    Just remember to build your strength up at your pace. I didn't ride my bicycle all winter and it took me a month of very short rides to build back up. It amazes me how fast I lost the muscle strength in my legs last winter. JT

    Sprouting Seeds with NO Mold

    I would try without anything first to see if you actually need to use something to kill mold. I did use peroxide at one point and eventually stopped using anything. My remaining two hens only like chickweed so I don't grow anything for them any more. JT
