    wondering about backyard herds

    I have been registered w/backyardherds.com Once they changed to the new format, I can no longer get on . I can't remember my password. they won't let me create a new one, won't let me start all over - I'm just blocked. does anyone know how to get to their site manager or something?

    i want to figure out how to make money from the land

    good grief! the ideas are amazing & scary. I love the idea of helping/teaching people how to grow their own food. it would be so great to kinda do it like I've seen on tv in great Britain. they have these coop things going on. I'm sure they're here too, but I've never seen one in action...

    i want to figure out how to make money from the land

    I haven't worked outside the home since my son died ten years ago. after a decade of grief, I'm crawling out from under, but those years of grief have taken a big toll on my health & endurance. our income is very finite & not expected to bloom anytime soon. we do, however, have land. I'm...

    Kitchen Safety

    my mother used to wash the bread bags & stick 'em on the cabinet to dry. when they were dry, they would drop to the counter & she would put them away. my tip is keep the knives sharp & use the best you can. sharpen them often. I think you're not supposed to put good knives in the dishwasher...

    Are You Ready to Step Beyond Stevia?

    sounds interesting. I like diabetic friendly sweetners - now if someone would just come up with a flour sub I could have all the pastries I want. I would like to see king corn take a hit. not that I'm against farmers - but I've read how millions of acres a year of conservation land is being...

    Can't Cook for Beans!

    I was going to do unconventional - but at the groc store I snagged a fresh (never frozen/organic) turkey for $16. was supposed to be $38. & somebody goofed. the meat guy handed it to me & said "Merry Christmas". that's not vegetable - but I wanted to share my good fortune. for vegetable, I'm...
