Okay Larro, my wife is asking why I didn't get the recipe for your "Buckle"

I just used what I had laying around the shop on the basket, but if I were to do it again I would use 1/4" hardware cloth instead of the 1/2"

I'll see if I can get the recipe from Sister.

Honest question... Is huckleberry the same thing as our wild black berries? Our Blackberry bushes are just now flowering, looks like a bumper crop again this year.

Huckleberries are a little smaller than blueberries. They grow wild here, and are just getting ripe now. What we call blackberries are the fruit on briars.

This threw me for a second. Sister is also a Lori.

Yeppers!! I know about Briars!!! I cuss those plants every time one jumps out and attacks me. I threaten to rip them all out (they grow wild in our fences) but then my wife reminds me how much I love the fruit.

I don't think we have Huckleberries.

That should work good.

My buddy followed your suggestion, he put some in water and will reduce the concentration. This stuff is 40-0-0

We got one this year. Ours is only rated for 800 lbs though. Don't know that it'll ever get close though.

I have wondered myself what I could possibly want to put in there that would be any where close to 1400 pounds. Decorative stone I suppose, but that cart wouldn't be my first choice for sure!

Oh. I believed you. They had the heavier one for an extra 10 or 20 bucks. I told my wife I didn't see the need to spend the extra. Mine is the same design. Only painted red. Just think it may hold 1400 lbs. but even at 260 I'd hate to have to try to pull it.

Last year I bought an irrigation kit for the garden. Worked GREAT! Unfortunately, the guy who baled the pasture got a bit close to my yard hydrant and destroyed the hydrant, along with a good portion of my irrigation system.

I bought my kit from http://www.rainfloirrigation.com/ , an EXCELLENT company to do business with. I was reminded of their excellence when I called this morning to buy the parts and pieces that was destroyed. I also added another mainline to my irrigation system to accommodate the raised beds I have started to install in the middle of the garden. The order taker realized that I didn't have all of the parts needed and suggested several pieces to add to the order. Mind you these were $1.25 pieces - but he sure saved me the time and hassle of having to place a re-order.
