#GMnostr pretty day starting off here in #Missouri! Got 5 horses visiting... And their Amish owners, putting gutters on the shop finally as well as a second downspout on the back of the house. Got the 4" drain tubing to move the water away from the shop and the patio. One day I plan to switch to rain catchment, but for now this is the plan. Sounds like I mauly be able to get a 15,000 concrete cistern delivered and installed for aroung $5-6k, so a goal for the future along with the solar array getting installed! #homesteading 😊

#GMnostr #beestr Am excited that in about 2-3 weeks will be arriving flat packed kits for 2 more hives and 2 large swarm traps! At $350/hive and $80 per trap, I can barely buy the materials now to make them for that price! Each kit is CNC cut and includes frames, doors, etc. Everything but the stainless wire to string the frames and the tin sheeting for the roof flashing. Plus, made out of cabinet grade plywood, so should all have a tight fit and look really nice. I will try to post pics of the builds... 😁 #honeythread

#GNnostr #frens pretty sunset tonight in Missouri!

#GMnostr #homesteading Well, the pallets are supposed to self multiply on a farm is what I was told, but had to bring in another stack of them. Luckily, the town is glad to bring me woodchips... Just two dumptruck loads is enough for now, but he offered another 10-20 when desired! LOL

#GMnostr #truckstr First delivery in Indiana, on my last day with this company! Next week brings changes, so hopefully we can once again have chickens! ❤😁

#GNnostr #permies #homesteading second burn of the biochar retort... Beautiful to see it burn at night! Feel a bit easier about no fires since wife already started a grass fire earlier and blackened all around here. Sadly, it also got into about 10 rows of saplings planted last year, so we'll see how many survive... 😮🙄😥 Here are a few bones and partial deer skull to cook tonight. A couple large ribs, leg bones and shoulderblades too!

#homesteading #GMnostr #frens Having had 50-60+ weather the last several daysvor more, today has gotten chilly and suppised to have about 10F lows the next two days or so before returning to 60-70+! Oh boy... 🙄😜😂

#GMnostr #homesteading #Missouri after a second burn, the soon to be #biochar looks excellent, very high quality! Still neefs crushing and charging, for innoculation, but I am very stoked! Also, last night, we did a presentation on natural #beekeeping before the county's council, the University of Missouri Extension folks, and some local bank officials, plus over Zoom our districts MO state representative! Very erll received, new contacts made, and even have info coming about some Hives For Heroes program ran by the U of M (I think!) 😁
