Infinite amount of corn and space. What animal to raise? (lemmy.world)
 

Hello,

I am attempting to raise as much of my family's diet on food we raise ourself on our family farm. We grow corn and if we wanted to we could store an infinite amount of ground corn that falls out of our machinery every year.

We already have chickens for eggs and meat. Space is not an issue.

What animal should we get that can be fed with corn and grass to supplement our chicken flock? I'm willing to entertain all warm blooded options.

Because "sterile" exotics often have a seed production rate at >0% in the best scenarios.
Why introduce an invasive species into the environment when there are plenty of natives that will do the trick? Stop being so lax with noxious weed contamination risks.

Coworker says smashing Japanese beetles will attract more? (lemmy.world)
 

Hello,

I recently had a coworker mention, " You can't just smash Japanese beetles because it will only attract more through a pheromone they release when dying."

Is this actually a thing or is he misremembering some old gossip's tale?

Thanks, DrHugsyMcFur

What song should I play for my bathroom neighbors? (lemmy.world)
 

The work bathroom is currently a warzone, on their phone speakers people like to play music, play games at full blast, and one guy likes to chill to ambient rainforest. What song can I play to passive aggressively make it known that I don't want to listen to their tik tok feeds while I work out my demons?

How to harden up my canned apples? (lemmy.world)

I canned a few cups of apples this fall. Now that I pull the apples out for some baking, i find that my apples are just barely more firm than applesauce.

Does anyone have any tips on keeping apples firm after canning?

My sliced apples shrank during canning? (lemmy.world)
 

Attempting to can apples for the first time and I am pretty confident that I filled the can up to the 1/2" point before the headspace starts. But after I pulled them out of the canner I have a good 1" of only liquid that the apples are floating on.

Did I do something wrong?

Is there a good way to really pack apples into the can before they go into the canner to avoid this wasted space?
