    I don't know what the markup was... but the nursery I worked for had a gigantic farm. Their retail store was always throwing away trees, bushes, etc... if the smallest blemish appeared on the plant. I always took the trees, 25 years later they are all still kicking.

    I worked for a huge nursery years ago... they seemed to use the philosophy of keep re-planting until something works. That was great for their billing department, but expensive for the homeowner. I've noticed a few nurserys now approach it with a replacement warranty, but that usually comes with...

    I'm a surveyor so some of this stuff is tough for the typical home owner. First I survey the property corners and tie the site down to the path of the sun.

    that is going to be a lot of potatoes... do you give them away to friends? I have been experimenting with growing onions; I have some growing in used coffee grounds, tea leaves, and watered down pee.

    If you have a mower with a bagger, cut the lawns of the old lady/s in your neighborhood. Grass is excellent for composting. Once you get started you'll have a never ending supply of compost. Just keep amending your property with the compost.

    bigged.. I'm not a fireman or whatever... but isn't it dangerous to put your gas flamed smoker a few inches from your gas meter? Your pressure reducing valve is pointing at it..

    just keeps good notes on what you do. I personally think being consistent while smoking is key. I do what I call hot warm smoking (add a specific amount of raw wood, get the smoker up to 350 for about 5 minutes then let it burn to small coals over about an hour, then repeat) Every smoker is...

    if you want to experiment, smoke some with no rub or anything on it (just meat). It will give you a nice baseline of what you can add for the yum factor. the pics above look nice to me.
