Easiest Way to Spot Tomato Hornworms
Просмотров 1 тыс.2 месяца назад
The Tomato Hornworm is a common garden pest that will devour your tomato plants quickly if not brought under control. Since we don't like to use pesticides in our garden, locating and manually removing the worm is our preferred method for keeping these under control. The difficulty is simply locating the worms since they are well camouflaged and completely blend in with the leaves of the tomato...

Thank you Grandma
The best way to fix it is too throw it away and buy a GOOLOO....they are one of the best jump starters.
Good work Ohio Guy these X series from Noco have this problem and you showed us how to fix it
Ok so your method did help my charge my noco jump pack but now it will not take a charge through the usb c any recommendations should be helpful
@@noahroderick5677 Maybe a bad cable/charger.
What if someone takes a screw driver (or something) and dents the hasp so they can get enough access to wrench out the hex bolts? In that case, would the nut and lock washer in the back do anything to stop that? Or would the hex bolt just come right off
I’ve been cooking and baking for my bullies for 3 years but want to purchase a freeze dryer. Can anyone advise which one they use that they love. They are pricey so I want one that will last. TIA
Jim, thank you for the video. Tomorrow, I plan to upload a video on my partially disassembled NOCO boost, same item. I placed it back on charge with a 200W charger with the factory cable. It’s pulling 4 watts at the moment. To disassemble it I bought a triangle bit set. Anyway, you have won my first meme vinyl sticker. Yes, I am using a PC with a router that makes me look like I am in Kenya and won the lottery. No Joke. Just a lie. I live in BAMA. Let us all know what you think the battery is. Thanks again.
Looking forward to your upload. I might need to open my gbx155. Used my variable power supply set to 10 volt 0.5mA via the usb-c clips same as Jim. However after I plugged in my regular usb-c charger for 1.5 hours but still no lights coming on...perhaps I need to leave it like that for a day or so.
@@eshock-z7k What I ended up doing after seeing on RUclips. Was to use the charger for the cigartte lighter. I left my truck running for 20 minutes. The power pack went into fast charge mode and that solved the problem. It the charged normally. My pack is back to normal. good luck.
@@pbr549was that a noco car charger? I tried that an hour ago with just a regular C-Type cable in my car but no such luck after 20mins
This video helped explain a lot of things to me and helped me get back on track to using baffles. I have an aluminum roof with old an cedar frame that gets super hot in the summer. I will probably install a radient barrier later as well. Thank you for your excellent video.
Good luck with your project.
👍
I don't have this issue but was intrigued by the subject matter! My question is something that has always given me pause: USB connections are usually rated for 5V, yet this is a 12V charger. You were able to charge 12V thru the USB cable and port. Could the 12V have damaged the USB output on the NOCO, preventing future use of the port for say, charging cell phones? Or, are 5V & 12V close enough that at low amperage there is no problem? I guess, I'm always worried about frying something if the voltages don't match. Thank you for this very informative tutorial.
I rewatched and see that you charged through the USB-C port, not the cell phone charging port. So, never mind!
👍
I've been using fly paper rolls around my live stock area keep things manageable. When it comes time to change it out with a fresh one, I let the chickens pick at it before I dispose of it. They get quite frisky when they notice I am changing out the fly paper traps.
Horse flies are super annoying. Whenever I step out my door they land near the door or garage door and just watch me waiting for me to not notice them. At certain times of the year they keep me inside.
Ya be careful the dragon fly eating birds don't attack next lol
@@offgridwanabe LOL! Yes, the Martins were really checking out Ginny when she wore hers in the back yard.
Super video, I also have a gbx155, I completely followed your method before charging there was 8v, now there is 14v but I still can't charge it, I tried different charging methods and I still get the fix red light. The booster works and charges up to 50% with the trickle charger but never with the USB C. Do you have any idea why it won't charge? Thanks for your help
You need about 4 times as much insulation
🎉🎉🎉🎉😢🎉
Take your rings off when you cook ….
hmmm 25 locks.... there must be something interesting in this shed....🤣🤣🤣🤣
Plug it into a trickle charger. Saved you 30 mins of waffle.
