I've got a foot bridge over a ditch. Ditch has water in it nine months out of the year. Well my 20 year old bridge has a bad lean to it, time to replace it. This time instead of using 4x4" for the main supports I'm going with concrete retaining wall blocks. $1.24 each on sale for $1.09 and with the mail in rebate 79 cents each. Bought 450. I'll line the ditch to the culverts, dress that part of the backyard woods up real nice.
Bumped into the neighbor down the road that has gobs of apple trees with tons of them fallen. She has her teens rake them up into a huge pile and there they rot. She said it was ok for the twins to collect them whenever. We feed them to the chickens, ducks, turkeys, and rabbits. Free food for them! Brought home a trunkload and didn't even make a dent. I know some are fit for people, too.
IApplesauce...or just freezing chunks. I was just reading something online about dissolving some salt in warm water, then adding cold water. Put the apple chunks in the bowl to soak a bit, then remove and put in freezer bags. I usually use lemon juice, but thought I might try some of the good pieces this way.
Make apple cider and use the left over pulp to make apple cider vinegar. I love my home made ACV.Bumped into the neighbor down the road that has gobs of apple trees with tons of them fallen.
