The learning curve is much more difficult,

Greetings Keith,
The unlearning curve, h, well I used to live in a downtown highrise
condo in a city of 3/4 of a million, so I did not have much farm knowledge
to unlearn. I guess I am lucky. I just came home from a session of being
laughed at. My neighbor has an AI center and told me
of electronic communications as a result
of any virus being passed on.

Hi Hakan
Keith,
I am not sure that rape seed is industrialized monocrop in Europe, most
farms that I know of, grow it in a rotation scheme. I thought that the
rotation schemes with resting periods, was a part of maintaining soil
quality, but I am not an expert on this.
Yes, that too, even

MM,
Before we get too exited about savings by using DC instead of AC, we might
look at where and why we have this large differences in the energy use by
appliances. Let us first establish the fact that a conversion as such, will
cost us between 3 to 10%, depending on method, size and

The reason why I ask, is to know what could be gained by only a storage
solution, by utilizing rate differences. If you have low rate prices, they
are normally 50-60% lower than normal rates. With a battery storage
solution, would it be feasible to charge during discounted time and that

I do not think that water storage was excluded. Darryl also mentioned the

I would not do it. If they discover it and it is a good chance, they
will disconnect you. You have to pay a new connection fee
(very expensive) and they could even report you to the police. It is
not worth the risk. If it is so bad, you would probably get an extension,