Did the indians have much of an effect to keep the white people from flourishing the country? Sparrows are cute and are here to stay, they have thrived and ought to be our national bird. Also, make amazing pets if raised from a baby. Let them fly or you won't!
Great video and details, I just subscribed, your patience on explaining everything is amazing and really makes me motivated to build one myself.
Here In Ireland the scum bags use bolt cutters which make easy work of any exposed metal padlock. Get them locks boxed in with steel plates leaving just enough space to open the lock.
I had this exact model. It sat in my truck for 4 months. Brand new! Then it went dead. Would not charge! This trick saved me from throwing out my NoCo. It 100% worked! I left my trickle charger on for 20 minutes and made sure it was selected to lithium battery! THANK you! I ordered the two connectors and jumpers but used my own maintainer. PERFECT!!!
For anyone looking to add baffles AND a radiant barrier. You can use the radiant barrier as a baffle. There’s RUclips videos on it with a quick google search. Will save money and time
25% off through end of Aug '24 if an Inside Trac Member, just picked one up today. I thought it came with wood like the dollies but nope. Thanks for your walkthrough.
Hello. I have a GB70 and I did your method but I have charged it for 3 days and it has barely reached 10v... why is it charging so hard? at first I was charging it with 12v now I use another 16v. from 2.4v to 10v in 3 days seems a lot to me. thank you
It's possible you have a damaged or bad cell in there. In that case, this charging method won't work. Sorry! You can try completely draining the battery pack and attempt again a couple times. Sometimes that will help get things working again.
@@jimginnyohiohow I drain the battery?
@@costiciuca9506 Connect everything as I explain how to charge, but then use the positive and negative leads to connect to some sort of load instead until the battery is completely drained. then try charging again.
Thanks so much for making this video. After having my second Noco Boost jump box die I was about ready to toss it and move on to another brand. Came across your video and was able to save it using your technique. Thanks so much for helping the community!
You are to turn off and let cool and clean everyday you use it. I bought a wood stove. I dont recommend this stove.
Your attic has competing ventilation (both a ridge and gable vents). When the house was built, it was constructed with gable vents (ends of the house) and when the roof surface was replaced the roofer upsold you a ridge vent. This causes superheated attic temperatures that lead to premature roof failure and increased energy costs. Reroute your bathroom exhaust fans to the soffit vents on a cap and simply block off your gable vents from the inside.
Great Video - I am looking at doing some of this - this fall. What did you end up putting on top? Batts or did you get it blown in or did you DIY? Curious as we have a very low pitch roof and I'm afraid of those roof nails! We are near Toronto and I'm wondering what R value you went to.
We ended up blowing in new cellulose insulation. It was the least costly and easiest option to go with. Thanks for watching!
@@jimginnyohio would you highly recommend the foil? I haven’t heard of that before.
@@susannyilas9308 I've used it at two of my last homes. It makes a noticeable difference immediately...although, it's a real pain to install. Best doing it in the late fall to early spring to avoid the high temperatures in the attic.
I have GBX 155 also that is completely dead even though it has been plugged in the whole time ive had it. i tried today to charge it using the cigarette lighter that comes with it, thinking I might have a bad cord . Nothing yet. iIs it possible I fried the board by having it plugged in all the time?
@@RobinDewitz It’s really not a good idea to leave it plugged in all the time. You can try getting a new cord. Maybe that will help. Try depleting the batteries completely and try again..
Just curious and hope you see this Jim. Is there any long term impact to the batteries in the charger by letting the batteries "die" and then using this process to revive them? I have a different portable unit, Winplus car starter/USB power pack, that is possibly having the same issue. I'm a bit concerned that the lithium batteries may be permanently affected but the total discharge and then reviving them.
