Chit Chat / Re: Anyone ever grown shiitaki mushrooms? UPDATE!!!

« on: March 23, 2011, 03:42:14 PM »

they grow wild here as well as chanterelles they are both very good. One thing to remember is to cut them off and not pull them out so they will continue to grow. I have picked them both but on a good day I can pick 60# of chantrelles

This is the Chambers Railroad bridge. It was built to haul logs to J.H. Chambers sawmill It was in use from 1925 untill 1943. It has burned three different times but thankfully the fires didnt damage it that bad.

« on: June 25, 2010, 07:33:01 AM »

I think I might have seen a post on here about it or it was from the guy at the local pond store, it is about 6' over the pond and large enough to cover the whole thing overlaping the sides by about 2'. I stapled the line to the fence and tied it back to my wifes canopy over the patio ran it back and forth A LOT in an alternating zig zag. It took abot an hour to do the job

I was doing a water change in my pond this morning and came in to get a drink and came back out about 10 min later and had an osprey circling over head about 30' up. I spent the last hour running fishing line all over my backyard. Tomorrow I will have to go get a net.
