I love my flame weeder. I use it in the rows and in difficult areas. Around your chain link is ideal. No need to constantly break string on your weed eater. you willlove it. Get a little trolly though. I have a back pack and it is a killer!

I'd contribute to: recipes and canning OG pest control Maybe I would do something on planning and thinking from a permacultural perspective? Maybe I would give a stack of little truisms on gardening we would sprinkle throughout!

I have missed all of you. Thanks to Marshal who sent me a little note saying I was missed! :love This year's farming was miserable. I have an update on our pitfalls and minor successes on my blog if you are interested. http://heronsnestfarm.blogspot.com/2012/09/farming-2012.html I have...

My first thought was over watering too. They like bright, indirect light. Don't repot! It's already stressed. Do you use city water? You might try bottled spring water and allow to dry out a bit. before watering. Maybe a little fish in your water? Just a little to green it up (once) and...

I agree that a seperation may help. Also, interjecting a few new hens may bond the original flock, but make sure you have at least a pair you introduce because it seems that the new hens are their own flock and you don't want a lonely chicken or another pecked one.

Sunflowers alkways make me feel so good. They ARE summer!
