    Deer deterent

    Its not groundhogs, I can clearly see the tracks & they punch holes through the plastic mulch when they step on it. Besides we don't have groundhogs, we are about 75 miles South of their range.

    pests Anyone got a stinkbug solution in mind for this season?

    I use Neem to control them down here but we have different ones, ours are green stinkbugs and there's a brown version too. You need to set up a schedule in which to spray, I spray every 2 weeks during the tomato season unless I notice a really heavy population. One other thing I have discovered...

    Making sauce in the house with a baby?

    Several years ago, on a cold January night on another forum, We had a big discussion about what utensils wouldn't retain the "cap" after cooking sauces in them, Stainless Steel was #1, porcelain coated was #2, glass #3, Aluminum #4 and CI #5. (with #1 being the least retentive and #5 the most)

    Making sauce in the house with a baby?

    If your using fresh peppers, freeze them before cooking em. Also a paper towel placed on top of the pot between the lid and pot helps catch some of the airborne particles. Wash the pots outside! Now with all that being said, I wouldn't make sauce while my baby was there if it was having that...

    I checked the plots when I arrived home, & there was NO new damage! The 7 foot screen along with the electric fence seems to have done the trick. I just wish it could have stopped the invasion of potato beetles I found this evening, but I do have a surprise for them tomorrow! Potato Beetle, meet...

    Hot Wings

    I will testify to the Creators wing cooking method, I brought my 5 gallon deep frier to Open Fields a couple of years ago and cooked wings almost any way imaginable, the simple Defcon way worked best.(even if there was no Defcon sauce there, just some old run of the mill Trinidad Scorpion...

    Improving a strain

    It's actually rather simple, you grow the plants, find the ones with the characteristics that you desire, save seeds from those, replant, repeat, till you get the best! One other word I would give is to define your priorities, if you want hot, always get the hottest pods, if you want large...

    If I understand the law correctly, you just have to call the wildlife and fisheries and show them the damage and they will allow you to kill the deer eating your crops (as long as you have a valid Mississippi hunting license), but a person has to sleep sometimes!

    They haven't been to open fields have they?? I grew a bunch of GRIN Pimentos De Cherios out one year, one of them (a chinense) looked exactly like a cranberry, so I was calling them Cranberry peppers since I didn't have a proper name for them, gave quite a few away too if I remember right, if...

    smokers Gonna do a minor mod on my offset smoker....

    I have the exact same pit, the first mod I did was to seal the door on the front and sides with 1" angle iron cut to fit and screwed in place, I always use a large aluminum roaster pan (filled with water or apple juice) placed at the firebox entrance to the smoke chamber, AND I use a top burn...

    The guy that was trying to steal your recipe wasn't Harold James was it? He is a "My Space"...

    The guy that was trying to steal your recipe wasn't Harold James was it? He is a "My Space" poser that knows a little about hot sauce & bbq and tries to get your recipes, then claim them as his own.

    Deer deterent

    The deer disappeared for awhile this year, more than likely due to a Florida Panther roaming the woods across from my farm, but since the Mississippi river has risen to the levels it is now we have a influx of deer, hogs, bears, and everything else, looking for high ground and food. I'll know if...

    shopping Why do store bought peppers suck?

    The local Wally world here keeps the large smooth jalapenos year round for $.68 a lb, year round. They do sell a lot of them (about a 1/3 of the price of everyone else) and they usually are fresh looking. I buy them & use in place of bell peppers due the price being cheaper and lack of heat. I...

    That "guy" didn't claim to own a few resturants, a hot sauce factory, & many other things & just happened to be from Ohio too, was he? First name started with a H?

    Well the deer managed to get past the electric fence (I am convinced it is 1 deer with a resistance to electricity, only one set of prints while 6 were in the area)it ate over half of my okra, all the tops of the habanero's, a couple dozen 7 pots, a few bell peppers, a few cayenne, and all the...

    bottles-jars Packaging bottles for mailing/shipping

    I do it a tad different, I wrap the bottle in bubble wrap, put it in a plastic bag and surround the bottle (Inside the bag)with newspaper then twist the bag shut, tape cloased and place in shipping box and fill any excessive space up with styro peanuts or newspaper to keep it from moving around...

    I plant a large area so the hair and coyote urine would be a very interesting control, these deer even come up on my elevated deck and eat my wife's roses! Alabama Jack, you may have touched on one of my problems, I plant okra in the same garden as I do the peppers and tomato's. They always go...
