I'm looking for an old fisherman's net real sturdy that I can put grassing in to hang for my goats. I was wondering if anyone would have any idea where to get something like this or or think it's a good idea or has a better idea?

We have a lot of nice grass right now that the goats are keen on eating but they don't have access to it and won't eat off the ground or out of a bin, but will eat it if we hang it on the the fence which is very laborious.

So I had this idea of getting a fisherman's net made of rope that I could fill with grass that icicle and hang it for the goats to be able to eat from.

I think I have seen this type of thing at a zoo but I'm not entirely sure.

This is just an idea I come up with, any other suggestions on how to put grass up for the goats graze on more than welcome.

Thanks for your support.

Cob dissolves in water, and then you've just got a bunch of wet sand and clay. It's better to use all clay. I've heard the best way to seal a pond is to put pigs in it. Or you could simulate pigs by throwing in manure and doing a lot of wet tamping.

I was wondering about that manure technique. Do you have any more info on this technique ( I think it's called glaze or something)?

Thanks

I live on the west side of Oahu which doesn't get rain for 10 months a year and would like to conserve water.

What do you think?

How many weeks total?

How much?

Thanks

Hi,

Great forum! It's exciting that there's this many members posting lots on a permaculture forum.

I'm in Hawaii and I'm looking for a way to get lots of old newspaper for free. I've been asking friends but I'd like to have a source that has lots. Any ideas on where to look or who to call to get newspaper?

Thanks
