I too have a compost pile! Spent grain, all of my fruit veggie scraps along with my coffee grounds. Oh for those with nematode problems add seafood shells to the pile the chitin from the shells attracts a bacteria that nematodes do not like.

All I can say is Wow!!!!!!! I don't need the pot but would have been really REALLY tempted with that kinda deal

Man the cider I used for my last batch came in bottles like that. I knew I had a good reason for saving them!!!!! I will be trying some different meads and flavored ciders in them Whoo HOoooo!!! I had not checked to see if the stopper and airlock would fit but I will check in the morning!:ban:

Good for you Karb! I sent an e-mail this morning I ordered last Sunday and have not recieved that one and then another order Monday. I have the bed ready and waiting to be planted!!! I thought I was all bymyself waiting on them!:mug:

Great info thanks!!!

I really like this Idea!!! I don't think I could get it completed before I get my Rhizomes and need to plant them though.

I plan to attach mine to the eaves supported by shorter poles so they can grow up then over my uncovered front porch. Kind of creating an arbor.

Orfy a friend of mine has fuggles and last season it's third he got 4 cones, LOL! Any sugestions for him. He is a totally organic gardener and keeps his soil ph around 6.5. All of his veggies grow like crazy his cascades were wild fire last season. Huge crop!! in the same soil.

Be sure to check the soil ph. You guys with clay soil add some gypsum. Home depot has it for like 4 bucks a bag. If your soil is acidic like mine you need to adjust it with some lime. I added compost, lime, gypsum and sand. I have read that Hops like organic fertilizers better than...

I ordered Centennial, Kent Goldings, Magnum, Zeus and Sunbeam.

Oh HE dbl hockeys!! I'll make this one into a 5 gallon batch without the pith so I'll skin'em I feel like 5 sticks of cinnamon for 5 gallons may be a bit much. I try just one or two and see also I had already bought a sweet mead yeast so I'll use that. I know man, sorry it's not ancient anymore...

I put this in the recipe database by mistake, Oooops! Well here it goes....... I have 15lbs of honey. I already have the yeast nutrient. I wanna get a Mead going Tomorrow or maybe Tuesday. Who has a really good recipe for me? This will also be my first time making mead I actually have not...
