It's true those things are dangerous! Take care when using those kinds of equipment to have a buddy help. If for nothing else to have someone run and call 911 if necessary! We dug our holes by hand. 100 of them! But we have river loam. Still I hired someone after digging a handful of...

Red I noticed you are not fenced. You don't have deer problems with all those woods interspersed? Marshall, It was the kitchen bus. But this is Keezy country. They own Springfield Creamery and his clown school was not far from here. Ridgerunner, I see that you went ahead and fenced your...

Soooo cute! Who can resist a baby lamb! Your property is wonderful. What kind of tractor you got there?

They finally banned the bag here in Eugene. So happy. I like my Costco bags as I can wipe them out. But I do have other bags that are burlap. I bought some outside canvas to make bags from so I could wash them and make them just how I wanted. I bought the fabric 6 months ago...sigh.:hu One...

I encourage you to read up on Buckwheat. Low glycemic index makes it great. PLUS it is almost a complete protein. Almost perfected pancake recipe. The secret is yeast and sitting overnight in the fridge. I will post soon!

I am so blessed to live outside Eugene. Eugene is like a natural food Mecca. We have vegetarian options on almost every menu in town (i'm NOT veg) and even vegan options most places. While most towns I visit have small "natural" foods sections, every store here has one. And there is a...

To break the surface tension on dry potting media or outside soils (surface tension causes teh water to bead off) add a little dish soap to your water, mix in water thoroughly and then water in. Sometimes teh media is just too dry and a little chemistry is needed. Also, when media is really...

Well, I can't say enough for my Vitamix. I make raw foods and so I am always grinding nuts, seeds, and grains. It is truly superb, easy to handle and of course the other attachment blender can liquefy seeds in smoothies, make soups, and ice cream. It's spendy, but you will never need another...

We have opted for a permanent fence around the orchard and canning garden. (800'!) The deer just keep ripping through the fence. W have bee going round and round about weed control on the fence line. I like the heavy chips you chose. The look is quite nice. Maybe cardboard and that would...

Plant while moon is waxing. The earlier the better. My hubby farmed for 20 years and swears by it!

What are you canning? I only use my pressure canner for meats, soups and such. i'm with Hoodat. If you can, get a big one! I wish I had bought a bigger one. For the most part I do everything water bath. You will find another thread in the canning section with pressure canner in the subject...

Nurseries keep em in pots. So can you! At least until you can safely plant. But if they are in plastic bags they will keep longer than you think.

LOL! :lau Did you see our motorhome from the top? It went to Burning Man one year. It has been spray painted with this wild city scene with what were 2 naked women on it, but hubby spray painted bikinis on them. It was quite something to take that down the road! And not far is the Hippy...

:yuckyuck Major, I used to live over in your neck of the woods in a little town called Soldier, KY. It's between Grayson and Moorehead (I64). I know your type of folks; "good-ol-boys". :D Here in Oregon we are much the same. I don't even have a house key, but I think my hubby does. We like...
