I can't remember the name of the product for the life of me. It helps stop the bleeding should you accidentally nick an animal. It's also safe for humans. I'm not talking about that powder stuff. I find it messy and don't believe it works as well as the other product. Do you guys know what...

My husband likes to watch paranormal shows, so I watch them too, but they sometimes creep me out. I believe the shows are fake, but I'm not ready to rule out the possibility of paranormal activity being real to some degree. I don't believe in little green men, or Bigfoot, or anything like...

I produced my first crop of organic tomatoes this year, and it's definitely been a learning experience. One of the things I've learned is that the fruit will taste sweeter if you water the plant less. That's my tip. Let's hear yours.

The topic about old tractors really hit me a strong dose of nostalgia. If you name yours, what have you called them over the years? My grandfather called his Bucky, Bucky 1, Bucky 2, and on. I haven't named my tractor, but I call my golf carts Statler and Waldorf. You?

There's a popular stall at the farmers market that sells locally foraged salads. They have a limited amount which sell out fast, so I haven't been able to snag one yet to see what's in it. I figure it probably contains dandelion greens since those are easily obtained. What else do you expect...

It's been a blazing hot summer with record temps so far. Thanks to the heat, I have chickens that are laying fewer eggs and goats that are making less milk. Please share some tips for keeping livestock cool during a brutal heatwave.

Have you guys heard of the Ark of Taste? It's an organization that encourages growers to plant varieties that are declining to the point that they might disappear altogether. If that happens, it means we'll never experience that particular flavor again. They focus on unique flavors too, so...

Wedding season is slowly gaining steam here, which is fantastic. I have a fair number of brides who are requesting cattails for their wedding bouquets and decorations. And since I cut back on my growing operation because I didn't anticipate this economic surge, I don't actually have any...

What exactly does a lawn edger do that a weed eater can't do? My brother-in-law keeps telling me that I need one, but it sounds just like a weed eater to me, except it's bigger.

Each state, county, city, and even the stores themselves might have their own rules about masking and vaccination requirements. We're expected to know these rules as business owners, which would be fair, except they change on a dime. Is it troublesome for the entire industry or is it only...

I know that donkeys shouldn't be kept alone. I agreed to house the donkey temporarily for two months. If I was keeping him, I'd get another donkey for companionship. I don't have cows, horses, mules, or anything like that. I raise fowl and goats. I figure I will keep the donkey in the goat...

household scissors or florist shears. I'd say I've bought at least eight of each this year alone. They're around here somewhere. What do you guys have in abundance, but can never find when you need it?

We love popcorn in this house, so I've tried to make it healthier since we eat so much of it. I've stopped buying microwave popcorn since it's not as healthy as what you can make with kernels on the stove. However, my popcorn ends up tasting like oil which is gross. Is there a way to do it...

My goats were recruited for goat yoga which is popular in my Californian city. They loved working, but COVID-19 wrecked it. They are getting bored. What jobs can they do around a farm. I have chickens and goats for livestock. I grow flowers and plants commercially and I have a home garden...

Which games do you guys enjoy playing on your tablets? I have an iPad and an Amazon Fire tablet, but I mostly use them for reading. I'm looking to add some quick games that I can play while I'm waiting for something else to start or finish. Any suggestions? I already know that I don't like...

Which farm raised animal is the easiest when it comes to waste management? It's got to be rabbits, right? That was my answer when asked. They're doing career day via webcam here. I was expecting to talk about plants, but the kids wanted to talk about animals and their manure. Go figure.

I'm in SoCal. Which of the tomato plant varieties is an early producer as a commercial crop? Do you think it's possible to grow an acre of tomatoes without using any pesticides? I know there are organic growers out there, but I'm not sure about the degree of difficulty involved.

It's best to use a floral preservative, but if you don't have any on hand, then you can use Sprite as a substitute. The carbonation, sugar, and citric base will help your table flowers last longer. Just remember that a little Sprite goes a long way.

I have two golf carts that I use for my business and both have wonky batteries. I bought them used, so maybe that's why. Do you know where I can get a good deal on a new battery? Also, do you know how to tell whether the problem is the battery or whether something is just running it down?

Just wanted to wish everyone here a Happy Holiday! I know it probably looks different for many people this year, but try to enjoy what you can, when you can. Well, at least that's my plan.
