Just got done setting up a new incubator. It has been a long time since I hatched anything, although when I did I did hundreds between ducks and quail!
I’ll be putting blue runner duck eggs, one tiny serama chicken egg (that’s all they’ve given me so far) , and filling the rest of the space with buff/Rouen mixed eggs. 28 days of waiting ahead of me!
But for now, I watch the temperature attempt to stabilize itself….
This is where I’m going to plant some blocks of edible plants and see what grows well. Hopefully the weather cooperates for. Winter garden. First step was to bring over a dozen tractor scoops of pond muck and sand that has been sitting for over a year.
I use the tractor bucket teeth to scrape and smooth the area. The first day the dogs ran right over it leaving paw holes in my fluffy dirt!
So the next step was fencing. I pounded in t posts and used zip ties (cable ties) to secure cattle panels all the way around. Next time I’ll measure my area out in 16 foot blocks because I had to bend some panels around so they wouldn’t stick out.
Tada! Ready for planting!
I like to try and bookmark sites I want to go back to and read; it always seems I find them when I’m short on time! Meanwhile, my bookmark list is so long I can’t find anything I’m after!
Below is one of those sites. He even has it set up with an alternate site in case this one gets hacked (smart thinking!). On it are links about seeds, animals, survival, gold, his random rambling thoughts (warning: a bit of politics, but easy to skip those), old time stuff, and a lot more. (Opens in a new tab)
I am not affiliated with him in anyway, but highly recommend this site. Bonus: No popup ads or self starting audio/video!
Here’s his backup site just in case (opens in a new tab):
