Beautiful!

I too have the "chicken fryer" it is my go to, though the weight seems to get more as I age😂, I never scrub it, it removes the "seasoning" just a hot water rinse, then back on the heat to dry and a quick swipe with lard. Which fills/pocks in seasoning as it cools. Heat kills any bacteria. I can...

No worries! I too have an older Ford diesel box truck..i love mine! I do most of the work myself on her..shes a beast! Always there if i need storage or to make a few bucks helping friends...You are smart to start it every month..i start mine at least once a week in winter, letting it run til...

As others stated, Main use of dandilion is for blood/liver health. its loaded with potassium and iron. Leaves and flowers are used in spring; roots in fall. My knowledge was /is passed down from Grandmothers. It is not known for allergy relief. May i suggest buying a good quality honey or comb...

Same..our mindsets seem to be similar..i do have an Austrailian cattle dog..good at getting the ladies back where they need to be..sometimes a little to eager when they cross their boundries🙄I have more problems with coons, skunks and owls. So mine roam most days but lock up every night.

Kinda like grasshoppers indeed! great analogy😂 Could not have explained it better myself!. My chickens, i train to a chirrping sound. (around 330 to 430) Then give meal worms, crickets or larve. They will come and feed where ever i want them..Started that as a protein snack before darkness sets...

Only over winter..the i ner circle is where i plant the tomatoes. My original bed has a 5ft inner circle. Then 2nd ring is asparagus 11/2 to 2 ft. 3rd ring is the trench, where one would plant potatoes..If you ever ad more crowns..they would be placed in the 3rd ring then a 4th ring would...

I store flour in the cellar with success. but it is a constant 38 to 40degress F I have tried plastic, glass wood and metal, lined with plastic liner. I find all work though i like the convenience of plastic as i can stack them...one bucket for each type. I also strategically place sprigs of...

I have used these plastic shelving units..i place a wooden broom or shovel handle that broke off down in the "holes" ..Allows for more stability as i have had the plastic "give" and collaspe in the past. Awesome job too! Sure feels good when things are neat!

My apoligies im very tech challeged🙄 After potatoes are planted Is when i flood the trench, usually with water from duck ponds..this waters and fertilizes newly planted spuds. Ducks are usually turned into that garden the followin day. I agree with you, not that i NEVER rotate, but when i do...

Im apoligies for late reply..im not a "phone hugger" and rarely check.. plus this has been an exhausting week.. I live in the eastern side of Nebraska around the Omaha area. My ducks are turned into different gardens as needed. They root (think aerate) but do not destroy as chickens do..AS LONG...
