Keep posting your ideas balzer. This is what Instructables is for!In this case, though, you need to rethink your design:The ball valves should be near the top of the pipes, not near the soil.The ball valves are expensive for what they do and are unnecessary anyway. Each tube only takes one seed at a time which can simply be added once the device is in the soil. The spacing cannot be easily altered - what are you planting that requires this particular spacing?Every time you push the pipes into the soil, they will increasingly be plugged up with soil.

I've just come across this via Pinterest. This is brilliant on so many levels, not least is quality time spent with your daughter (and away from electronics). Well done.

I haven't! We've since bought a new remote, but when that fails, I'll give the phenolics a try. Thanks.

MacGyver would be proud!

Coming from someone who created a Possibles Bag, that means a lot thanks! Ironically, I was looking at your Cleaning-Rust-Off-of-Tools post only a day ago :)

Interesting concept, hydronics! I'll have to try it out during the spring build up later this year.Here are some colony insect quotes:http://bijlmakers.com/insects/insect-proverbs-and-...http://www.buzzaboutbees.net/bee-quotes.htmlhttps://www.google.co.nz/search?q=quote+colony+ins...

Good to know, thanks Caitlin, and good to hear. Castrating and docking used to be done with a knife, hot iron, or rubber rings, but without anaesthetic.It's possibly more of a modern technique, then, or perhaps country-specific: where are you?

I know this is four years later, Streetrod5, but you may like this idea from Mother Earth News:

Ah. Good points, thanks.I'll have to get more glue (I use Ados contact adhesive), and will update you once I've finished.Oooh! I might see if the local bike shop has some old mountain bike tyres: wider and more knobbly.

I've been wanting to resole my work boots after the tread just peeled off, but car and truck tyres are too thick to use easily. I think your multiple-strips-of-bike-tyre might be just the trick thanks!

Yep. I'll be the one to say it again: stunning first image - it was the main thing to attract me to the 'ible.

I'll try this carolerosner.Assuming you're in the USA, and for my benefit, here are the metric conversions:1 1/2 cups lukewarm water (~426 ml)3 1/4 cups to 4 cups All Purpose Flour (1 - 1.14 L)1/2 tablespoon salt (~7.4 ml)2 1/4 teaspoons instant or active dry yeast (not quite a full packet) (11 ml)1/4 cup Swiss/Gruyere cheese blend (or use sharp cheddar) (60 ml)

A useful conversion website: https://www.google.co.nz/webhp?sourceid=chrome-ins...

Brilliant idea, rutcorn!Although I'm right-handed, some years ago I was getting RSI due to computer mousing but swapping the mouse to left-hand mode annoyed my right-handed wife. I eventually learned to mouse left-handed with a right-mode mouse: https://www.instructables.com/Become-an-ambidext...Lithium Rain has a good 'ible on this also: https://www.instructables.com/Train-yourself-to-...

Given that NamJ1's two "dulichkythu" links lead to a Korean travel website, I'm calling SPAM!

I am right-handed, but like cannae216 I needed to learn left-handed mousing to mitigate RSI. I wrote an Instructable about this five years ago (although Lithium's is way more detailed!): https://www.instructables.com/Become-an-ambidext...

That's good to hear Paul and thanks for replying! I hadn't thought to add the note taking, but now that you mention it, I do that also (in left-mouse mode). You might also like to see Lithium Rain's more recent https://www.instructables.com/Train-yourself-to-...

The foil idea definitely works: I have used it to fix our TV remote volume buttons. The only problem is that I have not been able to get the foil to stay stuck on.I've used both superglue and UHU with the same results. I have a feeling that this is possibly because our foil is "non-stick" as I realised today. Ordinary foil may be betterHaving seen Antzy Carmasaic's comment below (and then DabeAltis's) in https://www.instructables.com/Fixing-Non-Working-Buttons-of-Any-Remote-Control/?ALLSTEPS, I've just applied a dab of UHU to each button's pad and sprinkled powdered pencil graphite over them while the glue was still wet. I then tamped the powder into the glue with the graphite end of the pencil. Experimentation proved that one needs to carefully remove all the powder from everyw…
