Peace, Love, and Preparedness
[popunder-popup id=”1″] I was exchanging emails with what has turned out to be my latest advertiser, CampingSurvival.com. While finishing a reply, I signed off in my typical fashion, “Peace, db”, and laughed to myself about how much of a hippie I sound like. Not that it is a bad thing, but I am a far […]
Meat Rabbit Q&A
Check out my Free Rabbit Breeding Calendar I receive a lot of emails every day regarding the stuff I write about. While I like to help out, I don’t consider myself an expert, just someone that, Like Edison, has already learned a few ways things DON’T work. So in spreading my personal knowledge, I thought […]
Learning Wild Edibles
Today’s article was brought to you by the generous folks over at Hides.com. Go check out their great line of “Multifunction Eyewear Necessities”, and tell them FloridaHillbilly sent you! I was working with BlueTang today, and at the location where we were working, there was some Blue Porterweed growing. Always looking to one-up each other, […]

Home Canning – Sources for Items to Can
Not everyone has an acre of garden beds producing bushels of produce daily, or pastures for cows, goats, pigs or any other living protein source. Some of use are living in town with barely enough room for a small bed of basil… Where do we find quality foods to preserve via canning? Honestly, there are […]
Mailbag May 2, 2013 Quail vs Ducks or Chickens
Yesterday, I received a comment from a regular reader, Darren from Green Change. com, and I thought I should expand on my reasoning. “Just a quick comment to thank you for all your quail articles. I didn’t think quail were worth messing about with (small eggs and little fiddly bodies for meat!), but you’ve managed […]
Quail Week Day 2 – Building and Using an Incubator
Day two in Quail Week in celebration of finally getting my quail setup mostly organized, and at least moving forward. Today we talk about incubators, hows and whys, commercial and DIY options, how I made mine, and the results I’ve had with it. Incubators are merely simulated mothers, offering the proper amount of heat and […]
Urbanstead Update March 2013
It’s been a while so I thought I’d update whats going on in my urban backyard “farm”. I like to write these out from time to time to show you what I’ve accomplished, as well as to track where I’ve been. My memory isn’t what it used to be, so this works well as a […]
