What We’re Working on at The Acre
Make a Speaker Holder From a Gourd
Forget birdhouses, planters, and little art pieces. I turned a bowl gourd into something really useful -- a holder for my bluetooth speaker in the greenhouse.
D.I.Y. Garden Critter Repellent
Here's a cheap and simple repellent spray recipe that will keep squirrels, rabbits, chipmunks, gophers and other rodents (even deer) from chewing up your garden
How to Build a Lasagna Garden
Here's a low-cost hack for backyard gardeners that combines two organic garden techniques to create sustainable, nutrient rich beds for your fruits and veggies
Batch 22 Hot Sauce – Entry 7 – Bottling Part 1
After 191 days of fermentation, I'm pulling Batch 22 hot sauce out of the fermenter and bottling it. Cayenne-Thai peppers with fresh garlic aged on toasted oak.
Simple, Bulletproof Plant Propagation
Got the mid-winter garden blues? This is the perfect time to propagate some new plants! All you need is a milk jug, some soil, and a little patience. Here's how
How to Refresh a Keyhole Garden
Keyhole gardens produce an amazing amount of food with little effort, but to keep them productive, you'll want to renew the bed every now and then. Here's how.
Batch 22 Hot Sauce – Entry 6
Picked the final batch of fresh hot peppers and split the fermenting peppers into 2 batches so I could add more to each before they go to rest for the winter.
Batch 22 Hot Sauce – Entry 5
The Indian summer could have put Batch 22 hot sauce into fermentation overdrive. Instead the pepper plants flowered again, so it's going to be Batch 22 x 2!
Batch 22 Hot Sauce – Entry 4
Topped off 1 gallon of Batch 22 fermented hot sauce with fresh peppers over the weekend. This will rest for a couple weeks before moving to the big fermenter.
Batch 22 Hot Sauce – Entry 3
Last week's heatwave got the peppers fermenting too fast, so we reduced the 3rd addition of fresh peppers from 16 to 12oz. Hopefully that will slow it down.
