IF (big if) the jugs are all the same size, just screw some wooden cleats on the floor so you have to put the in the right spot and they can't easily move.
That looks a lot like mullien to me...
I'd say so since it seems harder than just doing two gallons of one thing.
Ahh, I initially thought your question was: Could you do 2 gallons of oats and wheat.  IE things within the same bullet point.  I would say that you can't split your effort between the two (corn and non-corn), as the BB is written.

In that foraging BB, the example is for things at the same quantity.  2 lbs of choke cherries or 2 lbs of mulberries or a combo
I'm guessing if you email Linda, you can find out
Neat, I'm the first one to apply for the Food Prep Straw badge!!!

This took way longer than I thought.  Some of the food preservation tasks I had to redo multiple times (fermentation, I'm looking at you) cuz it's so easy to take the pictures up front and miss one in process and think you have them when you go to submit the batch.

If there isn't frost elsewhere in the garden/landscape, I don't think it will magically appear in the frost pocket.  It's just a place for frost to collect so when frosts happen, they'll definitely affect plants down there if they're sensitive.

Isn't that how the willow bank sink works?  Or is it the willowonka?  I like that too.  

I suspect they're also trying to get around the issue of filling the water jugs the foot pumps suck from...
I'd run a hose from the spigot to the station.  Have a Tee at the station within reach of both faucet's stainless steel braided (or plastic) supply hoses.  Tee them all together.  Voila, pressurized water running thru each faucet as it was intended by the designer.

Clean and oil one of the following tools:
 - chop saw
 - table saw
 - power planer / joiner
 - band saw
 - bench grinder
 - drill press
 - sawmill

To get certified for this BB, post three pics:

  - pic of tool before cleaning and oiling
  - pic of tool while cleaning
  - pic of tool after cleaning and oiling


My planer was making bad noises and sending sparks flying so I needed to take it apart anyway.  Turns out it was a broken pulley so I fixed that, cleaned, oiled and reassembled it.
