Join us here at Ozarks Homestead and Farm as we try to become more self sufficient in this ever changing and ever crazy world.
We believe our food is becoming more toxic to us We believe our Government can not help in a real emergency We believe that true freedom and peace come with self sufficiency
I will try your method. My recipe has not worked that I can tell a difference on my big lot- I have big ones, little ones, Black ones & reddish brown ones- everywhere. Cannot stand in one spot long for they crawl up my shoes and bite me. I have been using apple juice & bits of waffle with borax in bottles or soda cans placed on their side UNDER pots with a brick ontop. I see ants in and around the bait. My dog is small and not outside much so not too worried about that. Borax is reported to be toxic to all insects at any dose- but it is bitter and the trick is getting them to take it to the nest and share it with their friends. Also, making the liquid too sweet will attract bees which I do not wanna do- I will use molasses or jam in place of Honey for that reason. Also using the apple juice method grows mold pretty quick so I have to start over- and I set up like 14 stations around our home outside. Waffle is reported to be more attractive for the baby ants. The Extension service in my area said Grits, Crm of Wheat etc serves at food not poison(?).
This is NOT what you want, this is NOT boric acid, it is actually a salt, sodium oxygen and boron, if you want an effective killer order actual Boric ACID powder
You'll be dreaming of socialism when you're old and decrepit you're imposing on your family to take care of you when they don't want to because you avoided paying taxes your whole life and you have nothing because social programs are based on how much you paid in if you avoided taxes your whole life you will get nothing I have relatives like that now they're just a bunch of whiners turns out it's not an entitlement program
THANKS 👍👍...I like the short swrewdriver trick...that way have something to grab to twist it around...nail is ok but small & dosent have handle to grab... Hands arent what they use to be
- How many days before the fermented feed will be ready for use? - how to calculate how much feed they eat in a day and how to determine the quantity to ferment daily? - can I can feed my day old with fermented feed? - Can start using fermented feed from 2weeks?
Maybe if you showed any results a week later (less ants) might have help showed that this mix worked, but this video showed absolutely nothing. You could had just put honey (or anything) in the jars and the ants would still be crawling on them .
This is so fragmented. If you want to compare by weight, you have the same weigth of food, one adds a lot of weight of water so you weight it at the start and finish and want to go by ratio of the food eaten (11.2 pounds strating and 3.4lbs finished, if you wanted to discount all the food on the ground, you'd estimate that) and then do the math -> (3.4+ground pellet estimate)/11.2 lbs to get the ratio of food eaten dry. Then if you want to do this properly, don't skimp on the second way you are clearly hoping to see a benefit with, but regardless, you'd take the end of day weight (ideally same time, chickens don't stop eating at 7pm) and devide that leftover weight by the starting total to get teh ratio. Eating more weight of fermented food is very expectable since there is 3 x more weight with. the same amount of food.
There was a study done about incubators. You need to have a separate thermometer to ensure that it's putting out the right. Temperature. Many of them were really 2° below 98°.
Wooha! I never knew I have a goldmine! Black Soldier Fly larvae is ridiculously easy to farm for free with stuff like meat scraps, dead birds, roadkill, etc. You can easily make a trap for flies to lay their eggs in, and then get trapped themselves, feeding the chicken both FRESH living larvae and dead flies in droves! Plus you get rid of flies!
We just finished our first batch of chicks, and did a fully dry hatch. We experienced a little hatching difficulty, probably due to low humidity. I believe next time we will try the hybrid method
I agree I’ve been fermenting my food for years now and that is not mold That is yeast you have to keep it. Stir twice a day and also keep water on top so it does not dry out which will give it mode but that is normal.
