I did ask my mechanic btw, and they said take what you need. My issue is that they store them in a shed and it reeks of cigarettes...I know I could wash them, but it's a mental block I have, I can't get that ash tray ick out of my mind! When we're more settled, I'll find some more tires because I'd like to outdo your potato farm hee hee! ;)Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-86613657127404020932017-05-04T11:41:32.747-03:002017-05-04T11:41:32.747-03:00ok - kombucha first. try boiling 4 cups of water a...ok - kombucha first. try boiling 4 cups of water and then add 4 tea bags - or 6tspns of loose tea if you have it, green tea or true black tea (lipton's or red rose). let the teabag steep for about 15 mins. remove the tea bag and add 1 cup of non-refined sugar. stir until dissolved. then add 8 cups of water. stir all of that together and let it cool to room temperature. add your scoby, cover with cheesecloth and elastic band. put the jar in a dark, but warm, well-ventilated place. cover with a towel. check your scoby every day - just a peak. it should rehydrate itself in about 10 days.<br /><br />if not - we'll talk about shipping. but try to rehydrate the one you have.<br /><br />avocado oil, grape seed oil, EEVOO - all of those oils will work as a substitute. xoxokymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-71455709017154341212017-05-04T11:35:33.541-03:002017-05-04T11:35:33.541-03:00Rain - land here in cape breton is CHEAP! i have f...Rain - land here in cape breton is CHEAP! i have found that the prices for mainland NS, NB and PEI to be incredibly expensive. the only other cheap place in the maritimes is NFLD.<br /><br />as i told TB above, buy a bottle of kombucha and try it. see if you like it. it has many health benefits. and if you like it - you can make your own! forever! and you don't need land to make kombucha!<br /><br />i can't wait until you guys get your own land - you are well on your way to getting there!<br /><br />i started with 4 tires too! then found out that you can walk into any garage and they will give you all the tires you want - FOR FREE! garages save tires and when they get enough they have to pay to have the tires hauled out. trust me. if you want more tires - go to your nearest garage. soon they will be calling you in the middle of the night asking if you can come and pick up 20 more tires. and they'll pay for your gas - bahahahahahah!<br /><br />jam is building us a second greenhouse and the tomatoes will live there. i'll keep you updated! xoxkymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-17922975250995471992017-05-04T11:29:59.164-03:002017-05-04T11:29:59.164-03:00Sue - i hear you about store-bought versus your ow...Sue - i hear you about store-bought versus your own potatoes...i can't stand store bought anymore. and we finally figured out how much we need to grow in order to still be eating our own potatoes in may. mind you, it only took about 6 or 7 years to figure it out - duh!<br /><br />strangely enough, even though we have a giant compost pile, our ravens, crows and cravens never go there. we scrape all of the leftover catfood onto one plate and that's where they go every day. strange birds those ravens, crows and cravens. but we love them!kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-65986920545216990862017-05-04T11:27:09.554-03:002017-05-04T11:27:09.554-03:00oh Sweet Sandy - i am sorry that you can't sta...oh Sweet Sandy - i am sorry that you can't stand kombucha. can you drink other probiotic drinks to get the healthy stuff for healthy stomach flora?<br /><br />i am sooo looking forward to getting into the garden and planting! and hey - won't you be too full up of the trout that jam will be catching you to have room for 200lbs of potatoes - bahahahahahahah!<br /><br />we are sending much love and many hugs right back to you all! xoxokymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-80653325909505253872017-05-04T11:24:23.954-03:002017-05-04T11:24:23.954-03:00TB - go buy a bottle of organic kombucha, try it, ...TB - go buy a bottle of organic kombucha, try it, i think you'll like it! and with your cheese-making knowledge - making your own kombucha will be a breeze. look up the health benefits of kombucha - it's really good for you!<br />and yes - welcome spring!!! kymberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02607117635648274823noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-28129920686995970912017-05-04T11:11:18.839-03:002017-05-04T11:11:18.839-03:00Since you know your stuff (and how!) what would yo...Since you know your stuff (and how!) what would you suggest as a substitute - avocado oil?

If I totally fail, and if you still have a second fat momma scoby available, let's talk shipping costs! Your dressing sounds wonderful - I may try to whip up a jar, sans the cold-pressed hemp oil, which I most likely can't find here.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12573143203599624833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-46730289924520281812017-05-04T11:01:58.263-03:002017-05-04T11:01:58.263-03:00Hi Kymber :))

We have cravens too, I think they must be crows but they are so big that we have no idea! I've never had kombucha, but I know people rave about it. Congrats on making your own and having a forever supply of it! That's what it's all about isn't it? Self-sufficiency!!<br /><br />Look at all those tires!!! :) I have 4 lol...one day I'll have a big collection like you do :) And all those tomatoes, beautiful!<br />Rain https://www.blogger.com/profile/14377719049819222133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-89666242594127301502017-05-04T07:48:46.539-03:002017-05-04T07:48:46.539-03:00Hi Kymer--yes, it's a busy time of year and it...Hi Kymer--yes, it's a busy time of year and it's hard to find the time to add in a blog or two.<br />I've been out of potatoes for a month and store-bought just doesn't taste as good.<br />I can't tell the difference between crows or ravens---but I do have a pair that raids my compost pile.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122524042294993949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3136150101440535605.post-85554341182629654992017-05-04T02:02:38.707-03:002017-05-04T02:02:38.707-03:00Kymber,
