    Probably is a stink bug, Squash bugs usually have a black marking on their back. Do you think they are coming from the soil ?

    Barrels went with press. I have reduced my fermenting barrel down to 15 gallons, and it pains me to say it’s made of plastic! I believe a 25 would work well for me. Any suggestions as who makes a good sturdy press?

    Oh Boy!! spider mites. Will Neem oil work, or should I just start with the big guns(Sevin). Yes the soil does stay moist, something I have been trying to figure a way out of. I do have some root hormones for the next time I set the cuttings in soil. They have been in a zip lock now for about 36...

    Making wine in a barrel

    I remember going to the train yards with my grandfather to buy grapes. He would have the merchant open up the train cars ,then taste the grapes before he would make a decision on which ones to buy. He would always say the barrels have to be perfectly clean. He would remove the tops and, set the...
