sour cherries=pie cherries most of the crop is canned for pies and other juicy uses. You should have noticed by now they contain more of a pulp type structure than sweet cherries do, for that reason they do not ship or keep well. You can try dehydrating them but that method did not work well...

GREAT POST! as usual. Just some comments on tools, hand tools that is, often old tools are better than the stuff produced today, good well made steel or cast iron may have some rust. Many tools are plated to hide the fact that they were poorly made. I will pick a high carbon steel knife over...

Yes i undestand the complexity of the the breakup and I really don't want to get in too deep either. Mine was a forced break up by the State [highway through house and outbuildings] the state told me that I could do a like for like trade and avoid Capital Gain taxes. They only found one property...

It can be done but expect to spend a lot of money on those filters! my mom had a machine lthat used two wash tubs one for wash water and one for rinse water it worked like this: Fill both tubs [she liked to heat her wash water] fill the machine from the wash and agitate. Wring {power roller] so...

Still no fence posts.:/ Your pile and forget it methods are outdated {is that rude?) Aerobic [need oxygen] bacteria produce heat, carbon dioxide, and ammonia [stinks]. Other bacteria use the carbon dioxide to convert ammonia into nitrites which is converted by oxygen to Nitrates. On the other...

Most of the people that use fake hamburgers do so for the protien which zucchini just don't have. I use zucchini for hash browns because they have less carbs than potatoe. I like to add some chopped onion to either because I just love onions.~gd

Nope, why did you ask?

BAYMULE has given you some excellent advise I think, I am not a cattleman. I think the first thing you need to determine is the basis price of the things that would be sold in the move. Capital gains taxes can eat you alive in selling land. Check out the rollover time you mentioned that really...

About WHAT SOLAR flares exactly? That was the point of my comment. At the peak of the cycle [right about now] flares happen, several in any given day. During the 'quiet' period they happen about once a week. So what was your post about? You were right in your PC way I started the post angry...

Lets not mix up Climate [long term] with weather [short term] I have been keeping records for daily weather for 19 years now {when I was out of town I got them from the local airport] we have set no new records for DAILY weather this year but if you look at monthly stastics we had a warm winter...

OK I am dumb today so how does the water from the tarp reach the soil? did you forget to mention that the soil is mixed with the gravel? If the gravel does not wick the system will not work.All my house plants [except those that hate wet roots] are on a wick system i don't consider them self...

Well Bless Your Heart do you realize that the rest of the posts were made before 3/8/12 and the flare in question was in 2010? I must admit you had me going for a while. PS most of us survied the flare. Sorry I am so rude.

OK I missed the tarps and I don't consider gravel to be a good wicker, It was never my intent to water the clay that was why the soaker hose in my system was half way between the clay and the surface. The intent was to water the compost rich soil of the beds. The clay did store water from the...

For Fabic only [not wood or real leather] Dawn used to come in a foamer bottle [I loved them and saved about 6 of them, maybe it still does?] One tablespoon of either baking OR washing soda dissloved completely in a quart of water a few drops of Dawn enough so it foams [is great for oil removal]...

Sorry but I looked at your website and must ask what the gravel is for? do you have hardpan that prevents water supplied to the gravel from going down to subsoil? We had natural clay that would store tons of water when damp but not release any when it dried out. We put our beds on that and...

Sorry but most consumer smokers are made to hot smoke only. The reason is liability You must really know what you are doing when you cold smoke 100-120 F is a danger zone where Bacteria can live and reproduce rapidily. Most experienced people won't try in that range unless the item is cured...

Mostly from a customers point of view. I would never buy home canned foods one little mistake and you could be dead! To be honest If I get them as gifts I pass them on to the chickens. One of the big things about farm stands or markets is the abilty to examine the goods. Yep I will steal a...
