I gave up sexing mine...I wait until they shoot out eggs or start to crow! LOL We need to have a chick-sexing class at chicken stock!

We could set one up but I'm not sure that it would go over very well. I don't think many people are going to sit for hours staring at a bird's butt waiting for an egg to drop.

Raz,
I don't blame u. I'm no expert....far from it.....Everybody has an opinion and soil varies just as much. I think trial and error is the way to go.

Oooooooooooooooooh OLIVE!

just an FYI...I have 2 new litters of Hares that were born today

*whispers* I've been making plans/arrangements for a place for Waffles my Belgian office Hare who wears a dark blue sport coat and carries a pocket watch.


I AM NOT CRAZY! Don't look at me like that.

Seriously though. There's a story behind all this. We're *hoping* to build me a new office outside the house this year. I told DH that I was going to get a hare for my office because I like to have a pet around when I'm working. He asked what kind of hare and I said "A Belgian Hare, of course! My favorite kind. I even have a source all lined up." and he immediately responded "So you'll name it Waffles?" Belgian Waffles.... LOL! That man...

So then the next morning he texts me about 10 am and asked how my day was, I texted back that it'd be better if I were in my new office with Waffles my Belgian Office Hare who wears a dark blue sport coat and carries a pocket watch. (a la Alice in Wonderland, because I LOVE it) and he texts back, "Then he could tell you the time." So I said, "Exactly!" to which he then responds, "It'd just be a Hare slow." Again...

Anywhooo... so I'm totally working on it. *Squeeee!*

If you do a soil test, you'll know exactly what macro and micro nutrients you need and how much to apply to get the conditions you need for your particular crop. Takes a lot of the guess work out.

I take the "right plant in the right place" approach for many of my plantings. It helps to have an understanding of soil science and nutrient cycling that takes place in the soil. But you have to know where you are starting from.

My friend works from home has an office pet, her great dane. She refers to him as her "co-worker" in her fb posts. It just cracks me up.

Few people understand the intricacies of a work environment in which your coworkers can oft be found licking their own genitals.

Right now I have three dogs and an obnoxious cat, but the whole office in the home has proven less than ideal so... I'm hopping the simple act of moving it into another building will solve some of the issues. At that point only one of the dogs would really be able to come along so I think it's the perfect place to make that hare I've been coveting happen. Hopefully the construction is do-able this summer.
