I started to move my strawberries then the smoker was done and I had to eat smoked turkey....there's always Sunday,

Finally got the berry patch moved...started 8 plants last year, turned to 27 this year! I'll likely be giving them away next year.

Built (2) of these from your description and set them out a few days ago. Today both were loaded. There are a few more of the little Nazi Bastardies running amok. I will use more peanut butter.

Yes they do. No shots from a pellet rifle and no noise to speak of.

Just got done with tilling the garden..................

 

[T-Bolt]

Be careful about storing liquid bleach. It is only good for about 6 months before it turns to a salt/water solution. If storing it, buy the crystals and mix them as needed.

Thanks for the info. Where do you get the crystals?

Pool supply store. There are millions of pages about it, google is your friend. Here are a couple to get you started. The EPA has apparently removed any useful information from their page....go figure.

Nice ammo budget. I had to buy a new lawn mower...............

Bought my first Wind Turbine and 20 laying hens.

 

[Car Ramrod]

I finally picked up some Stabil and added it to my fuel stores. I also decided I need to add some other items to my food stores and picked up some rice. Beans and other items are to follow once I can make it to the LDS Warehouse. I think I have decided on the Katadyn Hiker as my bag/camping filter, and might go out next weekend with some other guys on a Bug Out trip.

[melensdad]

Starting to fill another 250 gallon fuel tank with diesel fuel.

 

[churchmouse]

Was going to till the garden again and add the sand, peat moss but too wet....

 

[WC Deer Hunter]

Made a new alliance with a friend I've known for a while. We have been delving more into these kind of conversations slowly but frequently over the last several weeks. Building a new broader for the chickens and making plans for a coop so as soon as these are ready to go in it we can get more.

 

[ThrottleJockey]

Moved the chives to a new area and planted dill, oregano and radishes. Not a big deal, but every little bit makes a difference. With the price of herbs at the grocery being so ridiculously high I doubled the size of the herb patch. We already ran out of most of last years herb crop and have been gouged recently...
