  • Have you ever harvested walnuts? It sucks to get any sort of quantity put together.

    First you have to hull them, this will leave your fingers stained black for weeks even with gloves.

    Then you have to dry them for a season, which involves either keeping the squirrels away constantly or a bucket taking up space in your house for an entire season.

    And finally you have to shell them, which is not an easy or repeatable process. Doing it at home by hand will lead to a nice powder of shell and nut that you have to separate before you can eat a single walnut.

    Forget all that. If someone wants to do that as a job so that I can buy them for 10 dollars/lb bagged in the store then be my guest.

    Infinite amount of corn and space. What animal to raise?

    Hello,

    I am attempting to raise as much of my family's diet on food we raise ourself on our family farm. We grow corn and if we wanted to we could store an infinite amount of ground corn that falls out of our machinery every year.

    We already have chickens for eggs and meat. Space is not an issue.

    What animal should we get that can be fed with corn and grass to supplement our chicken flock? I'm willing to entertain all warm blooded options.

  • Because "sterile" exotics often have a seed production rate at >0% in the best scenarios.
    Why introduce an invasive species into the environment when there are plenty of natives that will do the trick? Stop being so lax with noxious weed contamination risks.

  • Coworker says smashing Japanese beetles will attract more?

    Hello,

    I recently had a coworker mention, " You can't just smash Japanese beetles because it will only attract more through a pheromone they release when dying."

    Is this actually a thing or is he misremembering some old gossip's tale?

    Thanks, DrHugsyMcFur
