No coop yet. So no chickens. I've tried, begged, pleaded. No coop yet. Have coyotes, possums, hawks, crows and raccoons up the yang, so it has to be sturdy. If anyone lives in Orange Va area, let me know if you can help.
I bought a run in shed for a goat and tried turning that into a coop, but...
How tall does a coop need to be? I bought a run-in shed, had it mounted on legs, enclosed. But it's only about 3 ft high, if that. No chickens or run yet. It gets cold here, Virginia
Oh, I didn't imply anyone was being taken advantage of! I was asking about buying chickens that age or waiting until spring to raise some. The difference between waiting three month til they start laying and feeding higher prices protein food, to raising some from chicks, which, I understand...
You go get some roots. I'll tell you how to make a 'cure what ails ya' pot. I'll do that anyway, but you go get some roots. go. now.
I gotta go to tractor supply before they close so I can have a stove pipe. go get some. unless it's too wet from ian, then wait a bit. take armed hubby with you...
just search for it. I use firefox, google if I have too. anytime you want to know medicinal uses, put in: ginseng medicinal uses and start reading. it's a great immune builder, and adaptogen, meaning it goes where it's needed. great for reducing stress...
welllll. I had an herbal skin care business for 29 years. Haven't done any of it since 2019 when I closed the biz. I have moved from the west to the east, zone 7, middle of virginia.
It's taking me time to acclimate to zone 7 from zone 11, Phoenix. I had a smokin garden in phx, struggling now to...
omgosh. research what it looks like and go get you some! I'm going to try growing it in my new to me forest. Go. Get. Some. Or tell me where you live and I'LL come get some.
A local farm sells red sexlink chickens 18 months old. From what I've read, this is molting age. they ALWAYS sell their 18 month old chickens. why should I buy these that will molt for 3 months with no eggs instead of raising chicks in the spring or buying layers in the spring?
sooo, it is now 2 months later. Check it out. the girl has BUCKWHEAT! I have learned I should have planted it a LOT more densely, but I got a late start. I wn't be keeping it for eating, in fact, I think i'll whack it over. it's on the only part of the farm that gets full sun so far, May to...
Thanks for all the ideas. 99% of the stumps are under 3 inches. They were shredded by a bushhog. They aren't big enough to rope and pull out by truck. These days it's like 80% humidity and 93° heat. It doesn't take much to knock me out. I'm gonna rent something that digs.
these stumps are 1-4 inches, shredded. a bushhog went thru and cleared out the area. Now I can't plant anything there bc of the stumps. The roots underground won't burn, no oxygen. Some are pretty big, most are fair to midlin. We have probably 2000 big and small stumps and stumplets. lol
yeah...
wow, I've learned don't try to answer on my phone. I've decided screw the woodchips. I want them for pathways mostly. Rice hulls are actually the best, but I don't live in california anymore.
there is 'free chips' but when you sign up you can get ANYTHING. palm fronds, anything. Most people...
