Good morning gardeners. I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving yesterday. My day was nice, quiet and lazy. Mrs. RD had to go to work at one pm and did not get off until two this morning, so we will be having our Thanksgiving feast this afternoon. We are having a roasted Turkey breast with the typical side dishes. We usually have a Ham but Mrs. RD wanted Turkey this year so Turkey it is.

It is forecast to be in the low 70s today so I may get out and gather up some leaves for the compost and some pine needles for mulching.

If you are a gardener or you are just starting out and are in need of advice or just encouragement please feel free to join in and enjoy the friendly discussion. Our Freeper community is full of gardeners, each with varying interests and skill levels from Master Gardener to novice.

I have no real expertise. I just stumbled across the site and looked to see if my generator was included. LP is a cleaner burning fuel, so one might could stretch the oil changes a little bit.

LP gas is used throughout industry on indoor ICE equipment, and has been around for many years in the automotive hobbyist’s underground. I looked at a website a while back where rock crawlers in the western states use it to avoid fuel starvation during steep ascent or descent situations.

I posted because having to chase after gasoline during long term power outages, and storing so much fuel are the drawback to having power generators for backup. I have an LP gas line in the area where my generator would be during use, so it is right on the money for me.

[Don’t eat fish so went with goldfish not Talipia. I do like Talipia of any fish and might change to that next spring. but for now learning on 0.27 cent goldfish.]

In the process of adding a 100gal Rubbermaid water livestock tank to my greenhouse experiment. Empty right now till I get around to installing the requisite plumbing, but soon it will be filled and having critters of some sort living in it. The water will serve an additional purpose in adding thermal for heat storage and control.

Probably do the goldfish thing like you till the bugs are out of the system.

Have you thought about using solar powered DC fans to help keep things cooler?
