Biography
After a long career electro-geeking for R&D labs in the electronic industry Mike has checked out of the rat race & moved to the woods. Not entirely off grid but trying to achieve that goal. He raises a few animals & enjoys growing healthy food in various gardens. He is a life long nature lover, adventure seeker, & to a certain extent a minimalist. Eventually bears will probably eat him & turn him into compost. He is ok with that.

I like the V2.0 concept. It would probably help to use some sort of wicking or drip irrigation.

Before I moved away from Humphrey D Hugelhump I completely planted it in strawberries. I never saw it again but heard it produced many berries. Food for thought.

Sometimes only one or two of the songs I intend to post here actually end up being added. I think tonight was the first time not a single one made it. The original list was hard core rock best played at ear splitting volume but when I sat down I just wasn't in the mood for that right now. Maybe I'm getting old. Well, I'm old enough to remember Ralph Stanley. Some of his very valuable banjos are in one of these videos. Enjoy.

It's tomato season. Mine are ripening. Have eaten some already but soon there will be many more ready. I was thinking of how to best use some beautiful Cherokee Purples. My absolute favorite tomato & also my best crop ever of them. My grandmother used to make tomato gravy. It tasted way better than is seems like it would taste. Haven't had that in many years & have never made it so I looked it up. This looks more or less how she made it. Try it. Your taste buds will thank you.
