I agree with Chris. They still need the heat at night, especially since I'm guessing our unusually mild weather is probably going to take a turn for the colder soon(?!) A general rule of thumb is to provide them with supplemental nighttime heat un...
Do my 6 1/2 week old Amricaunas still need a heat lamp at night if they are outside? I have moved them to a new location and I'm not sure if the extesion cord goes that far, but I will figure something out if they need heat.

Kristi, I do use fish emulsion and it is kind of pricey but does seem helpful and I just made my first batch of aerated compost tea and am planning to try to keep some of that going too and see how that does. Don't have a lot of compost right now ...
I sure like using the bottled fish emulsion and mixing with water. I guess it's not the most economical but mine sure lasts a long time plus you can use it with flowers, veges and just about everything.
I generally don't fertilize veges as when p...
Thanks Alice. This looks very interesting. It seems like it's the same concept as making pickles and other fermented veges. I think I'm going to try it!
I was just having fun in the post title. So many people do not like beets so I thought it would be fun to see who does. Easy to grow in the fall and winter season out here not to mention being delicious!
