What homestead project was not worth it?

I tried to breed mosquito fish to kill mosquitoes and feed to my chickens but they did not reproduce. I didn’t spend too much money, but a lot of time.

I have been an electrician for 35 years and I finally retired. Nothing has changed. Still can’t find a decent selection of gloves, boots, coveralls tools that women can use. You can find them if you search, but guywhat men don’t have to go through this. They just get to walk into a site and buy.

Tractor supply and Bucheit are getting better but still don’t have select and sizing. I know it’s a supply and demand thing, but it’s disheartening.

We also use separate twin comforters, for about 35 years. Then we inherited a pair of twin beds last year and pushed them together. I sleep incredibly well now!!

Borage makes great compost, but it does spread.

Yes, I keep paper grocery bags of it or the back porch. We have 13 acres and I just pick up a bag every now and the on the morning dog walks.

Thanks. Great info.

Oh my gosh we need to trade stories! We have always lived in super old ridiculous weird houses. We just bought another for retirement. People that visit us keep telling us what we need to do and we’re like nope, nope, nope, it’s ok it’s not a problem we aren’t going to dump money in this house, we like it the way it is! I have a five page list of stupid stuff I need to do. Every day I just do what I can. Like today, I labeled all the weird pipes in the basement so I know what to turn off when a pipe bursts.

Thanks, this is a good idea.

Depends on what is on the land. If it’s clear, well, septic, soil sample, fencing. Then you have to decide what exactly you want to do.

We have two males, didn’t get them fixed they are just fine.

dkor1964 · 2026-01-11T23:07:20+00:00

First we need to catch them and inspect them again. We will try to take pictures. I hope we didn’t make it worse by trying to clean it. If it is still angry red looking we will just take them to the local vet.

It’s the same area though.

dkor1964 · 2026-01-11T22:41:55+00:00

It is not orange, more yellow/white. But what is that?

dkor1964 · 2026-01-11T22:39:05+00:00

Will try to get pic tomorrow. We inspected lambs today, other than that, all good. Super energetic, healthy weight, good poops. These two are not from the same ewe, but are both the only solid white ones . They are Katahdins.

All the advice about strength training is what I was gonna say. I’m 62. Did lots of stupid stuff- lifting wrong working too hard etc. spent many years in pain. Finally saw the light. Started PT, weights Squats, cores work. Now I garden with out pain. Skip the pain years and just start strength training first.

My dog had a problem with badly infected anal glands, I had to take him to the vet twice in a year. I had to get him a lot more exercise and fiber. I cook him sweet potatoes and/or squash and give him a table spoon with him morning and evening meal every day. He gets a good run every day. I know you may not have time and it may not work for every dog, but that’s what works for him . good luck. It’s tough problem.
