The link above talks about how pregnant sheep sheared more often had lower cotisol levels (which they took to mean the sheep were less stressed and in better condition).

The link above talks about how fern (Adiantum capillus-veneris) leaf powder improves immunity and growth of common carp. I wonder if they'll put it in fish food for goldfish, too.

I blended up a quart of home-canned stewed tomatoes from 2019 (including all the juice, skin, and seeds), with the following things: the equivalent of one or two bay leaves, a liberal amount of basil, extra virgin olive oil, granulate...read more

We had beef pot roast, along with many of the usual Thanksgiving items, this year. It was good. We haven't been going to the grocery store, due to the COVID-19 virus; so, that's why we didn't have turkey. Well, I had turkey Stove Top stuffing; so, maybe I ate some turkey?

At long last, here are some seeds rated for zones 4 through 9, and they're very inexpensive, too! I've never shopped with this vendor (so, I can't say what it's like).

So, I've decided to begin the process of trying to make homemade egg-free mayonnaise. I read that you need twice as much oil as milk. So, I put ¼ cup of evaporated milk and ½ cup of avocado oil in a blender and blended for a good while. No emulsification. I looked up natural emulsifiers and disc...read more

What if dinosaurs primarily lived in the ocean? Has anyone done any deep sea archeology, lately? The article doesn't speculate about that.

I've been thinking for a long time now that powdered food is extremely useful. Here are some of my reasons:
• They take up very little space for how much nutrition, flavor, or usefulness they offer.
• They last a long time (without refrigeration, canning, or freezing).
• They require less c...read more

Apparently, at least some commercial cypress mulch has been shown that it is not 100% cypress, if there is any cypress in it at all.

I'm dehydrating a few bags of small limes (cut into eight slices each; skins, seeds, and all), and some tomatoes, currently. I think they're key limes, but I could be wrong. I plan to see if I can powder them. I wanted to dehydrate the peels separately, but they're very difficult to separate fro...read more

So, I was thinking today, it's pretty easy to dehydrate and powder leaves. Some leaves have a lot of protein (amaranth leaves, for instance). Seeds can be pretty difficult to harvest, and fruits take longer to dehydrate. So, why not powder lots of leaves?
I'm considering powdering our edible ...read more

I figured common amaranth would have seeds just like the cultivated grain amaranths, since the plants look so much the same—but no. We harvested some the other day, and the seeds were like tiny black specks. I wasn't expecting them to be so small, neither did I expect them to be black (there's n...read more

I don't currently know the answer, nor do I have seed counts, but in general, these fruits have a lot of seeds:

• Muskmelons (I've never met a muskmelon with few seeds. They are reliably seedy, in my exper...read more
