Piglets

What about it?

Hello all, woke up to piglets this morning, there were 11 in total but one died, the thing I'm worried about is he was literally 2 times as big as the rest. Like he absorbed number 12 and was huge. Anyone ever have that happen?

I’ve asked my neighbor for months to get his dogs (pitbull mix & terrier mix) under control. I was bit 9 times & they killed my buck rabbit. I couldn’t get to a gun before they took off. After a brief call about it I got this text.

Working on my gravity fed water system...

What about it?

So I built a couple of these water tote stands and I have another tote on a trailer and I have a scavenged RV 12V water pump and an old motorcycle battery and that is what I have been using to move water. I usually take it from my rooftop collection, pump it to my trailer tote and then pump that into these totes. I really need more uphill water collection/storage.. But more immediately, my dog wants me to throw her ball for her ✌😁..

Chemical in Tank?

What about it?

Hey, i just moved into this property and they left this sprayer, but it's full of some red chemical. It was an estate sale, so we can't get in touch with the previous owner to ask what it is. I would love to be able to clean it out and use it for a water or compost tea sprayer. Is this possible, or is this tank contaminated and not able to be cleared off chemical? If so, what's my best way to get rid of the chemical (where would I put it,) and clean it?

Some stuff is just gross

What about it?

I grew up on a 100-acre dairy farm and as a child I screamed blue murder when I stepped on a worm in the garden in my bar feet after a rain. My mother looked at me and said, "Where did you come from?" Even now, I abandoned my good vegetable garden in part because of the slugs. Tonight I stepped into the barn and saw this bug on the floor. We get them every year, they don't seem to do anything, including move. The cats walk back and forth over them and don't care. I hate mice. I freak out about mice. I have barn cats for that and I'm glad for the coyotes to take care of things in the fields. So I'm out here in the hinterlands because it suits me in so many ways, but I'm all the time swallowing bile because of the stuff that disgusts me out freaks me out.

We grew our own black beans this year. We ended up with just over 5 litres (~ 10lbs). This should do us for the year!
