GROWING TOMATOES IN CONTAINERS - Container tomatoes thrive when roots have room to grow. A 15-gallon pot supports better water and nutrient uptake, while small pots limit growth. Use a quality soil mix like FoxFarm, plant at the right depth, and add fertilizer at transplant. Mulch to retain moisture...

I’m growing potatoes in a laundry basket! I layered soil, seed potatoes, and straw all the way to the top, creating a breathable, well-draining space for them to thrive. The basket lets air flow and prevents rot, and the straw helps retain moisture while keeping the tuber

Did you know you can grow new tomato plants from its suckers? This is a great way to have infinite tomato plants from just one plant! Here is how you do it: 1. Identify Suckers: Look for small shoots emerging from the leaf axils (the angle between the stem and a leaf). They’re typically 2–4 inches long when ideal for propagation. 2. Remove Suckers: Use clean, sharp scissors or pruners to cut the sucker from the plant. Choose healthy, vigorous ones for best results. 3. Prepare for Rooting: - Remove the lower leaves, leaving only the top 2–4 leaves. - Optionally, dip the cut end in rooting hormone to encourage faster root growth (not mandatory). 4. Root in Water or Soil: - Water: Place the sucker in a jar of water, submerging the cut end. Keep it in a bright, indirect light area and change the water every few days. Roots should appear in 1–2 weeks. - Soil: Plant the sucker in a small pot with moist, well-draining potting mix. Cover with a plastic bag to retain humidity and place in indirect light. Roots typically form in 1–2 weeks. 5. Transplant: Once roots are 1–2 inches long (for water-rooted) or the cutting feels anchored (for soil-rooted), transplant into a larger pot or garden bed with rich, well-draining soil. 6. Care: Water regularly, provide full sun (6–8 hours daily), and support the plant as it grows. Treat it like a regular tomato seedling. Notes: - Suckers root easily because they’re actively growing tissue, often producing new plants faster than seeds (2–3 weeks to establish vs. 6–8 weeks for seed-grown plants). - The new plant will be a clone of the parent, inheriting its exact traits (e.g., variety, flavor). - Best time to take suckers is early in the growing season when the plant is healthy and actively growing. Credit: ? Let me know in the comments and I’ll give credit.

This slake test shows the difference in soil structure between 10 years of tillage (on the left) and 10 years of pasture (on the right). When dropped into water, the chunk of tilled soil quickly breaks apart as water is drawn into unstable pores. On the other hand, the pasture soil has stable aggregates and macropores that maintain their form in the presence of water. Stable soil aggregates and macropores are formed when soil has the right ratio of cations to allow for flocculation, enough biological activity to stick soil particles together with microbial and root exudates, and sufficient organic matter to drive the cycle. While some tilled soils will have the right chemistry to form a healthy structure, routine tillage simply doesn't allow for the biological activity required to maintain the structure. This results in poor nutrient cycling, drastically reduced water-holding capacity, and topsoil erosion. A slake test is a quick and easy way to grade a soil's structure. Video credit: Ranae Dietzel

Be careful when using the water from refrigerators This black moldy buildup in a fridge water and ice dispenser are both extremely common You’d likely never realize it unless you look The dispenser area is a breeding ground for mold and bacteria because there is constant moisture and it’s a dark warm environment As long as this area stays damp and at room temperature, it’s ideal for mold and mildew to thrive

Apart from the fact that the turbidity level of most rivers have moved from bad to worst in the last 8months, let no one mislead you to accept just tubidity level as measure. It’s just one indicator. What is the true measure of water quality is the WATER QUALITY INDEX by the Water Resources commission. It uses the turbidity levels and other 4 indicators to ascertain our water quality. That’s more comprehensive. st ixahalli Trors in the rdmye thewer And the records from 2005 - 2024 show clearly that, the water quality deteriorated from bad to worst anytime the NDC is in power and improves when NPP comes to power. As at 2010 when the river Galamsey escalated in earnest under the NDC government, the 40 fairly Good water were destroyed and as at 2016, the NDC left us with only 15 Fairly Good water and 25 Poor quality water.

One chicken sandwich at Chick-fil-A has 46 ingredients 1 of those ingredients is now “Chicken breast containing up to 16% solution of water Customers are noticing their sandwiches are sometimes squirting fluid, and not a small amount The 16% solution of water actually contains - Water: The primary ingredient, used to add moisture and improve texture. - Salt: Enhances flavor and acts as a preservative by helping the meat retain water. - Sodium Phosphates: For meat to retain moisture, improve tenderness, and extend shelf life - Natural Flavorings: These can include broth (chicken or vegetable), herbs, spices, or other flavor extracts - Sugar or Sweeteners: Occasionally included to balance flavors - Preservatives: Such as sodium lactate or sodium diacetate, to extend shelf life - Other Additives: Some solutions may include ingredients like carrageenan or modified food starch to improve texture So it’s honest a “water solution”…. It’s more of a chemical solution with sugar water This squirting can also offer from retained fryer oil (sounds super healthy)

“In the last 200 years, our water has been totally corrupted.” Dr. Pierre Kory says a mineral extract added to water could dramatically reduce pesticide uptake in plants. “What these minerals do is they transform the water and the quality and properties of the water.” “This mineral extract can actually, in my mind, restore water not only to its kind of original state, but its original properties.” “When you use this kind of restored water, the pesticide uptake is reduced by up to 85%, and on average 50%.” “The plants grow faster, they’re much more sturdy, they’re much more resistant to pests.” “I think I’m on the vanguard of what could be something that’s transformative for all of us.” Pierre Kory, MD MPA

