Ahh, but fiber is so beneficial, I didn't realize that juicing removed it. Oh well, shows how much I know.

What kind of apples did you use. Honeycrisp are my favorite for juicing.

day 2 of water fast. I shat waterfalls this morning.
I started my fast yesterday when I had leftovers of a NY strip steak, mashed potatoes, and sauteed onions/peppers in the fridge from the night before. I gave it to my wife for work-lunch today. I was sad to see it go, I really didn't think about that before I started my fast.

Thank po, feeling a bit loopy today. Enjoyed some pomegranate green tea earlier while I was working out back building some more raised beds.. I love getting a sweat on during a fast but it sure does take a bit out of me, it's been a while and I somewhat had forgotten how much hahaha

Well, I am ending my fast tonight so my wife and I can go out for sushi. Nice lil 3 day water fast. Thanks for the motivation, all these threads popping up reminded me I hadn't done one in months.

Nice. What have you got planned for those raised beds? What are the dimensions?

A ton of stuff, mostly hot peppers. I want to try to grow the majority of my own vegetables this year. I actually wrote a whole thread about it in the 'other growables forum', but here's some pics.
Big one is set to hold 3 cubic meters of soil for hot peppers and larger crops, small one is 1x1 meters and is for herbs
I also salvaged some wood from our old fence to grow carrots, lettuce, kale, and smaller veggies like that. I might have enough wood to build a coop for a flock of quail too, but I'm not sure.

Are you using the native soil shown in that picture or bringing dirt in?
Stuff looks pretty good, perhaps a bit low on the humus content.

No, the small bed for herbs is the only one that's stacked right now and it's filled with topsoil, perlite, sheep poo, peat, and mushroom compost.

Right on.
You know, depending on the pH and mineral content it might be worth using some of that native dirt as filler.
You can after-all overdo the organic component.

It's a mouth-full but with the ratios being what they are it's mostly just topsoil.
This native earth has a ton of sand and red clay in it, but that aside the only thing we've really got to grow in it was some chives in the far corner of the yard. Tried to get turf to stick, tried to grow grass, now we're going to just start covering shit with mulch for lack of success.
It sucks because it's not just me so the majority of the neighborhood looks like shit- most people have gravel front yards here. Looks ghetto as fuck, but whatever, me personally I'm going with mulch.
Our neighbor a couple doors down is a much more serious gardener than I am and told me not to even bother with the shit here, just to rotatill it and lay a couple feet of bulk topsoil over the entire thing. I thought that sounded like a lot of work so I went with raised beds.

Yeah, clay isn't really good for soil in large ratios, like 20% tops.
Hard to tell from the photos, looks loamy.
Good luck with you planting 
We are adding a whole bunch of humus to our soil this spring.
