After straining 5- 5 gallon buckets of raw manure i ended up with 4 1/2 gallons of filtered urine, yep dont want no chunks in my wine.😳

Then i added the secret ingredients and wrote down my secret recipe cause i’ll forget what i put in there by nightfall!
the bucket was sealed and dated just like them fancy wine makers, heck i even used a square bucket so it would resemble the finest “boxed wine”!

In a month we’ll see what we've got unless it blows up before then!
The brown scum on the surface is Bokashi bran that im hoping will help keep O-2 off of the actual wine. I did set the bucket up in the utility sink in the shop, just incase it becomes too active when im not around!

If you die in a urine explosion, we will all testify that you died happy!

If the nights stay above freezing into next week; i’ll be able to lite the toyo, set up saw horses and move this jungle out to the greenhouse. A bunch of it can go into the appropriate beds and the remainder will be a lot easier to chore on for the remaining month, till the garden beds are ready to plant.

edit; today i’ll get the tools moved back up there and should get the trellis twine up for the beans and cukes.

To a degree; it is disgusting however, the plants seem to love it and I am a slave to my plants😳

I’ve had enough success with it to consider it a “valuable tool”, worthy of a spot in my tool box along side the Aerated Compost tea, the Lactobacillus serum and the fermented plant extract. Each having a defined purpose and not requiring too much on my end.

I like lazy!

All the bling’s in place. Ocilating fans, new bean and cuke twine, saw horses to hold up the garden stuff till it gets planted out in about a month😳 etc.

i’l light the Toyo Friday or Saturday, get the de-humidifier going and move in Monday / Tuesday. It’s a great time to be Alive.

p.s, should have a couple new liters of bunnies by then too🥰

Couldnt wait, Toyo’s lit and the dehumidifier is in and on.

That icey river is not an aerial view up in the arctic but rather one of several rivulets that come off the garden / greenhouse hill and converge in my driveway during breakup. They flow during the day and freeze up at night. In another week, it should all be gone. The ice is roughly 4-5 inches thick right there.

I cannot express how much I do not miss breakup.

Summer squash, parsley, celery and tomatoes are in the greenhouse now with pole & bush beans and cucumbers yet to go. That’ll happen Monday, then the left overs get separated from the garden bed starts and moved into they’re own area while waiting for foster parents to show up!😳

tomatoes, beans and cukes got the “whole enchilada”; a deep hole with a qt. of rabbit poop in the bottom, covered with an inch of soil and a dash of salicylic acid before adding the plant.
This year tomatoes include a celebrity, a black heart and the Judy’s wonder. (my own creation)

Right now about half of the 10/20’s are still upstairs but they’ll go out once i have a place to set everything!
