I don’t Want to Do This, but I MUST Dec 03, 2021

It's been building up for awhile now and I've been putting it off for too long. I need to finish the mineral feeder for the chickens but the basement/shop is just too messy. It's time to CLEAN.

What I Should Have Done 15 Years Ago, for My Chickens Dec 02, 2021

Countdown to Joel Salatin + Rabbits Jul 12, 2021

Joel Salatin is coming to the homestead soon along with breeding rabbits for meat production. While my right hand and wrist are improving, the inflammation has spread to my left hand. My ankle is also still swollen which is hindering progress in getting ready for Joel's arrival.

We’re Getting Rabbits! 1st We Build the Hutches Jul 12, 2021

Instead of saying "I can't" due to my reactive arthritis symptoms, I ask "how can I?" I force myself to find solutions to my problems such as getting the ever-flow waterer working, fueling the Kubota, and building rabbit hutches.

Just When I Thought the Pain Was Over Jul 12, 2021

I thought I was on the verge of breaking through with my malady but the pain in my ankle worsened overnight and I'm having difficulty walking again. My future breeding guilt also seems to be sick. We give her an ACV drench in the hopes to improve her.

How My Kubota Saves Me on Feed Cost Jul 12, 2021

The larger the volume of feed, the cheaper the cost is per pound. Since I have a full-size Kubota tractor now, I am able to order 2,000 pound totes of chicken feed and move the totes easily with the tractor. Try Abundance Plus (free): http://www.abundanceplus.com

Dealing with (just) ONE Arm Jul 12, 2021

I'm still in a lot of physical pain but I need to do at least small, manageable tasks each day to prepare for Joel Salatin's upcoming visit. We break up the ground where there is bear dirt, seed it, cover it with hay, and water it.

Absolute Massacre Jul 12, 2021

The boys found ALL 100 of our new chicks slaughtered in the brooder. We set a trap to catch the culprit. We also celebrate Independence Day with friends, fireworks, and a feast.

One Percent Change Every Day Jul 03, 2021

From Bad to Worse | I Can Hardly Walk Jul 02, 2021

Just as I was recovering from Salmonella poisoning, I developed an intense pain which makes mobility very difficult. I've tried chiropractic, an ice bath, heat, and nothing seems to be helping.

Filling in the Gaps Jul 02, 2021

Still healing from the salmonella poisoning, I fill in the gaps on the homestead from the last few days of being down. I go to town to get an IV for rehydration. I also make plans to braid my daughter's hair for her future someday wedding and I practice on my wife in the meantime.

Salmonella Relapse Has Me on Light Duty Jul 02, 2021

I felt like I was on the mend yesterday from my salmonella symptoms but it seems I have relapsed today. Consequently, I'm on light duty and only doing minimal farm chores.

The Justin Rhodes Show Podcast: http://bit.ly/JRS-podcast

I'm on the mend today. Rebekah's home remedies and my self care practices are paying off. There is still a chance I have a virus instead of salmonella and could be contagious so Rebekah is not letting me touch anything. This proves to add challenge to my day.

Rebekah and I put our heads together to figure out the installation process for our new tomato trellis system in the high tunnel greenhouse. I eventually had to gird up my loins to do it and with a little elbow grease and a tall ladder, we got it done.

No More Watering Weeds in the HOT Sun | Drip Irrigation Install Jun 18, 2021

The greenhouse is large and hot. It takes a long time to water all the vegetables by hand so we install a drip irrigation system to automate the watering.

Speaking of water, our chicken waterer for the Cornish X chicks is getting nasty several times a day. I make a dirt catch system for the waterer to reduce the amount of cleaning necessary.

Homesteaders #1 Tool Clears for PIG Fence in No Time Apr 12, 2021

If we don’t clear this fence line soon we’ll be overrun with impenetrable brush. There’s so much to do, but we prioritize this JOB and get the Chainsaw out for the duty. RESOURCES BELOW. I like the -Husqvarna- Chainsaw for no other reason than Dad had one. And he was the cheapest man I know. So when I asked him, “Pop, why do you spend so much money on expensive tools?” He said it was because they get the job done well and don’t break done.” Grain free pizza crust STINKS, but this crust is actually good. Here’s the -BOOK- with the amazing (grain free) pizza crust recipe: http://bit.ly/grain-free-table The cool -MEASURING WHEEL- I was using (yes, I do love it. Our first one got ran over by a chider so I bought another one): http://bit.ly/measuring-wheel. The Wife told me they’re too expensive. I said they’d last. And they do. My - COOLER- that I had to clean out was a Yeti: http://bit.ly/yeti-45cooler ALL those links are affiliate links, BTW.
