RE: Cleaning Chickens
I'm thinking a mild shampoo might do the job.
Perhaps something like a tearless baby shampoo?
Best of luck!

RE: Looking For Odor Gun Product

Try Googling something like ENZYME ODOR REMOVER.
I don't know what 'enzymes' are used, but in my years on the farm, these liquids are often the only types of odor removers that really work.
Try to find one that comes as a concentrate. You can make up only as much as you need at any given time. It seems to retain its strength better & who wants to pay for a bunch of water anyway?
Good luck!

RE: Reviews Of Sleep Number Bed
I got soooo sore sleeping on the slab that my DH insists his back needs. After 2 yrs. of sleeping on the couch in self defense, I bought a sleep number bed on eBay @ a quarter of the cost as the sleep number store. We can once again share the same bed in comfort!
Good luck!

PS-RUTH, Please contact me if you want to sell the one bagged up in your basement! Email: igait at hotmail.com

I hated ours. I tried all of the numbers and could not get comfortable. It felt good in the store but you only lay there for a little while. I had back pain in that bed that I'd never had before. It is downstairs in my basement in a big plastic bag. I have a foam one now and like it except it is a little bit warm to sleep on, but I sure feel better. My chiropractor tried a sleep number and said it was terrible, she hated it and got rid of it too. I didn't know that or never would have bought one. ... View related article.

RE: What Is This Plant?
This is velvet leaf & considered a noxious weed here in WI. Whatever you do, do NOT let it go to seed! Yank that bad boy ASAP!
Sunflower seeds come from sunflowers. The seeds your children are eating are a somewhat processed version. They might be de-hulled, roasted & salted or any combo of the above. You can grow, salt & roast these seeds yourself.
It might be a fun family project. Here's a site to get you started: http://www.gardenersnet.com/vegetable/sunflowr.htm
Good luck! ... View related article.

RE: Baby Shower Diaper-Shaped Nut Cups
Hi- I haven't seen the diapers you describe, but I wonder if they might be made from marzipan? It sounds very cute! Regards- Cheryl ... View related article.

RE: Growing Gourds In 5 Gallon Buckets
Hi Barbara,
The major challenge here will be to keep the bucket somewhat cool ie. out of the sun (you don't want to cook the roots), but still provide enough sun for the plant's leaves and fruits.
Why not give it a try? Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Regards,
Cheryl

RE: Free Samples To Benefit Others
Hi Lisa-
I'm in WI too! (Rosendale). Your idea is a very good one. The same would work for animal shelters.

My cousin travels quite a bit for his job. He always saves the unused toiletries (those small soaps, shampoos, mouthwashes, etc.that hotels put in the bathrooms for their guests) to donate to an area battered women's shelter.

RE: Getting Rid of Weeds with Salt
Calling the sheriff is a great idea! They might come out & take care of the hemp problem for you!
As for the thistles; cut them when they have blooms, but before those blooms mature & go to seed. It will take a couple of years to get rid of them, but it's non toxic.
Your horse may or may not eat thistles, but the main issue w/ equines & thistles is that it's not uncommon for horses to get scratches on their eyes from them! A very painful situation requiring a vet's attention.
Best regards-
Cheryl ... View related article.
