Wanna trade for a pod of Honey Locust? :)

Just FReepmail me your address and I’ll send the five seeds without worrying about the stamp cost.

An old farmer told me to get the chuckies you need to dig a slanted hole into a small hill. He used stove pipe but I would think that a large drain pipe capped on the end would be better. Put potato peelings and other gormet foods that they like at the bottom. When they climb in it’s to slick for them to come out. Then you just have to pop them. I plan to try it this spring.

I have gone vertical hydro for my small root crops and container hydro for my large root crops.

No dirt at all!

Works great...my yields are way up and the resources it takes to get there are way down.

Roast chuckie with mashed potatoes, mmm!

Sounds like “How to catch a raccoon in a milk bottle: lash an old glass milk bottle to a tether, place a slice of apple inside. The raccoon will reach inside and grab the apple. His paw will not fit back through the neck. Too stubborn to let go, he’ll be there when you come.”

I googled “raccoon” once. Seems about a hundred years ago, raccoon appeared on the menus of the best eating establishments. Guess Walt Disney changed all that.
