Make sure your coop is sound my most productive trap bait for 'coons was marshmellows with a vanilla scent. Can't be sure that it was the scent but I never had any luck with fruity or choclate marshmellows.
"Summer leeks" are harvested the year they were planted While Winter leeks are harvested the following spring-summer. Winters generally are larger with a stronger taste. I have never found any bulbs and the part you eat is not a bulb, just a bundle of leaves growing from the commobn roots. If...
wOW Sounds really col d where you are. I assumeyou know about frost heaving. So what do you do to support the slab? What do you do about frost heaving in the mound? oops I should have read more carefully because I read mild as cold Sorry for wasting everyones time!.
Actually they do not. If you super heat the mix in a pressure cooker every boilable vapor comes to the condenser and either very long air or water cooled pipes ane needed to convert back to liquid and then you still have the proplem of seperating the alsohol from the water. In theory a moonshine...
the solution contains a minimum 35% of alcohol and 100g of vanilla beans were used per litre. Most people don't want the beans after all the Vanille flavor is extracted out [vanills bean extractives] in 70 proof alcohol. Exactly what extractives are depend on the beans used, generally the...
If I lived in a cool moderate climate I would have one room set off with a small window or panel to be opened to the outside to let cool air in. The top and interior walls would be very well insulated. Thiis would be used as a food storage/root celler. But in this warmer NC climate that would...
Did you mean Salem MENTHOL flavor? I know a few tricks for tobacco that will reduce it but years ago when I worked with menthol {for mouthwash] nothing would get the flavor or smell off my skin hail or clothing except time. Sorry about your nuts.
Yep it was a homestead granted by government in the wilds of western NY back in the 1800s Line power was available at the road but the house and outbuildings had been sited on a hill set well back from the road and my family didn't have the money to to bring power le the house until after WWII...
A cool moist root celler can carry over carrots.Check about once a week if they are starting to dry out they need more moisture. We always planted for an excess in the fall and any that couldn't fit the root celler we would leave in the ground covered by about 6" of straw. various rodents would...
Well with better that 10000 of your posts here you are hard to avoid. By the way I had received 2 private messages that warned me that you were gunning for me. even then I made the mistake of commenting on your post. It is bound to happen again because I respond to messages not who wrote them. I...
Message received. If you ladies choose to ignore my experience and chemical skills that doesn't bother me a bit. I do the same for you. When someone makes wild claims I will continue to shoot them down. I feel that the truth is more important than conventional wisdom aka old wives tales. Someday...
Maybe if you ask what you want to know we can help but since you have done it before i won't repeat everything. yes skining them will be hard but fat birds skin easier because the fat is weak compared to muscle. yes old birds pluck harder than young birds. we usually cut the joint at the...
I guess that it boils down to how you define Homestead. My father was the laughting stock of the county when he bought a team [matched pair] of horses in the summer of 1941 [WWII was comming but the USA was hoping to sit it out] after the fall crops were in he put his John Deere tractor up on...
I use HEAVY weight aluminium food service sheet pans The 'half sheet' size works best in my small kichen. The aluminium conduct heat much better than cast iron [I have done trials against my cast iron griddle plate, about 20% faster thawing} I also use them for freezing small items Diced onions...
