OK made a really nice scented candle in one of the jars and tied a pretty ribbon on it/ Learned alot about making candles in this one short session. It doesn't look professional and there is one area that i had to touch up so the top isn't perfectly smooth but I think it came out pretty nice for...

Patch where are you located? We have been thinking of starting a NZ line for meat and would love to get a breeding trio (unrelated buck).

We raise flemish giants. If you are looking for meat rabbits, then new zealands are what you want. Although the flemsih are bigger, they are longer too and tend to be bonier than the new zealands. Breeding meat rabbits I think is a bit easier than show rabbits because there really isn't anything...

My son will be 6 April 22 and he is amazing with what he observes. His kindergarten teacher tells me how much she's learned about raising chicks and rabbits. He can explain the different feeds the chicks get vs the layers, what they like to eat, how to collect the eggs etc. She said she never...

I was able to pick up some gaskets as Shagbark also a true value dealer. I had heard they'd be good for dry storage. I have about 6-7 dozen that she didn't want. I was so excited about getting them until I saw them. They are pretty jars and I may use them to put dry soup mixes in and selll them...

I just found an ad on craigslist for someone who works for a bakery and has 100+ 2-3 gallon food pails a night that he is giving away. He said they had icing and frosting in them. He's saving 60 for me for next Friday. I thought they'd be perfect for stroing rice and grains as well as feed for...

I just received several dozen old mason jars for canning from someone from freecycle. But these are the type with glass lids and a gasket and a metal clasp over the top. Can I use those? How do I use those? and how do I tell if something seals with those? If they can't be used what can they be...

great article.

We haven't quite figured out what we're going to do with all the chicks. We have a converted shed where my 20+ big girls are and they are laying. One area in the shed is sectioned off for the goats and the other area sectioned off for the 65-6 week old chicks we have. There are about 20+ of...

I think the greatest gift I can give my son is to be SS and be brought up in an environment that tries to nurture nature. I hope my son absorbs all this like a sponge and when he's grown can do anything

I have bought many freeze dried cans from Emergency Essentials( www.beprepared.com). They have staples like fruits and Veggies but all full meals like beef stroganoff and chicken tetrazzini. I have tried the beef stroganoff and it is actually very good. I buy the superpails of beans, lentils...

I think that if things get icky(political term) I would feel more comfy knowing that I can protect my family and keep what I've worked hard to put away. I really don't have any hesitation at all of using a weapon to protect my family and I do feel it may come to that. The great thing about urban...

We breed Flemish Giant Rabbits.

Can you do a decal with Flemish Giant Rabbits?

I had to read the post twice. At first I thought you said you had a weak one and took it out to cull it. Then reread it and saw c-u-d-d-l-e it. Whewww. We've named most of our original chicks and my son loves that some are his. We love hatching them now. Soooo addictive. We've got a bator full...

I just ordered a book from Amazon on root cellars. I have done a liitle research just have to figure out my needs and how to get the job done. We have a neighbor with a bobcat and when I clear and till for the garden I might as well dig for the root cellar while its here. edited again for...

pickling eggs count :weee I can incubate my own eggs now and have gotten pretty good at candling them and even helping some hatch. Caring for chickens and rasing them I can do pretty well now. I can rasie rabbits and even bottle feed 2 week old bunnies when momma dries out. Those bugger are now...

I gotta get onemyself one too

My hubby works for an electric motor shop and they use copper wire to rewind motors and take the scrap to the yard for cash. He said the guys running the scrap yards all carry guns because some places have been robbed. They also now take a copy of ID's. A few months ago the local police were...
