My gardening efforts are pretty much solo, but my husband was instrumental in building the GH and in helping look after things as needed. Without the GH we are lucky to get any red tomatoes at all. (way better than early girl!) Inside the GH we enjoy our first tomatoes in mid-July. I've had good luck with Early Wonder, which is early yet tasty. :) I also grow a cherry tomato and some sandwich-type tomatoes. That is a record for us, so we are pleased! That's 25 dinners during ski season that I don't have to cook. We ended up with 25 jars of sauce in the freezer. According to the catalogs, some varieties have pectin in them that helps to thicken the sauce. Making sauce is a breeze because you can skip the steps for squeezing the juice and seeds out.
They are very meaty with minimal juice and seeds. The sauce-type tomatoes are awesome for making sauce. I've tried some others, but this one is the best. The variety I grew this year was Super San Marzano. They are odd-looking, being long and quite large. How much of your food do you produce? The tomatoes that I grow are primarily for sauce, so I use Roma-type tomatoes. Your family sounds very interesting and it sounds like you all work as a cooperative of sorts. What's grass? You mean that stuff that covers 10% of our yard that my DH hates to cut?ħ000ft, I am totally convinced you ought to write a book. You might want to do a search on quilt batting, scrubbees and some related subjects here. I don't have to change it at all during the season unless the critters decide to play in the Skippy. I just refold the whole thing to fit the top of the Skippy, which gives me about ten layers. Some people use a single layer of quilt batting and rinse it or replace it every day or two. There are many threads on a search that discuss different bio objects. I have never had to add store bought microbes.
I do have a layer of scrubbees under the quilt batting.
It collects too much gunk and is hard to clean and is very heavy and expensive. There are many substitutes for them such as plastic scrubbers, plastic forks, cut up straws, lava rock and many other objects that don't decay in water. They simply provide a living space for microbes that consume nitrates in the water. The bio balls don't do anything for particulates. Microbes live in it, but they live every where in your pond. It is simply a sieve that catches stuff larger than molecules. Additionally, hand dredges that retain material within the body or in a closed collection space will not lose the material to moving water when being dropped into a pan submerged in the water next to the operator.Those are two totally different subjects The batting is for mechanical removal of particulate matter in the water. Check valves that are constructed properly will provide the reliability that you rightly mention as well as ease of use for the operator and save a bit of time while collecting. I believe these mechanisms are the best ways to retain material with the least amount of loss - while not having to perform extra gyrations (such as developing a special sequence of movement) when collecting. Just as an explanation, I incorporate check valves (or other retention methods depending on HD type) within the various hand dredges that I manufacture for sale. This would employ the rhythm you mention as well. I am aware of the methods you described for material retention - your comments are very appreciated! I am sure others who decide to make this device will find your identified techniques more than useful during use of the DIY device! Another technique that can be used is to continue to draw back on the piston while transferring the material to keep it in the body and not let it drop out during transfer to the pan. I hope everyone can use the simple design to their advantage. Thank you for your welcome and vote of approval on my DIY video! It is my humble way of introduction to forums such as this. Thanks again and welcome to a very good forum. Your idea of installing a flapper valve to prevent losses would be a third way, and probably a very good way as long as volume and reliability don't suffer. Develop a rhythmic sucking style where you begin tilting the nozzle end upwards while dipping the handle end downwards at mid-stroke (thus utilizing gravity to prevent material from dribbling out the nozzle). Position your catch container (gold pan, bucket, small tub, etc) under water next to where you are sniping and just load that dude up until sufficiently full. Comment: There are two common ways to minimize losses with a sucker tube. Fissureman: You have put together a very nicely paced video.
