    Wind damage to corn - help?

    How disheartening :idunno! Leave it. It will straighten back up. Even when I cultivate and they get knocked they straighten. And plants can produce at all sorts of angles, right? A few nights ago i woke up to the sound of a few hail peices hitting the skylights. In a few moments I...

    I wish Bambi would die!

    The fencing is working!~ It's only on three sides, but we put it up based on their path. We live in green Oregon. If the food is not easily accessible, they move onto the next farm. I can't believe it! We wish we had done it last year! And the coolest part was that I called our local John...

    Bugs on tomatoes

    Green Light is really great. Their product line is affordable and in a lot of regular markets. I just paid $505 for my bottle of Pyganic! It should last a few years though. It was a real shock as they quoted me $168 over the phone. We just pick up at the farm store and they bill us later...

    Deer repentant?

    So someone told me to wisk egg whites in water and spray around the field. Should I put it ON the plants? Any thoughts on homemade repellents? What else are you using to deter these beasties?

    I wish Bambi would die!

    OK, so that sounds sooo mean, but hey! These deer are trying to kill my newly planted orchard and have just about killed the strawberries--all 400 we planted! So I put up deer fencing. It looks so neat and clean up in the field. I am wondering about the viability of deer fencing>? Any thoughts?

    I Need 12 Step Program

    I too am looking at resources. I want to do what I already have with excellence. I ask myself when tempted, "Will adding this actually be a benefit? Can I care for it? Should I buy some trick products for what I already have instead to satisfy my itch?" This is helping, but I'm afraid there...
