This was from February. Once I finish the fencing and shed repairs, this area will be the ducks' new home so I can get them out of the garden and start planting.
Looks like I need to fence off the corn.
Woodland Ducks: Duck Life at Woodland Urban Farm, LLC
New mini-documentary, unscripted and uncut. May not be appropriate for all audiences.
I have duck eggs for sale! $6.00/dozen, and kale for $3.00/bunch.
Upgrading the aquaponics bit by bit. I moved the solar panel to the porch roof, pruned a walnut tree that was shading it, connected some 1/4" tubing to the pump, and ran it to a pot suspended over the fish tank. I have some gravel in the bottom of the pot and some little pots of strawberries sitting on the gravel, with the tubing pouring into one of the pots. The way the drain in the pot is situated, it holds about a quarter-inch of water in the bottom all the time. I see problems with this setup, but it's better than nothing at this point. The pump isn't all that strong, but hey, it was under ten bucks.
Carrying Water
The road crew left a water pipe gushing at the end of our road, so I decided to make use of some of the wasted water.
High tunnel storm
The ribs are screwed to the ridge pole with brackets, and held into the ground with rebar. I'd kind of like to see how it holds up against hail, but we have blueberry bushes heavy with fruit out in the storm.
