| Two Living on One Income | | Times are really tough as we know too well. Jobs come jobs go. We are down to one income now. We have managed with less. A few days ago I made a list of all of our bills. Our bills left us with about $120 a month for food (if we didn't have to pay car insurance). So the next task was to eliminate some of the bills. We did pare down the cable/internet to less than half of what we were paying. We pay $27 a month for trash removal. By obtaining a sticker at our town office to use the dump we can save at least $15 or more by bringing the trash to the dump. This of course involves a bit of recycling and composting. With a little effort we could do this. Our phone is through Vonage. It saves us quite a bit of money so we are keeping that. Our cell phones will go the wayside. Even using a pay as you go phone isn't reasonable. Why have it if you really don't need it? No longer do we dine out or grab fast food. My shopping habits have changed as well. No more prepared meals. I was bringing Lean Cuisine meals to work with me. Now I will bring more sandwiches and leftovers. Chicken has become the main choice for protein. You can use it in a variety of ways and never grow tired of... | |
| | How does one live more frugally? | | I am in need of frugal living tips and ideas to make money as well.I already do things such as gardening and composting and I buy used books and items vs new to help cut costs and I also buy basics foods in bulk such as eggs, grains, etc.Do you have any more tips that may help me? | |
| | Chickens as pets? | | I just read this article: http://www.latimes.com/features/home/la-hm-chickens6-2008dec06,0,6975632.story
about keeping chickens as pets - not people who live on a farm mind you - but city dwellers! The article states benefits such as "They reduce garbage by eating your leftovers mixed in with their feed, and they will pick off those irritating caterpillars destroying the vegetable garden. Their poop is an excellent composting aid, and they will even trim your grass and weed for you, if you let them. Added benefits: farm-fresh eggs right from the backyard and the amusement of impressing friends with an interesting new pet -- and for many it is a pet, not a future entree."My question is... would you ever keep a chicken as a pet? | |
| | How do you compost the autmn leaves? | | Composting leaves in the fall is a great way to dispose of them. Not only is composting easy, it gives you some great mineral-rich soil to help with your gardening in the spring. There are a few guidelines you should follow to ensure success when you compost autumn leaves.1.Think about shredding leaves before you compost them. Shredded leaves are much easier to turn in a compost pile. These leaves will also break down much faster than whole leaves. You don't need to shred leaves, but it's easily done by running over them with a lawn mover.
2.Add your leaves to your compost pile. You should try to bury the new compost material deep into the pile, just like you do when you add any new material to it. Covering the leaves will help the compost pile turn into soil quickly.
3.See if you need to add manure or a supplement to your compost. If you have a new compost pile, a supplement like bone meal or manure can help speed the compost process. These materials are rich in nitrogen, which is essential for the natural composting process.
4.Turn your compost pile every 4 or 5 days. Using a manure fork, mix the compost so that the material that was on the top is now shifted into the... | |
| | What is the stinkiest smell you've ever experienced? | | I went over to the Norman dog pound one day and a very foul smell was presented to me in quite a wave of odor. Apparently it was where all the composting was done. I am pretty sure, no, I'm positive I've smelled worse, but that is the last really nasty thing I have breathed in. So what would be the worst thing you have ever smelled? | |
