If I have ground I can dig in and get a 2 to 3 foot hole I use a charred post and tamp sant around it. I never use concrete
It I can’t get post in the ground or it’s temporary I’ll use an old ICB. If the bladders good I fill it with water if it isn’t I’ll fill it with chunks of wood or rocks.
I really can’t see a wrong way to make a fence if it goes what you want it doesn’t always need to be pretty, mainly functional

Weld a plate on back and you have door handles

Nitrogen- phosphorus-potash BPK when you’re talking fertilizer analysis

For those of you using wool as a mulch it has a great fertilizer analysis, 9-0-2.

When we get our sheep shorn we have to find a use for it on the farm as it really has little value. We started using it for insulation in the back wall of our greenhouse, wall is 18 inch cavity so it takes a lot to fill. So far I would say it’s working, no wet sheep smell even in that high humidity environment. It is oily and heavy so I used plywood sheeting. Hope this helps some

I have been planting large trees in my pasture. I would like to plant a mixed understory gor my goats to browse, for small stakes and poles. What plants would be best? I was leaning towards locust since I have a tree that sends off a lot of suckers.

I get mine from a nursery that grows them in a tall liner. I tried to keep one in a pot for a couple years and it didn’t go well. Now I get them and plant them right away in with some tall annuals to provide some shade and protection, Chile pepper plants worked great the first year. I have 2 planted at an edge under a big tree, they have not grown well. Then I have 6 that I planted with annuals for shade and they grew a couple feet the first year. Hope this helps

I can a lot of beans every year. What can I use them for besides just chili or baked beans? Are they ok to make miso or tempeh?

Thank you. i was going to make bread but maybe tortillas is a better idea.

What can I use this for. Is it good for bread or pasta?
