I've seen a couple of videos from this guy who is doing DIY hydroponics using pool noodles, 5gal buckets & some sort of homemade nutrient water. Has anyone seen him? Naturally, when I want to post a question, I can't find a video to link. I always thought it would be too expensive and too...

I've recently expanded my chicken's yard with the idea of cutting it into 2 'paddocks'. I want to be able to grow something for them to eat in one side while they're in the other - and then switch them back and forth. Can anyone suggest a few things that will grow fast, has seeds readily...

I can't go a day on F.book & podcasts & such without someone asking to identify a picture of a worm. Have yall had much of a discussion about them here? The general consensus seems to be : ya can't beat'um.. just try to learn to live with them 🤔

Hi everyone. I haven't been on much lately - just not a lot of 'garden' stuff going on around here this year. I stop in now and then to see what yall are up to though. Anywho, I wanted to pop in and share with those that might be interested that Eva has had calf #3. A boy with a WILD white...

I've been wanting to put in an asparagus bed and since I'm cutting way back on tomatoes, I'm thinking of putting it where my tomatoes usually go. (rich soil, good drainage, fence along one side, full sun) Can anyone think of any reason that sunflowers wouldn't do well in the same space? Since...

What are you planting new this year - and where are you getting it??? It's time for those seed catalogs to come flooding in. Which are your favorite? Which are your Tried & True ever-faithful standbys? I'll be cutting way back on tomatoes this year which will free up A LOT of space to try...

Down here we call them pee-cans, up north y'all (wrongly) call them pee-cauns..... But regardless of what you call them, I need some advice. I picked up 2 a couple of weeks ago. I had no intention of getting them .... but adding 2 more got me the 'buy 5 & get 1/2off' deal.. Sooo I NEED to get...

I just got elected to bring desert for Easter. I have several jars of peaches canned from last year and lots and lots of cream and fresh milk. I'm thinking Peach Ice Cream! :drool Humm.. now that I think about it, I've got a good bit of strawberries too.. maybe some of each. ;) ...but.. I...

I saw this article today (on facebook...) "New bill would allow farmers to sue Monsanto if GMO crops invade their property" https://wisemindhealthybody.com/naturalnews/bill-allow-farmers-sue-monsanto-if-gmo-crops-invade-property/?fbclid=IwAR3dMhIpMYsJIi7isVkdXqfLmM2elxADH1pGcJIR2kYr2frOv0jHHPUXj7I

I have NEVER had spring allergies before. NEVER. I get a bit of a stuffy head in the fall. A couple of days feeling a little off.. no big deal. Suddenly this year I have ALLERGIES! What in the WORLD??? And in the SPRING! When we're all so happy to finally be outside again... I have been...

The Year Of The Mud... so far :\ Seed starting planned for this weekend on some 'cool weather' crops. I've never done those before, so this should be interesting. But until then - anxiously awaiting Eva's calf. I was brushing her yesterday and got to watch it moving ALL AROUND in there! I...

I just saw an ad on my cow forum for 3 FREE AGH about 2-3hrs from me. I'm not set up for pigs right now but DO intend to add them to the farm at some point and have always planned for it to be AGH. So, at that price, I can't hardly not consider moving that time line WAY up. I've PMed for more...

I'm just about at my wits end - and yall have ALWAYS been so helpful - so I'm grasping at straws A couple of years ago I busted my savings and bought a generator. I have not had to USE it one single time thank goodness. But when I will need it - it needs to work. I have started it up every...

I have 2 large Rose of Sharon shrubs that :)someone sent me a few years ago. They have L.O.T.S. of babies all around them ranging in size from tiny little sprouts to plants a couple of feet tall. I want to move some to the other side of the house and it occurred to me that with this unending...

Adopted today. I didn't try to take a picture of her because there was nothing to see but HUGE eyes the back of the carrier. She is a black, short hair cat with a chopped off 3" long tail (accident?). I thought... since Chaos (the giant fluffy beast) needed a friend in the barn, maybe this was...

that it would make a great movie? I just finished Stoneheart by Baer Charlton. Not exactly my usual 'drive time' audiobook choice, but a really good story. Clear and varied characters. Redeeming thread throughout with good ending. It would make a great movie.

A couple of weeks ago I was talking with a friend who has lost several chickens to predators. She said that with coyote and bear sighting getting more and more common in our area, she and her husband never leave the house after dark without a weapon. I jokingly told her that the best I can...

Is there a traditional gift that you either receive or give every year? When we were kids one of the things that we'd always find in our stocking was a Lifesavers Book. We grew up and Santa stopped filling our stockings, but I make sure there is a gift under the tree every year TO: Pam FROM...

Most of the time I enjoy the 'yard noise' while working in the garden. But sometimes - when a bit too much noise is drifting in from the neighbor's - it might be nice to have some music out there. What about you, do you play music while you garden? What do you use? Wireless speaker...

Last Christmas my BIL wanted one of those Atomic Beam flashlights that they advertise on TV. At the time, I was spending a lot of time outside before the sun came up. Since both of us hate shopping, I told him that if he gave me the headlamp I would give him the flashlight - and neither of us...
