Beesource isn't that argumentative, like any other place, as long as topics aren't political. Not a good place to talk about gmo's vs organics though.. Stuff like that creates real firestorms. They do really push you to make contact with local people and have someone with some experience look...

I'm guessing alkaline, I have alkaline (aka basic) soil, so I'm putting my ashes on the gravel drive where I do NOT want anything to grow, but grass keeps infiltrating. And with our cold front, I generated quite a bit.

Actually once mine is filed away I can FIND everything. I've had an avalanche going on since about February. Posted through August 31st, not reconciled, and dealing with insurance and trucking companies is producing no money now, but MIGHT get my truck paid for eventually. Within a couple of...

I started having a plan in about 2007. I kept my 1975 chevy, because it has a carburetor (sp not in my dictionary - but in other words it is NOT fuel injected), and I think it could be re-tooled to run on methane. I planned on chickens. I replaced the central a/c compressor unit in 2005 - found...

Sounds like someone's doing some organizing. But do they do desks? I've sure got a candidate in front of me! :)

09.1 cents per kwh for a 100% wind plan. But my real cost including delivery charge and taxes is 0.1038 per kwh. (I didn't include the late charge which is purely avoidable, and my fault. Income is bumpy in the winter.) Texas ended the electrical monopolies, although we are all at the mercy...

I put deep straw in the back corner of the coop in case she wants it, when I topped off the nest boxes, but so far she is still roosting. (I am obviously a new-ish chickenkeeper, this is my first molt.

Well, I bought hamburger instead of culling my chicken. She'd best grow some feathers though. While I've had months of soft shell eggs, I suspect the first molting hen started around mid-summer and it's a rotation of who is in molt. At least 2 still are though. Oh well, such is life. It's cold...

Beekissed - thank you for the pictures! If my freezer had more meat in it than one lonely hamburger, if my insurance company were paying me for my wrecked truck (the trucking company says their driver did not report an accident, therefore they must conduct their own investigation) if I didn't...

Mine are production reds. I'm hearing they were genetically bred to lay heavily, egg a day, for the first year, but they drop off to one egg a week afterward. And what do you do to keep them from freezing in the winter if they have no feathers? Sweater?

Will do. I discovered my kitchen needed cleaned first, While it would be much easier to CATCH a sleeping chicken, I'm not sure if I'm up to this. So I'm off to byc. Research. May look for a youtube video too. My uncle in michigan told me to just grab the bird by the head and swing/ twist. But...

I'm guessing not puncturing organs is quite important?

Thank you. I have to do this sneaky, probably tonight, while there are NO grandchildren here.

I can't find the search box on here. I have non-laying production reds. One is so heavily molting I could probably pluck her in 2 minutes completely clean. It is winter. I have a couple of choices, I can make her a sweater, Or I can make chicken soup, and freeze the rest. I do not have a killing...

Fort Worth, Texas here. Our 4 seasons are a bit strange this year. Long hot, probably gonna be a long cold, not much spring or fall.

Fluffed Franks. Package of hot dogs. Instant mashed potatoes (not sure how many - couple of cups?) Mustard Cheese if you want it. preheat oven. 350 or thereabouts. Make mashed potatoes Split hot dogs most of the way lengthwise put a line of mustard down center Fill with mashed potatoes Put a...

I've been doing astrology since high school. Did it professionally for 5 or 6 years, til I moved. I saw this series of transits coming back in 2000, and just kinda cleared the decks and got myself a place that would let me work through them with fewer people-impacts. I have a lot of planets...

Check my journal page. I'm considering last week extremely fortunate. At the moment of my accident Mercury was exactly inconjunct my Sun, in addition to the heavy transits I posted on my journal. I'm beginning to think I'm going to live (it's been doubtful over the last 4 years...)

Uranus is going to station square my Venus, Pluto stationed on my Saturn, and Neptune is conjunct my Chiron, when it moves forward, it will oppose my Pluto. At the end of this series of transits I will have a new normal. I'm just grateful that it seems I will live through them. My trucks, not so...
