    I love heat but can’t do it a ton. You are a brave soul. Those look great and scary! 
    I eat habaneros regularly, those smoother peppers in the BGE base in the back ground, I also like ghost pepper sauces but heat varies a bit between brands. Never had Carolina Reapers in any form, the second hottest in the world so I expect thermo nuclear war 🥵

    Sadly, grass. I haven't had any luck the last two years as we were hit with record drought's and ended up having a half dead yard. 

    I hauled in a bunch of compost/dirt and reseeded this spring. We've been fortunate with the amount of rain so far this summer. I put some edging and mulch around the trees a few weeks back. I might not get TEXASBGE2018 approval, but it's green and growing.....so far. 


    Looks really good. You should be pleased. 

    Lawn was doing fantastically until a few weeks back, when either I was overzealous with my application of Neudorff Fiesta (legal herbicide in Canada) or simply applied it too close to a hot spell. Burned some nice patches in the lawn. Recovering slowly now, but it’s still a bit of a mess.

    I read more about it. Apparently it's popular in the cannabis growing community, like steroid for the plants, lol

    is it actually brewed with heat or just a ferment. have read banana peels work well for tomotao and pepper plants.  i used to ferment dried corn to attract giant carp onto my beach, there eating habits would clean out the sand in a couple weeks clearing out the muck and debris. like having 30 pound pet coy fish swimming infront of the house =)

    I've never made it, but we used to buy it from the local garden center that focused on organic gardening. They made it for their own use and also sold it by the gallon for a couple of dollars. We used it in our vegetable garden, spraying it helped with pests and feeding the plants with it seemed to help overall. I don't think it''s much effort to make.

    Lots of info on ewetubes. In a nutshell... bubble a cocktail of compost extract + other stuff for 12-36 hrs to multiple the micro organisms at same ambient temp as the recipient plants, apply at its peak.

    I wonder who was the first human being who looked at that ... and said, I want to see if I can eat it. I would love to have seen that unfold.  They must have been drunk.

    Feed it some and put some in a simple spray bottle and hit the leaves to help with pests.

    Probably the same person that ate the first oyster.

    It's the human *after* the first one that I respect. The first was curious, the second knew what they were getting into...

    I noticed this original post the other night; why is the whiskey level, uh, "not level"?  Is that bottle made with undulations, or something else?  :confused:
