    Planting by the moon phases

    I always plant by the signs now. I didn't one year and my garden failed miserably,..won't do that again. I'm in no way superstitious, but I do believe the moon has a way of making those seeds and new transplants really thrive. ;) IMO that is.

    Hey, someone here?

    Well that is a shame. I rather enjoyed to hear about everyone's daily self sufficient lives. Always a good place to get advice from too. Maybe the administrators that be should put more effort into advertising this forum. Being a prepper and being self sufficient is the new big thing. :thumbsup

    Hey Bee! Back when I lived in my retro 70's mobile home,..which I loved,..I painted my kitchen cabinets, but I used a good oil based paint.

    what do you do with your used cooking oil?

    I always use it to mix with our dogs food,..but we have three very large outdoor dogs,..since you have no dogs to give it to maybe you have a neighbor, friend, or family member who could use it to feed to their dogs? Or pigs,..they like it to. :)

    Do You Like Where Your At...?

    I am very happy where I am and have no intentions on leaving. I love it here in the mountains. The living is simple,fairly cheap, and the taxes are low. The weather isn't bad,..no major issues like tornadoes, earthquakes or hurricanes,..just maybe a little flooding occasionally or a few feet of...

    Thoughts on incubators versus broodies

    I think an incubator is more convenient and at times, more reliable. For me, I have had good hatches in the incubator most of the time, depending on the eggs. My broody hens,..not so much. I have one gal that goes broody very often and she has always been a good momma,..but this year she just...

    Is becoming Self Sufficient the new fad?

    This is how I see it also. Nothing new here either. I am shocked to see others pick up stuff we have been doing for years and act like it is something new and special. :rolleyes: I do believe it is a fad,..being green and this "farm fresh" stuff. Everthing you see advertised now is connected to...
