welding

Cut the most important part, then you have to weld it back together! Learning to weld takes time behind a stick but if you are not prepared behind a stick, then learning to weld will take a toll on your motivation. Being prepared for the job is just a big part of welding. Getting the metal surfaces clean and ready for new metal is the other. In this episode, I have started one of the many 'farm jobs' that requires my time. The gyro mower needs some bodywork while her gearbox is being serviced. I decided to use this opportunity to take you through the steps of how to get started welding your own projects. Sometimes it is best to just jump into the deep end and learn to swim.

In this week's episode, we took out half of our onions from last season. We will be replanting this area as soon as we have amended it with our new mix and then we will be plumbing our drip line irrigation into this space for the next round of growing. These onions were grown on raised beds in an educational system. It is not easy trying to teach your teacher how to do things and not all things work out the way they are planned. Getting the planting density up is essential if we want to optimize the small growing area we are using.
