Has anyone here used the powdered sugar/baking soda method of killing ants?  I used to do the boric acid/honey long ago, but with three curious cats I had to put it out of their reach, so it was not very effective.  

I checked the tags, and there were a lot of comments in posts about a raw dog comm that no longer exists. I'm looking for recipes, and general guidance. Anyone have any recommendations for me? Websites preferred, but books are good too. My preference is to keep cost down by mixing our own, but recommendations for raw food I can purchase are ( Read more... )

My housemates and I have four chickens in the backyard that have been consistently laying 2-3 eggs a day for the last 2 months since we got them.

So while I've been researching, I ( Read more... )

I give him fish oil everyday, he's on a grain free diet now, I can't afford an allergy test for him so please don't mention that - trust me if I could spend that money on him I would. Right now I've been putting bag balm on ( Read more... )

*sigh* so I'm a sucker... we have taken in a 5-6 week old kitten that my fiance's coworker found in a box in a dumpster behind their job. :-( There were 4, three were immediately placed and 1 came home with us this evening. He is quite possibly one of the cutest things I have seen in a long time. :-) ANYWAY, we took him to the vet this evening ( Read more... )

I am planning on re investing in buckwheat pillows soon. I have loved them in the past, and have just drug my feet about replacing them as friends adopt them(long story) I am also very interested in buckwheat and aroma therapeutic herbal blankets, body pillows, futons and mattress topper options. Ideally I would love a buckwheat and herb filled ( Read more... )
