    What are your frugal and sustainable tips and tricks?

    ...willow, ash, and cherry. The electric branches saw , we bought last year came in handy. No cable, it has a chargeable battery. We have calibrated* the cherry and the willow. A lot of branches for a wood burner came off. But we don’t even have a chimney. And people in our neighbourhood...

    Cant see it. I quit facebook and twitter bc I don’t like their business approach. All commerce. No consumer protection and spreading too much false news.

    New to raising chickens – what essential supplies and equipment do I need?

    I started in the spring (2014) with 4 , 6 week old chicks. So they didn’t need extra heat anymore. I had a small chicken coop that was used for rabbits before. So i only could keep small bantams if i wanted to use this coop. I had bad luck / was stupid enough to buy from a hobbyist who sold me...

    New to raising chickens – what essential supplies and equipment do I need?

    What is your own perfect picture? How many chickens? What breeds would you like to obtain? Interested in longevity or max eggs? Where do you live? How big is your garden? How much money do you want to spend? Are you handy enough to build a coop? Any known predators where you live (including...

    The authorities figured out that rat poisons do more harm than good. It kills the scavengers and predators too. So if the rats are gone bc of the poison, there are no natural enemies anymore either. And because some rats don’t respond to the poison anymore, they come back and multiply fast with...

    I don’t want my chickens to eat rat. Bc rats are known to spread diseases. My chickens are scavengers and have access to the rat if its on the lawn. Im not sure if they would eat rat but i thought it was wiser not to try. Besides I don’t want a dead rat laying on my lawn anyway 🤢. Chances that...

    this is a rather funny bc i know its just a ‘silly’ imagination :lau (sorry). I took the rats tail to pick it up and kept the filthy creature an arm length away from me. Just had to walk about 15 meters calmly to the bin. If you want to overcome such useless fears, I advise you to practice...

    I’m from another continent/culture and English is not my native language. I completely did not understand it , because I never heard of orbee’s before. And google translate doesn’t know the word. I had to look for it on an online shop. Orbees are coloured gel or waterpearls. Now i can imagine...

    I took a plastic bag and put it around my hand like a glove. To pick it up without touching it. Then walked to the green waste bin* with it and dumped the rat in the bin. The plastic bag went in the plastic waste bin immediately after. I’m not the scary type as long as a small filthy creature...

    No, peppermint here. I zoomed in on our neighbours cat this afternoon. He was chasing something, couldn’t see what. An hour later I was on our lawn to install a cable for the lights in the outdoor Xmas tree. Guess what I found. It was dead. Brown. Had a long naked tail. Was lying on...

    I looked for one 2 years ago. And again tonight. They are much cheaper now, and shippings costs are not a big deal either. But haven’t found the right colour/size yet. My husband prefers the one I made with 2 reed hangers. So i leave it like this, this Xmas.

    Beautifull! Love your star ⭐ on top. I have been looking for something like yours (in shiny silver) in the shops here, but I only found them online with high costs for shipping.

    You are right. I assumed the vulture you mentioned was the European vulture. 🦇
