Composting
Posted: 6 November 2009 – 11:01 pm
Over the years I have started more then my own fair share of compost piles on my own properties. The basic concept is so simple and in reality anyone can do it. Some of my greatest warm moments have come from the time or two that I have shown someone else how to set up their own compost pile and have helped them get it going.
Horse Market

A few weeks back as I will sometimes to just for an afternoon of fun and entertainment I went to the local horse auction. A few clarifications are in order there to begin. First, I was only casually looking, having a half a thought depending on prices and such of maybe sometime in the very near future pursuit of a draft cross for jousting. The local sale is not really all that local, but at about an hour away it is not bad of a drive.
Hillside Heritage Farm

I do not do this kind of thing on any blog very often, but that means if I am plugging someone, especially for free you should take a note or two. Hillside Heritage Farm is a small farm over in Garrard County Kentucky, not far from the river the same name located out on some rolling hills with an appropriate enough name. It is owned by John and Dorothy Contini and I am proud to claim them, along with the three kids as friends.
Monsanto & Round Up

Monsanto is pretty much right on the bottom of muck pile as a way of really expressing just how I feel about them. I have never been a very big fan of them anyway and you may recall my questioning of their Round Up product back some number of months ago in a blog. Over the summer I learned of something else and it explained a couple of things to me and made me pretty much as ticked off as I can be.
Baxter Black

All around hero for farm and ranch folk is who he is. Baxter Black is best know probably known for his appearances on RFD-TV and NPR morning shows, but for those of you who do not know him, he is a cowboy poet these days by trade. In the past he has been cowboy, large animal vet, and a handful of other jobs here and there. His take on the cowboy life and even that of a rural America is not only genuine, but down to earth and so often presented with a humorous twist that will have you wrenching in laughter.
