    Putting up dry goods in canning jars

    I've been using the jar attachment for several weeks and I love it!!! I like that I can open the jar, take out what I need and then reseal it with the same lid. Just be sure that the jars and lids are totally dry before adding the food. To open the jar, place a spoon where the thread meets...

    My dog ate a squeaker toy... :/

    A friend was cleaning up after his large puppy and discovered a pair of expensive panties that his wife had lost. Nope, she didn't keep them... :lol: My puppy swallowed the pointy end of a toothpick so I fed her a couple of pieces of cotton balls soaked in olive oil. The next day I found the...

    hugelkultur: raised garden beds that don't need irrigation

    I used one of my 4' x 6' raised beds and made a hugelkultur today. First I dug a hole about 18" deep and added some water. Chunks of firewood were placed in the hole and since the wood was really dry, I added more water. I dumped used potting soil on top of the wood and watered again. Since...

    Shopping for a Dehydrator

    I just replaced my 18 yr old American Harvest Snackmaster with the new Snackmaster. In fact, I got it today and I'm currently drying sliced bananas and carrots. My old model had the fan on the bottom and I never had to rotate the trays. I'm waiting to see if having the fan located on the top...

    FWIW, $1300 per Acre Land in Arkansas
