I am getting ready to plant about 3700 trees and shrubs this year. Sort of rebuilding what once was. The local DNR and county conservation office are 2 excellent sources to check with. Up in MN the...

I think most people focus on the $$$$$$ when buying or building and don't give much thought to 5 years or 15 years down the road. They plan on today and sometimes tomorrow. A lot of people have the...

Egon, thanx for seeing past the fluff and seeing the actual meat and potatoes/mechanics of the big picture. You yourself are a man of depth and observation.
thanx, steve

Pat, thanx for the vote of confidence. Now Ill tell you the rest. I have a terminal illness and don't count on too many more good years. We built this house with the intent of having an adult foster...

We planned on getting a Kitchen Aid when we moved into our new house, so we had an 18' base cabinet installed with a spring-assist swing-out shelf so now the Artisan 325 and all components can live...

The dogs get the ones that are safe for them and all the rest get to visit the ol' chipper/shredder down at the compost pile.

We have been in our new home 4 years now. If we splurged at all, it might be the heated floor in the attached greenhouse or the heated slab in the attached garage. But then it might have been getting...

I was just robbed for $2.40 a gallon in NE Minnesota.

We built a split level and used 4 course of ICF and a 4 ft. 2X6 stud wall on top of that. It gives us a full 8 ft. under duct work and about 8'9" of finished ceiling in all the other rooms. The...

I have done this with peas also. I planted everything at the same time.

We have a Welbilt 2# and use it frequently. It's kind of a treat
adding whatever you feel like putting in and wait for the bread to get done. We have also done pizza dough. I like it and use it more...

I bought this chipper because it met my particular wants and needs. It was purchased for the shredder. According to propaganda, it will take a 3 1/2" branch/tree, but I was more concerned with the...

o.k. a little more detail. We have a split entry with attached garage. The basement has 9' ceilings. The greenhouse floor is about 2 1/2' lower than the main floor. There are double doors off the...

I guess my apologies go out to all. When I joined this site, I thought "a friendly place for folks to talk about living in the country" meant just that. And it is totally beyond me why I would even...

The same thing only diferent. We built 4500 sq. ft. of home in northern MN. 2 years ago. It has a basement and main level. Somewhere between the two levels, we have a commercial greenhouse attached...

Thanx Gator. There are so, so, so many mentions of burning garbage, it would be hard to find an appropriate thread. And I don't think too well when steam is coming from my ears. Besides, I thought...

I have done searches and read a lot on composting, but I still have unanswered questions. I will put my theory to practice this summer and would invite any feedback.
I'll start with my new...

I have read quite a few posts here about burning garbage. Now don't get me wrong. I'm not a tree hugger or any kinda actavist. I'm just a hard working, nature loving guy.............

I don't know about the grain. My 15 yr. old daughter is doing a science fair project on the effects of algae when mixed with cornmeal. The chemical make-up of cornmeal is almost identical to that of...
