Just to get a visual image...:D

That is funny! I just hope this current administration has a plan in place for the future to ward off inflation as a result of creating all this new money out of thin air. :idunno

In a desperate situation, I might try pages out of a phone book if I had access.

We are all going out to eat dinner together this Friday so I am thinking about bringing up the subject. I am pretty sure that she would probably say "yes".

I meant to say "land". :gig

Ours is only an acre, but it is all flat usable land so I am happy about that. The house is small (800 square feet) so it does not take up much space. We are trying to utilize as much as possible of the land we have, although I wish that I had more room to grow some corn. My neighbor has fifty...

Hello! I am in Spartanburg County, just trying to make the most on one acre with six chickens and a garden. :frow

There are many different ways to garden. When breaking up the ground for the first time when making a new raised bed, using a rotary tiller would be a reasonable option in my opinion. After the first time, a rotary tiller would not be necessary. Depending on the soil type, it can be very...

Thanks Farmfresh for that information. That was very helpful.

I have a solar oven that I bought. I have been using it for a couple of years now. I am still learning and experimenting with my solar oven. My favorite thing to cook is beans. There are many different uses, including pasteurizing water in a survival situation. I have even used my solar oven to...

One of my goals this summer is to learn how to can. We have a garden so I want to try canning some of the stuff out of the garden this summer. I have no experience with canning so I have a lot of research to do in the meantime. I would like to buy a new pressure canner with a good instruction...

As some people have already stated, cash and metal would both probably be good. The metal (if I could afford it) would be gold. Right now, I can not afford to purchase any at the current price. I should have bought some when it was much cheaper. This in only speculation of course; but I have...

That is absurd. This guy is obviously one those "elitists". This is a good example why I NEVER want to live in a homeowners association.

Yeah, the way the economy is going lately; things might come to a that. In fact, I remember reading on BYC forum awhile back about someone that had their chickens stolen. I try to protect them from predators, and I guess "a human" could be a predator as well.

I have a German Shepherd that I don't trust very much around my chickens so I can't let them free range, unless I contain my dog; but I might have to resort to that. I would be very interested in your recipe and any other information that you have about feeding chickens without using commercial...

We have several different ways to cook without electricity: over an open fire, propane & butane burners, solar oven, dutch oven, kerosene cook stove. Also, I have been experimenting with number 10 cans by making simple hobo stoves. It is amazing how well they actually work. Maybe I will try to...

I bought two more bags of dog food for my German Shepherd, careful to look at expiration dates. For my chickens, I bought an extra bag of feed today as well. I made sure the date said "September" on it. I really did not need it, but I am going to store the feed in my deep freezer. Lately, I have...

Wow, this is an interesting thread, considering what is happening in America's financial markets today. I haven't been around in a couple of weeks so I have a lot to catch up on. ;)

I was curious to know what methods you plan to use for cooking that does not involve electricity. Let's say your power is out for more than a few days; how would you cook your food? What type of food would you cook?

Oh, I just realized this was in the recycling section. My comment has absolutely nothing to do with recycling. :gig
