FERMENTED FEEDS...anyone using them?

[Finnie]

No, weekly... But when my consumption was down I tried using 1 bucket and it didn't ferment fast enough.

Though I'm a little nervous about the 9 ducklings I got eating me out of house and home once grown. I didn't realize they ate sooo much more than chickens.

Oh, gotcha! Every other week two bucket system.

I'm not sure, but I think fermentation releases CO2, which is a component of air. Oxygen actually makes up a very small percentage of the air we breathe.

That is true. If I remember my grade school science correctly the earth's atmosphere is about 78% nitrogen, the rest primarily oxygen (21%) and other gasses.

Biologically created carbon dioxide is the result of oxygen breaking the carbon-hydrogen bonds of carbohydrates during animal metabolism. It's where we get our energy from. The opposite occurs in plants, which use the energy in sunlight to create the carbohydrates from water and CO2

Now lets get going on ATP and the Krebs cycle. Or the reversal of the O2/CO2 process with plants during the dark... I loved biology and physiology!!! But, it sometimes hurt my brain cell.

Well I tried to make it as elementary as I could. I've noticed that many Americans are not as science saavy as they were when I was young. Maybe it was because my generation was the one that grew up during the Space Race?

You're talking to the geek who used to come home from school and read the encyclopedias for entertainment!!!! Way back in the ancient days, some time after the invention of electricity, but way before computers became household tools. When record player needles got stuck, when one dialed a number... during the time of party lines!!!

I'm not about to admit I know what a party line is .

 

[aart]

during the time of party lines!!!

When 'ringtone' meant how the number and pattern of rings defined who was being called

 

[tigger19687]

Ok Ok, I will admit that I remember only because our vacation house in VT still had that. But the home in MA had only 4 numbers........ and we used the encyclopedia too
shhh

Our party line was ring ring, quickly one after another. If it went ring ring ring, slowly. That was the other household that shared our line. Many times they would quietly pick up their phone after we answered our ring ring and listen to our conversation. GC
Edited to add: How much more private, conversations are in today's world. And nearly every person can have their own number.

LOL, we were 1 ring. killed us 'teenagers' waiting for someone to call us where we had no TV. And all the other houses were rentals or seasonal houses so if it rang more then once it would just ring and ring. Sometimes we would answer to say they are not there this weekend and to call their home home number.

and we used to listen too occationally, if we could get away with it.
