I just purchased a product from Azure Standard called SaferGro Ant Out it is made with clove oil and works great plus the smell is yummy. I have also used Seventh Generation citrus cleaner for ants and have had great success and I love the orange scent too. You could probably make something...
You don't want to risk it with a bee allergy Deb, my sister is very allergic to bees and it's just not worth it. Find a beekeeper and use the barter system perhaps you could trade fresh eggs. :) I was able to get kale and a few tomatoes planted last night and put in 180 onion starts tonight and...
I miss your updates as well, It's a busy time of year. When people treat you differently just chalk it up to their insecurity, and the ones that spread lies will be found out. Funny how those types invite drama to them like flies to road apples! You can smile and know that you are moving in a...
I know how you feel. If you want something done............... I cant stand a tiller that acts like a jack hammer. I hire a guy that does tractor work for mine. I figure the time saved for me is much time I can do other things.

They finally arrived!!! I picked up my bee package on Saturday and installed them in my top bar hive. I managed to only walk away with 1 sting ( not the bee's fault) and had some mineral clay that took care of it right away. I have a feeder set up and made sure they have a water source that...
Hey Pink you might try taking non refundable deposits from people when they want you to hold a critter for them. It helps weed out the folks that just want to window shop and they don't waste your time. Serious buyers won't have any kind of problem with it. If the person has a change of heart...
