    Anyone snare rabbits?

    Thats the same corner you see in a picture with snare set on the first page of this thread, theres maybe 3 inches of clearance under the fence. Its a vinyl fence thats about 5.5ft tall. Ive never seen a predator of any type in my back yard, but did see a yote one time in the front of my house...

    Anyone snare rabbits?

    Well it was pulled under the fence into my neighbors yard, so I know it wasnt my dogs and they dont have any pets and their back yard is completely fenced. So that rules out most larger animals. Could be a cat, but I havent seen any cats ever loose in my neighborhood. This is the same corner I...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ive got weed issues also, most important is to keep them under control till the plants can compete with them. Next year Im going to put landscape fabric between my rows I think, it should help. I bought a big 4ft wide roll of heavy stuff online, gonna fold it in half and lay it between the rows...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    It does ok usually, actually I over fertilized last year and had some issues, nute sensitive plants were stunted. This year it seems to be back on track, sometimes less is more. I use all organic fertilizer and mix it up a bit. I have some outside pet rabbits so they supply me with a steady...

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ive heard that some supermarket potatoes are treated with something to keep them from sprouting. Ive been growing the same yukon gold for the last 3 years and really like them. I keep the small ones to plant the following year, eat the bigger ones. They were purchased at walmart originally.

    Garden!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Picked onions yesterday... Also was running low on seeds so I did a seed run by planting my smaller onions last fall and letting them grow this summer... These should be enough to last a few years!!!

    This is so good! Fidget spinner fishing!

    Butthole hairs would make an interesting trout fly, and it would smell like the fish taste, ironic?

    New Garage Build

    If you have the time and energy and space you can DYI geothermal fairly cheap without a lot of equipment, not to HEAT the garage in the winter but you should be able to keep it above freezing if its insulated fairly easily for pennies a day and also cool it in the summer just by running a few...

    Aronia, aka chokeberry...

    Seem to have some natural pectin in them also, my normal recipe for fruit jam ended up way over pectin, had to dilute it with 1/3 more juice. I think my favorite mixture so far is 4 cups grape puree, 1 c aronia juice and 1c rhubarb juice, 3 c sugar and 1/4c low sugar pectin...

    Aronia, aka chokeberry...

    My first time playing with aronia. So far I like them more than I thought I would. Buddy has some bushes on his farm and let me pick a few gallons today. bushes are loaded and hang in large clusters which makes picking fairly easy... Sugar content surprised me, they are definitely sweet...

    River bank grapes

    Crushing the seeds/skins does change the flavor some, it makes it a little more bitter and adds a strange zing. The juice I get from the stems/seeds after going through the normal food mill is very thick and Im sure loaded with stuff thats good for you. Health wise seeds are supposed to be the...

    dirt/field prep for trees?

    So I rented a bobcat and built a few pretty decent sized rock piles on Wed, also had a guy come and subsoil till the area where I plan to put trees. Now I need to find a heavy 'wishek' disk to break up the sod, the ripper messed up the surface areas in some places pretty bad. Anyone have or know...

    River bank grapes

    I run my grapes through a food mill with an auger designed for grapes, it was a hand crank one that I modified to use a power drill. Works great and you end up with jam instead of jelly, which I prefer. I have a steam extractor but dont use it much at all.
