I use paper feed sacks,split open and wet down.They last about 6 months and can be easily punched through if you want to plant something there.

I slice the big ones into rounds about 1/4" thick,coat them with olive oil and seasonings,and grill them until slightly charred and tender.Let them cool and freeze them.I usually eat most of them immediately.I love these with plenty of garlic and salt.They are really good and habit forming.

I watch it regularly on the Destination America channel on Dish Network.The show comes on Saturday nights,I believe at 8:00pm Central time.I think I've seen reruns on the Rural or RFD channel.It's a good program,IMHO.

I agree with so lucky.Sell the walnut and buy wood that is more suitable for building a log cabin.You may be able to build the cabin and come out with money to spare. It would be a terrible waste to use the walnut for framing walls and rafters. I've read that a fellow could retire comfortably...

Great post,Boogity.You hit the nail on the head.Our great country is so full of slackers,drug heads,idiots,fools,and all around useless people that I see nothing but trouble ahead for those of us work and are productive citizens. God help the stupid,lazy pieces of human debris that are foolish...

My only experience with pellet rifles is with a Benjamin pump in .22 caliber I've had since I was a kid.I'm 60 now and it still shoots well today.I've killed many squirrels with it.It shoots like a .22 out to about 25 yards.Plenty of power to kill a rabbit.

Several years ago,I found one in a roadside dump near my home.I pulled it out of the weeds with my truck and took it apart.The mesh was fastened on with self-tapping screws,which I removed and kept.I made several cages out of the mesh and reused the screws also.

CK,it's been about 13 yrs since I worked for a home builder,having gone into custom cabinetry.I'll tell you what I'm familiar with,however. Here in Mississippi we would spread plastic sheeting on the ground under the floor for a vapor barrier.We cut it as close to the foundation's block walls...

I built my own house,CountryKat.What questions do you have? Andy J

Gardenweasel,I've been plumbing many years and I've never heard of a fitting of that size.Could it be the water filter is connected with garden hose fittings?If so,you would need an adapter in 3/4"female pipe thread to garden hose male.Those come in either hard or swivel connections.I cannot...

I'm with you ,Athene.My homeowner's policy,full replacement value,got so expensive I had them put a dollar amount on the coverage.The premiums had gone up $100-$150 per year until it got to $1300 a year on my plain Jane 1450 sq. ft.brick home that I built myself 12 yrs ago. The company...

Same here,MuttlyCrew.I have only two strands of wire,but it works great.I can't tell you how many fine laying hens I lost to raccoons until I put up the wire.One shock for the dogs and they're good forever. One bad experience:I was working near the wire once when my cell phone rang.It was on...

I have a blind Dominique rooster,3 years old,who fares very well for himself.He can find the food and water easily and he's very healthy and fat.He does get picked on by some of the other birds.He may be able to tell daylight from dark;but he certainly can't see when I wave my hand in front of...

Ya'll are lucky.In my area you can't give a rooster away.Everytime I hatch chicks in my incubator,I average 65-70% roosters.It's mighty depressing!If any die before maturity,it's always a pullet.

That looks like oak leaf lettuce to me.I grow it myself for that very reason.If you plant it in the fall in my area,it will overwinter and will begin to bolt in late April.My spring planted crop is doing well,even with temperatures near 90 degrees.
