I suggest grower's supply places, too. They have the kind of poly sheeting that can handle the UV rays from the sun. The home improvement stores sell construction type of sheeting and it gets brittle in the sun and shreds in the wind after only a month or two. Of course the ag type poly is...

Yeah I've heard three months, too. But we need to allow some common sense here as well. Check the feed often and be aware of moisture in the bottom of the container. I have successfully stored some grains for 12 months simply inside steel drums with tight fitting lids.

Something that you may want to try . . . buy some M-80 or Cherry Bomb fire crackers (these are much more than little firecrackers) and use a slingshot to launch them up to the hawks. I have done this successfully whenever I see a hawks nest in the spring in our woods.

Don't you own a gun?

Hmmmm. A few years ago I met a lady at a mountain man/muzzle loader's get together who had a booth of lots of different skins for sale. She tried to explain that method of skinning small animals to a group of us. She said that she skins anywhere from 100 to 500 small animals a year and the...

This statement concerns me a little. You say you purchased one that was mixed already. One what? And what was mixed already? Two cycle engines are ruined every day by improper fuel mixes. Can you explain a little bit more? Usually the fuel mix requirement is clearly printed on the chain...

Here's something that I have started to use in the chicken coop and the rabbit hutches. I use three in the bottom of each 5 gal. bucket. PUSH-IN WATERING NIPPLES I have never had one to leak and they're very easy to install or replace. In the winter I just drop a heater in each bucket and I...

Welcome to the forums. Please do yourself a big favor and stay away from Homelite products. Inferior quality. I'll go along with the Stihl crowd. I have a 16 year old Stihl chainsaw and it starts on first or second pull every time. I have an older Stihl weed whacker and it is the same.

Something that I have tried with some success . . . a piece of 1 1/4" PVC about 18" long. De-Con rat poison. Put only a few poison pellets in the pipe, push the pellets to mid-way inside the pipe, lay the pipe down near the vole, mole, chipmunk, or mouse path, make two gigantic U-shaped heavy...

Hmmmm. Thanks.

Holy cow! Is your name Jack, and did you trade the family milk cow for some seeds in your way to market? Watch out for the giant when you climb those vines.

I have had some luck with snakes and cats. Both love to catch voles. One for food and the other for fun. I don't know of any poison that would be safe in a garden and those traps and noise makers are useless on voles. Something I have tried with limited success is to sit quietly at sundown...

The SCOBY that ate Chicago. I remember a movie like that a million years ago. Well, not exactly like that ;) I have cut my SCOBY many times to give to other folks. There must be 10 or 12 young'uns out there.

I always thought that you could separate the new, thin, Scoby from the old one but mine is always one big thick mass. My Scoby is about 3/4" thick after about two years of brewing and re-brewing. I drink 4 oz. every morning with breakfast.

sbrook_325 - Welcome to the funny farm, you're gonna like it here. I hope you get your 10 post soon. We're alll interested in hydroponic gardening but not many of us know what it's all about. How long have you been doing it?

Man! You're not kidding there! It has been 104F for four days in a row here. Walking in the yard is like walking in Rice Crispies.

Just how much oxygen does .08 ounces of 35% hydrogen peroxide contain? It can't be much.

Bees will usually only go to red clover if there is nothing else around in bloom. They always prefer "sweet" clovers both yellow (Melitotus officinalis) and white (Melitotus alba) but the sweet clovers grow very tall compared to the low growing white clover (Trifolium repens) in our lawns. All...

That was exactly my same thoughts, too. I even chuckled out loud.

I wwonder if products sweetened with honey qualify as sugar-free?
