I'm registering LLC in the next week or so. I've saved up money on egg and plant sales to do it. :)

I'm not sure that I'd need different licensing or inspection if I'm just teaching a class in canning. I'm not selling the food, just teaching how to prepare it. If I were to sell canned items, then I'd need to register my business to do that and also have an inspection of my kitchen by the...

I am completely unaware of an issues against making charcoal here, however I have removed that from our For Sale section after reading about the possible cause of air pollution during fabrication. My husband has been making it to use with the barbeque and I thought it would be cool to sell it...

We moved into our place a year and a half ago and we're working our tail feathers off trying to get this place in order. We have 1 3/4 acre. We're in the woods, on a private road, across from blazed hiking trails, a short walk to a couple of fresh water ponds, 1/2 mile from the beach, 1/2 mile...

Here is a link for soil testing: http://soilhealth.cals.cornell.edu/extension/test.htm#storage I would have the soil tested for heavy metals to find the levels of arsenic. I'll be planting on the top of the hill this year where the trees were cut down. Next year, we'll be replacing the...

But not sure about the deck......I don't know for sure what it's made of. They say that if it's greenish, that's CCA, but where I live every kind of wood turns green eventually. I'm near the water and algae grows everywhere here. I wanted to plant fig trees near the deck, but don't know if...

I'm assuming it's CCA (Chromated copper arsenate). The arsenate is arsenic. Yes, I'm planning on having the soil tested and would like to replace the wall with something else eventually.

We bought our house a year and a half ago with the dreams of growing food for ourselves on our new property. A couple of weeks ago we cut trees down on top of a hill that is held up by a retaining wall and is also next to our deck. A few days ago, it occurred to me that probably, the retaining...

It's bad here on Long Island! Our house is on a hill and in the woods, so our losses so far and mainly trees. One tree was threatening to land on our newly build rabbit hutch so we had to move it. We're prepared for the worst, but thankfully so far we still have power. 10 miles away they've...

We bought our house last year and the previous owners left one of those really big TV antennas in the garage(the kind that goes on top of the house). Is there anyway to re-purpose it?

I have wire fencing around the chicken run and duck pen. I also have a rabbit in a hutch. I don't like that the raccoon can pester my rabbit even though it can't get in. I'm thinking of wire lines around the chicken run and duck pen and maybe put up a fence with more wire line to go around...

I need to put up electric fencing around the animals in my yard. The housing is very secure, but I don't like the raccoons coming around and trying to get in like they have been. I stresses me out and I'm losing sleep chasing them away in the middle of the night. I have cats and don't want...

We live on Long Island where the ticks are plentiful and Lymes is quite common. We moved last fall into the middle of the woods and across the road from 200 acres of wood nature preserve. It's beautiful, BUT the ticks SUCK! They are on us every day. The cats have them all over their faces...

Perfect. Going there today! THanks!

Where can I order clover seed and which variety would you reccommend? I'm going to be planting a new area with berry bushes and would like to plant clover around them and in the walkways as a ground cover and also to feed my bees next year (when I get them). -Rachel

WELL, guess what? (pun intended) The plumber came, replaced that faucet, changed a valve, and........PRESSURE and CLEAN WATER!!! HA! and they told me the well was no good. :rolleyes:

It is the same guy. He said it looked fine but mentioned it could go at any time....or not.

Without coming back over to my house, the well guy said over the phone that he thinks we'd need a new well which would cost us over $4,000. First, how does he know that for sure? Isn't it possible that we just need a new pump? I think I need to get a second opinion. Thoughts?
