A quick update on our attempt at using dried leaves as bedding for our chicken coop. I talk about the pros and cons of using this free, easy to find resource in your coop.
Special thanks to Becky Stallard for the update request. I hope it is helpful!!
Remember that time when the frost zapped our potatoes? Well, here is an update on them.

Don't have one of those fancy schmancy vacuum sealers in your kitchen? That's okay! You can do a decent job of getting the air out of your freezer bags without one. And, it's FREE!!

As much as I love the beautiful flowers that pop out of my elephant garlic, I have recently learned that the scapes they grow on taste DELICIOUS! So, I've decided to harvest some of them.

The trajectory is obvious. Who knows how long it will take, but we are headed toward a cashless future. But what about those of us who choose not to participate? How will we be able to procure goods and services? We will have to depend on a strong, tight knit community based barter economy. But, if it ever come down to it, what will you have to offer up? It's time to be prepared!

Are you tired of buying chicken feed? We sure are! Luckily, there are lots of different ways to reduce, if not eliminate your chicken feed bill! One of the most promising I've seen so far comes from @PermaPasturesFarm21. This is our attempt to adapt and implement their method of feeding an entire flock without buying layer feed. according to their channel, this method can work for both egg layers as well as heritage breeds of meat chickens.
For more information on this method, check out the Chicken Tractor On Steroids playlist from Perma Pastures Farm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJjhO3CmjLk&list=PLaAkONMPbRRdpu49GNp-vHfOP7qb2DNDa&pp=iAQB

This is strange! One of our newly hatched chicks has s twisted neck. It is running around with its head turned all the way upside down. I've never seen anything like it! But, we're going to try and save it.

It is time to get this garden going! We've got a new tiller, but before I can use it, I'm going to have to cut down some grass. The only problem is... I've never hooked up a PTO implement before!

A Quick update on my second attempt at cultivating the wild oyster mushrooms I harvested from the woods behind my house. It is working! Several small clusters of fruiting bodies have begun to protrude from the holes in my cardboard-filled bucket. But, the learning process continues. I'm having a little bit of trouble keeping things from drying out, and I've noticed where something has been munching on my mushrooms. I'm definitely going to have to do something about this.