Die Hard: W/ a Vengeance Released May 19, 1995 Did you know... There are two solutions to the water jug riddle in the park, at the elephant fountain. To place exactly 4 gallons of water on the scales when you only have two jugs which hold 3 and 5 gallons respectively, you must do either of the following. 1. Fill the 5 gallon jug and decant the water into the 3 gallon jug. This leaves two gallons in the big jug. 2. Empty the 3 gallon jug and pour in the two gallons from the 5 gallon jug, leaving space for one gallon in the small jug. 3. Refill the 5 gallon jug and pour water from it into the 3 gallon jug until the small jug's full. 4. That leaves exactly four gallons in the big jug; put it on the scale and the bomb is disarmed. The second method is: 1. Fill the 3 gallon jug and pour the water into the 5 gallon jug. 2. Refill the 3 gallon jug, and pour into the 5 gallon jug until the big jug is full, leaving one gallon in the small jug. 3. Empty the big jug, and transfer the one gallon from the small jug to the big jug. 4. Refill the small jug and pour all three gallons into the 5 gallon jug, resulting in four gallons in the big jug. Place the big jug on the scale and the bomb is disarmed.

Batch cooking your own sauce and freezing some will keep you from buying overpriced jars of sauce at the store when you’re in a pinch. This is about 10 pounds of canned San Marzano tomatoes with some onion, carrot, celery and garlic (I had to use elephant garlic since all the garlic at my store was gross). Start with extra virgin olive oil in a pot and cook down your mirepoix for 3-5 minutes. Add in your garlic and cook another couple minutes. Add in tomato paste (I used a 4oz tube). Cook another 3 minutes. Add in your tomatoes, fresh basil, fresh oregano, parmigiano reggiano rinds (the end of the cheese block, it becomes soft and adds umami to the sauce) salt and pepper. Simmer this for 3-8 hours (longer you go the more concentrated the flavor and the sauce will reduce some). If you have a blender or food processor, blend up all of the sauce into a purée. This isn’t necessary, but it will be a better texture if you do this. Add in some extra virgin olive oil and more salt and pepper if you need it. Transfer to freezer safe containers and store.

Stop throwing away your kitchen scraps. That banana, onion, tomato, or pepper you’re about to toss can actually grow into a new plant with almost zero cost and very little effort. Here’s what actually works (and what most people get wrong): • Banana: Cut in half, skewer it over water until roots and sprouts appear, then pot it. It won’t give you a full fruiting tree indoors in most homes, but it will grow into a beautiful tropical plant that thrives in bright light. • Onion: Sit it on the mouth of a water-filled bottle. Fresh green shoots appear quickly and the roots form on their own. You can keep harvesting the greens for weeks. • Tomato & pepper: Crush or slice and press into moist soil, cover lightly, and keep warm. Seedlings usually pop up in 7–14 days. • Water spinach (or similar stems): Just stick the cut ends in water and change it every couple of days. Roots form fast. The real value isn’t just “free plants.” It’s teaching kids (or grandkids) that food doesn’t magically appear at the store. It’s reducing waste. And it’s a simple, quiet reminder that life is designed to keep producing when we give it a little chance. I’ve started doing this with kitchen scraps and it’s become one of the most peaceful, productive habits in the house. No special tools. No expensive kits. Just water, soil, and a little patience. What’s the first scrap you’re going to try regenerating?

If you want a thriving, sustainable garden without the headache, you need to see these game-changing techniques. Most people are doing these things the hard way—or the wrong way! Here is the safest and most efficient way to master your garden, plus why they actually work: The Bee Oasis: Never leave deep standing water for bees; they can drown. Use a shallow terra cotta saucer filled with pebbles or marbles and just enough water to wet them. This gives them a safe "landing pad" to drink without the risk. The "Bottoms-Up" Watering Method: Stop watering from the top! By placing your pots in a shallow tray of water, you encourage the roots to grow downward seeking moisture, leading to a stronger, more resilient root system. It also prevents crown rot and fungus gnats that love damp topsoil. Zero-Waste Seed Starts: Stop buying plastic trays. Simply roll recycled cardboard tubes into biodegradable pots. They break down naturally in the soil, meaning zero transplant shock for your delicate seedlings. The Vinegar Revive: Before you toss that "rusted" tool, try a 24-hour soak in plain white vinegar. The acid breaks down the oxidation, saving you money and keeping your tools sharp and sanitary. Perfect Soil Prep: Don't pick through your garden beds by hand. Use a wire waste basket or a mesh sifter to quickly separate rocks and debris from your soil. This creates the loose, aerated texture that roots crave. Gardening is all about working with nature, not against it. These small shifts save time, reduce waste, and lead to much healthier plants. Which of these are you adding to your weekend garden checklist?

This video was taken in eastern Colorado just 30 minutes after a 1" rain. Notice the ponding and erosion already starting in this recently planted field. This is a symptom of soils that lack biology, and have poor aggregation and structure. They can't absorb water, so the rain runs off instead of soaking in. Without living roots and good soil structure, bare ground struggles to infiltrate rainfall, especially intense storms like this one appears to have been. Healthy soils act like sponges. Here's how we can capture more rain and prevent erosion: - Keep living roots in the ground as much as possible with cover crops - Minimize tillage to preserve soil structure - Build organic matter through residue and compost - & so much more! An overwintered or spring planted cover crop make a huge difference. Those roots host biology that build soil structure, create channels for water infiltration, and hold soil in place when storms hit. What are you doing on your operation to build that sponge? Let us know in the comments. And give us a call today at 402-469-6784 to discuss your spring cover crop plan. #SoilHealth #CoverCropping #CoverCrops #RegenerativeAgriculture
