Re: Antibiotic Rule Changes

Shnookie, you're not wrong about the money grab thing.

Antibiotic Rule Changes

Seed Saving experience, tips and tricks

I bet beets would be like carrots. You have to carefully pull them at the last minute before the soil freezes, store cool and moist over the winter (like in damp sand), and then as soon as the ground thaws next spring get them back out there. Sometimes crappy spring weather can trick biennials into ...

Greenhouses and Chickens

If the space isn't large enough, you may have too much manure to directly use that ground for veggies, although short-term they are great at turning the soil and eating weeds, seeds and bugs.
I'm liking this idea of quail in the planted greenhouse. : )
