Mother Earth News Magazine

Hi, Rick. Sorry you're having troubles with our site. We're working on getting the MOTHER EARTH NEWS Radio page perfected. Could you be more specific as to which file is missing? Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

The audio for both the Oct 31st show and the Nov 7th show.

They came up now with a refresh, but there was also a couple images missing so I think it's safe to assume the directed path was offline or otherwise not available to the web server.

Are there plans to offer this as an RSS feed so listeners can podcatch it? It's not aired in my area (yet) so a podcast would be great.

I would love to know how to grow quinoa. We don't eat rice or wheat anymore but if we do eat grain, it's quinoa.

Check out the site below if you are really interested in growing Quinoa. You will need a rich well drained soil. I've never tried growing quinoa but after looking it up might try it. I know that when I started my vegetable garden the soil in my yard was all clay, so I built a box to make make a raised bed which helps with drainage. You may not ... Read Morebelieve this but the vegetables you grow have a way better taste than what you buy from the store. I used a lot of plant compost in my garden after I built the 10'x10 frame and cut pallets in half to make walkways. Fortunately in the city of Kettering they do provide free mulch and compost for their citizens all you do is pick it up. Check out the city in which you live to see if they do the same, it'll save you some$$$.

I'm planting crimson clover for the first time this year - planting this weekend, now that we're starting to get some fall rain in the SF Bay Area..

Love Mother Earth News/ Ita reminds us that we still have some star quality in the garden

i firebricked my woodstove last summer and repaired it. husband wanted to throw it out i said no way. the top had split. banged it back together, firebrick fire morter, fixed it all, next is teh high temp paint on the outside. and making new ceramic panels for the sides

Hi, Don, thanks for your answer. Maybe I am not getting it, but mine is a pot bellied style stove, I never used one before, does it need firebrick?

I have loved this magazine for decades.

One girl I know on Ravelry knits Chicken Sweaters! Seriously, she knits shawls for them too! Check it out. Nothing like a well dressed chicken in the winter. Lots of fresh straw bedding, a warming lamp and an insulated hen coop...pile straw bales around the outside bottom and cover the top with fiber matting, change the water several times a day if it freezes and you should not have problems. I give them warm water and it lasts for a few hours. A bit of work, but worth the eggs!

i have heard of chicken sweaters for rescued battery hens to keep them warm in place of the feathers they have lost... :)

I love mead! I have a pear mead in the carboy now. Happy, happy!

let's all go rape, and pillage some villages! LMAO
