Do you have trouble with salt in you stream or fresh water sources? Gene No, but further down I expect there's some incursion at high tide.

Simple: Buy a new one. I have a little plastic Homelite 2-stroke powered pump that I use to pull water out of the stream to water the garden when it gets dry. Had it for years, a little slow but works good. wg1.jpg wg2.jpg Hauled it out Tuesday as things were getting dusty and spent an hour trying t...

Small Time Operator. fill.jpg The State DOT cleaned out a ditch across the road from me, and I managed to get all the spoil - about 60 yards, more or less. 6 dump truck loads in any event. sto1.jpg I put the rock bucket (skeleton bucket) on the Cabota and used it to screen out the big chunks of root...

Due to age and predation, I'm down to 6 myself and get 3 eggs on a good day. I tried to convince Maw to let nature take it's course and get out of the chicken biz entirely, but she's not having it. A lady a couple of towns away turns over her flock every year and sells the 2 year old hens pretty rea...
