Horse (and People) Deworming

· ·

I’ve been using #silverliningherbs equine dewormer for several years now and LOVE the product (it’s super easy to use in addition to being safe for them). I also love that they send out a deworming schedule I can keep in the feed room as a reminder. I also love that they send out this schedule because it helps me plan when I’m going to start my 2-3 times a year parasite cleanse for my human self. It takes a little prepping to get my personal house in order beforehand. Making sure the digestive system is in strong working order, supporting liver function, and then the actual parasite cleanse. Have you ever done one?
 
Here’s a great reference for best practice start date of the actual parasite cleanse. Plan on 4-6 weeks of gut/liver love beforehand and during 😉.
 
We North Americans are a snotty bunch…. thinking parasites are only an issue in 3rd world countries. No so. We’re just as 🪱🦠wormy!….. maybe even moreso because it’s an often neglected aspect of health.

Plain Values magazine (available in print 🥰for those of us who love paper in hand while reading) delivers some good wisdom on balancing humility with the pride of self sufficiency. We need community ya’ll. God designed us to need one another…. and resisting community affects mental health. (You can see the evidence of this by the escalation of mental health issues following lockdowns. ).
 
Homesteading is very rewarding especially when you find your community. Many hands make for lighter work! Some of the most beautiful memories I have when we first began homesteading in 1995 are the occasions friends and family came out to help us with some really big projects. It was humbling to be on the receiving end…. something Charlie and I are not used to. 🙏❤️

Happy National Opossum Day!

· ·

If you would have told me we’d fall in love with a ‘possum a year ago, I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have believed you.
Yet here we are….. celebrating one of the most maligned creatures God ever made!
They truly are amazing little mammals!
 

Pest Control – DIY

· ·

As dry as it’s been, the drought conditions here have not had an effect on the flying pest population. The vinegar trick is amazing. It works! I’m going to try these other traps too. What have you found that works well for you… getting rid of pests in a healthy manner?

Keep Your Garden Safe

· ·

Good word this morning. Remember, the government is supposed to be working for us, not the other way around.

⚠️ ALERT – the USDA is trying to entice you to REGISTER YOUR GARDEN!
Their “people’s garden” program is NOT your grandma’s victory garden brochure. It is—in their own words—creating a registry and map of small-scale food production.
🚫 DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REGISTER YOUR GARDEN. No matter what benefits or enticements are offered.

“The USDA expanding its People’s Garden Initiative to include eligible gardens nationwide!
“School gardens, community gardens, urban farms, and small-scale agriculture projects in rural, suburban and urban areas can be recognized as a “People’s Garden” if they register on the USDA website and meet criteria including benefiting the community, working collaboratively, incorporating conservation practices and educating the public. Affiliate People’s Garden locations will be indicated on a map on the USDA website, featured in USDA communications, and provided with a People’s Garden sign.
Thank you #IceAgeFarmer for bringing awareness to this.
First they want you to register your garden!! Next they will start a farmer census for your harvests all in promise to track some #tomatoflu or some other BS outbreak by assuring you they’re the ones keeping you “safe” and then they will enforce a taxation for the volume food you grew for yourself.
