Guide to Drying and Curing Meat at Home in Detail

Tonight... we had hamburgers from goat meat with tomatos we grew. Wife canned some pickles today, used some of the dill in sourcream to make a sauce... we had squash fritters... batter made with eggs from here.

I love it when a plan comes together.

Augered 10 holes for 10 new posts for expanding my solar arrays today. Not much else going on..... oh yeah, was disconnecting hte auger and connecting the reverse tine tiller and my 80 year old mother just had to put her hand on the three point hitch as I was raising it. She didn't loose a finger , but I'm going to NOT drive the tractor when she's around. This is her 3rd near miss in 3 weeks. Damned if I understand what she's doing. I really don't want to hurt anyone... but you climb under a bushhog deck when someone is driving the tractor.... or your stick you hand in as the hydraulics are raising... or you run after the drag harrow to jump on it while the tractor is moving..... sheesh. She's pretty spry for being near 80 though.

It’s only dumb if it don’t work.

We had blossom rot on our tomatoes because of low calcium in soil. This stuff saved them. I mixed up a few ounces with a gallon of water and applied three times to root of each bush. One gallon spread over several bushes seems to have solved it.

I was expecting a lot more rain out of this tropical system that came through NC, so I put out seed in the small pasture area we just started leasing this year. I've tilled it and worked horse manure compost into the front half of it before planting. I put perennial clover and fescue in as well as some annual cover crop in the way of milo and sorghum. The milo and sorghum were both older seeds, so I dont know how well they will come up. With only about 2 tenths of an inch of rain from the storm, we're still so dry that it may not germinate.

Blossom end rot fast fix.
Foliar Spray: Mix 1–2 tablespoons of calcium nitrate per gallon of water.

Eggshells are fine but are slow acting if it is already present.

To maximize calcium availability for preventing blossom end rot, eggshells should be prepared to increase surface area or dissolved into a water-soluble form. 
Dry Powder Method: Rinse shells, then bake at 200°F (93°C) for 30 minutes to sterilize and dry them. Grind into a fine dust using a blender or food processor.  Apply 1/2 tablespoon to the root ball at planting time or sprinkle around the base of plants. 
Vinegar Solution (Fast-Acting): Combine 1 cup of finely crushed eggshells with 1 cup of white vinegar.  Let the mixture sit for 24 hours until the fizzing stops and shells dissolve.  Dilute with 1 gallon of water and apply 1 quart per plant at the start of the season, or mix 1 tablespoon of the powder with 1 tablespoon of vinegar and dilute in 1 gallon of water for monthly application.
