Bay, I am going to have to disagree with you on this. One of the big reasons these fires are so horrid is because of previous fire intervention by man. In the past stopping the fire before it ran it's course encouraged large of amounts of undergrowth and dead limbs, trees, etc. to build up. AKA...

PSA:
If you live near the forest fires that are decimating the Northwest (or anywhere), please be aware that the animals are fleeing the fires and may show up in your yards. The forestry department urges you to bring your animals in at night and let the wild ones pass...
When I still lived in the country I used my wrist-rocket (slingshot) with white marbles. I got proficient enuff to hit the crows in my garden and it sure chased the deer off. I even found some of my "shot" so I could reuse them. I even used to hunt grouse with it. No noise and very...
Will do! I am planning on trying it here at home right away and if I get any sign of it working I will test it up at camp next year, lots of deer, elk and bunnies to deter there.
Sorry 'bout your sweet potato vines Ridgerunner, perhaps it was because they had already got a taste of them?
At the moment I don't live where deer are a problem and I don't let my rabbits run loose but I do have cats digging in my seedling beds and dogs wandering thru leaving their mess behind them. I also have a small varmint eating my 'maters. The link below has some great info on using Irish Spring...
No, unfortunately! They had 3 that size that came from just down the road and shared one with me because they were tired of them... tired? of mushroom steak? is that possible?
I belong to a homesteading group on FB and this plant has really started a debate. Took me about 8 posts to convince them it is NOT a type of nightshade. (I guess here in the Pacific Northwest bittersweet nightshade is called deadly nightshade...:th)
Anyhoo, this is a 15-20' shrubby tree, not...
Got them picked but not pruned. This is after I gave the neighbor about a third of each, her 7 yr. old is my lil' farmhand/helper, I pick and she does "quality control"...no split fruits in this batch thanks to her expert observations. The mushroom also came from the neighbor, trade time, love...
She did exactly what she should have, otherwise she would have been breaking the law and open to a lawsuit. I see that cop is now on Administrative Leave, so now he is sitting at home and still getting paid. That is par for the course with police departments and it SMELLS! Why should taxpayers...
Can I join? I might qualify, although my 'maters are producing, you can barely find them under the tangled mass of plant...:oops:
Today is going to be the first big harvest, I'll get some pruning done then. I hope. :hide

My folks have rentals, they never rent to family ever, nor friends of family unless they can pass a background check. That includes financial statements. Just mentioning background checks will weed out quite a few "problem renters". Make sure there is a clause in the lease about how many...
