Praises!!!! No cancer. Yesterday, I cleaned the garden spot a little with a hoe. Coco, Mocha, and Nutmeg helped until Nutmeg needed to lay an egg so they all went back in. It is still too early for many worms or grubs to have come up near the surface but the hens found a few of each and a few...

I should be starting seeds now. I don't have the umph to do it. Usually, it is stress reliever. This year, the thought of it is adding stress. Dh and I will both be gone for a week at very bad timing for the starts. I think I can rig up watering but lighting is a problem. I don't have a good...

Our traps were set inside the garden fence or inside the garage. The coyotes can't get to either. Raccoons could go over the fence if they really wanted to but I can see why it isn't worth it - 5' high fence with quite a bit of wobble to the wire parts. The wobble makes it harder for them to...

Mouse traps work well. We caught six in the garden the first year. And one in the garage last week. It isn't much different than trapping mice.

Today, I ordered 50 white spruce trees. About four are for the yard to fill gaps in the row and the rest are for the farm. It was the last lot of that tree in that size. They were the only thing we were sure we were getting this year. Blueberries, another josta berry, a tart cherry, a pear, and...

Yes, cereal rye has some allelopathic properties. You can use a truck to pull some implements. My tractor's hydraulic system has some issues. It is essentially a truck when it comes to the disk or plow - I have to get off and hand crank the plates/shears up and down.

I would try mowing it as low as you can set the mower. Repeating as soon as the grass is high enough for the blade to catch much of it. Repeating multiple times. It would be most effective and most efficient to wait until the summer. Once most of it gives up, or a few weeks before you expect...

Thank you.

Another alternative to vermiculite might be ground corn cobs. I didn't see it anywhere and haven't looked for info on that. Yet, anyway.

Maybe. It has asbestos sometimes. Rice Hulls. Link to info I found a paper on how rice hulls are not as effective as vermiculite or perlite but it was put out by suppliers of perlite. Link. Their main point was rice hulls are flatter so don't provide as much benefit to soil structure as the...

That depends on how thick the S is. If it doesn't coat everything too thickly, you probably could keep enough of it to be much better off. More so if enough other people are encouraged/helped to garden too.

Our dr told us to put airproof tape (we used white bandage tape) over them for 23 hours a day and soak them in epsom salt water for the other hour. He said theory is depriving them of oxygen will make them go away. He thought it worked as well as burning or cutting, better than using acid, and...

Nearly all the time, the reason one variety of apple can or can't pollinate another kind is bloom time. They have to bloom at the same time or at least have bloom times that overlap. For a very few varieties or pairs of varieties there are other factors involved. Crab or not doesn't matter.

The description for the Habanero Sweet Red says, "Contains the same fruity flavor as their hot cousins but without the scorching heat. These red lantern-shaped peppers mature slightly earlier than the standard red habenero." It doesn't give a RSR number though.

Seeds arrived! We ordered on Monday; Victory seeds came Friday and E and R seeds came today. I'm very happy with both companies on the timing. All the peppers from E and R are on back order, sadly. I liked last year's pepper varieties and have enough seeds from last year for those. I wanted to...

Yep. An advantage living nearly on top of the equator. And, probably, having other factors there. But really does rain often enough but not too much. It took me a while to understand - it is such a paradigm shift from here.

Do you see the conversation I started? I pasted the text there. I agree with all this (in your quote, I mean). I don't want the mining polluting the Congo either - I edited my last post to add that I've been paying a lot more attention to that country since my son met his fiancée who is Conglese.

Yes. And what happens with the batteries after. https://www.duluthnewstribune.com/opinion/columns/local-view-dont-buy-alternative-facts-on-mining-near-bwcaw https://apnews.com/article/twin-metals-mine-environment-boundary-waters-wilderness-5005340ca31c10e0fe5eed4076ae8421 Edit to add: I've...

They do!!! I'm so glad I asked here. I would not have thought of tea bags. Thank you for all the ideas and discussions. I'd never considered dissecting a tea bag. It was much more interesting than I expected. I first made tea before taking apart the tea bag. Then sacrificed a tea bag of tea...

I do when it results in higher pollution globally. Shifting the pollution to other parts of world isn't really cleaning up. I noticed that cobalt minimg in the MN Boundary Waters area is a lot more problematic to many Americans than cobalt mining in Africa where about 70% is currently done.
