Out of curiousity, has anyone here had any experiences with bats and bat houses? My husband found a couple of web sites with plans to build them, but these...

Goden dag! We have a bat house in our back yard. We didn't build it, it was here before we moved it. Though I can tell you that we do have bats around here and...
I don't know about bat houses, but we had a bat living under an old futon mattress hanging from the rafters of our barn. Didn't take him long to find it...
... Thanks for that bit of information. Like probably most folks, I too had always assumed that hummingbirds were strictly nectarivorous (is that a real word?...
We like the idea of bats and put up a bat house, but it never attracted any- at the same time we have had them IN the barn, and occasionally in the house. (one...

Thanks to everyone who responded in regard to the bat houses. While we're still going to build a few to see how they do, we'll probably hang a few hummingbird...
... Goden dag! This was kind of my thinking about the bat houses, as well. We live in a suburban area. And while we are literally on the bottom of our ...
As thrilled as we were with that first lazagna after none for 11 months- we've been making cheese every other day, and are getting a bit sick of garlic and...
Ohhhhhhhh I love fresh goat cheese. Yes, you can freeze it although it disappears pretty fast around my place. If the kids know I have it, they're hauling it...
I don't have goats anymore, but did years ago. I made LOTS of ice cream and puddings. Of course the ice cream freezes quite well. I miss my girls......had...

Hailsa All! As I know there are much more experienced gardeners on this list than my husband and I, it seemed the best place to come for composting questions. ...
If you have kept the compost pile "hot" (over 120 in the center) then you should be able to use it in about 3 months from starting. Even a "cold" pile should...
Thank you, Sam. This is the first time I've heard "hot" and "cold" in reference to compost. I think it's probably pretty warm, and that makes sense now, since...
Funny you should mention that. My friend of the big garden and I were discussing last night. He lets the stuff go for about a year. Then he spreads it out...
Hmm depends on what you composted I'd say. Paper and cardboard, both excellent mulches compost much faster. For pest control I can't recommend beneficial...
Most of what we've composted is veggies, fruits, coffee grounds, egg shells... kitchen stuff. Paper towels and a bit of cardboard, too. I stopped composting...
This can also be acomplished with card board over the compost, or even just over your garden area.... worms love it! And the weeds have a hard time making it...
We have enough lady bugs in the area... no need to bring more in... If your dryer lint is from natural fabrics, then its great! cottons, wool and things of...
Thanks, Angel! :oD I'll check with the liquor store. Not too tough, being next door to the studio. ;o) I've heard about the dryer lint being good fire tinder....
