Spudtacular! OK…you might find the idea of a “living fence post” more of a novelty with this DIY because I think it’s more a decorative “fence” than a functional barrier (which is the essence of fences). In any event, check out this clever application of what we commonly use with tomatoes! Click on the image […]

DIY: Basic Cheese from 1 Gallon of Milk
1,2,3, CHEESE! Now, I’m a big fan of many cheeses, especially extra sharp cheddar. I haven’t had the nerve to try making my own cheese but this recipe from a PhD sort of gives me mixed messages: Is it, or is it not, easy to make cheese? Judging from the simplicity & brevity of the […]

Okay, I just returned from my punishment of 1,000 lashings for not finishing this series on time…funny thing is that one of the reminder requests was from a link-posting service trying to get a free link-back that they were waiting for the remaining articles.

Today’s DIY comes to us from Christine Hennessey at “The New Me’s” blog. I particularly like the spigot that they were able to attach to the barrel to access the water easily. I’ve also heard of self-tapping spigots for closed-head drums like the ones I use for my drinking water storage. Still gotta find those! […]

Turning Snow into Drinking Water
Today, one of our fans on Facebook asked us the following question: We just got a snow storm last night…Do you know anything about melting the snow and using it as water? Many of us are familiar with the phrase, “Never drink yellow snow”. While that’s an easy truth to remember, the contaminants that we […]
