Did anyone try to do pesto with it?

Thanks for the ideas. Some more I tried (will see in few months if they were ok or not):
- pickled ones (water, vinegar, salt and green, almost ripen fruits)
- in salt, like olives (in Romanian but you can translate it https://www.facebook.com/IerburiUitate/posts/1087750524690943:0 )

Hey,

This year we can have quite a harvest of cherry plums. Does anyone has any ideas what to do with them? All the neighbors use them to make tuica (an alcoholic beverage)  but we are not really into alcohol (1-2 beers are more than enough for a whole week).

Thanks!

PS: By cherry plum I mean https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prunus_cerasifera

You have DC there (yes, the generator produces AC but in a car you also have a bridge rectifier/voltage regulator as your car systems work on 12V DC).
In theory you can put what you want but you need to see what the current draw will be. There are smart charge controllers that let you limit the drawn current.

If you still need help .. I would, in your place, disconnect all the loads and stay without electricity until you get an ok charge on your batteries.
To know that you don't kill your batteries .. search for "battery protect" from Victron. It is pretty easy to setup and it will kill your loads if the voltage drops so it hurts your batteries.
Also .. with so little power .. don't waste it on an inverter if you really don't need it. I mean .. probably yours is 80% efficient so a lot of power wasted. You wrote about bulbs and a phone charger .. they can run directly on 12/24v, there are a tone of cheap chargers with USB outputs (for the phone charger).

HTH

A little bit of HTML never hurt anyone, I mean .. it looks nicer to the eye and it gets easier to read if you pick the proper background/text color.

We have few Sambucus nigra and I have tasted few times the ripen (black) fruits and they are not that bad tasting (just out of curiosity). We use them for a traditional drink in the area (as flowers) and jam (as fruits).

I had the same issue, but with my neighbour's sheep. Problem was solved pretty cheap, fast and easy (even if temporary, already 2 years in place but planning to make a more permanent one in the spring). Every 4-5 meters I put a wooden pole and between them low-weight fence (here it is called Rabitz, https://www.google.com/search?q=rabitz ). Costed around 40 usd / 100 meters and just few hours of work. I know it is temporary, but if you want it fast done "yesterday" it is a solution.

David .. up to now, that experimental patch with sand .. is not like "concrete" but it is pretty loose which feels really nice comparing with how it was. Not sure how it will be in the long term but in the short term seems like a fast fix (I repeat .. I used normal sand for construction works)..

Thank you all for the answers :D
A neighbor brought me quite a lot of organic material (straws with sheep manure mostly) and I put it on a part of it so lets see how it goes.
I also made 1sqm with sand (a 20 liters bucket) and 1sqm gypsum to see how it goes, as an experiment.
