize as a possible enterprise.

Maybe garlic if I had better weed-control practices and more compost.

Milkweed. Sugar maples in 50 years. Wild mustard, horseradish, dandelions.

There's a lot of momentum here behind "native" planting but I've decided to entirely disregard that because of the changing climate. The only way to stay ahead of these things is to embrace diversity and hope that something with the right set of survival traits for whatever is coming will come out of it. I think your oak idea is great!

I made a garlic decoction a long time ago and forgot to put it up here, so I'm catching up!

I did this one a long time ago and failed to submit the BB for some reason -- so I'm catching up.

When I click on the explore products tab, it lists some things. Several of them are tickets to events in the past. And it looks like I can't page through more options or anything. Am I doing something wrong?

Remesh is slightly more expensive per foot when bought in 50' rolls instead of 150. And if you're wasting the innermost 5' of each roll because it's too hard to straighten, then that loss is tripled. And you'd need to do more joinery at the ends of pieces. But, they'd be a lot easier to move around and I'm thinking that might make up for the extra costs.

Mike or anyone have opinions on that?

And also, I think if the wavelength is 15 feet and the amplitude is 2.5 feet (5 feet peak to trough), the expansion factor is 1.236. So if I want a 370 foot fence, I need to acquire 457 feet of remesh (plus overlap for joins and center-waste). Does that seem about right? (I don't remember the trig so I had an AI tool do it, but it seems within reasonable bounds.)

I think the current stance is we'd rather have a second submission so that the failed one stays there as a lesson and the new one shows what you changed to make it pass muster.

I generally microwave it with a little water in a lightly sealed glass or clay vessel.

Sometimes I warm it in the Instant Pot if it's still in there from when I cooked it yesterday. I think you could do the same thing in a pan on the stove on the lowest heat you can manage. But it's not as good as microwaving.

Or I fry it with eggs and veggies, but that's not really reheating.

I also should have mentioned that the trees I'm thinking about are Malus sieversii stock (at least half and probably more) in case that changes the equation.

In general, it seems like plants on my deep, deep sand (impoverished of nitrogen and carbon, but rich in minerals) spend three or so years building roots before they start building much in the way of above-ground tissue but then they take off just fine. So I wouldn't be terribly surprised if I have to wait 2-3 years longer than average.
