    I literally thought about one of these since an old house of ours had one on a jet tub

    Starting a Tree Farm

    Picked up a 1000gal tank today from a friend. His company didn't need it anymore and gave it to me for free.

    Sprig's Summer Gardening

    She didn't want me to just shoot them and skin them I had to go get a cone and since they won't ever let you grab them I also got a fishing net and some bigger bins for the scalding water and the ice water bath. Waiting on the freezer bags to store their bodies in.

    indeed. We've never processed poultry, so we were trying to get the right supplies so we could actually be successful at this.

    Sprig's Summer Gardening

    planted a bunch of cucumber starts :). Grew them for about two months and got them in the ground. And then my wife's guineas ate them all

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    To see what happens. I've been messing with bananas for 3 or 4 winters and the fact that I've been able to overwinter and see them be a thing in the summer is awesome. The tall green ones are musa Manzanos. I really would love to see a flag leaf and flower from them this summer as I think...

    Mechanical Electrical Timer

    No. I'm looking for a mechanical timer that provides electrical current to the pump. Later I'll be installing a timer for the whole system, but right now I want a bandaid

    Mechanical Electrical Timer

    haha. That's spendy. Honestly for this use I'm fine with cheap, hence me looking for a simple mechanical (spin the dial for a 20 min electrical current). Not looking for something the water will flow through, but rather something my pump will plug into (power) as my pump pushes to a 2" pipe...

    Bees in weird places...

    Ha! You were the target market for stings. I guess I never included in my thoughts the few folks I know who keep hives. They certainly get stung a fair amount of times. Sucls about that forced ambulance ride :(. That's pricey I've really only gotten stung a few times: once when I stepped...

    Mechanical Electrical Timer

    Looking for a mechanical electrical timer, like the one Orbit makes for hoses. Anyone know of one? I have a 550 gal water tank that feeds my 10 rows of potted trees via a large pump. I usually turn on a row or two for 20 min or so, but sometimes you can get distracted and forget :(. I really...

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    Planted all my cucumber and sweet pea currant (tomatoes) sprouts along my chicken run and tossed in more seeds just for fun. We'll see if the chickens let them survive. Then, as I was planting things in my raised bed I look up to see ALL our guineas just walking over those cucumbers. I just...

    Bees in weird places...

    They probably climbed up the pipe sensing a water source and were hanging of for dear life up there until they got popped out. That being said, I get that people are allergic to bees, but how many times have you ever got stung? And actually needed a hospital? I hear a lot of people say this...

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    I think lodgepole is the variety that's native to the western coast and jackpine is more east.

    What Did You Do In The Garden?

    I planted 27 jack pines. Mulched (horse crap) and then watered those and the 14 other trees I planted over the weekend. It was a full day

    Starting a Tree Farm

    I just for an arrival notice for today for some more trees. At least I'm expecting them at this point, so I can watch for that and hopefully get to do it earlier in the day, or at least not do a few hours of hard labor not expecting to also have to shovel in my gravel bed right after.
