Do you have the Squarefoot gardening book?
I am gonna plant tomatoes. That it so far.

I rented it from the library & have some good links on the web. There is also a thread in the hobby section that I have been reading. I figure it is worth a try if nothing else but mostly I think it will work well for what I want to plant this year. If everything does well then I will expand next year.

hey guys- what is the formula for using Ivermectin pour on as a dip for chickens- today is clean the coop and chickens day, figured i could dip them in the left overs- as al calls it, swishing them

I plan on two 50 x50 garden spots this year, but I am way behind. I can't plant much of anything until we get the new run fences in place. I have the potatoes planted, and this year I am trying the tire tower method. We are doing a whole chicken/garden rotation plan this year, each garden will be broken down into 8 smaller garden lots that will be planted/harvested/chicken runs throughout the growing season.

Hi ya'll, here's a little humor about the wind:

A man was traveling on the Kansas Turnpike, bucking 30 to 45 m.p.h. crosswinds. At the tollbooth, he asked the attendant, "What do you people do in Kansas when the wind quits?"

The tollbooth attendant didn't miss a beat. She answered, "We take the rocks out of our pockets."

here is a clarification for this post of mine last night,

As you most know my once on here all the time antics have slowed way down even my lurking is at best a every couple of weeks thing....

In life we have seasons and alot more lately I have noticed that I dont have a desire to be on here to yak it up with yall, and its not against anything or anyone in purpose its just where I am at this time.


eddited personally as ms city clucks helped explain where and why I was probably edited for a general inquiry about a certain confusion I was experiencing with our personal Okies thread... for that I thank her for it... but I still believe that my season with BYC is where it is and its not just BYC just my over all computer season of life is coming to a cease and desist kinda order...

Everyone I think you all are great bunch of chicken folks and for that I know I will enjoy the time spent with yall at POOPS and local Auctions but until I do decide to come back please have a wonderful wonderful spring.

tell me about your tire tower method.....sounds interesting.

I am guessing you will use the chickens to fertilize & dig it around for you. I am interested to know how that works out. Will you have temp pens to house them or just put them in there during the day??

You always have something neat going on.

I've not heard of anyone using it as a "dip;" I think that would be waaaay too much. Just take an eye dropper and drop 3-4 drops on bare skin (under wings is a good place) for bantams and a bit more if you're doing large fowl.
