@@suhardisuhardi8388 umm... Possibly... You mean that it (the "sand") might actually be smaller particles that are simply bonded together tightly that appear like sand? If this is the case, for a more scientific approach to soil analysis, your insight is 100% valid however, for someone simply looking to improve their soil quality at home, I'm not sure it would matter a great deal, as this type of material will still act like sand, and therefore, should be treated as such... I think so because no watering or rain will be able to break down these specific materials as well... At least, I don't think so. It's a good insight you've presented though... I really appreciate your point of view here, because it shows us all that there is more to think about and learn, so, thank you!!!

@@paulhogan2389 hahaha... Love it.

No problems. Thanks for the shoutout. Regarding the drill... this step isn't needed if you use a stitching chisel with larger tines. Mine isn't big enough to easily pass the leather needle through. A lesson I had to learn the hard way regarding buying quality tools. Good luck with your own projects! Thanks again for commenting.

@UrbanSelfSufficiency Hey :), you're welcome. The drill was a big deal for me, because I started working with Real and Faux leather a few months ago, and I've been wanting to work with a heavier leather like yours in your video, but I can't afford the leather sewing machine right now. I already have a drill with lots of bits so ive envisioned that i could pull it off. I can't remember the ounce, but I use a softer Genuine leather for my crafting, and the machine I use is, Brother LB7950, and I'm able to use leather needles with it. I had to slow down your video at 0.5 speed and watch it over and over and over again, and I was like 🤔 woah....okay! It's the "little tricks of the trade", that few people will show you or ya learn after some time of experience. And that may take some years. So, I Really Appreciate you man, and the educational content you post. Much Respect.

@@CT2507 this was 6 years ago... Forgot I even made it 😂

Aw

Open Google word document. Click "Tools", then click "Voice Typing". Play the video and allow the audio to be picked up by your microphone and Google will transcribe into text. Done. 😁

Clear pipes would've made the video a lot better! Wish I'd thought of that :)

Thank you

omg... that is genius!

I'm unsure. Perhaps leave it to settle for 24 hours and see if things change.

@@UrbanSelfSufficiency Thanks for the reply! Sadly, I left it for more than that to see if it needed more time, and it didn't work. I also tried to reshake it, but still nothing. I just think that my soil samples just had a lot of mud making it hard to see the others. Thank you for the reply!

I hear that too often

Can't please everyone. Sorry about that.

Good tip. Thank you 😊

No. I wonder if that would make them smoke up more? Would certainly help them burn.

hello please tell me with this loadshedding will it effect the biltong

Several factors could prevent a hybrid cauliflower plant from bolting to seed, despite hybrids typically being bred for high yield and bolt resistance. Here are some possibilities: Environmental factors: Insufficient sunlight: Cauliflower needs at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight per day to thrive. Shading by other plants, structures, or cloudy weather can reduce photosynthesis and delay head formation, preventing bolting. Inconsistent temperatures: Ideal temperatures for cauliflower growth are between 15-21°C (59-70°F). Fluctuations outside this range, especially prolonged periods of heat or cold stress, can disrupt growth and flowering. Nutrient deficiencies: Insufficient nitrogen, phosphorus, or calcium can limit head development and delay bolting. Ensuring balanced fertilization with organic matter or appropriate fertilizers is crucial. Excess water: Overwatering can stress the plant and lead to rot, hindering its ability to form a head and eventually flower. Pest or disease damage: Damage from pests like aphids or cabbage worms, or diseases like fungal infections, can weaken the plant and divert its energy away from reproduction. Planting and care factors: Incorrect planting time: Planting cauliflower too early or too late in the season can expose it to unsuitable temperatures and prevent proper development. Different hybrids might also have specific timing requirements. Improper spacing: Plants planted too close together can compete for resources like light and nutrients, stunting growth and delaying bolting. Insufficient head removal: Harvesting the cauliflower head too early or leaving the stem intact can stimulate the plant to produce new heads or suckers, delaying flowering. Hybrid-specific factors: Genetic variation: Even within hybrid varieties, some individual plants may have a slightly higher or lower tendency to bolt due to natural variations in their genetic makeup. Outdated hybrid strain: Older hybrid varieties might have lower bolt resistance compared to newer ones bred for improved performance. Troubleshooting: If your hybrid cauliflower plant isn't bolting, here are some steps you can take: Assess your environmental conditions: Ensure your plant receives adequate sunlight, consistent temperatures, and proper watering. Check for nutrient deficiencies: Test the soil and amend it if necessary with organic matter or balanced fertilizers. Examine for pests or diseases: Look for signs of damage and treat any infestations promptly. Evaluate planting and care practices: Adjust spacing, harvest timing, and head removal techniques if needed. Consider the hybrid: Research the specific requirements and bolting tendency of your hybrid variety. By addressing potential issues and providing optimal conditions, you can encourage your hybrid cauliflower plant to develop a healthy head and eventually bolt to seed, even if it takes slightly longer than expected.

@@UrbanSelfSufficiency Thank you for such informative reply! I did have a flea beetle problem as well as cabbage white flies. And at night we had only +10 C here in Alberta Canada. I guess that's already 2 reasons why.

Wow, thank you!

You wouldn't try to make it yourself, or you don't like biltong?

Alternative?

I hate the idea that I may have wasted 1.7 million people's time :(
