Gardening: raised
After twenty years of gardening I decided to try a raised gardening with just eight plants. The vegetables were prolific that I had to give half of them away because ai couldn't eat them fast enough. I also plant fruit trees in my yard, apple, cherry,pear and peach. Two of each so they will cross polinate.
Raised Gardening and Hobby machine shop
After twenty years I decided to try two raised garden sections. I only planted eight plants and they were so prolific that I couldn't eat them fast enough. I also planted fruit trees in my yard. Apple, cherry, pear and peach ten years ago. I planted two of each so they could cross pollinate. It's a bountiful crop of fruit every year.
I put together a small hobby machine shop consisting of a lather, bridgeport mill, surface grinder, 30 ton press, drill press tig welder and heavy duty metal saw. I live in a small ural community and try to help out farmers and friend that need repair on anything they bring in. I consider myself a top talent machinist with an engineering degree.
