Hi Mica! We net at our Mid Summer a few years ago. I live in Edgewood and talk about BAD soil! In our new garden ( 120x80) I till every year, untill I get the...
Lessee, just before we moved to Colorado Springs so ... 1991. They came over on a Saturday. Once they get to know you, you can set up projects like that with...
... It's not like it's free energy. Coupling the generator to the spindle just adds the generator's resistance to the spindle's, making it all the harder to...
you were mentioning you had caliche in your back yard. If you mean it's like solid rock, you'll want more than 6 inches of soil on top. Rock will heat the...
Hi Chuck, I remember your kindred. We had a great time meeting y'all! That was a good event. Lots of interesting ideas. I have considered container gardening....
Caliche isn't solid rock, it's the type of soil. We have it here in central Tx. 6 - 8 inches of soil on top will be just fine for a raised bed. If you don't...
In India and Africa they sell a small solar led light that also will recharge a cell phone. I think they are available here if anyone knows where please post...
Ah, ok. According to what I was reading about caliche, it was saying it was a sedimentary rock formation. For myself, I have tons of sand in the soil here, so...

Caliche usually sits on top of limestone, but doesn't have to. There's different types of limestone, one which crumbles very easily which they may be...
If I win this ebay auction for a set of antler pieces, I plan to make runes out of them. There are 8 pieces and they are about 2 1/2" to 2 3/4" long and are...
Band saw is quicker but be careful. They'll eat fingers. A jigsaw will work too. Be sure to wear an air mask when cutting bone or antler so you don't...
WEAR A MASK! Bones and teeth hold some nasty stuff in the dust! (I lump antlers in with bones) Antler is a bit "spongy" in the center, so I don't know how...
I too would recommend a dremmel, it is what I use for all of my bone & antler carving. /|\ To: HeathenHomestead@yahoogroups.com From: angelia.r@... ...
I have to agree. They are probably the most useful small Power tools you can have. I recently used mine to nick the seedcases of a number of rare seeds to...
If you're limited in the power tools department or one of those that avoids power tools, you can cut the antler with a hack saw. For carving, I use an exacto...
... I would hesitate to use a bandsaw for that unless it had a fine-tooth blade (like at least 20 teeth per inch), otherwise it might catch and splinter too...
WOW! Thanks everyone for your input! I won the auction (yay) and talked to my father in law about using stuff in his shop... his workshop is bigger than my...
I have really hard water, sediment type crap from our crappy well. I've noticed that the cloths washer is not filling as fast as it used to when I run cold...
Well spring has sprung here and I am itching to get a start on my garden this year. Here's how I go about preparing my garden and feel free to add suggestions...
Pretty much the same. Composting, testing new plants, tossing failures, coddling ones that I really like but should toss;>, etc. I'm lucky I was so busy the...
Got about a month before I can get anything planted outside here. The rule is nothing in the ground 'til Mother's Day. While we've had some nice 70 degree...
While we are planting a small garden at our apartment, our focus is on building our cabin. Waiting on the tax return, a long weekend with some friends, and...
I cut them from mule deer antler bits and woodburned them. They aren't perfect, but I am pretty pleased! Check out the picture in the photos section! Liudfrith...
