I can only see a reason to use them if you've got bad cell phone reception in your area. I'm sure places like that still exist.

That is hilarious, @GrowPro! I've been fooled by silk flowers before, so don't feel too bad. Thanks for letting us know. I was curious about it too.

Yes! Thank you so much! My friend cut her hen's nails and got too close to the quick. I couldn't remember the name of that stick that would help stop the bleeding. I'll let her know. Thanks again, RichZ!

I think you need to get a permit from the FNS first. I believe you can apply online. You'll also need the proper equipment to process the payment, but it's fairly easy and affordable if you're selling at a farmers market. Here's some info about that.

That sounds like a cozy way to spend the evening. Add smores and I'd say it's the perfect.plan. I hope you guys have a lovely time.

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 don't mind at all, Almost Eden. I think it's sweet of you to include me. @GrowPro, it could be a blood lily. Yes, they're bulbs, but when you have several of them together, they look like a bush. It could also be wisteria, which is beautiful, but also on the invasive list in many states...

I think most people do some intercropping at home, but they just don't think of that way. I intercropped some of my flowers so that the more expensive flowers are protected by the cheaper flowers. I also usually plant shallow-rooted vegetables with deep-rooted vegetables to make the most of my...

Our leaves have started changing a bit too, but I think it's mostly due to the lack of rain in California. It's been dreadfully hot this summer, so I say bring on fall.

I use cheap cat food, like Purina's Cat Chow, as treats. My cats love Temptations, but they're not exactly healthy for them and they cost a ton if you use a lot. Cat Chow is somewhat healthier, and my cats love it almost as much as Temptations. So I made the switch. They still eat their...

I still use an 18-volt Milwaukee that I bought years ago. It's somewhat heavier than what you can find on the market today, but this thing is a beast! The battery still lasts for ages. Look into their line of drills.

From what I've seen on the news, these men and women are putting their lives at risk. I'm glad to hear that they're getting pay bump as needed.

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?

My grandfather had one. He felt like it was the tractor's proper burial ground after all those years of service. He couldn't bear to scrap it and wouldn't have gotten much for it anyway. So, whenever I see a tractor sitting out like that, I figure there's a story behind it.

Homemade ice cream is my favorite treat when it gets hot. I've tried to make popsicles, but they never come out right. They're more like a brick of flavored ice than anything else. I've never found a great recipe for popsicles.

I go through a lot of them too, but I always have more supplies coming in from other nurseries and labs. If you buy them in bulk, the costs should be fairly negligible in the grand scheme of things. If I were you, I would just factor in the cost of supplies when you're setting your prices next...

I'm glad to hear about this! It's about time that our government started focusing on this problem! There are rural places in Alabama, where the water is contaminated with hookworms. I read about it in Modern Farmer magazine.

If you feel comfortable identifying the proper plants, you could always pick your own. Just don't pick dandelions and other edibles from a site that could be contaminated. Picking them from your yard is fine, but picking them from the side of the road is not. You should be able to forage...
