An oven can also be used to dehydrate things (in addition to the sun). Most grills can do some light smoking as well (an aluminum foil pouch full of wood chips placed on the charcoal can work in a pinch). However, the the low temp, long cook isn't something a grill can do well as they...

I've looked at them ...Gravely and BCS both sell currently models in the US. I believe there were a few other brands at one time, but not sure now. Haven't used one, but they seem like they could be useful for some tasks - or areas where a larger machines or a 4 wheel tractor couldn't get into...

As long as it's not flaking off I would think so as -- however, I wouldn't recommend using it in the oven with high moisture foods, or being used for cooking high acid foods as both those things could start undoing the work you've done so far. So it's probably best to wait on those uses until...

yes, they are salvageable as long as they haven't rusted to the point of being structural unsound. First thing to do is remove the rust, and then it can be washed and re-seasoned. Lodge has a guide for restoring rusty cast iron on their website: How to Restore and Season a Rusty Cast Iron...

It can be frozen, or even easier it can just be left in a cool dry place after the skin has hardened. Winter squashes are one of those crop types that are intended to be an easy long storage crop ..... much like the various root crops (e.g. potatoes, onions) More info can be found here: Storing...

Have a Makita split shaft one since I have many other Makita tools. It works well, I usually strap it onto my tractor when mowing so I can trim around signposts and mailboxes when I'm already their mowing. Haven't gotten any of the additional tool heads (power sweeper, pole saw, etc) yet...

I usually either resort to my cookbooks - or searching for the single item recipe, or go to one of my usual recipe sites: food.com, foodnetwork.com, allrecipes.com -- or just add the word "recipe" to whatever item I'm looking to make when searching via google. Some food producers also provide...

Great way to get the trees (& stumps) out if the machine is properly sized for the size of trees that need to be removed. Enough of a size difference in favor of the machine, and it can push over the trees and remove the stumps on it's own, but otherwise the (potentially safer) option would be...

If you aren't already using them, my first thoughts would be raised/shaped beds, and adding in ditches (or even just intentional furrows) to help the water flow out and (potentially) into a holding pond (depending on how much area you're trying to drain). Perhaps an approach similar to what this...

That depends on the farm, since horses are still good for working with cattle, and getting into & out of places that a ATV/UTV can't go. Otherwise, what I've seen is for horses is to be used in competitions, whether shows, racing (to include barrel racing),roping, and other cowboy-related...

I don't disagree, but also think there needs to be a balance between the number of large and small operations as each has it's own risks, as well as benefits. ....and the current situation (beyond just the disease itself) is definitely highlighting that fact - particularly with the economic &...

...and potentially using the wood chips from it for smoking.

Also a decent method of experimenting with different plants, and proximity between different types. I've actually had really good luck in the past with tomatoes, peppers and even butternut squash in containers, just need to use a fairly large containers (e.g. 18"-24" in diameter - 15 & 25...

Potatoes (of at least some varieties) seem to cause blossoming problems for other nightshades (e.g. tomatoes, eggplant, peppers) planted within 10-20 feet of the potatoes. Ran into that a couple years ago, fortunately, everything was in containers so I could move the potatoes away from...

Enough of that and there's not a whole lot of "country" left. The part of the Southeast I live in has some pretty extensive suburban sprawl. The 30+ miles I drive to work has 1-20 acre homes and a few "small" (most under 20 acres) fields pretty much the entire way. Can barely drive a mile in any...

I think part of that is how things are portrayed .... most types of widespread media/entertainment are based in large cities, so they depict what's easiest, cheapest, and closest to them. On the other hand there are younger farmers who are taking advantage of social media to highlight and...

for brown sugar: granulated white sugar mixed with molasses (or maple syrup for a different flavor) at ratio of approximately 1 cup sugar to 1 tablespoon of molasses (which is basically what store bought brown sugar is from my understanding) ...or just plain white granulated sugar without the...

The grass seed should have applications rates in square feet per bag or pounds per 1000 sq. ft. for lawns ....or lbs per acre for pasture application rates. Pasture application rates will usually be much lower rates than the application rate for yards ..... so I tend to treat the two numbers as...

As Wildlife noted, it tends to vary a lot by region - and the piece of equipment (which should include storage information in the manual - if one is available). For me and my equipment "winter storage" is just parking it under cover for roughly three months as it rarely freezes here in North...

I'm sure some will -- for awhile at least. Though it also very likely depends on the nature of the area since in the south-eastern part of the US, there's already some pretty significant suburban sprawl (lots of 1-10 acre households) extending out from larger cities.
