Tinker Tuesday for August 27, 2024

This thread is for anyone working on personal projects to share their progress, and hold themselves somewhat accountable to a group of peers. We can coordinate weekly standup type meetings if their is interest.

Post your project, your progress from last week, and what you hope to accomplish this week.


Last week's thread was quite a bit less active than the original one, but I think this is an idea worth continuing, so here we are. Though one thing that might be worth discussing is the pacing of the thread. If there's not so much activity, maybe we can go from weekly to monthly, and if anyone want's to give weekly reports, they can do so under their project's top level comment. Let me know what you think!

I finally finished a potato experiment I've been meaning to do for years. Planted some in a trench at various depths, then hilled them as usual.
The ones planted at 3' grew a few normal fist-sized yellows at the deepest layer, but then dozens of tiny golfball sized ones on the higher stem.

Always wondered if there were diminishing returns to hilling. Looks like the sweet spot for large potatoes might be 10-16"
