I helped a friend process some chickens this week. This kind of work is meaningful and builds community. Check it out.

Great perspective

Seems that way

You let those shit demons in your house? I love my chicks, but the house is off limits!

Cheers!

Nick has great stuff. I ordered from him a few years back and been propagating that stock since then. Highly recommend his stuff, and a great contributor to the TSP community.

You could add air tubes to your stack to add air exposure to the interior of the pile. This is a good way to make a static compost. Very similar to Johnson-Su.

Pipes can be removed after one week to promote more air exchange.

Yes! GM!

I DCA every 2 weeks with Strike, but got my wife to DCA every day with the Fold Card. Thanks for the info and the motivation!

I was under the understanding that coffee grounds were also a high nitrogen source. They are considered a "green" when building compost.

Hello! Always looking to learn more #homesteading, #bitcoin, #permaculture

sold!

jealous! I snowed here last night! I could use some warm weather and nice winery!

Looks nice! Sorry to hear about the bunnies! That's so sad. thankfully, the worst I have to deal with here is Racoons, and they've never bothered with my buns.

Once in a while. They will be scratching along the net and tag it. She'll holler, and they all go running. It's kinda funny. But doesn't really hurt them.

Premier1 electronet has protected my chickens (and my garden) from all land based predators (and herbivores). I highly recommend. Will be buying 3 more lengths this spring for the garden and new orchard I'm putting in.

Oh my goodness, he looks like my dog when he was a pup...

The chicken Greenhouse/Hawk protection project is complete!

That's a reverse osmosis system? Yes, a reverse osmosis system will essentially give you an equivalent to distilled water. 0 ppm anything, or very close to it.

I use a similar system at home for beer brewing connected to a large stockpot with a float valve in order to have 5+ gallons of distilled water on hand at any given time.

Switching to RO water and adding salts to build my water profiles was the single greatest improvement in my homebrew quality I had done.

Thank you ... I'm still just getting started. Little but at a time. Learn new things, and apply them. Wish I had land enough for ruminant animals. That's the life goal, regenerative ranch.

Thank you! Little bit at a time, develop more each year. Small, thought out steps, building on knowledge and experience year after year. I only have 1/2 acre, but feel like we do pretty good with wat we have. I want to add meat chickens to the mix next year. We have 8 hens, and 5 breeder rabbits (3 does, 2 bucks). I got fodder trees from Nick Ferguson 2 years ago, and propagated them last year and this year. Hoping to grow 50% of their feed this year, and 80% next year.

I am putting in persimmons, asian pears, figs, cherries, apples, seaberry, goumi, adding peaches, plums, and a few other things to the orchard this year.

After doing little for the last 2 years, because of our desire to move out of NJ, and my wife's cancer, I decided we're going to stay for 5 years (now that she's cancer free just to make sure she's out of the woods, so to speak). I figure, I have to develope more while I'm here, just in case
