Acreage Web Show - May 2012

May brings mayflowers and possibly a final frost. Our shows for the month will give you ideas about raising goats, container gardening, and graywater reuse. Enjoy!

Sara Ellicott, University of Nebraska Extension, explains that meat goats may be just the critter to raise on your acreage.

 

Container gardening beautifies a doorstep or garden area. Nicole Stoner, UNL Extension, gives us some ideas to explore.

 

Sharon Skipton, UNL Extension, explains that reusing graywater to irrigate a yard is possible, but probably pretty expensive if done correctly to protect human health and the environment.
