I've never seen them in person, but apparently some cultivars can be trained through espalier to grow horizontally, and they're so low that you can actually step right over them. They're highly productive too. I can only find sellers in the UK that offer this type of fruit tree. Has anyone...

Eh, it happens. It doesn't necessarily mean that you've done anything wrong, especially since only one duck has it. The point is that you caught it quickly and you're responding to the duck's needs. You're supposed to keep fowl quarantined for four weeks and I personally wouldn't risk it...

I believe it will work on any metal which includes aluminium. I love the stuff. I think it's easier to use than Loctite and Gorilla Glue. What project are you working right now?

When it comes to farming machinery, what matters most to you? What features do you desire the most and what are some deal breakers? Personally, I want something that will last for years, so durability factors into my decision. So I'll look at how well it's designed, what the components are...

Try the Legal Beagle website for an easy-to-understand take on it. The article also links to authoritative sources. Other than that I'd say to check your state's DMV or DOT.

I'm glad homesteading is becoming less popular. I think homesteading is great, but so many young families were jumping into it without being prepared and the animals and children suffered because of it. Homesteading is a huge lifestyle change; it isn't a fad to be taken lightly.

It's a glass case for displaying things. Even the sides have milky spots. It was stored in the basement. They used a dehumidifier, but I wonder whether the humidity still managed to cause the milky white spots. It's not like a ring you'd see on a coffee table from a glasses' condensation...

I had a dog like that once and the vet told me to ignore the thunder and go about my business. In time the dog learned that the thunder was nothing special. However, my dog hadn't been abused or anything like that. I imagine it's tougher in those cases.

I've recently inherited my great-great-grandmother's display hutch. Unfortunately, it's seen better days. The glass is foggy, no matter how many times I clean it and the wood has turned milky in spots. Any tips for how to clean this up? I'm not worried about ruining an antique. As far as I...

Oh, I agree with you there Giselle. I'm always thankful that I somehow managed to keep everything and everyone alive in the beginning. There's definitely a steep learning curve.

I know it's still early in the season, but I can already tell that my cherry tomatoes will be my bumper crop this year. I usually have a bumper crop of squash, but I've lost a bunch of those plants to pests all ready. What about you?

We all make mistakes when it comes to raising livestock, especially when we're first starting out. Well, I made my biggest blunder after I'd been at it for a while. I enjoyed raising chickens, turkeys, and other animals, so when we moved to a new place with plenty of land, I decided to add...

Community gardens are usually stocked with plants that produce more than one round of vegetables or fruits. Radishes aren't the best idea since once it's picked, it's picked. Tomatoes, squash, and cucumbers would all be better choices to plant since they produce all season long. Your idea of...

Doing something alone is considered social distancing. You weren't told to isolate yourself in your home as someone who had been exposed to the virus or as someone who tested positive to the virus. You did nothing wrong. This woman is upset at the world because she lost her mother. A lot of...

The goats and dogs like playing with ice. I ice down the water as needed too. The dogs have a kiddie pool and I guess the other creatures could use it if they so desired. The dogs are allowed in the kiddie pool as a treat (they aren't outside only dogs). I freeze water in milk jugs and I put...

If the outlay is cost effective I say go for it. I don't see the demand going away in the near future. You sound like a kindhearted person, but you shouldn't feel guilty for earning money with your talents. Medical care isn't free, even though there's a huge need. Plus, think about all the...

What's your weather been like this month? At the moment it's incredibly hot and humid, but last week I had to cover some of my plants because it got so cold at night. There have been huge swings in temps lately.

This was an impulse buy while I was shopping at The Home Depot. I bought an electrical Black+Decker LP 1000 (it's like a loper/saw sort of) in March and I've been using it steadily since then. I had a similar model that lasted for years. It's great for speedily cleaning up yard debris...

I have four hummingbird feeders and each one attracts its share of ants and yellow jackets. Is there a way to deter the pests while allowing the hummingbirds to drink? We really enjoy watching the hummingbirds flit about, but could do without the bugs.

Which plants are incompatible and should not be planted close to one another because they change the taste, they attract pests, they harm the growth rate, or they encourage diseases? How far apart do those plants need to be in order to avoid a problem?
