The thing about lard [and many fats and oils] is that exposure to air causes it to go rancid not the temperature! Cold will slow the process as it does most chemical reactions but I can walk into a country store here in NC and buy lard that has never been in a refrig let alone a freezer. The...

Have you tried plantimg the rose hips? some are sterile because of the breeding is usually for the blooms and that is reason for deadheading too.The somple 5 petal rose produces lots of hips. Enough that they are considered weeds in cattle pastures. There are places on the internet where...

Since I moved to the South a few decades ago I dropped the word 'boy' from my common usage, many find the term to be an insult to their manhood. In college we considered the premed students to be 'curve wreckers' They had to have A or B+ to get into med school so I sort of expect a Doctor to...

Well here restaurant persons don't usually convert live animals into meals, and therefore inspected by local health departments. The persons that convert animals to meat are inspected by USDA. here at least the state is not involved with farm animals but have a lot to say about game...

Yep I have considered it and will dropout since I have no interest in Edison bulbs. My interest is in task lighting [like a workbench or for grow lights] basically the jobs that used 48" tubes. ~gd

If you are Solar why would ypu convert the DC from your cells to AC and than back to DC to run LEDs? To much alcohol fumes... ~gd

Well you are right about one thing. The more I read the more confused I get! Like how does the smoke get from the stove to the exhaust? You keep talking about complete combustion leaving no products of combustion which I know is wrong each mole of carbon is going to combine with either one...

Yep! turn loose the chickens in that orchard area When there are blooms or fruit you will need to watch them to see that they aren't going after the fruit or blooms [ours did] BUT we used to borrow a flock after harvest besides our own flock. there are always 'drops' to clean up and the drops...

All I have to say is that you are assuming that conditions are the same everywhere. of cource I haven't been everywhere. but I have seen differences here in North Carolina. My rule of thumb is the closer you get to cities the tougher the rules become. Here in the rural areas there are very few...

Ok now you have got me really confused Are you saying that a rocket stove does NOT exhaust to the outside? Is it supposed to but that is one of those little bugs that have to be worked out of Your stove? Smoke is bad but it is better than taking the long sleep brought on by Carbon Monoxide that...

They do make disks specifically for dogs In fact there at least two models one for distance and one for hover height. Down here where the water remains unfrozen most of the time they hold contests for dogs where they throw objects over water for dogs to chase. Both use a takeoff platform to give...

Most books will tell you to feed only what they will finish in 30 minutes [except meat birds since you want them to grow fast and fat] If you were a chicken would you search all over for food or sit by the full feeder? you are not just feeding the chickens you are feeding anything that can find...

You must have some funny safety rules on propane if you can't get it pumped without power. It is a gas at normal temperature and PRESSURE. It is stored as a liguid with a gas layer on the top in pressure vessels [yep even those cans used for lighting or toarches are pressure vessels] and when it...

One of the supermarkets here in town runs a CSA type Deal that has pretty much ruined the consept. No ideal of what you will get or when, Produce shipped in and repacked, and a high subscription cost. People that have been burned once usually won't try again.

Right on Beekissed!! If you stop and think about it the only difference between chickens and wild gamebirds is that the game birds fly better. When the city annexed my hobby farm [and outlawed chickens] I took my cue from Key West FL and took down my fences. We have a new breed of chickens...

Good to read you again. We had been writing about you and your user name because some one wanted info about ND and it's growing season. [Hubby has a job in the oil patch lined up] look up her posts if you want to help her. I don't know squat about a rocket stove but I get the impression that...

What did you use for bait? I managed to catch one in a Hava-heart that I set for Racoons. I was trying new baits because I was always catching my neighbor's Tom cat with fish oe meat baits. It got to be part of my morning get the cat out of the trap. get dressed for work. I caught on the nib end...

Lots of luck the only thing that I have found that works is a .222 and that type of shot can take a kot of time.
