I have 14 goats, Alpine, Alpine X Nubian, Saanen X Boer, Arapawa, Arapawa X LaMancha, Saanen X LaMancha. Hopefully will be breeding this Fall or Winter to have Spring babies. Building a herd for milk, brush control & pets. Here in Maine many breeders raise goats for meat, such as the boer &...

Snow peas, snow corn, snow carrots, snow lettuce, & 8 more inch's of snow.

The top on the tank is wire mesh. The tank is an old reptile tank, which is not the heavy glass aquarium. Any closer to the lights and the plant tops would burn off. I'll change the lighting to a different bulb. bob

Those are 40 watt incandescent bulbs. I could go to a softer bulb, one of those swirlie kind. bob

Picked them up higher to the light at 3", plant tops may be a tad closer. I do blow at them or brush the tops from an article I read that says it will strengthen them. I'm using 40 watt bulbs. How soon do I have to lower them? bob

I'll try that. This is what the set up looks like. Thanks for the suggestion. bob

This is my first time trying to start tomato seeds indoors before planting season. I'm using a shallow 40 gallon fish tank with an overhead light. Seeds are planted in one of those starter trays you get from walmart or any garden center. Not one of those peat pellet type's you need to soak...

Now if we can only find someone who grows the HeartNut tree to find out first hand, that would be helpful. I also want to order a pair of those tree's myself. One thing I noticed is that it can grow to 50' and the spread is quite big and can achieve 98'. bob

I found that site also. I like the fact of being cold hardy and more disease resistant than the english walnut. When I started I was more interested in the english walnut and being a member of the arbor day foundation where you can buy the english tree I asked them a bunch of questions about...

Does anyone grow heartnut tree's and in what state. Thanks, bob/Maine

That was interesting information that I didn't know. It pays to ask questions from owners. I read that seedling tree's take longer to produce their fruit versus a grafted. I'll make note of root stock grafted tree's and ask questions before I buy. I did read also about the black walnut roots...

Carpathian English Walnut - Juglans regia 'Carpathian' Looking for information from anyone who has grown this type of nut tree, especially in a colder climate. I live in Southern Maine and have been thinking of trying this type of tree out. I know it takes 5 to 7 years to produce and you...

It's not a moss or fungus but looks very similar to a ground creeping ivy. bob

Me too,

Would anyone know what this is? It's bright yellow and growing in size on my lawn. What is recommended to eradicate this problem. I'm getting more and more weeds like this in my lawn this past year. Sorry the photo is a little off this morning. bob

I would agree that completely composted material would be beneficial, but I've read somewhere that using manure around fruit trees would cause the fruit to absorb the manure's un-beneficial properties and could pose a health risk.

The photo was taken in the evening and they do get at least 6 hours of full sun. Last late fall they were supposed to be moved from my garden area to a better location but I lost my help and they had to remain where they are for this summer. I do know to prune and move apple trees during their...

A little over 3 years ago my daughter surprised me for my birthday with 2 apple trees. I could have sworn she told me one was a "Gala" & the other a "Red Delicious". I asked her today if she remembered what they were and she thought they were a Mackintosh and a Red Delicious. I guess she...

For those who have chickens if using their waste mixture of hay/chicken poop would be too much as a fill below a layer of soil to act as a fertilizer. bob
