I first found DSH as I was looking for reviews for the Easy Digger Broadfork and found y’alls review. It was February of 2020. As the world was falling apart around us, I really enjoyed the calm demeanor of Danny doing his Porch Time videos. I went back to older videos and found that Danny had predicted the things that were happening years before.
As I already have a water purification device, I would like Ms Lippy’s trio if I were to be chosen. I live in Okaloosa County Florida, 8 miles from the Gulf.

The testing is done under ideal temps and light conditions, perfect angle, etc. If you get ~75% of their rating, you’re doing good and it seems like you are.
I’ve been looking into doing this and scavenged a 30 gallon electric water heater, and bought some DC rated heating elements. I don’t live at my off-grid property yet, but when I do I’m goning to experiment. Thanks for the info so far.
I also bought a couple of the solar water heating panels and will try to incorporate them. Hot showers will be a great luxury off-grid. lol

I store seeds in an old pickle jar in the fridge. Last year(2021) I planted some from 2002 and had about 90% overall germination rate except for some lettuce which only had about a 10% rate. The tomatoes had a 100% and so did all of the flowers.
