Wool mites and rabbit health
My sweet sunshine has wool mites. Her angora wool went from spectacular to shabby. She is also nervous, but that might also have to do with her biting a rabbit Judge in the thumb (I cried more than the judge, although the ladies were saying this judge had it coming, being overly rough). My poor baby is in pain I think from…

How many pots and pans are too many?
I am downsizing and sorting out kitchen cupboards. When we had a huge family and many dinners we had to have a lot of pots and pans to serve the troops. Now it's just me and we don't have family gathering anymore so I have been rooting through cabinets getting rid of excess. I may occasionally have someone over, but it…

$1 Million per Second - wow! SVB Bank Run - this could get way out of control
So if you haven't been paying attention - Silicon Valley Bank went into receivership on Friday. And what instigated it was a massive breathtaking "run on the bank" flash crash, modern electronic banking style. Silicon Valley Bank's customers withdrew $42 billion from their accounts on Thursday. That's $4.2 billion an hour,…

Experiment with structured water on peas - amazing!
OK, so I attended a workshop with Dr. Andrew Kaufman all about water. Really interesting.. And I've been reading Pollacks book on "The Forth Phase of Water".

2023 Dirty dozen released
It was mentioned in another discussion that I read that one person was surprised that corn was on the safe list. Someone said they thought it was on the list "because it is GMO and therefore less pesticides are used on GMO." This is generally untrue, but a widely spread comment to try to make GMO sound safer in some…

Smoothies w/bone broth & local foods (ie not bananas
I have been following Sally Fallon for a long time. She is the founder of the Westin A.

The Power of Canning
Garlic has a well-deserved reputation for being easy to grow, easy to harvest, and easy to use. Many gardening books describe it as the first vegetable in which you can become self-sufficient. Just grow somewhat more than you need and replant some of the cloves each year. But the one area of garlic where I used to struggle…

Harvesting the big pig (graphic, pictures)
We butchered our large pig yesterday. It was way overdue, but somehow, he was big & still reasonably lean. There is plenty enough fat, but not copious amounts. He is perfect! We expect 150 lb total meat from him. We finish up today with cutting up the last front quarter, and making our family recipes for Mennonite farmer…

Any Gardeners in Zone 4 (9,500 feet up)?
Heard Marjory on “Coast to Coast” tonight and got so excited to join the forum! I won’t say I’m an experienced gardener but I’ve had great success every time I’ve tried! We just build a geodome here on the peaks of the Rocky’s. Our last frost to first frost is typically 60-90 days 🤣 but the geodome should extend that…

Food shortages in 2023?
I am seeing reports that the harvest in Argentina right now is as much as 30% below normal, due mainly to drought. Other reports say that inputs (fertilizer, phosphate, etc.) will be short because Russia is normally one of the major producers, and they will not be able to export much. This will have ripple effects on…
