I like this idea, too!! You people come up with some really great ways of doing things.... I'll be starting mine after Christmas...
I love the idea of using the tub, that is smart... one of mine doesn't get used much because the kiddos like the deep tub in our bathroom, haha
Heirloom...
Wow, Chris, that is an awesome little greenhouse!!
The ones my bro-in-law sells are commercial quality, with fans and a double-layer of plastic and such, here's the link if that's the way you might want to go...

And they have a blog with greenhouse gardening...
My bro in law sells greenhouses, they are commercial grade, in 3 different sizes (Small, medium, large/full-sized, lol), and they deliver in the Intermountain West.. I'll give you more info in PM if you want. My mom has a full-sized one and we are thinking about rotating the birds through...
Wow, the thread has been very informational the past few days!!!
I knew it was good for them to have access to food 24/7, didn't know why, though and that makes a lot of sense..
Thanks for the link!!
Really like this idea, too.. especially when they are sooooo plentiful certain times of...
Love this idea of adding lentils... they have great protein!
Cool, noted....
Haha, that's funny... I've been saying I need a schematic to figure out how I'm going to stagger my hatches next spring, lol
Awesome that so many people have been checking out this thread.. I love the idea...
Excited to start sprouting.. when all the work outside is done and they can't forage too much more free-ranging.. sprouting here I come.... good idea on getting spilt barley... My dad knows some barley farmers... I'm going to ask him about getting the spilt grain...
Wow, lots of info on this page, and great job rainypeeps!! I know I'm going to find myself pulling out a few to snack on myself when I start as the weather continues to cool=)
We have water stuff like that all the time here... on a low year, the people whose water rights pre-date others start saying they need all their shares and the other people say, but we need some water, too and then sometimes it goes to court, etc, etc... pawtraitart lives in the same water...
Okay, that is RUDE!!! It snowed yesterday, too!! I need some more sunshine to get some more stuff done, I'm not ready to lock myself up inside yet, lol!
With the snow falling outside, I was wishing I had my fodder going, but I haven't buttoned up the other fall stuff, yet, so they're still eating some of the garden left-overs.... BUT, I did get some meal-worm starter today for my own meal-worm farm, so that should be helpful, also...
I like that idea, wouldn;t lose any seed that way... the garden trays I already have, I wouldn't have to buy them... Now I just need to call around to some of the elevators and find out exactly what they have, I should be able to get some uncleaned wheat from the local farmers, and I might even...
I have those garden flat trays, but still wondering how I keep the wheat in them.... is it ok to loine the bottom with plastic that hs some holes poked in it for drainage??
