Can you please describe the flavor? How sweet. how much spice (I don't mind the spice so much... mostly want to know how sweet it is)
Thank you... not a big tea drinker (or vaper) but good to know.
I am so undecided on this... I have to make a choice (more flavors or a scale) I just can't do both. I am so tired of using syringes ( but very good at doing it) I really want a scale but I also want to try new flavors (can't do both) And I need two new batteries for my new mod (that I actually don't need right now... more of a back-up) I think I'm going to get the scale and flavors and just wait on the batteries (they should be available for a long time right?)
Thank you... that was my original choice (getting a scale!) I just needed a little kick in the rear (like John Wayne might have done)
The cap horchata was my favorite out of the two I tried. It wasn’t overly spicy. It’s been a long time since I used it. The other was horchata smooth which I think had more spice. I remember the taste of something like a sweet rice and remember nutmeg. I don’t think the cinnamon was very strong.
Yep... wish I could get the really good one, but getting what I can (I might even wait on the batteries... don't need the mod right now) so maybe a cheap scale AND flavors (batteries should be available for a long time right?)
I don’t think there will be any issues getting flavors or batteries. Nic is my only concern and I’ve got enough in my freezer that should last longer than me.
Making my flavor "wish-list" right now... (FLV mango, TFA Acai... and more) Batteries can wait (don't need then right now, just wanted to play with my new toy/mod... it can wait)
Yup,they should be. You can get a good scale for under $40.
yeah they used to be around $25...but they've gone up over the past few months....they've been $35 for a few months now...

You are indeed correct! That was actually a problem last year though, i think we might have had too much nitrogen in our strawbales. The strawbales were used in rows as raised beds due to our horrid, very compact, poor soil. We didn't have the money to go for your typical raised garden beds (like right now) organic soil is expensive and adding just 2-3 inches on top is much more affordable as opposed to 12 inches per 4x8 bed, from the get go. I used milorganite (nitrogen heavy) lawn fertilizer last year to condition the bales to get them composting, and I think it was a mistake using that stuff as it was slow release. Our plants grew beautifully, but some had enormous leaf growth, but not enough growth in the actual vegetables/fruits. Right before I dismantled the strawbale garden, we picked the largest dandelion plant we have ever seen growing from a bale, the leaves were gargantuan and we actually harvested it for salads. I think we are good on nutrients in the bales, but I'm certainly no expert. They should be quite rich still from the milorganite, the more balanced NPK fertilizer used at the end of the conditioning phase, and the fish emulsion used throughout the growing season last year.Nice looking raised beds! You mentioned adding "semi"composted straw"... might need a bit more nitrogen to fix that (but not too much) Hope you get them all done (I know it's more work that it seems)
The organic raised bed soil we are using to top off the raised beds is rich with nutrients and minerals, the compost accelerator should help to create nutrients and minerals and compost them further, and also plan on using fish emulsion again throughout the rest of the growing season. I compressed and soaked the straw heavily, added the compost accelerator, before adding the soil. Some of these bales are loaded with mycelium, which is fantastic. Gave me the thought of trying to cultivate mushrooms in strawbales and also logs.
