Micro-farming for fresh food year round. Skip to primary content. When I stated my aquaponics journey, I simply wanted simply to create an inexpensive, DIY system that would fit in a basement. The idea of “3×5” aquaponics was that this inexpensive DIY system could fit in a 3-foot by 5-foot space. My 365 Aquaponics is where I blog about my journey to create an outdoor aquaponics system that can grow food 365 days a year in the Northeastern United States. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

http://www.theurgetopreserve.com/2013/04/outdoor-kitchen-please.html
Wednesday, April 17, 2013. Outdoor Kitchen, Please. Sunset Magazine Demonstration Kitchen. Here in California, outdoor kitchens have been all the rage for many years. You could pick up just about any upscale home and garden magazine, and there was an article with pictures of the most awesome outdoor kitchen spaces. Yes, awesome, and expensive, and completely over the top! Not what I have in mind! I have what is called a rocket stove from a company called Stove-Tec. Stove-Tec Wood and Charcoal Fuel Stoves.

The Urge To Preserve - Musings of a life long learner: Hazards of Citrus in Zone 9a
http://www.theurgetopreserve.com/2012/09/hazards-of-citrus-in-zone-9a.html
Saturday, September 15, 2012. Hazards of Citrus in Zone 9a. Here begins my tale of woe. Last winter I noticed that one of the kumquats started to look all wilty and sad. And, very sad it was due to an infestation of a nasty bug that loves citrus! After an internet search and much digging I discovered that the nasty bug had a name, Cottony Cushion Scale, scientific name Icerya purchasi. From the University of California Intregreted Pest Management (UCIPM) website I learned:. Gross but apparently effective!

The Urge To Preserve - Musings of a life long learner: Quite . . .
http://www.theurgetopreserve.com/2013/04/quite.html
Monday, April 22, 2013. Quite . . . I found some quite clever aprons on Pinterest. Not a surprise, I'm sure. Quite Clever Pinterest Apron - Redoux of a man's shirt. I was quite captivated with the concept and wanted to make one - which turned into "some". So, off to the thrift store(s) I went to purchase the necessary materials - men's shirts. After a couple of trips to my favorite haunts, I had quite a few in different colors. Which makes me quite happy! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). 2012-2013 The...

The Urge To Preserve - Musings of a life long learner: They're Back! Revisiting Citrus Cottony Cushion Scale
http://www.theurgetopreserve.com/2014/03/theyre-back-revisiting-citrus-cottony.html
Thursday, March 6, 2014. Revisiting Citrus Cottony Cushion Scale. In a post back in September 2012 I described my battle with the Citrus Cottony Cushion Scale on my container citrus. They are a very destructive citrus pest, one I thought I had beaten. Not so! I think these photos are pretty graphic and amazing! Here you can see the Farmer Ants working their Scale! The scale themselves are not really this big. The greater part of what you see is the egg sack. Citrus Cottony Cushion Scale. Way off the grid.

The Urge To Preserve - Musings of a life long learner: Pig Project
http://www.theurgetopreserve.com/2013/04/pig-project.html
Thursday, April 18, 2013. By my daughter, through her eyes, as written for her English class. At the time my son was 11 and Lauren was 14 years old. Miss Piggy, Colin's 4-H swine project 2006. Now small children in small green 4-H hats milled around the show ring. Camcorders in hand, parents gleefully watched their children and crossed their fingers that they wouldn't mess up. Colin is his 4-H attire after showing Miss Piggy. This was an amazing experience for everyone in the pavilion. The crowd was ...

The Urge To Preserve - Musings of a life long learner: June 2013
http://www.theurgetopreserve.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 17, 2013. Uncle Sam Expects . . . Chickens. Photo Credit - Meyer Hatchery. This historic poster is as true. Almost 100 years ago - it reads:. Two Hens in the Back Yard for Each Person in the House. Will Keep a Family in Fresh Eggs. An interested child, old enough to take a little responsibility, can care for a few fowls as well as a grown person. Every backyard in the United States should contribute its share to a bumper crop of poultry and eggs in 1918. In Time of War a Patriotic Duty.

The Urge To Preserve - Musings of a life long learner: Rambunctious
http://www.theurgetopreserve.com/2013/04/rambunctious.html
Monday, April 22, 2013. Don't you just love that word. Rambunctious. It is so fun to say, like being young and Julie Andrews, through her Mary Poppins character, teaching us to sing "supercalifragilisticexpialidocious even though the sound of it is something quite atrocious". Atrocious - another great word. I also like the word slither, although I don't particularly like snakes that slither. Hither, as in hither and yon, is another good one. Courtesy of wikimedia.org.
