    Help! Ant Dilemma!

    I just walked out into my kitchen and discovered a couple dozen TINY ants romping around all over my stove! I don't know where they came from, they showed up rather suddenly. I am Buddhist, so I don't kill any living being. So since killing them is not an option, does anyone know what I can do...

    Raccoons in my trash!

    I tried my best to find a good category for this. I'm going to buy a shed, but not for another week or two at least. I recently moved into a house in the woods with no outbuildings/sheds/garage whatsoever. My vehicle is a Jeep Wrangler and already has things stored in it. I have a raccoon that...

    Any Good Ideas for Plastic Grocery Bags?

    Let me preface this by saying that I do have and use my own cloth reusable grocery bags. But my ex did not and so when I moved of his house I used a ton of them as packing material. I thought it was pretty clever at the time, but now I have all his stupid bags! :he I haven't wanted to throw...

    How I Use Rotten Bananas

    So, okay, we all know to make banana bread with bruised bananas, but I recently thought of another way to use them. Recently I was in my local small grocery store and I noticed a box of REALLY bruised bananas. Bruised isn't even the word, they were all pretty much black. I suppose some might be...

    Home Made Dish Liquid?

    Am I missing it, or is there not a 'search' feature in this board? Could someone direct me to a thread on how to make your own dish liquid if there is one already? If there isn't, does anyone do this and how? Thanks! PS: Not for a dishwasher, just for regular sink washing that is.

    An Easier Way To Empty Eggs?

I was searching craft websites for the answer to this question, but when I had no luck I thought that a lot of you have chickens and geese, maybe you can help. You know when you want to do Easter Eggs and you take a raw egg and...

    Making Your Own Cat Food?

    I was on another thread asking for advice on reducing my trash, and someone suggested making my own cat food to eliminate all the cat food cans. I looked for a thread on this, but didn't see one. Does anyone make their own cat food, and if so what do you use? How do you prepare it? I would love...

    How Can I Propagate Lilac Branches?

    A house down the road from me has been vacant and for sale for a very long time. One night, as I walked down to check the mail at the end of the road, I decided there would be no harm in picking a few Lilacs that are at the edge of the road near the house. I remembered my ex said that he was...

    What To Do With My Trash?!

    First of all, I hope I chose the proper section for this inquiry. I recently moved WAY out in the woods/country. The local dump is about 5 miles away. In my former town of residence, I was used to recycling, and "totally on board", separating my cans, paper, and glass, etc. But my new town has...

    Introduction & Uses for Old Tires??

    Hi! I'm thrilled to have found this board!:woot I saw the banner on backyardchickens' message board and the layout seems the same. Is it related? So I just put 4 new tires on my Jeep. They were going to charge me a $25 disposal fee, and not only was I broke, but I had a feeling I could come up...
