Mrs. Crabby just dehydrated the eggs "raw" poured into a lid and set in the dehydrator …. more to follow after we eat some……..

I emptied my compost tumbler today and the stuff was very wet and strongly ammonia the leaves didn't all break down and the stuff that did rolled up like road apples. It kinda looked like a cross between lake muck and horse muck that had been stepped down in the stall over the winter. I think it needed to drain more and have less chicken manure and maybe needed more sun/heat.

I am going to drill some drain holes in the bottom of the barrel and try again without any chicken manure added.

I am going to load it up with grass and dried grass.

My sweet potatoes finally sprouted inside and are getting planted today. My potatoes are about 12 inches tall now they seem to shoot up 2 or 3 inches every sunny day since the MONSOON stopped.

My compost heap is doing good: about 1 part green to 10 parts brown. Turn the pile about once a week to keep it aired out. The monsoon slowed down the process but now that it's lettup, you can definitley notice a difference. Was hoping to get some more seeds in the ground over the weekend but a bad hot water heater ate up a lot of my time. I was tempted to pay Lowe's to change it out for me but as a prepper, I wanted to tackle this one myself. I'm not mechanically inclined but I feel the need to start learning how to do a lot of this stuff on my own and save some money in the process. Anyway, after the seeds sprout, I'm pretty sure I can use some of the compost as part fertilizer, weed control/mulch, and whatever else compost is suppose to do for your soil! Potatoes and onions still coming along fine…also had some sage and oregano that held out over the winter and is spreading again. Rosemary doing good too. Doesn't look good for the '3 sisters garden': too much work to get it going and not enough time in the day. Maybe next year.
