We found a trap that is very, very sensitive and it will trap the little buggers. They are clever little things aren't they? I wouldn't have thought they would have done something like that though. I...

I've been looking at some local statistics in my county and our home schooled children are much more likely to go to college than children who go to public school. I also see that our home schooled...

I don't see any harm in it. It would be an experience she either likes or doesn't. If she doesn't try, she may not realize she doesn't like it. And if she does, then let her. I am all for girls and...

We use it in just about anything. It isn't as fatty as beef but it is delicious. I love buffalo burgers and have contemplated buying a buffalo calf and raising my own for meat. I would love to get...

I found this recipe online. This is what we use at home for our high efficiency washer. It is low sudsing and it works really well. We don't add any fragrance to it at all and it always does very...

I don't really want a reptile for a pet. If I want a pet, I want something with fur on it, like a cow. :) Seriously though reptiles never did have any attraction for me. I guess it all depends upon...

I was talking to someone the other day about going to the flea market and buying something. He actually looked at me sort of strange and asked me why I went to the flea market. I told him they had a...

You could fib and say you will be using it. You don't have to actually say when but you will otherwise you wouldn't have bought it in the first place.

That's the truth if it was ever told MdWest! I have a very hard time with things that are cheaply made now. Did you know that they can make aspirin for pennies but they cost just the same if not...

Coffee is essential in our house because it takes me a while before I can wake up properly. I tend to use Eight O'Clock coffee for two reasons. The first is because it is one of the cheapest but the...

I know it sounds gross but if you want them to be flaky, use lard and don't kneed them a lot. If you continue to kneed them, they will be tough. Use ICE COLD water when you put your water in. It's...

Did you find a rubber gasket in the kit? You may have left it off. Check it and see. If you can't find one, you can do what 85% of my neighbors do and use duct tape (just kidding). Check for the...

My local Southern State farm supply has some Amish built chicken coops for just a few hens. They are low to the ground and easy to reach for humans too. I haven't raised chickens for years but I'm...

I have some old hay that I didn't use this last year. I don't like to feed it to livestock after it's this old. I usually just cut the strings and scatter it out in the back pasture where there is no...

You can try peas as they are a cold weather crop. I love snow peas and they will only grow when it's slightly chilly and the sun is weaker. I am getting ready to plant mine in the next few days. I...

We have had a couple of floods in my area this summer and then we've had several bad straight line wind storms. I've lost two big oaks this summer alone and that doesn't count the trees that snapped...

Well, I don't think we are going to have trouble with feral cats much longer. The neighbors and I have been doing what WeldingIsFun suggested in post #9. I don't like doing it but I can't afford for...

We haven't had any luck with our garden this year so we have been buying produce at the Farmer's market near us. We went this morning to buy some basics and I bought a few nice tomatoes. It cost me...

There was a young Amish mother this spring who's horse ran away with the carriage while she and her two young sons were in it. They crashed through a fence and went down a 30 foot embankment. The two...

Yeah they are great for compost. I would crush up the egg shells as much as possible though. They put calcium into the soil. We used to use pig blood around our roses when I was home. When butchering...

I need a recipe or just instructions on how to make cornbread. My mom used to make it every night but I never paid any attention to how she made it. I want to start making it for my kids especially...

Wow! I'm interested in hearing about this. I love Mexican type salads and this sounds pretty good. I wonder if they have the recipe online somewhere. I'll be sure to look this one up.

I hate to hear that. It's a shame that a farming family can't compete in these times. What will happen to the nation's food supply if the corporation farms decide to run up the food prices? We will...

I put out a whole field of string beans and just went back to till through them. I just have two rows which came up. I was counting on bringing these to the farmer's market but I guess we will just...

I think you would be better off if you tried Etsy which was developed to sell craft items from the get go. Since they are specific to crafts and such, people come there to look for handcrafted...
