Oh my! Ya'll wear overalls too? I live in mine! I got a really neat pair at the local Goodwill that zip up the front.....so convienient! That is where I get mine, Goodwill. That way I am only out about $5 if they wear out. Sherry

I have so many things I want to accomplish this spring! 1) build new chicken coop 2) move asparagus to new garden 3) plant the 7 new blueberry bushes and raspberry bushes a friend is going to give me 4)build new garage for the tractor and other implements These are just the immediate things...

I have made it before but am not an expert by any stretch! If you can find the Junket rennet it has some directions in the box. The first time I made cheese it turned into cream cheese but it made the best cheesecake I have ever eaten. The second time went better but I wasn't real happy with it...

Great info! So did you find out where to get the Fels Naptha? Seems I have seen it somewhere but can't remember where. Living here in the bug capital of the nation, I need all the help I can get when it comes to bugs! Sherry in Ga

Boy! I see a couple of recipes I need to try out! I did try the MEN recipe, even went out and bought the baking stone and pizza peel to use with it. I guess you really need to like sourdough bread to eat that on a regular basis. I have come up with my own recipe for our bread and it is pretty...

We have been without medical insurance since the mid 90's. So far we have been ok but you never know what is around the corner. We have enough free money to be able to afford going to the doctor if necessary but not for any expensive tests or surgeries. It all seems like such a scam anymore! I...

Karen, I have heard those commercials too and wonder what the gimmick is. Our balance on our mortgage is around $59,000 and if I were to apply myself I could see getting it paid off in maybe 5 years but 21/2? I would have to throw everything into it to do it that quick! Now I did hear Clark...

I have a goal of paying off the two credit cards I have. One is within reach, the other has about a $4000 balance. I have been trying to make a mental list of what else needs to be done around here with the two top things being a barn of some sort and a new chicken coop. The barn is going to...

Farmerchick, you will reduce your credit score if you close those accounts. It is much better to just freeze them or not use them than to close them. We incurred some debt last year for a tractor for the farm. While I hate owing for it, it has been a lifesaver! I didn't put much out at...

I start my plants under a small table in my kitchen that has a fluorescent bulb fixture hanging underneath it. I probably need to modify it a bit this time around but it worked very well! I planted about 70 tomato plants that I raised under there last spring and they seemed to take forever to...

I have to agree, Joel Salatin is an expert in his field! I wish I had the cooperation here to follow his methods on a much smaller scale. I only have 4 acres and only 2 are being used. Hubby will build things that i need to have built but I bet if I got rid of the goats and chickens tomorrow he...

I use Cydectin to worm my dairy doe. It is some nasty stuff but very effective. I lost my other dairy doe last spring from not giving enough cydectin and also using the Ivomec which was ineffective. This was just after kidding so I guess the parasite load was very heavy. I have tried the Molly's...

Thank you for all the warm welcomes! You seem like a great group of people:) I was busy for a couple of hours last night just reading the differnt forums on this site. Lots of good info! I promise to contribute where I can. Sherry in GA

Hello everyone! I stumbled across this site while researching chicken coops. I am a member of a few other self sufficient lifestyle boards so I thought I would add another to a list of my favorite places! I live in west central Ga and keep chickens for eggs and meat and dairy goats for milk. I...
