    Reusable diapers

    I love the BumGenius covers. I have four of them. What I have been doing is using the cloth diapers inside the covers. It seems to be working really well. I haven't tried making my own yet.

    Firewood Processing - Dialup Warning

    My husband showed this to me last week. It was in one of his mags. It is pretty cool. He made a wood splitter for his skidloader but it doesn't cut them up so little and it doesn't cut up large logs. Since I am 7 months pregnant, the smaller peices would be nice. We have an outdoor wood stove. I...

    honey bees, how to start

    I would leave the queen in the box, if it was me. THe reason I would is because if she dies before she is out of the box, you can prove it. One of my hives killed their queen so I had to get another one. She was still in the box. Sometimes the bees won't like the queen.

    honey bees, how to start

    Congrulations on getting bees. I just got mine last Monday. I am going to feed mine for two weeks. I have a feeder that goes into the enterence of their hive. I use a quart jar with the feeder lid. It is good to spray your frames with sugar water before you put your bees into the hive. The queen...

    okay goat people, what do we get?

    I love my Nubians. They are great milking goats. I get a gallon a day from one of them and the other is nursing two kids that aren't a week old yet and I get over a half gallon from her. I use to raise Nubian/Boer crosses years ago. They would of been great meat goats. I would say go with...

    Yet another goat question....milk and udders

    First, I would like to add my thoughts. If you want to milk this doe after she has weaned her kids, I will still be milking her down. You want to keep her milking production up. The reason is that as she weans the kid. She will try to get him to drink less often, which means she will produce...

    Yet another goat question....milk and udders

    Sounds like you have things under control. I do use coffee filters. They work just fine for me. A quart jar will work just fine. They say you should use stainless steel or glass with milk, because they can be cleaned correctly. Let me know if you have any more questions. I am still learning...

I milk around 7:30 in the morning and at 6 at night. She does pretty good with this. I did let her raise the kid and milked her at the...