Lithium batteries normally don't have a memory like the old nicad/nickel batteries. I've had some lithium (18650) batteries sit dead for several years and I was still able to revive them for use again. It's best to recharge them as slowly as possible though. Also, they may require several full charge/discharge cycles before they are fully revived to a fully functional state. Good luck with the Winplus unit!
@@jimginnyohio Thanks Jim. I ask this question because I used to fly RC planes, maybe I'll get back into it, so I'm very cautious about LiPo batteries. When they swell, BTW, laptop LiPo's swell too, then it's time to replace the batteries. I didn't want to invest in getting this device operational only to have it blow up in my car. Really appreciate the work you are doing to revive batteries. One would think that the manufacturers would build a bypass into the device to resurrect it from deep discharge but nooooooo, that would cost a few pennies too much...
@@ferniefuentes3690 Yes, I’m familiar with the LiPos since I too used to fly planes. There is a big difference in Lithium Polymer versus Lithium Ion batteries. While the Ion batteries can indeed catch fire, they are far safer than the LiPos that we used to place into a fire safe bag when charging. If a LiPo pouch cell swells too much, it will usually vent and catch fire. However, with the Lithium Ion cells, they will usually just vent unless they are violently damaged. I stressed in the video to only bring the batteries up to a working voltage and then switch back to charging thru the BMS. That is an important step to remain protected and minimize risks to the batteries, device, and yourself.
where did you get the sparrow trap
SparrowTraps.net
treated wood? any worries about leaching into your soil?
Modern treated wood is made with copper sulphate instead of arsenic as in the old days. This isn't so much of a concern these days. Also, not so much of the soil will ever be in contact with the wood.
@@jimginnyohio good to know, ty
Great video! I did this all to my attic 3 years ago. Makes a huge difference. An electric staple gun helped immensely with the attic foil.
Looks like a good one
@@offgridwanabe Thank you!
You two seem to know the secrets of gardening.
I sure am trying! ;-)
I have the Noco 1 trickle charger. I'm guessing it will require more than 15 - 20 mins for that initial boost with it being only 1 amp ?
Would love to get you to take a look at my attic I know this is going on can’t execute it myself.
6 of the same beds. Same problem. After the season im going to dig them out and make my own braces.
I was able to get them to send me some braces. However, to install them, you have to completely remove all of the soil around the perimeter of the beds and also down the middle where the braces go. It's a real pain having to do all this work twice. I wish there was a way to sue them for false advertisement since they originally advertised the beds as "having thicker metal with no need for support rods". I will continue spreading the word for people NOT to purchase from them. I hope you do too! Best wishes in getting yours fixed at the end of the season! Thanks for sharing your experience too!
Can this be made sugar free?
Thank you so much!
This revived my GBX75 after 2 years!
Nice! I'm glad that worked for you. Cheers!
So I have a question to ask. Unless I missed the answer, if you are successful using your fix, how do you keep from having the issue happen again? Is it making sure you keep the jump started charged?
@@OBrienTruckers1934 Yes, that is the key. If it’s not used for a long period of time, it’s still important to maintain it over time by plugging it in for a quick top-up charge cycle.
Great idea
@@offgridwanabe Thank you!
Thanks for the video. It was useful info for me.
That attic is so spacious. 😢
Did you remove all the old insulation before you blew in the new insulation or just do a blow over of the existing?
@@rogerlegreid5115 I removed about 3 inches of the uppermost layer since it appeared really dirty and then blew new insulation over top of the old stuff that was left.
Can I connect the trickle charger directly to the clamps on the Noco box, or do I have to put the negative clamps into the actually charger like you have
@@damian4483 You will need to do it like I did otherwise the battery will not charge.
@@jimginnyohio ok so black terminal needs to go into the “in/out” of the battery and the red terminal goes straight onto the battery box red terminal itself
This video is superb I understood everything that was explained I'm now going to put it unto practice thanks I'll let you know how it goes
I am extremely grateful my charger is now fixed and working like new thank you so much for you video really helped alot 😀
