So I'm currently in the fort worth area. Looking for land. It does seem that a lot of folks are around Austin. I'd love to be in that area. If anyone knows of a few acres for sale around them, let me know!

The land around here is expensive, but I can't be anywhere else! Our game plan for land (my parents are looking to buy soon-ish and we'll be sharing with them) is to stalk the county records and cold call people. My dad's first call last week was a bust, but call #2 is coming soon!

But seriously, the prices are ridiculous. We're looking in the Canyon Lake area which is very hilly... for how cruddy most of the land is I can't believe the prices they're charging! ($20,000/acre for RAW land seems to be average)

With all growth that coming from San Antonio and North, I wouldn't be surprised if Canyon Lake areas will start selling at $30-40k/acre of undeveloped land.
We are living between New Braunfels and San Antonio and seeing how old ranches being developed into 5-15 acres lots for sale at $50k/acre price tag with no electricity, water, or sewage. Another tendency is that old-timers around me who have 40-50 acres lots, splitting 5-10 acres and trying to sell for $40k/acre.
The worst thing is that people drilling more and more water wells at already overpopulated area. We opted for rainwater for all our needs instead of going 800-900 feet deep to get into aquifer, but it is exception unfortunately.

I live 15 miles Southwest from you on the property that have two deep ravines and rocky soils - perfect place for Madrones. However, never seen them in a wild here.

Good afternoon.

I am looking for any advice on how to keep red wigglers worms and Black Soldier Fly larva separated in vermicompost. Every time I try to set up a vermicompost, within a month population of larva overtaking all space in containers. So far, I tried big farm sink covered with couple thick old bath towels, tried stacked bins method with ventilation holes covered with door screen. Nothing worked for me so far. Am I missing something?
We live between Austin and San Antonio and have abundance of BSF here.

Thank you.
