Crazy hot? Not at the moment. Sitting at a bone chilling 45°F. When I fed the birds this morning, it was 70°F. Had the window open all night.

Wanna guess who is wearing short sleeves today?

I would (almost) kill for a 45* day about now... (How do you get the degree sign?)

Thanks!! Both of these are very helpful. I read some article about fermenting once that said most of the stuff labeled “fermenting” were wrong and not actually fermented or whatever and it had to be done this special fancy complicated way or adding some special thing or something (they weren’t selling anything but idk remember what ingredient it was) so that kinda put me off from it. I’m thinking that person was wrong though. It said it didn’t have any of the benefits unless you did it their way

Yeah there are several ways to ferment, most people gave up on the ' keep covered with water and strain' method, because it's a pita.

Some people don't like fermenting feed at all
Tends to be a thing that people have strong opinions on.

BUCKETS!

Kroger gives away the empty icing buckets from the bakery. All I do is ask. Scrape them out and dishwasher them.

Walmart charges $1 per bucket. Just ask.

Firehouse subs sells the 5 gallon pickle buckets for donations.

Buckets are everywhere. Just ask.

Buckets are like rope. Can never have too much

I wish I knew about this because I’ve bought so many buckets over the years

Thanks! That makes sense. Seems people have strong opinions on most everything.

Very carefully.

I just hot glued them to a canvas. I did glue a jar ring in the center to give me something to build off of once I got to that point.
