Planting Spinach

April 18, 2017

We started the day by looking at the water farming project.  Since we don’t have fish in the tanks yet, it’s time to add some manure in the water to help the plants grow.  Typically, the wastes from the fish would act as manure. 3.5 Tablespoons were added. 

We are going to plant the spinaches in the rocks.  The only trick is making sure the roots are deep enough to reach the water.

The rest of the day we just planed a lot of lumber, to prepare pieces ready for the second bed frame (Top bunk). There are 37 pieces total for the whole bed. All 2X4 and 2X6.  The longest 76’, and shortest 36’. (Not including supporting pieces/spacers).

Here we have glued the four legs necessary for this jig.  Since we don’t have a table saw, We will use the jig to split one 2X4 into two 2X2’s.

I forgot to mention that for breakfast, we always have masala Chai tea! (Breakfast is usually around 9-10am, but I usually like to heat up something earlier because I like to eat breakfast first before working)
