Right after it wakes you up out of a dead sleep at 5 in the morning

Well...that depends on if you want your bamboo to come back year after year! Pretty much any plant can be grown anywhere if you're going to give it the care and conditions it needs. But..bamboo can be grown..depending on the type, from zone 5 on down. Remember, bamboo is found on the snowy peaks...

Controlling non-clumping variaties of bamboo will be as hard or as easy as how you do your set up. Bamboo spreads by means of undergrond runners called rhizomes that go everywhich way, pop up out of the ground and produce what is known as a culm. This is the base of the new bamboo shoot. To stop...

My granny always did it old school...pick up the chicken...pet it a minute to relax it...then grab it by the head...give a violent whipping action to crack the neck and then spun it around and around till the body let loose. Eh...I prefer a hatchet!

If you really wanna....step on up and get on your apron cause this is gonna get messy! You'll need a few things...golf balls, a board..hot glue..LOTS OF PAPER...and finally a small, fine mesh hand strainer from the kitchen. First..go find about a dozen golf balls and hot glue them to a board...

Lol...dig hole...insert seed...cover seed...water...watch. I'm not being sarcastic. It really is just that easy. Nature takes care of about 95 percent of the work for you. All you need to do it decide where that seed goes and provide a little TLC. And the great thing is you can garden about...

Another good way it to coat it with butter...real butter...and let it set for a day or two..wash it off, dry it, reapply...do this several times till the cheese gets a hard rind. Then you can wax it. The butter slows down the drying of the cheese..letting it age at a slower pace and making it a...

The solution is simple...send his mom a text back saying that you simply couldn't save them...their injuries were too severe and they were so small that they gave out. Then simply find a decent home for them. Telling a lie to save a life..or in this case two, is a good thing.

That wasn't fungus, but a mold often called Slime Mold. It isn't harmful to animals..living off dead wood and other organic matter. It is controlled by ensuring that dampness is kept to as low a level as possible. You stated that you touched it and it sent off powder? That was actually the...

Pull up the plants, fruit and all, chop them up and toss them on the compost heap. Then oversow the area with some clover or vetch as a green manure crop. Till that in before fall to reinvigorate the soil.

I have three, a pure-breed english pointer named Jessie, a chi-weenie (yes...I know lol) named Tater and a puppy Saint-Shepard named Thor

Surround your property with heavy gauge electric wire. Set the bottom wire at about 12", the 2nd at around 24" and the top one at 36 inches. This will catch the bear in the legs, snout and provide a chest shot if he/she rears up and tries to climb over. As silly as it may sound...you need to...

My one word of wisdom..when you catch that thing...don't let the tail go up! Skunks have a bone in their tail that closes off the anus...yes..the smell really does come from there lol. If you keep the tail in line with the back...it can't spray.

Horrible flashbacks to getting spurred by my grandma's rooster! Little so-and-so chased me over a half-acre plot when i was a kid and sunk about 1/2" of spur into my calf! We had fried chicken for supper that night hee hee hee.

Yep...practically a Southern tradition down here...setting outside in the afternoon drinking ice tea and listening to the ree-ree-ree-ree sound of the cicadias.
