Make a tea and use it as a hair/scalp rinse. Good for itchy scalp.

Too early for fresh tomatoes but those along with cottage cheese and pepper MMmmmm. Also good blended into sauces, smoothies,salad dressing. It will freeze. Thaws a little mushier and may separate some but still good for use in recipes. I know you said you didn't aw t it to go to the critters...

Card board boxes are good for the bottom layer that aren't going to get move a lot. Otherwise any plastic or wire baskets are good. Watch the wire baskets - if the wires are spaced enough so that your packages fall through then they really are no good. I also use large bags like 25# onion or...

Are you sure that wasn't 4 INCHES? I have never grown limas as we prefer the much smaller bean of the butter pea but I've never spaced beans of any sort more than 4 inches along the row with maybe 1-3 feet between rows. Basically I put rows as close together as I can. If the variety is for a...

Ice cube trays are good for freezing stuffs too. I especially them for those things that I only want a small amount at a time of. Great for onions,a little bit of tomatoor hot pepper paste, herbs, etc and when I get a bumper crop of lemons and limes like I did this year. The trick behind...

I've been using tattler lids for couple of years now. Failure rate is about the same as with the disposable tin lids both right after processing and later after storage- one or two every now and then. I don't can much meat except for stock but do a ton of everything else. I have noticed that...

I am always confused as to whether it is stock or broth I cannot ever seem to get it right. I know one is just juice and the other has more meat /vegis left in it. Don't try and educate me it just one of those things that will not stick in my brain. Anyways just juice with maybe a little meat...

Just finishing up a batch- about 7 gallons worth. I have had the bones since Thanksgiving but have been waiting for it to get cold enough to use the woodstove for a long period. Finally gave up and took the opportunity to use the last cold snap and opened the back door to let out some of the...

Somewhere here there is a post about ear wax for cold sores. Gross yea, but I swear since I read that post I haven't had a cold sore fully develope yet. And I have even noticed that the itchy oily feeling in my ears seems to start just prior to a cold sore coming on. Nature knows I guess.

Sorry I cannot help you to find cheaper discs but if you do please let me know. I got that same one for Christmas and looked to see what the optional disks were. Glad men came with a shredder and slicer cause you are right the price is not cheap. I would like to have a few of the other discs...

Hi all, I haven't posted in a while and have only occasionally been on but things have been really busy. My son has recently been diagnosed with an allergy to wheat. We don't think there is a problem with gluten just wheat but we should know the answer to that for sure when the blood test...

No mama's gonna raise these.at least I hope. I figure she knows better than me what to do and I am hoping it will make transition to the big coop easier when that time comes. In fact I am considering trying to see if she will also adopt the 4 layers that came today. She's just a little handful...

I am so excited. :weee :celebrate :weee :ya :clap USPS called early this morning to let me know they had a box of chicks for me. 36 meaties and 4 new layers. Got them all settled and chirping happily in a corner of the kitchen. Then I just went out to check for eggs and little FeatherFoot hen...

Moolie is definately the boss when it comes to Canadian jars (still trying to come up with a cheap way to get jars and lids from you Moolie but we are almost on opposite sides of the continent) and she has a good handle on American made also. I wish I could provide you with some links to some...

I love black walnuts. Last year I was given several boxes. I did a lot of searching to find the best way to process them. First I say what I found out not to do. 1) don't leave the hull on. Tannins from the hulls will make the nut bitter. ( I did find this to be somewhat true as those that the...

I agree with Framing Fowl. The homeopathic chiropractor my family goes to uses this method. It may seem like a quack but there is something to it. The proper method will not have you holding your arms up until they drop from exertion. Try this have someone hold one arm out. Place the back side...

My DD is slightly OCD when it comes to germs and cleanliness. She has learned the hard way that there is such a thing as too clean. By this I mean she's washed her hands so often that they were raw and cracked. And her face has in the past been covered in an acne like rash. It wasn't that she...

Just stumbled onto this link and thought it went well with this thread. Hope some of you find it useful or interesting at least. http://www.longrangeweather.com/

Mine is a super 5000. And my DH says he thinks it is more like 15 years old. And yes it really does get used a lot.

You got a great deal. I've had mine for over 10 years and it is still going strong. Try making frozen drinks/ ice cream. Just drop in frozen fruit pieces and add juice or milk. About the grains- it will do it but only do small amounts at a time as it will really heat up the resulting flour. I...
