Nevadans?

Ok, it's on my calender. Now let's hope for great weather!

The link shows a man who did a no-dig garden by laying some manure straight onto his lawn, then several layers of newspaper... potatoes on top of that... about 2 feet of straw on top of that, with lots of manure sprinkled into it. He watered the straw then just let it grow. Hardly had to water at all (though he's probably in a wetter climate than us.) Just reached in and grabbed potatoes and got a HUGE crop.

Cool.

Wouldn't manure straight on a lawn kill it? Well plus all the layers of other stuff. You're right that would be great for me though cause I have all this horse manure from the previous owner and all this extra hay... plus I have chicken manure I can put on top of that.

I may not bother digging at all this next season. The only thing I'm missing is the newspaper which we don't get. If I start collecting ad mailings now that would build up a bit by spring.

I`ll post a pic of what I`ll wear... ( I`m paranoid,a little at least

)

Oh no don't do that! We'll describe what we are going to wear instead. I'll have on a brown "My Pet Makes Me Breakfast" shirt from BYC (you can see pics on the store's page). My husband has the same shirt in Red. Of course you can tell somewhat what we look like by my avatar.

you can just come find me at the show, i have blue/green hair and am hard to miss This way you dont have to post a pic or say your age online.

Oh Aubrey makes a good point! You shouldn't post your age either on a public forum. In fact you shouldn't give out details about yourself at all. You can find us if you'd like.


I had to laugh when I read Missy's comment about the age of the members here on BYC. It dawned on me that I may be the oldest here (mid-fifties)!

Mid fiftys?! I feel old.... jk, of course.
FYI,I am a ginger,so look for a tall red headed person. ( I have a soul, BTW)

I`ve got to share these...

Tall redhead with a frizzled polish. Got it. I'm about 6 foot tall, built like a Viking, with waist-length blonde hair. And my husband just plain looks like a Viking with glasses.

I used to be more careful about what I post on the internet. I think it's my age that's worn that away. I'm 36, WAY past the sensitive age of internet predators, and still below the age of the sugarmama con job. And anyone who spends enough time reading my posts knows it's absolutely pointless to try to rob me or steal my identity.

Holy COW, andalusians are loud! I've been trying to incorporate them with the other chickens, and since they've been roaming around together, today I locked them out of the small coop, hoping they'd go into the big one with the others. Nope, of course they didn't. They roosted on top of the small coop. So I went out to grab them and put them in the big coop. I think they roused the whole neighborhood! If we ever have raccoons get in the coop, I know these two will be a very effective alarm! None of the more bulbous chickens make any kind of a screeching like this.

Thats how my first show went even though i didn't bring any birds
Darn i don't know anybody oh hey look aubrey has to be!

 

[NevadaRon]

That's how I met Aubrey the first time, too, at the poultry swap in Washoe Valley. I knew as soon as I saw her that it had to be her! I just walked over and said "Aubrey?"

What day is the show this year?

First time I met Aubrey, I told her, "I'm 6 ft tall with long blonde hair. I'm hard to miss." She said, "I'm even harder to miss." For sure, she was the only teal-haired person in the building!

 

[aubreynoramarie]

Hahaha you guys are cracking me up!!! Ron when I met you that was the best because we were in a totally random location too! Love it!

 

[sherylreno]

I didn't have any problems seeing Aubrey but then again she came to my house.

I'm like Sunny about putting manure on the lawn and growing potatoes. The scariest part of the whole thing is the newspaper. People don't understand newspaper ink isn't good for people to eat nor grow anything in. It's a hazardous waste so to speak. People who use newspapers usually buy the left over bulk from the newspaper companies. The bulk hasn't been printed on.
