What am I looking at?

It looks like a portable sprayer. Let's see if I'm correct lol

You're right, King!
I used it to spray the driveway weeds

When the eel swims on by and maybe bites your eye, that's

When I first heard the song, "That's Amore," I tried to figure out why they were singing about eels.

My potato fields )

The beds are first dug up, then old goat manure is poured there, holes are made, potatoes are put, sprinkled with sand, and a little later, so that there are no midges from manure (so that they do not spoil the potatoes), it must be sprinkled with cooled wood ash. This is my way.
There is a large distance between the beds - because in the future I will probably plant gooseberries or currants on these lines, and I will plant potatoes in another place. Potatoes often travel around my site, I plant them in one place, then in another.

Wow ! Last year i was planting in about a week , This year it's so wet and hardly any sun so not sure when i will be planting ........but your gardening looks amazing

I don't use herbicides. My weed killer is goats and geese. I tear out the grass by hand and take it to them, they eat it. We have good, non-poisonous grass.
Sometimes I get tired and then I let the geese on the path, they come and pluck everything there themselves. But you can’t let them into the garden, because they pluck not only weeds )))

The soil here is heavy and clayey, if planted in it, potatoes will not yield a crop, i.e. it can be harvested by volume exactly as much as it was planted (by weight). But if you make such bulk beds from old manure, sand and ash, then potatoes grow quite well. It’s customary here, we don’t use herbicides, and in order to suppress the growth of weeds in some places where something is planned in the future (flowers, trees, bushes), we plant potatoes there for 1-2 years. The soil is loose and well dug up.
Sometimes it makes sense to drive with a cultivator, but I'm too lazy to do it, I usually get by with just planting potatoes. In addition, the old bedding from the stables is replete with rotten hay, it can wrap around the cultivator mechanisms, which is inconvenient. But potatoes grow well in such a bed, there is even a way to plant potatoes under old hay.
The only incidental detail is that my goats often eat barley and oats, they are not always completely digested in their stomachs, and then these grains begin to germinate in this manure. Considering that chickens often spill wheat, it turns out that the main weeds in the garden are wheat, oats and barley))) I don’t weed them out, they start to ear and then goats eat them.
Due to the amount of grain, I have to periodically organize a war with rats that come from an abandoned garbage dump, located about 8-10 kilometers from my house. Previously, a lot of garbage was transported there from Moscow, then some minister decided to stop this business, some sorting plants were built, and there was less garbage. Unfortunately, Moscow produces a lot of garbage.
When they stopped bringing new garbage to the landfill, the rats became very upset and began to ply the neighboring villages in search of food. I had to catch them, poison them and even shoot them. Now the situation with rats has become calmer, there are either almost none, or very few. I hope this will continue, because I want to sow sunflowers, and rats love to eat them more than anything.
