My mother still says warsh... and she hasn't lived in Tennessee for 45 years!

That's why I'm only trying it with 2 bales (albeit expensive ones!). I've seen some failures with this, but also some great successes. I read that you're supposed to soak the bales thoroughly and let them "bake" for about a week, pull anything that sprouts, then plant once the bales cool down...

Now $3.50 a bale sounds more like it! I guess these fancy million dollar race horses have to sleep on the best! And leave it to the guy at the feed store to stick it to my hubs!

Lemon juice is great to get rid of odor. Spray it heavily and leave the doors open.

Well, I'm not at the cabin. :( Work got in the way, plus the rain every afternoon has been downpours, so I guess it's best to wait until this weather pattern is done before planting seeds and getting seedlings into the ground. Hopefully I'll be able to get the garden in towards the end of the...

:lau Well, maybe you can fill it out with lots and lots of illustrations... so they buyer feels like they're getting their money's worth!

Mine is the second edition. I bought it at Books-a-Million so I'm assuming it's the latest one.

Boogity, beef bones won't get soft. Chicken - the smaller bones will get soft and are okay to feed dogs. The bigger bones, not.

Yes! Really, this is the most in-depth book I have come across. I love my local ag extension and the master gardeners!

The Southern Living Garden Book I have been looking for a comprehensive gardening book for a couple of years now, especially one that had info specifically for the south. This book was recommended by a Master Gardener and wow, it's just what I have been looking for. It covers EVERYTHING...

Yummy! :drool Great job... very pretty!

I also poke, prod, and smell the produce... and I'm usually the only one doing it! I can't believe the number of people at the farmer's market who just grab 'n go. And meat, well, I'll look at every single package that contains the weight I'm looking for to find the "perfect" package. For...

Thanks for the "salsa verde" instructions! I have a pound of tomatillos that have been waiting around for me to get inspired. So dinner tomorrow is taken care of. :D

Wow, I just bought the book today! Can't wait to sit down and read through it.

Again, everything in moderation. A batch of salami every now and then made with the Tenderquick is not gonna kill me.... Of course, for all your purists, I understand your argument as it applies to how you eat. But there are a few (and I bet many) of us here that don't have a problem with the...

Everything in moderation. I try to stay away from processed foods as much as possible, but meat cured with nitrates/nitrites doesn't bother me, especially since sodium nitrate occurs naturally in a lot of foods.

Holey Moley, that is too weird!

Our Goodwill prices are sky high on most things. We have a "super" Goodwill :idunno so I guess someone has to pay for the humongous new building. I love our Humane Society thrift store. :love Got a brand new, never used, tags still on, food mill for just a couple of bucks.

I need me a new grandbaby! :lau

Pine needles are excellent mulch. I've never had a problem with the acidity levels - they are very slow to break down. I don't use them in the veggie garden for that reason, but they are excellent for everything else. If you want to compost them, it's best to chop them up first.
