Sweet! Glad to have you here! I'm working on some other tasty treats, so be sure to check back 🙂

I didn't think to try it the opposite way, but that does sound like a better idea! I have plenty of poles left to set, so I'll give it a try and post an update

You got me dude. It's what a friend of mine said to do so I tried it. I'm not a fan, but the drill attachment definitely worked better than his suggestion of rebar.

Edit poured dry and comes out like it was mixed wet

One thing I've found pulling the old poles is that the guy who poured the previous concrete did a half-assed job of it. Since the holes super small, he mostly poured it on one side and around the top. Two poles just snapped off 😂

i poured my porch post one dry one not .. one needs fixed now guess wich one.. the dry pour split and the post pushed over. it dry is half the strength as wet

I'll have to give that a try with some of the other posts I have to install, see how it turns out, and post an update! Thanks for the idea.

Honestly how did he not think of this?

@@adwincharles8132 people are just lazy (which makes more work for you in the long run.) they also believe what those crappy quickrete bags say on the back

I don't think they're edible, though I've never tried. They definitely make a fantastic, long-lasting sponge though. I have one that's still intact after 5 years of use, but it's about time to retire it.

They are edible but you have to harvest them while they're still young. We call them "patola" in the Philippines. You can search for 'patola Filipino recipes'.

@@brentsbackyardredneckery I also use them as a sponge( works great on my glass top stove) and to wash my body.

Interesting but of information! I'll have to look into that and see what it looks like. Thanks for the tip!

@@marichub8828 I’m definitely going to check it out! Thanks!

I don't know...soup scooper might just catch on 😂

@@brentsbackyardredneckery😂😂😂

Thank you for watching! I hope that you will return and enjoy more videos!

It is. It's apple gravy and it's delicious.

I actually did and it was like chewing on super thick paper. None too tasty.

Thank you! Hope you come back for more in the future!!

Darn things just won't leave me alone! Must be my glorious odor

I wondered why they didn't go well with cereal

That makes sense. I'll have to watch out for those little buggers next year and spray for them! Thanks for the tip!

That's not a half bad idea. I'm hoping to make some brandy this year with whatever wild grapes I get. I'm gonna have to make myself a still and see what I can do!!

I'll have to give it a try and see what happens. If it'll keep me from burning it down, I'll call it good!

@@brentsbackyardredneckery Fact is i have it from our royal gardener who looks after the royal family's garden. he uses alcohol for vines . Greetings from Denmark 🤗Ethanol, is the name you should use

Cool deal! Thanks for the info and tuning in from Denmark!! I'm always honored when I get views, especially from across that little pond we call the Atlantic 😂

I'm hoping the weed barrier will make for less work, but we shall see

I don't think that I watered them more than other peppers, but it's totally possible, and wouldn't surprise me

True, true. I had them on heating mats, so I'm guessing the seeds just didn't have the umpf they needed to continue living. I think the two I gave my brother might still be kicking, but haven't grown much either.

Can you imagine how awful garlic mead would taste? 🤮😂

@@brentsbackyardredneckery goodness. It'd either be a bio weapon or a kick-ass cooking wine lol 😂

True, true. I just hope I'm not having to live off these critters in the future 😂

Yeah, man. I thought about doing that, but decided not to after every freaking recipe I saw said "DON'T USE THE GREEN PART" 😂 I might give that a try next year though and see if the flavor is any different and do a comparison.

Thanks! It's a lot harder to get angles than I ever would've thought, but I'm starting to get the hang of it 🙂

The pellets are the Jiffy brand, yup. I'm not sure about the color of the box? The tray is black, the pellets have some kind of tyvek looking covering that's a light greyish white. Is that what you're talking about?

@@brentsbackyardredneckery If the covering looks like regular cotton fabric, it should be fine. If it appears to be a mesh, those are the ones that have given me trouble. I have the same seeds planted at the same time with mixed pellets in the same greenhouse. The seeds in the questionable pellets have barely broken the top of the peat while the others are 2 to 3 inches tall. It's a massive difference!

Yeah, it doesn't really look much like cotton. It looks more like one of the sleeves that 5-1/4" floppy discs were stored in back in the day.

So far it's been pretty tasty. Can't wait for it to smooth out and check out the final product!

Right there with you, dude. Getting the plant to grow at this point is almost my only goal with these. The first time I tried them, I bought seeds from Pepper Joe and 0 of 20 sprouted. Last year, I had seeds from a reaper I bought at a hot sauce show and got the same results. This time they've sprouted, but most have petered out. I might have to just go back to ghosts next year.

@@brentsbackyardredneckery I got them to germinate using the peat pellets in a 12 cell Jiffy greenhouse under bright grow lights. I'm not growing ghosts this year (like the heat but not the taste) but I'm trying out death spirals. Comparable heat but is supposed to have a better taste? Time will tell.

Ed Curry had it certified at over 2.6 million scoville

@@Volfor321 he is not the world record keeper. granted he is the breeder but science doesnt work that way. peer review is needed.

X may not actually be the hottest, but one thing's for certain, they're too hot for enjoyable consumption. I'm pretty sure they're watered with diluted battery acid to get that flavor 😂

Guinness gave him the award months ago so...

@@Volfor321 www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-67136085 Indeed they did

Yeah, I've heard they're too much pepper. I grew ghosts a few years ago that were on the cusp of too much, but they turned out to make a pretty fire sauce. If these will grow, I definitely don't need more than one plant 😂

@@brentsbackyardredneckery i use one reaper in a 8 oz mash. If i use two its to much.

Sounds like a pretty good ratio. I'll definitely keep that in mind. I'm planning to grow a variety of hot and medium hot peppers this year, so there should be some hot sauces in the works later on as well!

@@brentsbackyardredneckery love my hot sauces my fav that works on just about most stuff is jalapeno, onion, garlic, with the reaper. My fav mango, but not as many uses.

​@@orionx79Mango makes a good mixer for sure. I made a pear fatali sauce using yellow tomatoes last year that was unexpectedly delicious.

I haven't actually. I'll look into those and see what they offer. Thanks for the tip!

@charathedemon7371 I know how that goes. My wife heckles me about it 😂 Amazon has some pretty decent deals on little pots. These are the ones I just bought. www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0CM91CVQ9

Hard to say, really. I've had some last a year and others 10. I've heard of others lasting for a thousand.

Thanks, dude!

@TrinaJulianEdwards You and me both! I mean, at least one, right? 😂

I'll be replanting them here in a couple of weeks, so a video will be forthcoming 🙂

As long as you have viable seeds, it works like a champ!

Definitely comes in handy when you want multiples of the same plant 🙂

Those things do come in handy, especially when you're old and forgetful like me.

I'm hoping my fig grows this year. Thought it was dead all last summer and then it was green in September

You know it! Ain't nothing better!
