This has been a gratifying addition to the estate. When the garden works, sometimes it REALLY works. Of course neighbors get some overflow, but their gardens tend to be working too. Nothing would go to waste if we did not harvest, of course, but all kinds of dried stuff is nice to have: tomatoes, herbs, banana slices, mango slices, kale leaves - those are our top uses.

This is a simple design inspired by inheriting two suitable glass panes. It is a simple box with 1x6 plank sides (to make total “depth” of 11 inches (28cm). The “bottom” is a thin sheet of galvanized steel. Interior is painted flat black and it gets quite warm in there - I should measure some time.

    I guess, but cannot tell for sure; I did not rotate the pic from the time I took it until I posted. One can “preview” a post, but once you click preview you cannot back up to make edits (at least with my configuration - Firefox on Ubuntu Linux) - browser back button does not work. A mystery!

      Yeah, this looks like an issue with the image upload service used by Lemmy. If I find the time I will look into the configuration of it in more detail, maybe there is a way to preserve the orientation better. But by default this seems to be the same for all Lemmy instances, so at least I didn’t mis-configure anything.

      The browser back button thing is a bit annoying as Firefox recognizes that you already entered something and asks if you really want to leave the page or not, but this usual popup somehow doesn’t show up when pressing the back-button (it does when trying to reload the page). I am not exactly sure if this is a Firefox or a Lemmy bug, but it is a bit annoying.
