Just started a new Natto ferment. Using Black-Eyed Beans, can’t find any small soybeans in NZ.

We got some spawn and put it in a mulch growing bed. Not sure we did it at the right time though, we did ours in late summer and despite attention, correct watering etc. have had nothing appear. We got ours from Sporeshift.

Hope you’re all good. Have had a horrid couple of days due to serious side effects from steroid medications I was recently prescribed. These things are supposed to help, not make me feel even worse!! Feeling so much better this morning having stopped taking them, though Doctor will tell me I’ve been a naughty boy!!

Trust the day will be good for you.

The issue is keeping all the invasive stuff controlled. Up here, plants, and weeds, grow very rapidly all year. It’s to some extent happened worse in the past 2-3 years. Our winters are now seemingly not as cold as they were some years back. Need to mow the grass very often now, even in winter, not like it used to be.

Plenty of them up here. We have pines plus bamboo. Both are invasive, especially the bamboo.

Ours does the same, standing by the door, and we do have a cat-flap, but you know, I’m here now, "fix-it".

Just had another text, so 3 hours spraying or thereabouts.

I know, or at least we read, this shouldn’t cause any problems unless you are actually spraying the stuff. We have a tall shelter-belt that we refuse to have lowered, just in case.

I read previously that dogs shouldn’t be allowed in the orchard for 3 days after spraying Hi-Cane.

They spray very often, though it’s typically more benign stuff like copper and foliage feed.

How’s we all doing? The Hi-Cane spraying next door has started. Luckily it was early and there’s not much wind today.

Our heatpump is quite old, I bet modern ones are much quieter than ours anyway. It’ll be interesting to hear what the installers say.

It’s tough for me to comment as ours is sat on the deck outside the bedroom. Our house is the typical single stud wall with weatherboard exterior and GIB inside. It does have insulation in the wall plus double glazing. Can’t here the outside unit at all from inside the room when it’s running.

If you’re mounting to the wall, I’d think there’d be rubber mounts etc to reduce any vibrations.

I expected that every instance anywhere should be able to see everything else. I’m guessing the instance I tried isn’t federated to lemmy.world. But I don’t know how it all works.
