Sorry I have not posted in awhile but with the end of school coming up
things have gotten way to busy. I am still trying to work on
simplifying but.... Here we go again I just have a terrible time saying
no to things and just stay way to busy outside my simplifying project.
I started some of my seeds in the recycled cardboard toilet paper rolls. (See: Do It Yourself) It was a little time consuming getting them ready but this is something that I should plan on doing as I get a few rolls and then just store them already finished with the bottoms folded in. I really liked how they worked, I filled each roll with a mixture of peat moss and worm castings and placed the rolls in a plastic garden seed starting tray. The card board did a nice job wicking up the water keeping the soil nice and moist. When I was ready to plant them I just unfolded the bottom so that the little roots could go out the bottom. I have since found another way of doing it that would be less work and might try it next time see the video (Starting seeds using toilet paper rolls). The only thing that I am not sure would work with doing them they way she shows is that I use worm castings with peat moss and I don't know how well it would stay in the roll with out the bottom.
I have bought a couple very helpful videos on homesteading that I want to share with you later when I have some time to give you a review.
Until next time,
K.I.S.S.
Keep it simple sisters
We have become overwhelmed with life, to many commitments, to much debt, to much stuff. We are on a treadmill the speed increasing and the incline position studiedly inching its way upward. Our hearts racing we wonder, is there a way off? If I try and step off am I going to fall flat on my face? If I stay on, I am going to kill myself! We run all day long busy, busy and at night we can’t sleep because we worry about all we have to do the next day. This is my journey...
