We can the bread and butter japs, good on grilled cheese sandwhiches. The poppers are my fav though. Either half them or cut off the top. More seeds left in = more heat. Fill with herbed cream cheese and top with a piece of bacon. Bake at 250 for about 45 mins. Grab and beer and dig in...

I read somewhere that bedwetting could be a magnesium deficiency. Magnesium is cheap. Worth a try.

I too visited the washboard factory in logan. My husband and I got married at Hocking Hills' Ash Cave. Anyway, have used my washboard for smaller articles of clothing (diapers, kids' clothes), nothing big. I should have got a larger washboard. Right now for me it is about saving money on...

We will be using it to start garden plants in the late Winter/early Spring mostly, but we may try to grow a few veggies in the Fall/early Winter (brocolli, lettuce, spinach). Starting plants is going to be it's primary function.

I am in the process of designing a small greenhouse. It is going to be a lean-to style 8'x16' with the 16' facing the South. I live in central Ohio. Does anyone know what the best angle for the roof would be for my situation?

Got a free bag of tshirts. Cut the sleeves off, cut the bottom 10" off and hemmed around all of it. This makes great bibs for the little one without the added expense of snaps, buttons or velcro. Took the extra material that was cut off and made some fem. pads.

We have an Oberhasli that just kidded for the first time this winter. She is such a gentle goat. Very friendly and a very good milker. I get 7 cups per milking. Milk two times a day. She is by far the best mother also. A little too good. Always wants the kid right there beside her when...

patandchickens, I feel for ya. I was "enlarged" and had milk for almost 2 years after I had quit breastfeeding my first child. Doc just said it happens sometimes. Dont know if this is the same with you though, as this just came about in the past week. I had read that you can take parsley (I...

I read about this as well. Sneaky little snots arent they?!

After miking the goat (milk is warm), do you heat up the milk. The recipe I have says to heat the milk to 185'F then down to 110'F b/f adding the culture. I dont want to kill all the "good" stuff by heating up, but dont want any bad bacteria to multiply.

We just hooked up our woodburner two weeks ago. The cost of fuel oil was crazy! We were spending about 100/week for fuel to keep the temp. at 63' in the house. We have little ones, so I would always just bundle them up with warm clothes durning the day. Now with the woodburner my 4yr old...

My daughter will "thank" her hens by giving them a big hug. If we have slackers though they are told: "breakfast or dinner, which one is it gonna be?":D

I always make a double batch of dough and stretch out to size that will fit in gallon bag. Then I pre-bake for a few mins.--just enough where I can lift it off the pan and put in the bag. After the pre-bake I add the sauce, cheese and toppings. Into the freezer and a very quick meal when...

We give our chickens food grade DE powder. Supposed to kill all kinds of "nasties" inside and out. Our hens are still laying, just slowing down a bit (RIR, Buffs, Black Australorp) They do have artificial lights and we also give canned tuna every once in a while for some additional protein...

The legal writing of these things are very confusing--to me at least. That is why I called my rep. and got the info directly. All my questions answered and a little peace of mind as to what exactly I am voting on.
