2 ½ inch automotive tailpipe clamp. I bent it to fit to my desire. and placed a large nut for added weight. Tightened it onto the motors pulley. It was trial and error. If the vibration would have been insufficient,, I have larger/heavier chunks of steel items I could place instead of the...

This idea/suggestion was kind of floating around in my mind. Since you have individual jars of plum product, and you desire jelly/jam , you can try one jar content, and heat up and add some gelatin. (flavored or unflavored, experiment) Another option would be to add corn or potato starch...

I will try next spring air layering a couple of Crabapple trees I have. (never done this before) Only if any of my offsprings want them in their gardens. I have a Red and a Golden variety. They only differ in the color of fruit. Blooms are same.

Long time ago, a person I casually knew showed me how he created a canopy cover growth from grape vines. Created a nice patio with natural shade. He told me at that time, that he would take a 4 foot section of a grape vine and bury 3 feet of it in a trench type hole in the ground. 1 foot...

JVLS1942,,,, does this count for ho-made vs store bought ?? Of course it does. Anything one does themselves fits category... :thumbsup On the transplanting/propagating subject, I don't exactly have green thumbs, but do enjoy gardening. (mostly flowers now) I do the transplanting early...

Necessity is THE MOTHER OF INVENTION... :thumbsup In my homemade flytraps, I use cat food or dog food as bait. Takes a lil longer to kick in, but does. I also save some of the fly juice as I dump the contents of a filled fly trap. It works instantly. :old

Some what home made... The gate. :gig but the jack is repurposed. I have a 9 foot wide gate and part of that gate is 4 foot section for continuous/EZ people access. The complete gate is only opened occasionally. The whole thing is heavy since made of 6 foot tall wood fencing and...

Here is my version of ;;;; Low Income Housing for pets. Clean up and varnish. Prepare grates.. Assemble.. Install Glass Top Window and Q-Tips' bedding. He likes to sleep covered. Its not cold, but he likes to feel Snug as a Bug. :) I have same for his partner in crime as well.

This is not totally home built, but it has been modified by me. Purchased these many years back. The wood slats rotted being in the outdoors. They came from cheap wood. I redid the boards with cedar. Cedar is rot resistant for long time. Nothing is FOREVER. I varnish stained it, but after...

Great IDEAS.. The incubator certainly would do the job. (to promote the bacteria action quickly) :thumbsup Did you use the oven to curdle the soured milk?? That sounds like a good Idea, What temp would you set the oven to? What kind of cheese would you end up with using Goat Milk? Was it...

Here is how to do it. Temps must be summertime warm like about 80 degrees or warmer, because when cooler, the bacteria will not grow/multiply sufficiently fast enough. Reason I only do it in summer. Tried during winter inside home with 70 degree temps and NO GO. There is another option, and...

Does anyone else see a practical use for this or just I ??? I'm going to connect a Garden Hose to bottom and drill a hole thru wall to outdoors.

Just grapes or other fruit??
