I have a metal rod and my hubby got me a chain on each side I just punch the rod through the veggie and than hang it in the coop.
Sorry it's a little hard for me to explain in english. I will get a picture for you of it so you can see it tomorrow, ok?
Do you have a picture of it? Maybe if you would run some wire through it like an "X" to make the tarp stronger and than use heavy plastic and also try to way it down or nail it on a 2x4 wrap the tarp around it maybe twice so you do have weight to keep it down, and then before your do staple or nail the tarp to the fence use tuck tape to make the tarp stronger. And put the tarp on so the wind pushes it agains the fence and does not blow it up like a balloon. Or … .well I don't wanna sound like I know everything how to do, these are just ideas which pop into my head
Yes I do have lots of Ideas, and the problem is I wanna do many of them, but now we can get lots done, we are in the process to build up a little homestead for us, and are on the long way to get more self-sufficient. The Chicken are just one of the many projects we work on in moment, there are plans for getting Rabbits, maybe a couple Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Bees, Geese, Turkey, Ducks. And also I will have a big Garden for Veggie, Berry's, Fruits and Herbs this Year. I already do a lot of things myself, like Laundry soap and I always bake my own bread and make soap and lots more. I learned how to smoke fish and meat and sausages from my grandparents way back than, also how to make them myself. I truly believe that this is a way to live a healthier life and it might be costly in the beginning because many thinks need to be purchased and build but in the long run when things are up and running it will be a great reward when you exactly know what you bring on the table.
Anyway, this is not the purpose of this thread it belongs somewhere else ;-)
Thanks for your ideas, Kueken. You have lots of goals - and you're well on the way to achieving them! We love the country life as well. I plant a big vegetable garden (as well as lots of flowers). Like you said, it feels good to know where your food comes from. Also have miniature donkeys and miniature goats. And now the chickens.
From Toronto, but live in Florida for the winter. I can't remember if I introduced myself in this forum yet....derp!
