Biography

We manage a 40 acre wildlife area of the Texas Hill Country in the Edwards Plateau at about 3030 ft above sea level. The region is notable for its karst topography and tall rugged hills of limestone. The terrain throughout the region is punctuated by a thin layer of topsoil and a large number of exposed rocks and boulders, making the region very dry and prone to flash flooding. Native vegetation in the region includes various yucca, prickly pear cactus, native grasses and wildflowers. The predominant trees in the region are Ashe Juniper, Shin Oak and Texas Live Oak. Soil is alkaline consisting of caliche and clay.

Same old boring stuff as above except I let the cat out several times until she makes up her mind to go do what she does everyday ...

getting ready to quit etsy (more or less)

craig howard wrote: I'm having a hard time getting my money from etsy.
I have over $94 in etsy from light toys I've sold.
I have a verified account and deposit schedule is daily but the money just sits in there and doesn't go into my account.
What am I doing wrong or need to do to get them to deposit my money into my account?

I am just starting to go back to selling products so I am looking at Etsy, Amazon and Ebay.

I know all about selling on eBay since I used to be a seller.

So reading about how to sell on Etsy, it says that the funds from your sales are deposited directly to your bank account in your currency, no matter how or from where the buyer pays.

Have you set you account up with your bank info?

If you have then I would contact Etsy to see what the problem is.

12 steps to sewing

If I did not know how to sew I would buy some needles and thread, learn to make a knot and try sewing on an old rag or something.

Here is an e-book that will help you learn to mend:

barm for making bread

I like using wild yeast such as Ulla suggests. I have not tried the raisin method of capturing wild yeast.

We have not made beer so we do not have barm though we might try that with the scum off of making wine.

Bone broth - my first attempt

Arthur said, Maybe the bone broth remnants are ok because they have been cooked for so long and gotten to be so soft that the splintering in no longer a danger?

I have read that some folks give bones to their dogs so it depends on what kind of bones. Usually it is chicken or poultry bones that are not okay to give to dogs.

Cooking will soften the bones somewhat though some bones are still not okay to give to dogs as they will still splinter.

It is better to use the bones for biochar or bone meal.

The bone meal can be given to dogs.

Are keyhole gardens really permanent?

I never heard that keyhole gardens are permanent.

To me, the benefits of a keyhole garden is that they are ergonomic so that a keyhole garden requires less bending over.

Keyhole gardens are also sustainable because they recycle kitchen scraps and reduce the need for commercial fertilizers and pesticides.

As things decompose the keyhole gardens tend to require some maintenance by consistently adding kitchen scraps, etc
