I am posting so I can find this thread again. I am GF and have been for years for health reasons.

That may be an issue most springs, but somehow I don't think that is going to be an issue this year!!!!!!! :/

Something new I'm trying this year. I dug an area (not ness you can just put them on top of the ground) and placed tires in, then planted my potato sets in the tires and back filled w/ dirt. (that is why I chose to dig the spot, so I didn't have to buy or haul dirt.) Then you just wait for...

Right now they are soooo far behind. I have taken pics along the way and will take more, but right now the pics don't really show much. I'll go through them and see if any make sense. The only thing I actually have planted right now are my potato tires, and they are almost ready for the...

This okie thread isn't as busy as the one on byc, but maybe it will grow.

We are doing two approx 50 x 50 garden spots divided into 8 individual gardens each, the center of each is the chicken coop containing 11 chickens in each. The chickens will rotate through the individual gardens throughout the year, so they will do all the weeding, tilling, insect control, and...

I'm doing the potato thing this year for the first time and my little plants are already over the first tire. I have a question about the tomato thing though, if you keep water in the rim of the tire how do you control mosquitoes?

Wow it's been a while since I popped over here. Central OK, does that mean near OKC? I live over in eastern OK, just south of Tulsa. We are making progress on our garden and chickens, but we are a little behind. This is the first year to get things going, so if it's not 100% this year we...

I found Gal 1: 6-12 very interesting. They were so close to the time of Jesus, many may have known or seen or been people in the crowds that were taught by Christ himself. Certainly knew his hand picked apostles, yet they needed reminders and direction to not get side tracked by things of "the...

You could make a simple paste out of flour and water (or elmers glue thinned down) take those same magazines and strip them. Blow up a balloon as an mold and have them glue the strips on 1/2 the balloon in the shape of a bowl, when it dries it will be a colorful bown paper mache' bowl.

Hello I see several familiar avatars from BYC. I know this post is old just thought I'd say hi though.

The logical reason is that liver is just to overpoweringly disgusting to disguise!!!! :lol: If you hate it that much why are you wanting to find ways to eat it?

No I did not, but I will now. It was just a quick search before cooking supper. So you can ferment then sprout?

Okay, I googled fermented grains, and it was quite interesting, found out a lot I never knew, going to research this further. What I found out nutritionally, it does not change the nutrient content of the grain, but there is a substance in the grain that inhibits nutrient absorbtion by both...

It needs to stay moist, not dry out, but also tends to sour, so you rinse to prevent the sour.

Okay now that we have the sprouts down, what about fermenting grains? How/why is it better for the chickens? Do I understand this correctly: place grains in bucket, cover w/ water, put in yogourt (or some bacteria source) let sit at least 12 hrs. Then like sourdough starter each day take our...

I have an awesome way, feed it to your chickens then they turn it into tasty eggs! :lol:

What are you confused about?

Don't exactly know what you are looking for in your chickens you never said, but since you started out talking about cornish x I'm assuming you want a good meat bird? Assuming that I would say since they are hatchery birds to begin w/ they likely will all be decent layers so I would decide...

Yes, that is the way my gma sprouted for us to eat for years. Use the ring portion of the lid and use an old cleaned pair of panyhose, or cheesecloth at the lid. Rinsing is as easy as filling w/ water "swishing it around" and pouring through the cloth. If you are going to sprout 6 quarts a...
