You are hysterically funny! Hubs is picking me up a yard of their really black compost. So I should be good to go for this year, and will pile horse manure and the neighbor's cow pies and let it sit. I agree with the 2-10 .

Maybe its great you told me that roses love my clay. Maybe you shouldn't have told me. 15 years ago I had 84 rose bushes. Talk about obsessive. The ones I tossed in the manure pile even grew and made me feel guilty. I just got into daylilies . And whatever would bloom before and after them.

It's great somethings like clay-like possibly raspberries. I love earthworms!

You're not supposed to eat the worms! Leave them in the garden!

If you process your own or get ground from a butcher that does their own perfectly safe.
I don't buy ground from grocery store, usually $5lb, I just get a roast or London broil $2lb and grind it myself.
Now if I cook a steak medium rare it's safe but grind the steak and make a burger it isn't?

I think the issue is that the germs get mixed to the center instead of just the outside? So with steak the outside gets throughly cooked? But I’m not sure. But I imagine grinding it yourself or from a good source would be perfectly safe and I’m sure grinding steak would be too. My brother, on the other hand, does not buy the good or special burger and just buys regular ground burger and he will also get it that way at restaurants too. Technically they’re not really supposed to or allowed to serve it that way here but most of them do anyway or at least as rare as they are allowed haha

I want to shop where you shop!!!!

London broil here is $6-7 a pound and ground beef (the cheap stuff) is $3.50 a pound.

Yeah I was gonna say that sounded pretty cheap for steak haha

Yay!!! Finally!!!

And awesome!!! I need to know what the actual breed was lol

Dang it now I wish I had Oreos or a blizzard or one of those Oreo McFlurrys

McFlurry...that's the name I was trying to remember!

Bouvier des Flandres or Giant Schnauzer...you got close with the GSD.

I'm the odd ball out in this Corona virus lockdown. My life literally hasn't changed in the least. Since my boys all moved out of the house, I shop once a week. We are 30+ miles one way from town. So our town trips include Costco, Walmart, sprouts, the feed store & home depot. Once a month throw tractor supply in for a load of shavings. All my friends are having melt downs because they can't go do anything. They ask me how I cope with being home 24/7. I ask them how they can't! I am much happier to stay on the ranch with the animals than be in town around people. I think that is the country girl in me. I was raised in a barn, never been one for crowds or shopping. Unless it's a tack store...

OMG that’s nasty!!!

There is no such thing as beef too rare for me. Chicken and pork, that's gotta be cooked.

McFlurrys are the best!!! Though I think Dairy Queen does have an Oreo Blizzard too haha those are also good!! I wonder if McDonalds is open today.....

And those are cool breeds too!!! Not sure if they’d be the right breed for me though but I do love them.

Also love Malinois and Beauceron. The other Belgian Shepherd varieties are pretty cool too and Dutch Shepherds.

Shepherds are so badass haha
