    essential oil sources?

    Sorry no one has responded yet....I order from Eden's Garden (edensgarden.com/). They are 100% pure therapeutic grade and very reasonable. Work just fine!

    I'm new, lost and don't know where to begin

    Oh, I am sooo envious of you! BeeKissed has the right idea for checking priorities, but, if your uncle was living in it up to three years ago, it might be all right. It's great you're going to go check it out. Some things to look for in all the outbuildings are the tools. Chances are, if...

    Grinding your own flour

    As has been stated, this is true whole wheat flour. I don't think you can sift out the bran and germ at home (why would you want to :idunno). It requires special equipment. It's hogwash! I always use my flour as fresh as possible, often grinding just before baking. Why? A kernal of grain...

    Fire Cider Tonic

    We have discovered a good way to take this:) Make a "tea" by putting 1 Tbsp. of tonic, 1 Tbsp. of honey, and 1/2 tsp. of cinnamon in a cup. Fill with HOT water. Stir well, and drink. It really tastes very good. An added benefit, besides the immune boost, is that it seems to be giving me...

    Earache

    I'm going to have to remember this one! Sounds like it would feel good. I use garlic oil, too, but I make mine a different way. I take a bulb of garlic, peel the cloves and cut them in half. Place them in a small jar and cover with extra virgin olive oil, organic if you can. Put the lid on...

    Honey for abcess on cat - thoughts?

    I realize I'm too late to help with this time....but for future occurances and/or to help others with the same type of problem, try using lavender essential oil. Clean the wound thoroughly, as you did, then put one or two drops of oil on the wound. Hold the cat or other animal for 15-30...

    Help With Global Solar Sun Oven

    I have not done much solar cooking, either. But I did take a class on it a year or so ago (very interesting!), and they mentioned there that bread is very difficult to do in a solar oven. It must be in a dark--read black--pan with another one on top as a lid. This helps to concentrate the...

    fuzzy tea bags have dropped/causing fighting

    What the others said. Think about it...Easter was about 4 months ago. Rabbits are ready to breed at about 4 months, soooo, all those hormones are kicking in and they start fighting. You did the right thing by separating them. You said you wanted to breed them, so, go for it. They're ready...

    Eczema help

    Try using garlic oil on it. Make your own by soaking garlic cloves in a good virgin olive oil, organic if you can. Peel the cloves, cut in half (this exposes more surface to the oil) cover with the oil. Let stand at room temp. for at least 24 hours. Wash the area and your hands, dip your...

    Whole wheat or rye bread recipes please?

    The trick with any whole wheat bread is to only let it rise once. As soon as you're done kneading it, form it into loaves, put it in your pan, let it rise until just over the top of the pan, then bake. Don't worry, it will still have a great texture, no big holes or anything. Actually, it will...

    Goat question....calm my nerves!!

    Hi! I haven't been on the forum for a few days, so missed your post til now. How is it going? Do you feel better about your doe? It is normal for her udder to be very large at this point. If it worries you too much, go ahead and milk her some to relieve the pressure. A couple of cups from...

    Need HELP, goat tore her udder

    I'm not sure more frequent milking is the way to go. Extra milking will cause her to make MORE milk. Depending on where she is in her lactation cycle, it could be a lot more, which would make the problem worse. I would just milk on the regular schedule. She'll probably be fine. Good to know...

    The Working Chicken!!

    You'll need to put sides at least part of the way up on that tunnel, or your mounded beds will be scattered all over the paths! Trust me on this!!! I have raised beds with sides, and those girls will empty them! Sounds like a good idea otherwise. I don't really think that one breed is better...

    home canned chicken noodle soup

    My daughter LOVES campbell's chicken noodle soup! She would eat it three times a day if she could. Does anyone have a recipe for home canned that would taste the same?
