I swear the stink of those bags attract even more flies, I'm trying hard not to attract the dern things, we have farm pasture around us, but with our nice tree line, the cows like to hang around right at our fence and probably poop TONS. (I should go steal poop! Hmmmmmmmmmm) Anyhoo - I am...

I tested our water. it came back with a 6.5-7 ph which is pretty darn good I think! :D I am waiting for hubby to build me a little raised platform for the rainforest. I bought him a compound miter saw for his birthday (which is tomorrow) and stupid ups delivered without me hearing their...

I'm trying predators this year! Just put out my second shipment of the little boogers, and I swear they're working already! (purchased from Spalding labs) I've tried EVERYTHING, this is kinda a last ditch effort, last year we were just over-run with them, couldn't walk in the coop with out a...

:gig my hubby gets so MAD when he's outside trying to BBQ and gets surounded by starving chickens! :gig

Mine are slightly narrower - 6x3 so I can reach from one side and get to the other (across the 3ft part) First one we made I used hoops over the top and plastic fencing. its a little flimsy and the sides will have to have very short plants. The second one we built we made the side 4x4's...

I'm going to buy it online, really near me there is nothing, walmart is about it other than the feed store. I'll be keeping the system in our dining area, (open plan to the tiny kitchen!) The closest place to drain would be to wheel to the sliding door and dump it out there (is it ok to just...

I checked walmart for the PH testing kit - nothing.! I received my Raintree today :P I can't really do anything with it yet - I need the light to arrive first. I also want to buy a little wheeled stand or caddy so when this thing is FULL I can still move it to drain it out. So with any...

http://www.sufficientself.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5354&p=5 Post #42 of that thread kinda has a picture of the area, my daughter on a swing hanging from the walnut tree. The walnut tree is kinda at the edge of the leach field to the east of it. The area behind where my kiddo is swinging...

Well, the system is 30 years old, we had to have it pumped out last year the guy said the pipes to the field must have been blocked - probably still are. The area I would plant the trees would be a good 30-40 feet from the tank itself, and there are trees even closer than that at the moment, we...

Is it a good or really bad idea to plant fruit trees in or just in front of the septic leach field?

Chicken poop needs something like a year before its not too hot.

:frow I gave up the weed fight (and the gopher fight) and built raised beds this year. So far I have two going already up and in place with some seeds planted. I have two beds still in the garage being put together. The two out already are 6x3 ft. and then I have a 4x2 and a 6x2 in the...

I bought a small bottle of something or other to soak the rockwool, I have a few PH strips left (fish tank) but I couldn't find more at the store so I still need to get up on that.. I bought a soil meter thing, but it isn't digital, so leaves alot of guesses going on, and thats just for my...

I have a hardware cloth fence around my raised beds, I have to keep chickens, guinea's and ducks out of them!

I have rockwool coming in the mail as well. :lol: and those clay rock thingies (hydroton?) Bummer on the faster starts, I wanted to get a couple of the pear tomato's going to catch up with the rest and then pop them in the garden... they take 75 days so its a LONG time to wait! I can't grow...

Oooooooooo thats lovely! I like to slice my cucumber, and soak it in a mix of vinegar, salt and curry powder - then I munch! I bought some Lemon cucumber seeds to try. Here is a question, can I get seeds to start faster using hydroponics and then plant them out in the yard? I bought the...

Oh No I missed a sale! DARN IT ! I did look at their greenhouses earlier, they look really nice, well except the real small one for $300 (something) that looked a little too small. I just sprouted a cucumber in the house. :P long way off picking anything
