Well, today I am supposed to be researching the PECK water system, used in place of traditional copper plumbing.
Anyone have it ?
If so, please e-mail me & tell me how you like it.
We have seen it installed in a few homes years ago...and decided next time (which is now) to give it a try.
Takes far less time to install, and costs far less than copper.
I am also not a fan of copper water pipes....too much copper in the water.
I also am not a fan of PVC for water pipes, so the PECK system tubing is supposed to be safe from leaching chemicals.
Now, to learn what is needed for it..................

My parents installed PEX piping in their cabin a few years ago. It's flexible, doesn't get buildup in it, and stands up to freezing better than pretty much anything else which is good up in the mountains. They absolutely love it. When we get around to redoing the pipes here, we'll be running PEX as well. That flexibility is just awesome and don't need all the bends and it's easy to use since no soldering.

There's Scratch & Peck feed which is milled in Bellingham, grown in WA, and is whole grain, non-GMO, and *maybe?* just recently certified organic. I used to buy it at Reber Ranch (cheapest around) or Seattle Farm Supply, which is technically in Shoreline, right off I-5 (exit 175???). HTH!

Russ, here is an interesting thing a friend in the mid west does to suppliment her feed in winter:
She makes chicken "Silage"
She uses several new garbage cans, adds 2 contractor bags, and fills the cans with lawn clippings, crushed leaves and tosses in a few scoops of scratch in between each layer.
She folds the bags over in between additions and holds them down with 2-3 heavy cinder blocks.
Once full, she ties the inner bag off, then the outter & stacks them in a shady area.
In winter, she opens a bag & scatters the silage in each pen for the birds to enjoy in winter.
The grains will sprout, she says, and the birds just love it !
I have no bagger on my lawn tractor now, but next spring I intend to get one & do this silage thing.

This is a really good idea, I'm going to have to give this a try. Thanks for sharing!
