I think a strip from a plastic wrap or foil box would work well too.

If you are stuck with no lint, use a pocket knife and scrape it back and forth on your pants leg. This will provide enough to get a fire going!

The only "new" thing on my plate this year so far is horse radish. I finally got some rhubarb to start, I've been trying for 4 years. I've had it before in MN but never been able to get it going here in IN. I'm also copying an idea I got at a garden center, they now sell these pots for growing...

Well stocking up can not hurt. The price certainly isn't ever going DOWN...I don't even drink the crap but the wife is intolerable without it. Looks like I'll be making room in the freezer for a bag of beans...Ironically we recently decided to shift our meat stores from frozen to canned...good...

Man, $1 a pound...That's ridiculous! Figure a 4 can easily weigh over 1000 pounds...I'll bet there aren't many boulder walls in your area!

No, these are engineered blocks with a lip on the back that hangs down behind the course under them. There is also Geo-Grid every 3 courses extended 16' behind the wall where there is space, where there isn't it goes as far as space allows. There are also 3 buried courses on top of heavily...

Thanks for the heads up! I got a tip like this a couple years ago before peanut butter went ape crap...Still have about 40 pounds and have saved hundreds and hundreds of dollars on the PB alone!

Someone requested that I post some pics of a few walls I've built, unfortunately many have been lost for various reasons. I did find some decent photos of 2 different jobs/walls. These were taken in the early days of digital cameras so the quality isn't the best and I'm not a photographer so...

I built retaining walls of every sort for about 15 years. It's hard to tell from the pics but that one doesn't appear to be built properly in the first place. It also appears like it may be suffering from early stage premature failure. Again, without actually being there I can't tell but it...

No, You inserted what you wanted me to say into what I actually said. You can root the branches right on the plant without cutting anything using rooting powder and a damp wrap. Just like this guy did, you don't take the "cuttings" from the plant until AFTER the roots are there. Force roots much...

The same thing can be accomplished with a bit of rooting powder, some damp tissue and a wrap...

Here is a link to one of the best herbal books ever written, Culpeppers complete herbal....It was first published in 1652 but just as good today, besides, you can't beat free!

It makes me laugh when someone claims either system to be more accurate than the other. Both systems are capable of being divided into infinite increments thus rendering them equally accurate. While a system based upon 10s may be easier to calculate in your head, it isn't any more accurate...

I think that technically we are "converted"...at least on the record books. I don't mind the metric system and grasp it fairly well, I just prefer the english system for some odd reason. Working on cars in the eighties and nineties certainly made it easier to learn conversions...About the only...

I think that's just a "here you go now shut up and quit complaining" remedy. Jack and Jill went up the hill.....patched it with vinegar and brown paper....ring any bells?

How long have you been noticing this? A quick read over this link might give another idea to consider.

I've never hidden my feelings about GMOs, why would I start now?

No, it reveals that I'm not in a good mood.

Yeah, the place I've been getting my jugs, airlocks, stoppers, campden, yeast, etc...told me that each packet should do about 5gal. however I would bet money it would do 100gal if I needed it to, just take a bit longer. Right now I'm still experimenting and only using 1gal jugs but very soon...

So then you're saying that the ants, after 40 years here, all of a sudden just stopped being what they are and eating what they've eaten because of their nonscientific name? There are three types of ants here in abundance and have been my whole life. All three have been drawn to and eaten sugar...
