ALGAE DOES NOT grow in diesel fuel. Other biological bugs do however

in diesel fuel under rare and specific conditions. It is a long term

asphaltene compounds which eventually settle out forming a sludge that
Hi Tom,
Using it to heat a shop or such is probably the best thing you can do with
something as haywire as that - glad you found out *before* you made a large
batch of soap... I still have a lot of that bad oil from the supplier I
let go, and will continue to work with it, but it's sure nasty
My thoughts as well ... after sleeping on it. I have a cubie
(4.5gal/17.7L) of the WVO. As time permits I'll do some test batches using
A/B two step. As the price of veg oil increases, some restaurants are
changing less frequently. It might be a good idea for me to become better
I recently dumped a WVO supplier because their oil has become
unmanageable - my best guess is that they are using Magnesol to filter it,
and get more mileage out of it... The titration was all over the spectrum,
and yes, for those of you that would ask, all was well with the titration

I don't know squat about squash, but the Square Foot Gardener (Mel

3 plants per 1' x 4' trench for vine types
1 plant per 3' x 3' plot foor bush types
Cucumbers - 2 plants per quare foot, best done as a row - i.e. 6 apart in a

As I understand it, hardwoods when split with an axe will not necessarily
'go with the grain' of the wood, whereas softwoods (fir, hemlock, etc)
will... Nice smooth splits, no splintering off to one side, which hardwoods
can, but not always will...
