I am live tonight at 9 PM EST on Home Gadget Geeks. We're talking about my shed/solar project, CES 2026, and smart gardening. Tune in now or listen to the episode later.
I'm from the Midwest, so I like to do all my outdoor stuff right before it snows.
Got three new beds built and I put pickets around my compost bin. The pickets are frozen 😂
Spent some time making my pallet compost bins more attractive. I'll put fence pickets around the outside to help blend it in, and cut up pallet boards on the inside of the compost bin to help contain soil.
The pallets and boards are heat treated, whereas the fence pickets are pressure treated.
I booked a hotel for work solely based on the name.
Does this make me a #millennial?
Spent Christmas morning getting the solar panel installed for the shed. It’s a very cloudy, but warm, day here in #columbusohio.
My new #ecoflow battery is pretty great. Whole setup (battery, solar panel, mount, cable) was less than $500. I’ll look into tidying the cable up once I confirm location.
