Uh, another quick question Pat (or anyone I suppose) do I have to have an actual food mill or will a "Magic Bullet" work? :idunno

A-W-E-S-O-M-E!!! I'm going to try this soon!

Oh, I do give them garden goodies all the time, I love watching chicken soccer when I give them cherry tomatoes especially! I just wanted US to eat them too, LOL. Thanks for all the great replies, keep 'em comin'!!!! Pat: How do you "roast" tomatoes? Is it an oven setting? Is it a certain...

I have a huge bush of cherry tomatoes and a huge bush of the yellow/orange cherry tomatoes. I need to do something with them before the gofers get to them and I don't want to waste them to the chickens which is funny and cute, but I'd like to use them. Is there any kind of recipe that I could...

Are you psychic? :rainbow-sun Scary... Just kidding, I have that done (well, not quite 3 feet yet, but another layer will make it so) because I put my chickens in the coop when they were still small enough to squeeze through the holes in the wire. Dang hot California weather! So I'm thinking...

I would prefer a perennial because I'm lazy :P and don't want to have to replant every year, but I was trying look at the positives of having an annual especially an annual edible. But yes, a perennial would be best because it would continue to grow and it would fill in the "ceiling" nicely...

Oh, poo on a stick! Well, back to the drawing board. I do have that list bookmarked, I LOVE BYC! Thank you though (you never know who's read what). As I said, before I make a choice I'll look it up to be sure it's okay. Too bad strawberries don't grow on crawling vines, my babies love...

Ooh, I wanted to do beans, but I thought they might not be able to withstand the girls. I have to check any suggestions against my "Poisonous Plants for Poultry" list, but I'm excited. I may have to wait until next year apparently, but the coop will likely be bigger then anyway so I can wait...

I want to plant something to grow up my chicken coop but it will have to be fairly hardy and fast growing as chickie poos love to over prune! I guess it wasn't a good idea to always throw them some weeds, but they would have had the instinct anyway. Any suggestions for vines? I have morning...

How sweet! I hope I'll have girls one day to do this with! I read somewhere that a ring of mushrooms that make a full circle were called a fairy ring and that you could stand in it and make a wish to the fairies. My mom and I didn't do the garden bit, but after reading "The Borrowers" we...

Can't......resist.....the......pull......Argh, going to the site now to order.... :tools

Waste as in solids is nasty full of bacteria, that's why the few people who are SUPER eco-conscious have composting toilets that incinerate the solid waste to kill nasties. Urine is sterile though (still be careful with meds and if you have diseases though). I love this thread, I have been...

Every time I turn around I find a huge trail of ants and these guys mean BUSINESS!!! I think it's all the same colony as it keeps tracking back to the same area. I've tried spraying with Raid and spreading DE all over but to no avail. They laugh at the Raid and just move their trail over...

Oh, add me to the paranoid list... :hide I would LOVE to get free seeds, plantable cuttings, or whatever to add to my garden (who wouldn't?!) but what are the strings that are attached? There HAS to be a catch, I mean come on, with the state of the economy how can they send out FREE seeds? Do...

:lol: :yuckyuck Well, for the poison ivy/oak you should get a goat! They can eat it and not get sick. Also I've read but I have no idea if it's true, that if you drink the milk of a goat that has been eating various plants that you are allergic to (poison ivy/oak included) that it will lessen...
