hqueen, the weather sure has been weird hasn't it? I live a bit inland from the beach in Delaware but the fog in the morning most of last week has been crazy...the weekend before we were at the beach fishing and the fog never lifted the whole day!
And then yesterday, I was working in the garden...
I so need to find time to work on some new skirts and "bloomers" or whatever. I have some fabric but just not the time with working full time, going to school nearly full time and running the homestead by myself. But...this thread has inspired me a again...lets see if I can at least get my...
This isn't really an answer of what you can use them for after but:
the Recycline company in MA takes #5 plastic (mostly Stonyfield Farms yogurt cups) and makes their products with it. They started with razors and toothbrushes, now they have kitchenware too. When you are done with the razor or...
Interesting topic. I have worn long skirts nearly all the time for the past 25 years or more (I am forty now). I never really liked jeans, still don't, although I do have a couple pair now for work...mucking around in the wetlands and such. I wear simple cotton pants for hiking and nothing...
That sure is a ton of jars! And I am jealous like everyone else, except the cleaning part! LOL
Right now I am eating through my applesauce and filling them with oranges and grapefruit that are in season as fast as they are emptied!
Happy Imbolc to those who celebrate. It was nice to have the holiday so close to the full moon and it was a gorgeous one here last night.
I was wondering, are there others on the list that thank the land spirits? leave them offerings? In my tradition we call the land spirits landvaettir or...
I did get a few things planted in between exams and canning in the Fall! It was kind of late and didn't expect much. I managed to harvest a little bit of brocolli a few weeks ago. My kale is still going though with this below freezing weather it may have died...am not home in the light so...
Thanks for bringing this up! I have been hoping to try this...I missed getting clover planted for the winter as a cover crop...got bogged down in finals and end of harvest! I think I might try the planting in the rows for the Spring...see how that works....
I am starting my seeds for herbs this week. I have a hen and chicks pot (I think that is what it is) and I am setting up my aquaponics system.
So, no answer or advice for you but I'll be doing it with you!
I have always heard to not put any type of feces from cats, dogs, etc in the compost bin...only from herbivores like my rabbits. Rabbit poo is gold for the garden!
I do have two outdoor only cats (came with the house) that obviously do their business whereever they want but I have never had an...
Marianne, the picture is of Ash, he is my American Chinchilla Rabbit...he wasn't full grown in that pic either. I have American Chins and Silver Fox...pairs of each, neither of which are breeding for me right now.:he
Hey all,
Thanks for the info...I am going to try a few things and I'll let you know how it goes. Unfortunately, I did try the sand thing and that was just too bloody heavy!!!!
I might try sand mixed with something so it isn't as heavy. Hey Katie, thanks, I'll be checking that link out! I...
Glad Yule to you all.
I have not posted on here yet...but this seemed a good time to do so.
I am heathen (Asatru) and follow the Norse gods but I am also HPS to a coven that is part of a large (10 covens) eclectic but very serious, ceremonial based paganTradition.
I hope everyone enjoys...
Hello all,
I know that somewhere there is some information on this but darned if I can find it now.
I am looking to figure out cheaper cat litter. Right now I use arm and hammer - the biodegradable cedar type, I used to use Cedarific before it got so expensive. I want a litter that is...
Hello all,
I am starting a new journal because it has been since October I think since I have been on here...don't have a clue where the other one disappeared to!
I have been crazy busy between a couple road trips to see my folks and friends and then immediately into finishing up harvest and...
