: Greetings!! : Chiggers, Visiting Texas & finding that, going out in nature on my friends farm start up & further areas this time of year, can get you in a group of CHIGGERS. Who here has the knowledge of more natural solutions or even partial solutions for these biting little bugs??
: Much-Gratitude!!

: Greetings. I am currently having a friend weld a 8" & a 6" J-tube for putting inside two different barrels configurations in place of the brick one. I have done one brick one before. I plan for the J-Tube to have 4 legs & be wrapped in a metal mesh with a perlite & fire clay mixture, then just going through a short earthen seat for one & the 2nd one to be part of a water heating system before if vents out.  I have the Rocket Mass Heater Builders Guide for the measurements of the J-Tube. I am using thick square stock steel for the J-Tube.
Has anyone here done a Metal J-Tube & have thoughts on this??
: BEST!

Greetings, I am farming part time and 58. I Know in my heart that I have every ability to keep pitch forking wood chips, digging and the host of other things I enjoy.  I keep picking ways to support my body, spirit, and mind along the way. One of the most current is intermittent fasting. Once one gently adjusts to this " make it your own process " the benefits are wonderful !! I also work with diet and environment adjustments, along with nutrient cycling " Microbe and structure soil analysis "  If someone is truly ready and determined to improve their health as years go by there are lots of options and many do not need large expenditures ! At some point I will offer wisdom coaching " knowing that I am always a student as well " to people that are true to making changes for the betterment of themselves and the life around them.
Making the best as I can of the journey, Leanne
