    Need some good tips for vegetable garden

    Almost forgot.. If your water contains chlorine, chloramine or salt, filter the water or collect and use rain water. Chlorine / chloramine can kill any life you will build in your soil and salts are bad for plants.

    Need some good tips for vegetable garden

    Compost (tons of compost) is a good start and the first step. Green manures, cover crops and organic matter is the next step. Thirdly and you have to build up beneficial microbes in the soil. Without the microbes youll be wasting time, money and nutrients. Granular or powdered fertilizers...

    Corn spill

    @lazy gardener Ive seen that study and if I'm not mistaking the earth worms that were used in that study were a dried earth worm somewhat like a earth worm meal. The advantage of the dried earth worms is that the protein content is higher than the live worms.

To say that free ranging poultry provides superior nutrition over anything from a mill would be somewhat...

    Corn spill

    Yes, horses can get Colic and Lamintis from eating to much grain but poultry are totally different. It is highly unlikely that chickens will OD on the nutrients in corn, reason being is that chickens will stop eating when there caloric need is meet. Remember chickens eat to fill a caloric...

    How much pumpkin is too much?

    For me pumpkins are treated like any other treat, the total amount of treats given to the birds is 10% ± of the birds total diet. Pumpkins are right around 15% protein so they will deplete the birds over all protein intake but they are a good source of β-carotene.

    What to feed chickens to lay more eggs.

    Actually, calcium wont make them lay or even lay better. Hen will lay weather they have proper calcium or not, if there not getting proper calcium they just lay soft shell or even no shell eggs but they will continue to lay eggs.

    I heard that people use Apple Cider Vinegar in their chicken water?

    Nice hype BUT not true... There may be traces of vitamins in ACV but not enough to account for anything. There are a few minerals mostly potassium and phosphorous. Also ACV does nothing as a wormer, that is all just a sales pitch.
