    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    It has to be a good product if it works and takes more time. I think the chemical companies have hood winked the general public to think that you should buy/use a spray that kills dandelions in the cracks of your driveway while you watch it die! :th

    Ducks ALIVE in 2025!

    There is a company, Spalding, that grows these. I have to assume that they are sterile, else they would breed, and then I would only have to buy them 1x/year, and they wouldn't make money. These little bugs eat fly larvae and cut down on my property fly population considerably. You tell them...

    Ducks ALIVE in 2025!

    So...I ordered my year's worth of Fly Predators back in April. Wondering why I wasn't getting them so I called. My CC had been reissued since last year, so it didn't go through. No problem, they would just send extra shipments. DH stopped at the Post Office last week and I had 3 packages of...

NO RAIN...

    Your Weather, 2025

    Got rain last night. I can tell bc neighbors across the street have their "rain puddle" at the entrance to their driveway. Could really use more... DH complained of being cold on the porch, probably bc we have been living in the AC for nearly 3 weeks straight. It feels like living in Michigan...

    2025 Little Easy Bean Network - Growers Of The Future Will Be Glad We Saved

    @heirloomgirl, these European rabbits, NOT natives breed like...rabbits! I once saw an episode on "Croc Hunter"--I know he passed away some 15 years ago--on how multiplying mice will gnaw away at contained livestock, in this case hogs, tormenting them and making them ill. Rabbits are similar...
