Great questions. However, until I definitively choose a plot to inhabit, I won't have the answers. I've heard that the plots are marked-off somehow, but I've not taken a close-enough look to find out how and exactly where. One of these days...

Hey, Ya'll.
Here's a great reference for everything TOPO. I use this site often. Oh. And it's free! Well. Sort of.

Sunny Kahlo, That apron is the bomb! I am too an upcycler with zeal! In fact, my esposa and I are both artists, and when we have stuff that breaks, it becomes an art project.
I collect overalls of all brands (mostly vintage) because they make great everyday outerwear. It's amazing the stuff people toss out. I have a box or three of other people's throw-away denim that I have made cool stuff from.

I Eat My Yard

I haven't grown potatoes in several years for lack of time to garden. However, this year I planned my veggie and flower garden early enough to organize it according to my work schedule.
I am growing some potatoes in containers. This is a new experience for me. Additionally, some chits will be planted in the backyard in an area that is just sunny enough and considered wasted space.
Three cultivars of seed potatoes were purchased at a close-by Tractor Supply store on February 1 and cut for callusing on Groundhog Day (My favorite holiday).
After they callused over for about 3 days, I allowed them to chit in a cool, but sunny area until around March 1.
Then I planted them into 15-gallon nursery pots. Each pot contained about 4 inches of seasoned compost (pure gold!). The chits were arranged on top of the compost and a layer of agricultural sulfur was sprinkled over the whole lot.
The chits were then covered with an additional 3 to 4 inches of the same compost and then watered in.
Here are some images from the process.
Peace, out

Very educational video, Sergei.
Excellent audio and video quality. Would like to know how you solved the microphone caveat.
Looking forward to learning more from you.
Best to you,
