4 cups tap water in a saucepan
1 Fels-Naptha soap bar
1 cup washing soda (it has to be washing soda, not baking soda)
1/2 cup borax
Grate your bar of soap & add to the saucepan with water. Stir continually over medium-low heat until soap dissolves and is melted. Fill a 5 gallon bucket half full of hot tap water. Add melted soap, washing soda and borax. Stir well until all powder is dissolved. Fill bucket to top with more hot water. Stir, cover and let sit overnight to thicken. This is where some split & dilute the recipe & fill another 5 gallon bucket. I don’t have that kind of storage space so I use this recipe undiluted. I just use half the amount (1/4 cup) when adding it to the wash! Stir again & fill your laundry detergent holder. Be sure to stir every time you refill your container.

Next in the driveway saga LOL! We had a huge rainstorm. Typically, that would be upsetting for construction work but the timing couldn't have been better! This way Eric our driveway guru can see where the run off goes and areas that may need help!

Here we grow again! Another Spring and another garden started! You know what? I'm excited about this one! Even though I didn't enlarge the area to plant that I had hoped for. Even though we still need to build more planters. Even though I still have SO much to learn. The delicious veggies that our garden gave us last year was all I needed to want more. So, I'll just have to deal with all the things I don't have and enjoy all the goodness that we do have. That's homesteading isn't it? Make it work! Come and join me today as I plant cucumbers and find a visitor in the garden!

Here's an video from earlier this year. Sorry for the bounce. I've been enjoying a YouTube learning curve and this episode is a great lesson in don't however, I thought it was a great way to show where we've come from just earlier this year. Our guinea hen coop is now going through an expansion and this reminds me of how fast plans can change. Homesteading has made me learn to roll with these changes. Learning, learning, learning! That's what it's all about.
We are still using these panels to herd the guineas into the coop and I'm seriously considering building a permanent "raceway" for them to funnel into.
So, enjoy this earlier video and remember that it's all about learning!
