Some of the other animals at the Mini Farm got a little pissy with me during feeding time for not making the morning blog post.

The couple of days I got home before dark I was able to do some work on the rain water harvesting system.Even though I had one in place, it was a make shift system and I was loosing many, many gallons of water every time it rained.Plus I did not have a "First Flush" system in place to catch the contaminates before it dumped into the tanks.What contaminates you ask, after all it's clean rain water right?My house like most is an asphalt shingled roof and every time it rains some of the&n

Here's the big boy.This is the rooster that can't figure out heads from tails. He is a big beautiful rooster that should be doing his job. It will hard to replace him if he doesn't straighten up. I am ordering a couple more roosters in the same breed and with different colors but it will be a year before they are ready.

It's that time again.Last time I made a batch of powder laundry soap and it worked really well. It did not last as long as I wished it would have for the amount of product used, but never the less it worked.This time I decided to go with a tried and true method that many of y'all already use. It is the Duggar's favorite soap recipe. It can be found at Duggar Liquid Laundry SoapThis recipe makes 10 gallons of soap and around 640 loads for a front load machine. I would have to make three

For this post, I am just focusing on one months electricity use to continuity run the devices and re-setting)I lear

Last weekend The Mini Farm had customers. It was good to sell some animals and start having income from the farm once again.After last years disasters, it has been a steady climb back up a slippery hill.
