    Worm composting

    Actually pretty well. The first level is beginning to fill with worm castings. I haven't harvested any as of yet, nor the "tea" from the spigot at the bottom. I'm waiting for it to build up some more. I bought a little meter to measure the moisture content and pH levels which are important to...

    Dead Chicken and other issues...

    Sorry to hear about your chicken. I had that happen to one of mine a couple of years ago. One minute I saw her walking around; a few minutes later she was lying dead on the ground with no obvious signs of how she died. From Mother Earth...and, there are other articles online if you search...

    Egg Carving

    I have a wholesale customer that we private label for. He has a home delivery egg biz and has expanded to selling baked goods and a few of our products. He came by yesterday to pick up some jams and told me about a new product he is making...carved eggs! He uses a dental drill to make them. I...

    What's in your organic grain?

    I missed the word "average" in front of consumer. I was thinking of people who are more involved with this whole process like us. However, I still think it is not hard; most people don't bother for whatever reason. NH...I never said Big Ag is not at fault and it's people own fault. Really, BOTH...

    What's in your organic grain?

    No it's not. Something may be labeled as organic, but many labels on many products today are false! You have to do your own due diligence. We are not the average consumer...and, I am talking about us. If you think just because something is labeled organic it should be organic, then with all dues...

    What's in your organic grain?

    I agree! if your food makes you sick, you can blame it on big business; you can blame it on big agriculture; you can blame it on anyone you want to...but, in reality, you must blame it on yourself if you are not up to date with what's going on with our food supply today.

    What's in your organic grain?

    The same goes for the food we consume. Last fall, we dry canned 50 lbs each of rice, black beans and lentils. I made sure I contacted the companies I bought them from before I bought them and asked where they were grown. I didn't care that they said Organic, I only bought from those companies...

    Coffee done now

    Been up since 3am. Always get up at this time...well, maybe sleep until 4am on the weekend. I love getting up early. It is my time. No one calling me on me. The world is a quiet, reflective place in the early morning hours. My rooster gets up shortly after me and starts announcing the new day...

    What did you do in the garden today?

    I love wild flowers. I have one flat of picotee, dazzler and wild cosmos growing in my greenhouse along with 4 colors of zinnias and 4 colors of cornflowers. They are almost ready to move outside at 3-4 inches each. I also planted flats of marigolds, dwarf sunflowers, black eyed susans, ox eyed...

    A New Garden Pond in the Pocono Mountains

    Since our pond will be in the Southern sun all day, I decided to build a sun block. This is my progress so far. I will stain it to match the pond and cover it with sun shade cloth.
