What did you do in the garden today?

But are they Makita? Contractor grade - built to last - those and DeWalt.

But I can't find new batteries for them locally and shipping for batteries go as high as $30.

It’s nail polish

I see. On closer look I appear to have jump the gun.

Living in Hawaii means each one of those probably costs about $50.00 each?

I get my beef bone broth from Amazon for $36.60 with free prime shipping and it can make 2.25 gallons of bone broth. I think it's worth it because the concentrate turns milky white when I add hot water to it and it taste just as good as homemade bone broth.

In comparison, I can buy frozen beef marrow bones locally for $10 a package and it takes 3 packages to make 1 gallon of milky bone broth.

I’m correct in assuming this is the work of a deer, right?

How big is your garden space? Last year I had presumably-deer munching my potatoes and I looped some tubing over my plants and clipped deer netting over it. Didn’t have issues with deer after that. Setup was fast, materials are all cheap and light weight. I’m just protecting a few garden boxes though, and nothing in them was particularly tall.

Yeah, we’ll probably debate putting up a fence. In the eight years we’ve lived here, I’ve seen deer four times in the neighborhood, and only once did I see a doe in the yard, a couple years ago. Fingers crossed it doesn’t come back…

The deer I've dealt with have a circuit. They might be 2 neighbors up the road munching corn or the next road over in the grain field but they come back around. Depending on the size of the population determines the range of each deer's circuit. YMMV

Update on the chicks that are now deceased. It was my favorite pullet and my sweetest cockerel.
