You guys rock! I DO NOT know how to make my own soaps and cleaners etc YET. We have used cloth napkins for years and thats about it. Im learning but it takes awhile. Ill find the soap thread soon...

what is SCA? And..everyone already thinks Im weird. Thanks ok with me though cause I think all of THEM are weird! LOL! Yes I CAN store the wine or mead in the house. I was whining about food storage. I need to dig a cellar of some sort I guess. Im going to give this wine thing a try!

Hi there from one newbie to another!

I love the story...I love the goats...now I would watch the news on tv if there ever was a good story in it like that.

NO. Right now it is about 50 outside and pretty much March -October are over 80 if not 100. Inside stays 70-80 but I have very limited space.:(

I WISH I HAD A CELLAR! I will have an abundance of produce coming this summer and then on a regular basis and I fear that even if I process it all-canning etc...it will be ruined with the heat. Im wondering if in my climate I can DIG a small"root cellar" type of space or if it is just too hot...

HI..new kid here...I have 4 boys in the house 2-19 and they will walk around the dishwasher too...and if I get them to put anything IN it...they seem to think there is a disposal feature so nothing is rinsed. I started to read your blog from page one a while ago...and realized there are a...

I love this forum! Every question I have had in my little pea brain is magically already a thread for me to review. I am going to give this a whirl. I have one question (forgive me I have not read EVERY post but please can you tell me how this is stored while fermenting? Do I have to keep it...

We moved to teh country just this last July. I am so thrilled it isnt funny. I BOUGHT old laundry line poles off craigslist and put them in. Everyone I know in the valley thinks Im a weirdo. I love to hang the wash, it doesnt really take much more time and I can fold them as they come off...

They are magical tomato rings as stated before. Besides..oddly enough...there are certain bugs that will NOT climb over that tire to eat your plant! It keeps water right where you want it and it does keep those roots at the right temp. I have several tires all sizes (including a tractor tire)...

Yes I was in on that conversation and was worried about the copy right business from the maker of the feed if the bags were sold. (I have had this problem with copyright fabric) and I couldnt believe it last night I opened the new edition of Backyard Poultry and there was a couple page article...

WOW a lot of southlanders! Im in the foothills just north of Clovis in the central valley. Ive been on this 5 acre place since July 2010 and I can tell I will never be "done" with the projects.

Someone mentioned a grow light. Any idea on the cost of running one of those? I was considering tryin tomatoes. I have some very bright south facing windows (well when the sun is out anyway.) Not really cold here. Its 65 today. Sometimes as low as 45 in the daytime.

That is totally outstanding! I was wondering if you did that with a machine and what type of needle then I saw you needed a THIMBLE! Holy smokes that is nice work by hand!

http://www.chasinggreen.org/article/how-re-use-your-2-liter-bottles/ Ive done the water sprinkler thing myself. The kids love it!

Such a nice coop!

WOW CARPET!? interesting....that would have been a super score to find enough to do my project!

Yes I was planning to put down the barrier but all the folks who live up here said it is such a terrible mess once it deteriorates...it works it way up through the rocks and is half sticking out and gets mashed into the dirt and the whole operation is a trash pile look. So I didnt use it. THEY...

Yes we spent about 2k on all that rock and tractor work. We have had about 40% more rain than normal here and it is so muddy the truck sank up to the axles when I was out mending a fence 2 weeks ago so keeping the integrity of this driveway is very important not just aesthetics (although I AM a...

Yes we are boarding horses and they have been bending the new fieldfence so we put barbed wire at the top. NOW we know if we get escape artis goats I better get hotwire or more barb down low or....something better than what we have.
