    27. Maybe 26. Depends on which weatherman we listen to. No precip expected. 0% chance of rain, next three days. If it frosts, it will be due to yesterday's rains - still plenty of moisture in the upper inches of soil.

    Yeah, it is a little "exposed". I'll finish wrapping it at lunch. We are only going sub freezing 10 hours or so today, maybe 4 hours tomorrow - so tarps plus flowing water, we'll be fine. Will have a more permanent solution by December. This shock cold snap caught me sideways.

    Rain Barrel Waterer System

    There is neither power, nor running water, where I set this up. That is why.

    My pressure tank sits in the middle of my field, next to a power drop. Last year, where the water comes up out of the well casing, and the water froze there at the check valve before it entered the pressure tank, and also froze at the outflow from the pressure tank (where my first faucet...

    We'll be above freezing for the next few weeks. I don't like making a warm moist environment any longer than I need to to protect against freezing. It fosters rust, rot, and mildews/molds. So I'll take all the visqueen back down.

    Likewise. Setting up all the plant protection today, wrapping my well pump in concrete block and visqueen so the wellhead doesn't freeze again. Be at it most of the day. Then take it all down Wednesday for another month.

    Medium tan. My grape roots appear to range from medium tan to light brown.

    You know, I honestly wasn't paying attention. I'll check tomorrow.

    Fish food ok?

    Treat is like a treat. Its mostly water, but the rest of it is safe.

    Aesthetics. Yes, really. (also, easier to drive the tractor around behind them and between rows now)

    Deer ate the grapes, but I had like 20# left from last year in the freezer, and I relocated the grapes this year (some feet, but still stressful on the plants), so I'm not disappointed w/ how they re-established themselves. Have one more to relocate next year.

    Feather pecking in rescue hens

    Pea protein should be safe - dried peas are frequently used in feed recipes, and have been for more than a hundred years of publication, I'm sure their use is much, much older. In all likelihood, the cost of "supplementing" their feed to increase crude protein will exceed the cost of simply...

    It did so "well" I moved it. Lost essentially nothing, because essentially nothing was growing.. More accurately, my hugelkultur bed provided a bunch of mint, and some basil (OK a lot of basil) that went to seed while I was busy doing other things. The leaf-footed bugs assaulted the tomatoes...

    My chickens do not eat much

    and not to stir the pot, but "Organic Dewormer"? Save your money. I have yet to see an anthelmintic made from natural sources with any reasonable degree of control and guarantee of concentration of the actual bioactive compounds. Pumpkin seeds and wormwood are fine in theory, but in practice...
