Hi, does anyone have a good idea regarding pumping water for livestock in remote locations? I'm been reading about solar powered pumps and this idea seems pretty good. Does anyone out there have...
yeah, the carpenter bees rarelt sting, but do a great deal
of damage to blds. I have the kids put an insect net on a
long pole and I pay them 10 cents a head. If you clog up
their holes, they...
I usually start growing at the end of january. This is when I
start seeds for tomato, pepper, and cabbage family. The greenhouse is 20x60' and has a double layer of 6mil poly.
By the end of march...
any thoughts on good heating sources for a greenhouse?
I've used propane but its getting expensive. I don't have access to natural gas. I friend of mine had an outside
woodstove house and it...
OK, a few days ago, the temps outside where below
10F. My big pond had ice about 2 inches thick, but
the small one wasn't even the slightest bit phased
by the temp. There wasn't even any ice...
When I originally posted this message I never realized all the responses that it would cause. I thought maybe the water purity (such as minerals) in the water can cause its freezing

Here in PA, deer season starts the monday after thnxgivin'.
And you would think that is a holiday with most schools closed
and many business people taking the day off.
In my part of PA, they have...
Yeah, all those chemicals just to make it "drinkable"
I'll stick to me spring water. I have a bunch of friends from
the city that come out to my spring to get their drinking water. They use the...
I made a solar oven for melting down old bee frames to get
the wax. I never used it for cooking but the temps in there
get fairly hot. I made the thing for less than $50.
all you need is a peice...
This question is kinda strange. I know that water will
freeze at 32F, but running water, on the other hand, seems
to run without freezing at a much lower temp. Also, some
water, like the spring...
One easy way to collect the sap is to use a long plastic tube. I found some
at the local hardware store pretty cheap. I run the tubing from each tree to a
clean 55 gallon drum. I used to do the...
I'll agree 100% with cowboydoc's view on Kencove.
I live about 50 miles from them and just drove out yesterday to pickup a couple rolls of HT 12 1/2 gauge wire.

Thanx for the advise Chris. I read somewhere about mothballs but I also have dogs and cats that roam all over
and I don't want them to get sick on the mothballs. As for groundhogs, I usually use a...
I have an old Ford truck sitting up on the hill. I mostly use it for hauling firewood etc. Its not inspected so I don't run it too often. Anyway, I went out to start it and it was going...
Hi all, I've been reading some stuff about these
RAM pumps and how you can make water flow
uphill as long as you have enough water flow from
a creek or stream.
Has anyone here ever used one of...
Here is PA, each county does water testing, its about $30
per sample. But the water doesn't smell. The spring itself
comes from near a vein of coal that hasn't been mined.
Actually there's huge...
Thanks for the advice Mike, actually I was thinking
about crushed shale but where the barn is located is
hard to access with a tri-axle truck. a 4x4 can get there
very easy, but its bed is soo...
I read some about apples etc. Has anyone had any luck
with growing apples from cuttings? I would like to start
about 10 acres of apples, say one ac. each of 10 varieties, but the cost for that...
I 5th that idea,
sounds like a forum to me.
I could see disc like what grain bullet do you

Keep up the good work

I've heard many posts about pouring a slab for the
floor of pole barns, but my problem is the $$$ and I wanted
just the dirt floor. Does anyone have any comments onthis, like the floor getting too...
I have a small spring that comes out of the hill pretty clean, but about two feet down stream is a rather orange area that makes all the water pretty orange. I tested the pH and it was 6.5 at the...
