It's Magic..... - 8 replies At least that’s what it says on the side. Just got this “new” corn sheller from a guy I work with. It works real good, but, the bushings are shot. So it flops around abit. I’m going to take it apart and have my neighbor (ex-navy machinist) make some new bushings. I’m not one of these Antique Road show/don’t me... |

Another New Tractor..... - 8 replies Well, this is my “new” tractor (some one already stole my title.) All the tech stuff…..1995, All hydrostatic, less than 400 hrs, diesel, 4wd. This will be a welcome edition to the farm. I was barely off the trailer and I was bush-hogging down the driveway. Same weight and HP as my 8N, but, being diesel, and not 60 yrs old, a... |

BT (Bacillus Thuringiensis).... - 12 replies I thought I’d throw this out there. I’ve been using BT because of the Colorado Potatoe Beetles I always get. So far, I’d say it works really well. While they have been around, they are either in retreat or dying on the battlefield. The jap beetles are now here also. Thought I’d try it out on them. BT is a bacteria t... |

Quantities of production...... - 14 replies O.K. ....so I can’t seem to get the wifey unit to understand that growing a few plants is not enough to go to market with. If I’m going to spend the $10-20 for a table I’d like to have alittle more than a basket or so of extra lettuce leaves or a couple of tomatoes to sell. I figured out that if I want to make a big deal ou... |

Green challenge thingy.... - 2 replies Regarding the green challenge, the rules say at least 500 characters long. Is that characters or words? (never saw a characters criteria for an article/text type thing before.) Or maybe it was supposed to be … or less … to keep them shorter. The 2 entries so far looked like they were less. I was hoping it was at least 500 wo... |

going to an auction this friday....grrrr.... - 10 replies They have the usual auction/estate stuff…but, they have 5 green houses of various sizes (20-30’ wide, 40 -90’ long), furnaces, shutters, shade clothe, etc. It’s just going to p*ss me off. Either there will be a bunch of farmers there who could care less about green houses and they’ll go for like $5 each but I won... |

O.K. all you chemists.......... - 2 replies So I have this formula for a compost mixture. It calls for Urea (1.2 oz. or something.) I can’t find Urea (Carbamide) on the market. I’ve found some products with Urea in it. It almost looks like it’s a conrtrolled substance. From what I gather it might be essentially the same as any water soluable Nitrogen. What are your... |

Site for Market growers.... - 2 replies Wow! A new thread for this forum. Cool. I’ve been poking around lately. Some people call this surfing the internet. Anywho, I found a few sites that apply to me locally. One is the Local Growers Guild. It has info on alot of things. I think I’ll join. I noticed some info on grants and writing them and getting assistance on writing... |

Blog Series ??..... - 3 replies I posted a blog. I thought I was starting a series. As I was trying to enter the next chapter, I noticed a script window was being blocked by my browser to enter a series title in. I didn’t notice this when I posted the first blog and just posted it anyway. Can I change the first blog to a series, or just start a new start of a series w... |

O.K., I give up....went to photobucket..... - 5 replies So, I’ve u/l’d some pics from my own home page/ftp space. Problem is every time I modify my page, my software renames all the .jpg’s. Consequently, it is messing up the references that I’ve placed here. I can’t seem to get the pics to come up if I just reference the file on my FTP space. So,... I signed up on pho... |

Blog or Blog series?..... - 5 replies So, I’ve been contemplating doing this blog thing about what I’m getting ready to do. The one other blog I’ve done on lumberjocks ended as quickly as it started. I noticed something about the process, though. I edited my original blog and it didn’t show up as anything new. So, if my ego wanted to notify others that I&#... |

TOTALLY not gardening, but, for you canucks.... - 6 replies Since there are so many canadiens here I was wondering something. What would it be like to ride a motorcycle from L.A. north to the arctic circle? I can figure the oregon, washington, or nevada, idaho, whatever part, but, north of that becomes a “mystery.” Time of year? Bugs? Fog? Ice? Moose? Rampant womping evergreens? mean... |

CSA's vs. Farm Market....... - 28 replies O.K., so I haven’t really done alot of research regarding CSA’s. But, from what I know, they seem a bit scary. The main thing I’m thinking about is the part where you take their money and when things ripen, they get stuff. Take people’s money and hope your crops come in. Old story, yes. No guarantees on whether I grow ... |

Making your own garden tools - 9 replies I’ve purchased many garden tools. Every time I use one, I think to myself….”this isn’t quite right”...or…”I wish this had a widget”. So, I started making my own tools. Using a tool is the quickest way to figure out what’s wrong with it. Every one is different and no tool can accommodate ev... |

So...am I to understand that there are no topics in the Sweating forum?.... - 5 replies I used to be a real technophile and could figure these things out at a glance. I’m still getting used to this “blog” thing and such. Apparently the “Sweating” forums is up for grabs then. Maybe I could be…..the….very…first….POSTER! except I can’t think of anything to post. AAAH... |
