Oh gosh... our entire house is carpeted, so keeping them off of carpets would be a problem! LOL

Okay. Thank you! Will these granules be safe with chickens?? We have chickens that also use our backyard during the day, and the dogs use it in the morning and evening. If I buy Frontline+ from say... Petsmart... would it have the guarantee as well? Or ONLY from the vet?

So, we've had dogs for 6 years, since we bought our house, and have NEVER had an issue with fleas. A few months back we watched a friends 2 dogs for them for a couple days, and noticed that they were itching, but didn't think anything about it because we thought that they were on flea...

Well, that's promising!! :-)

@XtreemLee Ooooh!!! That sounds really good!! The only thing that is not currently growing (or will be growing) in my garden is the garlic and onion! I really wanted to put some of those in this year, but, hubby was against it... so instead we got a bed of flowers. :P How would I modify this...

You can use Splenda and it works @rhoda_bruce? I was thinking of going with that but I didn't know if it would work or not. I have some delicious sounding jelly and jam recipes but didn't want to make them if the Splenda (or any other sugar sub) wouldn't work. I know some people use sugar in...

Hey everybody! I'm looking for sugar free options for jams, jellies, and sauces (mostly spaghetti sauce). Thanks!

Since moving here 6 years ago, I seemed to have lost every stitch of Ohio blood I have. I look at temps back home and I shiver! It was 40 the other day and I got out my giant parka coat! Lol

:lol::lol: OP said they wanted cold hardy birds. I'm not worried about cold hardy here. I thought it was SUPER cold her the last couple days... It was below 50!! Lol I do enjoy my Buckeyes tho. :)

We have Buckeyes. They are wonderful birds. Very friendly, cold hardy, and fairly productive layers. They do pretty well in the heat as well. They are the only chicken breed (that I know of!) That was produced by a woman, Nettie Metcalf, in Ohio. I think you made a great choice with the...

I'm really new at bees, so, I don't quite know how to do everything yet. There is a local beekeeping group that meets once a month tho and they are very helpful. I'm hoping that everyone gets the hints I've been dropping on my facebook tho and they get me some of the books on my amazon...

My husband bought the book diy projects for the self sufficient homeowner and it has plans for a top bar hive in it. It seems like a fairly easy process. I'm going to show the plans to one of the more seasoned beekeepers here before I make it tho. We have thought about doing that, but the type...

We live not far from the ocean, meaning we cannot have a basement because it would quickly become an indoor swimming pool. This leaves us in a dilemma. We want to plant enough potatoes to last us a winter, but we don't know what we would do with them upon harvest. Anybody have any ideas on...

We have lots of things planned for the upcoming year! We want a fence around the garden, plant more fruit trees, set up for some bees (hopefully, going to try my hand at building a top bar hive!),take out all the sod in the garden and replace with straw, put in a couple new composters, put in...

Wow.... it's been a while since I updated this! This past season was pretty much a bust with the oppressive heat and giant mosquitoes, couple that with a broken mower and grass so high deer can successfully hide in it (boy that was embarrassing!) it just didn't pan out. We managed to add 10...

I very very VERY rarely ever post on BYC.... it seems like unless you are a regular there, your questions go mostly unanswered. I think cindlady and farmer Jamie are right. Don't overthink things. I live on less than a half acre and have a garden, chickens, ducks, a few fruit trees, and dogs...
