My aunt has started making soap, lip balm, bath bombs, bird houses, etc. she makes the stuff from scratch. She is unable to leave her home for medical reasons. She uses tallow. Any craft recipes she should use?
My other aunt baking and cooking more. She is divorcing. Do you have any good recipes she can use?
My other other aunt is gardening and planting more because she is supplying to my first aunt. She is also doing more bird research. Do you have any bird cites I can send her and plant cites or any tips on certain plants and birds she should know?
I have been making fertilizer. I mixed my crappy hay with sheep poop and ashes. What other things like poop can I mix in. I will be mixing everything in this order.
Hay
Ashes
Poop (of any kind. I will not mix different poops)
Does anybody want me to come clean and keep their animals poop or clean their fire pit or fireplace and keep their ashes? I will do it for free!!!

Your aunts are busy ladies.
The bird watching aunt, I have a suggestion. The Rio Grande Valley in south Texas is famous for bird watching. Being a sub tropical area, there are lots of different species of birds.

Hey @Baymule , unless something is different, I think they are all in Mass......Texas is a few miles away, :hide

Same reason I doubt @Farmercharliesblog will be coming to clean out many of our barns.

@Farmercharliesblog ... why not mix the manures in the compost? We mix any/all we have. Rabbit manure does not need to be composted, It does not burn the plants.
