<font color="blue"> from a well balanced tank it should be mostly treated grey water... </font color>

The majority of that will evaporate anyway.

It sounds like the leaves dropped early cause of drought stress, but the trees are not likely to be dormant yet. Give them a bit of water occasionally to keep the roots going and wait till late...

We live on the coast and have a fourteen foot Boston Whaler...but even that little jobber sucks money. BTW, we found, at least here in SC, that the motor and the boat are actually registered...

Anyone own or use one of these? I'm considering getting one to use to cut joints in our modified timber frame house.

nice.....reminds me of cold mountain air.

Our orchard is not large (30 trees), but, FWIW, I've opted to use fairly deep cypress mulch in a four foot diameter circle around the fruit trees and low growing white (Dutch or New Zealand) clover...

Thanks for the suggestions.

We have a plumbing supply house close by that is similarly providing both great advice and competitive pricing. The staff is knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. ...

We've broken ground and will begin framing our mountain house soon. The plan is to dry it in as quickly as possible and then take our time with finishing. I plan to do as much as possible myself,...

I too find low tech answers fascinating and sometimes feasible, but high tech answers more often than not more practical. If you are attracted to the idea of straightforward, high R-value building...

I too have interests in a farming lifestyle, unprofitable though it most likely will be, and have been watching this discussion thread with interest.

Its funny how visions go. I've already had...

Are they are dwarf or semi-dwarf trees? If so, I think you will be ok with 10 foot between them. If not, put one elsewhere, put two in one hole (see fruit tree threads) or give the extra one to a...

Our area is rustic and rural, so I agree that there must be a number of guys with portable bandsaw mills around us. I've been asking around and checking the papers. I'm sure we'll find someone. In...

FS,

We're in western NC near Sylva.

Thx for the feedback. I haven't located anyone in our area yet, but the hunt for a good sawyer continues as we pile up logs. I'm also investigating various types of saw equipment. It sure would be...

Egon,

Still working on the fence eh? Pics?

As a weekend warrior routinely facing long drives to work incredible hard and then take more long drives, I can only comment:.....Ah, please pass the...

I'll wish you lots of luck and predict you will have major fun!

I built a small 6' x 12' sort of greenhouse a few years ago out of old sliding glass panels. It has been an endless source of...

I think it depends in part on how well drained the soil in that area is. Our main garden area is on a slope about as you describe. (It is about the only area on our property that is even close to...

great lookin' lambs. ewe's lucky. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

<font color="blue"> Two wheel cylinders, drums, pads and shoes, one caliper, master cylinder and vacuum booster and 30 feet of brake line later, the truck would stop </font color>

LOL. I hear...

We're clearing some land and setting aside the good sawlogs on a landing area we built for the purpose. Material is poplar, some oak, alitlle bit of cherry and a fair slug of hickory and maple. ...

When we acquired our mountain property a few years ago, we also got our fair share of "stuff" (mostly junk to haul off). One item worth keeping is a low mileage 1975 Jeep 4x4 Wagoneer stored in a...

Danny,

I'm revisiting the whole gardening approach this year....now looking at starting seeds with an eye towards putting in fall/winter crops. Wierd isn't it....four straight years of drought...

Thanks Bird. We sure feel lucky in the view and playing field departments, but it took a heck of a long time to get this far. The reward?.....Now I get to work my a$$ off for the forseeable...

Soon Gary. That side of the knoll is the next area to feel the clearing bite because thats where the septic tank and lines go.

We have the garden area tilled, but only partially planted, even at this late date. It has been a very wet spring with too few dry enough days....that's my excuse and I'm sticking with it ...
