I had to throw out eight tray of moldy, rancid fodder today. It seems that just about every fodder growing blogger grows fodder in his/her laundry room, so I set my trays in there, too. I have the dehumidifier running constantly, which blows out more heat into an already hot room. I...

I bought it on Amazon, so no dealer to talk with. If it can't fit in the back seat of my car, I order things on Amazon so delivery is not a problem. Someday, I will have a pickup truck.

Me too!

OK, I know everything is made up of elements, so everything is made up of chemical compounds and whatnot. :) I am trying to keep my sheep healthier without developing parasite resistance to traditional wormers.

It is a new machine, and other than attaching the wheels with the lynch pins and bolting the handles in the correct positions, it was ready to go. The directions made it look a lot more complicated, but we decided that there must be a second model that requires more assembly. Here's a...

It is a Southland SRTT196E rear tine tiller. Thanks for asking, BeeKissed. It's getting a bit late, so I will try to get back to the fodder questions tomorrow.

Do any of you kind folks know anything about dosing sheep with DE? I am looking into non-chemical wormers, but haven't found much about proper dosing levels. Thanks!

Does anybody living in the Midwest really manage to grow mold-free fodder? Every time I think I have the right levels of water, air circulation, and humidity, the mold comes back. :he

Thanks for the advice. I had tried googling, but no such luck. I tried using it again today, but it kept sputtering out after I started it. I hope it just needs more gas!

There are so many deer who head into his fields for a buffet every evening that I doubt he would miss the few nibbles my girls managed to take. Actually "he" is an assumption on my part. I don't actually know who farms the acreage near us. I was told someone rented the land to work it, but...

So my fodder is coming along pretty well. I had to revamp some of my system today, but I think it will sprout better. I am noticing a small amount of white mold on the fodder that is almost ready. I already have a dehumidifier taking a significant amount of water out of the air, but I suppose...

BeeKissed, your advice is very sound and I thank you for it. We keep Finnish Landrace sheep. I chose them because I do use the wool (albeit not for spinning yet, as I had originally planned, but for stuffing handmade dolls), they are very friendly (even the rams are very sweet-tempered)...

I'm so glad, because you are! :)

Thank! I'll be sure to pay my dues at the door.
