    Cavy hutch, supplies available #890002

    Asked November 18, 2024, 2:08 PM EST

    We recently had our last cavy pass away, and we are not planning to get more any time soon. We have a hutch and other supplies available for a good home. We live in Portland, and we are willing to meet folks. We loved our guinea pigs, and I would love to see these items go to a good home rather than throwing them away.

    Sourdough Starter #889995

    Asked November 18, 2024, 12:55 PM EST

    Hello! I am having trouble getting a sourdough starter to rise. I’m not sure if elevation plays a role in a sourdough starter, and if it does, what ratios of flour to water should I be using? Also, does drastic swings in temperature affect a rise in sourdough?


    thank you!!

    200 year old orchard #889990

    Asked November 18, 2024, 11:47 AM EST

    We have been trying to take care of a very old mostly apple orchard on the Jennesse Farm 1735. We have owned this for 25 years replacing dead and fallen trees with young fruit trees. We have only sprayed a soap based mixture on the trees Can you recommend an arborist or someone who can guide us. People we had in the past butchered the trees in apparently the wrong season

    Leaves on "flower" beds #889988

    Asked November 18, 2024, 11:26 AM EST

    I live on two acres of mature oak. In fall my husband blows leaves off driveway that end up in our flower beds, which because of shade are mostly ferns, but some ginger, mallow. Is possible for leaves to be too deep, say 6-8" or so for overwintering? Some of the ferns seem to make it through most of the winter. If OK, when in spring should I clean the leaves out? Thanks! Also speaking of mature oak, the acorn situation on our property appears to be dire...must be bad for the deer and squirrels.

    Potting Soil Disposal in Twin Cities #889976

    Asked November 18, 2024, 8:46 AM EST

    Hello, I've been container gardening on decks this year, not aware until very recently that yard waste sites are no longer accepting soil. I have approximately 40-50 # of soil, I was very eager to plant this year. Do you have any recommendations? I can't sanitize and/or dry it and store it for reuse, I'm a renter and don't have space to do that. Thank you very much, Elizabeth
