    How are you helping your children?

    I am not worried about it. They have been taught to eat healthy from a young age. We eat most food from scratch. I can't think of any vegetables they won't eat except what they are allergic to. (peppers and cucumbers) I have taught them to eat vegetables first, then protein and last of all...

    Yogurt Culture

    I have had great results with Stoneyfield organic plain yogurt. The yogurt turns out nice and thick using whole milk and I have used the culture over and over every couple weeks. I use 4 cups of milk to 1 container of yogurt.

    What chicken breed am I looking for?

    I've tried many different breeds and Red Stars are the best layers of brown eggs. White egg layers tend to be flighty. Most chickens are good foragers if you let them forage from a young age. Barred rocks are very good layers and would do well for meat. Check the weight from the hatcheries...

    apples & taters not turning brown?

    It would be interesting to know if the potato was gmo. Now as far as the apples, I have noticed some apples do brown more quickly than others so I am not surprised about that.

    cast iron question - rough surface

    Same thing here. I only buy good used cast iron. I have mostly Wagner and one no name that is the best of all. They work better than non-stick. Just keep them seasoned and don't use soap. I soak mine with a little water in them and then scrub them easily. Then I put a thin coating of oil...

    chicken tractor.....Clampett style LOL

    I think it is a Silverlaced Wyandotte. What kind of comb does it have? Very inventive! I once put some lattice like that on top of my pen. Just layed it there. This year my dh "fixed" my pen with a nice roof! I do the same thing when I have young ones. Usually I use a large wire dog crate...

    Clear Jel vs. Cornstarch for canning??

    For pie filling I use tapioca and it holds up well. I am not sure cornstarch would hold up as well though but I have thought about it in the past. You could experiment and let us know how it turns out.

    Ugh... Broke and struggling... Ideas anyone?

    Babysitting is what came to my head also. I used to babysit other children so I could stay home with my oldest dd. I also did painting and landscape work on the weekends when I could get someone to watch my child to increase my income. You could also do odd jobs. If friends or their parents...

    Need Well Water Experts

    I didn't see a whole lot of rust. Maybe a little in one of the toilets. My dh spoke with his buddy that lives in the area and he said to flush it out and use a whole house filter. So maybe it won't be a big problem. I noticed they had a water softener in the basement. We have never used one...
