I think your wife is right on the money. I can see PWYW pricing working out for a charity, but that's about it. I understand your viewpoint. However, you should consider that your regular customers might really think your prices are too high. Maybe they just go along with it because you have...

No, but I would love to. I've never even seen one in real life. How cool is that you get to be up close and personal with a balloonist. I didn't even know there was such a thing.

I usually have about three months out of the year when I don't have any clients. Not having a daily purpose can get pretty tiring, so I try to use that time in other productive ways. I spend it researching upcoming trends, looking at my advertising plan, and checking out my sources to make...

I have a client that wants me to carve wildlife scenes into some live trees. Is it possible to carve into the trunk without killing the tree? I know it's an odd question, but I believe we have some tree farmers here, so I'm hoping for some tips.

I decided to take your advice. When I pulled into the drive, I finally noticed that the flowers are fake. Apparently she sells fantasy followers on Etsy. No wonder they looked so exotic. I'm still feeling a bit sheepish. They looked real from the road, though.

What do you guys use to protect your recreational vehicles from theft when you're using them away from home? It's not always practical to take a covered trailer.

@j_kraut, I hope you'll let us know what you decided to go with and whether it's working out for you. Tractors are the backbone of farming, and there are so many to choose from that it's hard to settle on one.

Hey guys! I turned my landscaping company into something much bigger than just mowing, planting flowers, cutting down trees, and raking leaves. I decided to offer more services after the financial crisis hit, in order to find new clients who were looking for more complicated things like...

Blueberry bushes are easy to grow. They usually start producing fruit within three to five years, so you'll have to be patient until then. They continue to produce fruit for years, though, so it's well worth the wait.

I doubt it was a hibiscus. The flowers were the same bright magenta color, and it appeared to be a bushy plant, but it was different from anything I've seen before.

This is driving me crazy. I've googled everything I can think of, but I still can't find the name of the plant. Its flowers were as big as dinner plates. They were a bright fuchsia color. I saw it from the road, so I didn't get a look at the leaves. There were several flowers on the plant...

I've been looking into beekeeping as a hobby. Have you seen this outfit? How Flow Works They claim that you can use their setup to tap a hive much like you'd tap a maple tree. They raised a ton of money through Indiegogo. I wonder if it actually works. It sounds too good to be true.

There's a mobile meat processing unit around here. I believe they handle the whole thing from start to finish. I bet it's expensive to use. I can see the appeal though, since the coronavirus and hacker activity has closed some of the other plants.

I'll try that then. I wasn't aware that ladybugs were into raisins, and those are easy enough to fetch, so I'll grab some at the store when I go. Thanks for the tips! You could always sell ladybug houses too down the road. Good luck with your crop of greens!

Welcome to the forum! I've tried running a similar image search, but nothing useful pops up to help identify it. You might try asking at reddit.com/r/whatisthisthing/, @Ayliniemi. I'd like to know what is too, so I hope you'll post an update if you find out.

Hey, at least they didn't overhear you talking badly about them, @Almost Eden. I thought for sure that's what you were going to say. It could be much worse. I bet your in-laws understand that you're a busy family, and they can't expect the home to be spotless when they're dropping in...

They look like over-sized cucumbers and are fairly easy to grow in most parts of the US. You just need to have a long warm season. I thought loofahs were bits of coral from the ocean originally.

I'm a landscaper. Unfortunately, some HOAs don't allow tractors to come in, so I'm looking for a harrow that I can attach to an ATV. Any suggestions? I've been hired by the developer to overhaul the landscaping. I expect that the soil is hard, rocky clay in this new area of the subdivision...

Are you planning to grow your lettuce organically, or are you open to using pesticides? If you live in a hot and humid area, then you might not be able to totally avoid some of the mildews and bacteria that attack plants. To me, it looks like you've got some powdery mildew and bacterial leaf...

One of my landscaping clients uses cornstarch on her pygmy goats when they have a bald spot. I've helped her with it. You just dab a little on until their hair fills in again.
