Cover your plants under airy tulle. I haven't had a single chomp from any caterpillars on my broccoli thanks to tulle.

"My husband hates cooked vegetables! Going meatless is not an option" Wow. Just wow.

I don't look at their carts but I do look at the person ahead of me when they put their food on the conveyer belt. Sad to say but usually the food matches the person. If you're buying bags of chips...

I don't have any hydro peroxide in my house. So should I go and buy another container made out of plastic to wash produce when water has always worked fine for me and never made me sick? Right.

How about no bad christmas sweaters? You think it's a stereotype until you get one. PJs on the other hand. I get a set from one of my aunts every year. I love it.

I am a vegetarian and though I don't have pets, I wouldn't make them vegetarian if I did. That's where I draw the line between my personal dietary choice and messing with another animal's diet. Lik...

I considered this for a bit when I thought about canceling my electricity (ridiculous rates). I think you could do it if you buy your food fresh daily or every other day. You would have to buy meat...

He's totally hot and I do admire what he's doing. I'd imagine you need very good people skills to survive without money. I am a social phobe and I'd have the hardest time bartering. On the other ha...

I don't feel like I need any of the things I have but they are a matter of convenience so I hang onto them. But if my car broke down and was impossible to repair, I wouldn't get a new one. I have s...

It's definitely going in my reading list.

If you can't cook vegetables, then you can't cook in my book. Yes, I am a vegetarian and I have had to sit through many bad meals by omnis who have never tried making veggies into something more th...

The apple and potatoes segments were just amazing to me. Loved it.

Does anyone know if it will rerun on some other day? I'm going to miss the second half and I don't have cable or Tivo. Maybe it'll end up online.

I grew up in a strict SDA house so I never really understood Halloween since I wasn't allowed to participate (it being the devil's holiday, um, yeah). I'm not SDA anymore but am big into health and...

I am a vegetarian so I eat nothing but vegetables and whole grains. I don't always get green in every single meal but I make sure to eat a bit of all colors and seasonal veggies throughout the day.

I really wish Re-Nest would've tried to answer this question instead of just having the readers give their advice. While I appreciate the reader comments and no doubt some really know their stuff, ...

I'm in Los Angeles and I've planted carrots, turnips, radishes, kale, swiss chard, broccoli, kohlrabi, shelling peas, and snap peas. You have to be flexible though because the weather is so wacky h...

I never heard of the potato and salt one but I also attribute the mushroom myth to Alton Brown.

Personally, I think plain milk is disgusting. I cannot drink the stuff. I have nothing against dairy but it's just the taste of milk that makes me gag. So I opt for unsweetened soy milk. I can drin...

I live in about 500sq ft and it's fine for me and my bf. What I'd really love is a yard (live in a bungalow right now). I'd love to one day buy the tiniest little house with an enormous yard so I c...
