What you called "sand" is it really sand? because you just mix soil with normal water. It will be different if you add hot water or with other solution that can break the organic bended with soil particle.
@UrbanSelfSufficiency
@UrbanSelfSufficiency 18 дней назад
@@suhardisuhardi8388 umm... Possibly... You mean that it (the "sand") might actually be smaller particles that are simply bonded together tightly that appear like sand? If this is the case, for a more scientific approach to soil analysis, your insight is 100% valid however, for someone simply looking to improve their soil quality at home, I'm not sure it would matter a great deal, as this type of material will still act like sand, and therefore, should be treated as such... I think so because no watering or rain will be able to break down these specific materials as well... At least, I don't think so. It's a good insight you've presented though... I really appreciate your point of view here, because it shows us all that there is more to think about and learn, so, thank you!!!

No problems. Thanks for the shoutout. Regarding the drill... this step isn't needed if you use a stitching chisel with larger tines. Mine isn't big enough to easily pass the leather needle through.

@UrbanSelfSufficiency Hey :), you're welcome. The drill was a big deal for me, because I started working with Real and Faux leather a few months ago, and I've been wanting to work with a heavier leather like yours in your video, but I can't afford the leather sewing machine right now. I already have a drill with lots of bits so ive envisioned that i could pull it off. I can't remember the ounce, but I use a softer Genuine leather for my crafting, and the machine I use is, Brother LB7950, and I'm able to use leather needles with it. I had to slow down your video at 0.5 speed and watch it over and over and over again, and I was like 🤔 woah....okay! It's the "little tricks of the trade", that few people will show you or ya learn after some time of experience. And that may take some years. So, I Really Appreciate you man, and the educational content you post. Much Respect.

It would be interesting to see this setup with clear pipes to see if It is actually doing what it was designed to do. I have a suspicion that when the ball floats up it can divert the rest of the debris into the tank. Even if that were the case, it seems that it is still catching more than if the first flush system wasn't there.

Love your videos! Thx Heaps! An idea for tank water measurement > pop a 1/2 filled 1L plastic soda bottle into the tank, attached to a (nylon) string as long as the height of the full capacity of the tank. Attach The other end of the string to a 1/4 filled soda bottle (or a nut). Hang the lighter bottle/nut outside the tank. Stick your marker stick on the outside of the tank. As the nut goes up/down you can see the water level without having to climb!

Great video! Quick question. I had a hybrid cauliflower variety. I left some to flower in order to get some seeds for the next season but they didnt even flower like yours did. Broccoli didnt flower either. I got no seeds. Can it be because it was a hybrid variety or i did smth wrong? Thanks
@UrbanSelfSufficiency
@UrbanSelfSufficiency 8 месяцев назад
Several factors could prevent a hybrid cauliflower plant from bolting to seed, despite hybrids typically being bred for high yield and bolt resistance. Here are some possibilities: Environmental factors: Insufficient sunlight: Cauliflower needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive. Shading by other plants, structures, or cloudy weather can reduce photosynthesis and delay head formation, preventing bolting. Inconsistent temperatures: Ideal temperatures for cauliflower growth are between 15-21°C (59-70°F). Fluctuations outside this range, especially prolonged periods of heat or cold stress, can disrupt growth and flowering. Nutrient deficiencies: Insufficient nitrogen, phosphorus, or calcium can limit head development and delay bolting. Ensuring balanced fertilization with organic matter or appropriate fertilizers is crucial. Excess water: Overwatering can stress the plant and lead to rot, hindering its ability to form a head and eventually flower. Pest or disease damage: Damage from pests like aphids or cabbage worms, or diseases like fungal infections, can weaken the plant and divert its energy away from reproduction. Planting and care factors: Incorrect planting time: Planting cauliflower too early or too late in the season can expose it to unsuitable temperatures and prevent proper development. Different hybrids might also have specific timing requirements. Improper spacing: Plants planted too close together can compete for resources like light and nutrients, stunting growth and delaying bolting. Insufficient head removal: Harvesting the cauliflower head too early or leaving the stem intact can stimulate the plant to produce new heads or suckers, delaying flowering. Hybrid-specific factors: Genetic variation: Even within hybrid varieties, some individual plants may have a slightly higher or lower tendency to bolt due to natural variations in their genetic makeup. Outdated hybrid strain: Older hybrid varieties might have lower bolt resistance compared to newer ones bred for improved performance. Troubleshooting: If your hybrid cauliflower plant isn't bolting, here are some steps you can take: Assess your environmental conditions: Ensure your plant receives adequate sunlight, consistent temperatures, and proper watering. Check for nutrient deficiencies: Test the soil and amend it if necessary with organic matter or balanced fertilizers. Examine for pests or diseases: Look for signs of damage and treat any infestations promptly. Evaluate planting and care practices: Adjust spacing, harvest timing, and head removal techniques if needed. Consider the hybrid: Research the specific requirements and bolting tendency of your hybrid variety. By addressing potential issues and providing optimal conditions, you can encourage your hybrid cauliflower plant to develop a healthy head and eventually bolt to seed, even if it takes slightly longer than expected.
