I believe I have seen dozens of YouTube videos and read dozens of blog post about using pvc in greenhouses. The only warning I can recall seeing is to paint it with uv resistant paint or it will get brittle

Hell of question Justin Rhodes and his wife discussed that lead to the Great American Farm Tour on YouTube. Something I thought about often this last year. After much deliberation and research the wife

Our pepper plants are in overdrive this season. Been a great season. Freeze them, eat them and pickle them. Definitely the largest habaneros I have ever grown. Happy homesteading.!

Pretty cool to see my neighborhood Bald eagle now has partner in crime. Last year there was only one. My children, ages 4 and 7 are not impressed and sadly, I didn't get any good photos of the eagle pair

One of our muscovies picked our carport to build a nest in. 14 new ducklings thus far. Completely unplanned, but handy our chocolate drake gave us sex linked duckling. Meaning the female ducklings are

Our very noisy baby geese have grown from yellow to white in 5 weeks and are surprisingly quiet. I thought our less than a year old livestock guard dog would need extensive supervision before they could

Taking a look at our 2 year old hugel beds. This bed was falling over, so I thought I would give the world a look whilst I had it dug up. I have tried alot of gardening methods, and I like hugelkulture

Notice the flat sitting on a rafter, because I can't find one more space to put it! I have moved out pansie flowers and lettuce to our unheated greenhouse, and might get by moving out some other stuff

I love this time of year. Lambs are dropping, plants are popping. We had a muscovy hatch out ducklings. That's pretty amazing to me since she hatched them under a board, outside in horrid weather conditions.

Update on walipini one. Apologies for my snorting and heavy breathing, I have been dealing with the cold from hell. ▶️ DTube ▶️ IPFS

Why I detest political parties. I am a conservative person. I also love freedom, even if that freedom is at odds with things I don't like or approve of. I believe in free market principles. My beliefs

Rough night on the homestead. Suffered damages to our greenhouse, nothing that can't be fixed. It was touch and go for a bit. Luckily I noticed it on a late night trip to the bathroom. That's a win for

Looking good on my cuttings. Plants where moved to a shelf to add some shade and free up some space on our germination mats. These are 11 days from cuttings. Time will tell. Happy homesteading!

Not much going on this photo that you can see. The devil is in the details. In the trays is cuttings that I soaked in rooting compound. The media is sphagnum peat moss. Peat moss seams to keep just the

You can't turn on the t.v. without hearing about gun violence in the US. The US is no where close to the shooting deaths per population than other places on the earth. The US is still one of the safest

The best laid plans often go astray. But, sometimes things work out. Last year I had a brown ram lamb that I failed to castrate. I normally band at three days. This ram lamb had really small testicles

Pretty much the same post my fellow kentuckian bowentroyer made about cows a couple weeks ago. This is our small horned runt ewe and a nice size one day old lamb. I have ewes that weigh twice as much as

Pretty common saying where I grew up in reference to lots of rain. Like most good phrases I believe this one is rooted in truth. When its cold and sleeting ice. Our ducks just go about doing ducky stuff.
