I have a strong preference to Tar shampoo and soap. In my past life when I traveled for work, I would stock up in Finland for cheap. When I ran out of that I found Grandpa's brand Tar Shampoo and soap. I like them but the are very very pricey and only can get it on the net. So I want to...

paul wheaton, :clap Spectacular!! I consider myself a "well seasoned" user of cast iron. I agree 100% with your article. As you stated the spatula is critical. My personal favorites are Pampered Chief, the have a small and a medium very stiff metal spatula. The small one is just perfect for...

Pasties :bow

Don't fry it..;) It splaterers all over the kitchen...as those little eggs pop. Not so good...:ep Next time for me, I would be interested in trying to learn how the Japanese cure it. Because I do like roe on or in my sushi. Or use it for fishing, place the roe in tiny little net bags then...

Hey all, I am glad to see the Public Library is used and valued by many here. my family LOVE ours and uses it weekly. In the semi progressive state of Wisconsin we are fortunate to have a great Public library system. Me, I get quite a bit of my info of the net, but not all, I buy reference...

Hi, I would suggest a minimum of 15 trees.. More trees is not necessarily more work or more time..... You will need to boil the sap on a regular basis regardless, and if you have too few trees, you will end up with so little syrup, you may ask yourself if it is worth it. Remember roughly 40...

Thanks for mentioning it over on BYC.. Seems like a great place to hang out and share knowledge. I have also noticed that there are many like minded folks here at SS :D) ON

Good points farmfresh.. I agree.. Yes Rabbit manure is very special stuff.. Do you recall if goat manure is also safe to use fresh? (Some where I have a link that covers all the different manuers..) Also your point about using fresh cow or horse manure and the weed seed potential is a good...

I over did it with the ashes in one gardern. Only kale would grow, real short and dark dark green. Did not get to eat it because the deer ate it first. Other than a little going into the chickens indoor dust bath, and some for icey spots. I am currently sifting my ashes throug a 1/8"...

Thank you! Another thing I can not eat.....:barnie ON

Both! On compost: I aerate my compost piles (Turn often and monitor internal temp. Another words I use a hot compost method. Pile is done cooking in a few weeks and ready to use 1.5 months. I put the bird manure as layers and plugs around the plants. Let the plants roots grow to the strong...

Thank you! Thats how you do it! My hot fudge sauce is often grainy. on

Hi, Did you can it while it was hot. If not do that, then no need to keep in the fridg. until you open a jar. Super simple, get a case of canning jars boil in hot water, pull out pour hot syrup in and screw on the lid. As the cool you will hear "pop" as the jar seals.. It is good to go then...

:hide Cool, I know the Turtle fairly well. We built a timber frame addition for a customer on Millionaires point last winter.. COLD!!! We like the county park campground on the turtle by lake of the falls. Yes growing season is an issue up here. I grow lettuce under lights in the house in...

Thanks for the tip, We will have to have our local library order food inc for us. Is it OK for 4 and 6 year olds??. (They understand butchering, they see me butcher.) I still do not let them watch me kill though. (I really hate the killing part..) I get grossed out by butcher shops and by...

Yup, one can tap anything in the maple family. (Boxelder included) Just have to boil off more water as the sugar content is lower than in Sugar Maple.. As stated birch family can be tapped too. I have not tried it but I hear Yellow birch syrup is very good. Wifezilla, Out in Colorado do you...

We are in the Minocqua area. Did you ever canoe camp in the Sylvania Wilderness on the WI -UP boarder?? Spectacular! I lived in Fondy in 85 through 87 (Went to MPTI) ON

Cool lyrics. I saw Tull in concert in the early 80's.. (Ah the early 80's oh what fun...) ME... I must say that 99.5% of the time I listen to the "symphony of silence". ;) Yes, I actually drive long distances with the radio off.... The other .5 percent of the time I am pretty eclectic...

I never thought about it... Hmmm, I do have a friend who does it. He builds birch bark canoes the traditional native way. He has held classes in the past, recently he has been taking just one apprentice per summer/canoe. I like the idea of this thread. Sharing skills and talents.. I...
