How to get by as a vegan in a rural area
  • I wonder if you could buy some of the raw ingredients to make foods you want. If you bought a bulk thing of soybeans, you could make tempeh and tofu with it. There are lots of recipes for seitan out there as well. What else do you wish was more available to you?

  • What popular product do you think is modern day snakeoil?
  • Exactly:

    • It reheats food quickly with a better texture than the microwave
    • It keeps food warm once I've cooked it and i can use it to keep part of dinner warm while I cook the rest
    • It cooks food evenly because it is a convection oven, and starts the process quicker because it is small
    • It replaces my toaster
    • I can bake one thing in the oven (fish potatoes, broccoli) while the other cooks in the air fryer, especially helpful when they have vastly different cook times and temperatures
  • Starting a Serrano, a Hungarian cheese pepper, and a cherry tomato in my backyard!

    I've mentioned it in the weekly thread but these are sitting an inch deep in nutrients and water. They drink it down, and I refill it when they need it. Its a hydroponic method called kratky. I don't have a hose or a lot of room so this might be a good solution for me. Excited to see how it goes!

    What's growing on, Beehaw?
  • I cut my indoor basil and mint plants way back because they were making a mess. I hope they bounce back! This week, I'll go out looking for a couple pepper plants to try kratky for the first time outdoors. Basically, I make a big nutrient solution in a bucket, I leave the plant's dirt slightly submerged in the water, and hopefully the plant roots into the nutrients and grows like crazy. I have a small backyard and no hose hookup so I want this to be a simple solution to grow red peppers or poblanos' as well as a spicy pepper like a jalapeño or Thai chili. Step 1 is finding the seedlings!

  • I really encourage it when space is an issue. I have a basil plant that's been going for about a year, I've changed the water twice and that's it! I reuse peanut butter containers and use cotton balls for a growing medium. Kratky is really easy! I can't even keep basil in a pot alive, but this guy is great.

  • I dont have much space or a hose hookup, but I want to try kratky outdoors with some Thai chillis and poblanos. I recently started the plants, and I plan to go to a garden center for starters if they fail. I'm excited!

    Kratky is a hydroponic method where you stick plant roots in a mix of water and nutrients, and the plant grows as is! I've only done it indoors, so an outdoor grow will a new challenge but a fun one.

    Hello, I've been receiving this notice from voyager and wanted to hesr your thoughts. I don't understand the tech side of this at all. But, I'm curious if you have plans to update, or if I should find a new client to view beehaw. Thanks!
