Have you ever heard of using the egg shell as a little pot for plants? Just wondering on how that works as I'd like to do that since my property has a lot of termites right now (Miami). Thanks Ray! :)
Making good use of excess eggs ideas: Impossible pies (savoury & sweet), Flans - delish in the summer heat, devilled eggs go down in great volume compared to just boiled, Real Men DO eat Quiche or Impossible Pie, Creme Brulee for those Gourmet nights, yolks not whites in Rascals food, and if all this grows weary you can always make up giant jars of Pickled eggs and sell them to your local beer joint ! Voila !
I have one tip 4 u !!! you already may know this but i heard somwhere if you use the egg shells,crumble them up with a spoon or somthing and put it near your plants.It should brake down into the soil and give the plant lots of nutrients.If you want you could test it on a tomato plant and it should work :)
Thanks, Ray! Im gonna try that finger pollinating thing like u said, hope it works for me like that..Im thinking maybe since there is such a lack of bee problem going on maybe that's what's causing it, but I really would like to try raising some tomatoes indoors...thank u soo much!!
I have a question about your indoor tomatoes...how do the flowers get pollinated indoors for fruiting?? My tomatoes outside right now look good, strong, green, but not even one flower yet..dont know why...
Kokonutbaby1, I pollinate the flowers by hand. It's so amazingly simple too. I just touch each floer with a finger and that's it. It takes about a split second. Don't worry about being precise or anything because insects sure aren't. Each day I just touch each flower and I get almost 100% pollination rate.
I have no idea why your tomatoes aren't flowering yet. All I can advise is to wait.
if you get to many eggs think about the food banks around that might like to have some. My mom and dad would take truck loads of eggs and veggies to town for the homeless. church's always know family's in need to!
From what I've read, it's a matter of light hours and calcium. They need a calcium source to build the shells, and the light hours dictate if they'll lay. I have two compact flourescent 100 watt bulbs inside the coup on a timer because they're in the coop 24 hours a day and I wanted to simulate daytime so they wouldn't be in total darkness. lol
Some folks dont realize how few chickens it takes to produce enough eggs to feed a whole family. Have you ever considered growing a few rows of field corn to feed them? Enjoyed the video...... Donald
I am getting into gathering materials to make a small hydroponics setup to start my garden before spring. I keep my place cold for personal conditioning purposes. This kind of enviroment is not optimum for growing plants. I need to make a small enclosure with a NFT hydro apparatus, heat and venting with enough room for a gaggle of seedlings. I went to school for this stuff for years. It's time to use it. I give most of my eggs away and eat the rest fried with veggies. I'll learn to bake cake.
If I wre you, I would chop up some of them tomatoes and make an omelet. You can even add bacon strips or the dried bacon pellets. I don't add milk to my omelets. When milk is added, it takes from the egg flavour....true, or not? LOL.
btw, try some unripe tomatoes. The Green tomatoes covered in flour can make a good snack (you MUST cook them).
I rarely add milk to scrambled eggs or omlettes. Milk makes them fluffier, but yeah it does tend to tone down the egg flavor as far as I'm concerned. I made fried green tomatoes a couple times but for some reason mine come out soggy. Maybe I need to use a hotter grease. So what's your specialty? Everyone has a specialty.
I add salt. I find the salt crisps them up a bit more.
I also dry the sliced tomato just before you put it in the batter. You are better off to leave it damp for the flour, but get most of the water off. You can also try the "spam" non stick spray. The oil makes it too greasy and that is probably the problem.
Can you send some of them eggs over here? I have the omegas, but they probably taste like crap compared to the REALLY fresh ones XD
Of course I still have the PEZ. Someday you're gonna want them bad enough to tell me where to send them. Until then I shall nibble a package here and there and kill the little plastic dispensers. :)
Well DUH! If you did, you're just BEGGING for every retard on Youtube to be sending you their fingernails and dead puppies.
I have a really swell idea. How about (or as you Canucks say it.....a-boot)you email me if you really want them sent, k? I can only send them via mail, cuz I have nooooo idea how to send them any other way across the border.
You shoulda seen the eggs I had when I raised geese! They were HUGE dinosaur-looking eggs! I felt like Wilma Flintstone when I cracked them into a skillet. :)
So when I get my butt kicked by the male turkey........and I'm bruised, limping and falling backwards towards the porch and hoping to god that he doesn't eat my liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti....fffftttt, that reminds you of being on the farm? LOL

I live in Texas, and when it starts getting cold, my chickens stop laying....
You think it is because you feed them eggs?
Really - I want my chickens to lay in the winter too.
Thanks for checking out my Self Watering Container.
