Horse Trailer
Posted: 11 April 2010 – 10:06 pm
A couple of months ago I purchased a horse trailer. Been a long while since I have had one in my possession. What a different kind of feeling it has made. Kind of hard to explain if you are not a farm/rancher type, but I am going to try to just a bit… but first a bit of background is order.
Trimming Trees
Posted: 8 November 2009 – 11:45 pm
Spent the afternoon trimming trees and the like with my folks. It was some leftover stuff from the infamous ice storm in this area of 2009 and just some stuff that needed to be done. A couple of those were causing some issues with some structures and at least one was pushing a fence over as well. Anyway, it was nice workout and an experience that reminded me much of my youth in a lot of ways.
Gardening Manures
Posted: 7 November 2009 – 8:48 pmHad the question from a friend the other day about certain manures and I had to think and even looked one of them up in order to ensure I had the correct answers. So the question is how come some manures are used on gardens and some manures are typically not. The question was specifically what about cat or pig manures and there was a base assumption that chicken (or domestic fowl of any sort) was generally to hot with nitrogen to use readily.
Composting

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.
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.
