The Halfway Homestead
Добавлен 3 мар 2016
Here we share our experiances as we leave the city and learn to live a more self sustaining, homesteading lifestyle. From growing food, raising animals and managing land, we have learned a ton and want to encourage you to do the same!
If we have ever given you any value at all, please watch. Thanks in advance.
Miss you all, sorry we have been gone.

Keep putting vids out like these man.
I like your videos and what you're doing. And I sympathize with the stress and problems you're going through. And I pray, in Jesus name, that you be healed of your cognitive issues. Be blessed. ❤
Thanks!
Azzolla and duckweed is actuallt berter. You can dry it in pellet it. Just have to set it up
Yeah I found out about that hole saw kickback when I did my first ever hole drill through hardie board (sheet concrete basically). I had the drill on high torque because it wouldn’t spin on low. It was also on the max power mode and I was on a ladder and holding the drill one handed so I could brace myself against the wall with the other. That shit about snapped my wrist in two, dislocated my shoulder and flipped me off the ladder like Mortal Kombat. That was when I learned to put the handle on your drill if it has one and brace with both hands… and put some ass behind it all or you can really get hurt. I was ok- and actually funny enough I just used a 4” one today to cut some exterior flood light holes. Did it the right way because I’m now experienced enough to know that if you don’t learn your lesson the first time, the second one tends to help it sink in more.
The large Japanese text merely says " Stainless steel " ;)
Hi I came across your video. It is July 2024. How are your confer plants doing? And Question: have you found that by using a coffee filter at the bottom of your pots molds at all. I hear about this trick and have used it on occasion but I just don’t know about end results. Any info would be helpful thanks.
Very inexpensive, but I see a problem that my chickens have. The picks of the 4 chickens will be too close, and one of my chickens whose name is Napster, picks the other chickens, she wants to eat without company, so the others have to go away and come back later, but in the morning, they are all hungry. So this DIY will not work for me. I need dividers inside so the 4 chickens do not see each other while feeding.
Ok, what I did is take a dollar store plastic bowl and put it inside my bucket. You may have to cut the bowl to size. Then I marked a line at the top of the bowl. I used a door bolt or door knob drill bit to cut about 10 holes in the bucket above the level of the bowl. The bowl in the bucket is the key. Keeps the feed available to the chickens. I put a center column in the bowl made from a large water bottle and screwed it to the bottom of the bowl. Holes in the bottom of the inner water bottle allow feed to go into the bowl. No waste. Put lid on bucket and an upside down large circular pan on that to create a drip line to keep out rain water. Probably need to do a video.
I would like to know the particular name for seeds you plant for comfrey Please.
😅i used a jig saw. Then i heat gunned the pvc to fold the bottom of the opening up to retain chicken food from spilling out. On my channel
Saw on another RUclips channel: those elbows have male and female end. They cut off either one end or the other. Figure it out. Put the angled part inside and other outside (insert male into female, with bucket wall in between! Voila!
Melt the bump with soldering iron?
We have been waiting for that to happen.
You’re doing great! Looking forward to seeing more videos :)
Thanks! Planning any spring projects?
I love tje movie references. Please keep going. God bless you and your family.
Thank you! You too!
I am new to your channel, but I am behind you. I will try amd do everything I can.
Thanks for commenting, just sharing or watching our videos is plenty!
Thanks much. Great video. I read through many of the comments. Many great suggestions. I used a grinder with sanding wheel to grind the nubs back to smaller nubs. Elbows squeezed in nicely and the remaining, small nubs hold the elbows in tightly. No need for caulk. One extra step, now that the elbows go in further, they are too long and run into each other inside the bucket. Cutting about an inch off of two of them (opposite facing) fixes this. Thanks again!
Thanks, glad it helped!
One more thought… I need to make one more bucket feeder. This time I’ll make the holes higher by an inch so I don’t have to shorten the elbows. The longer elbows make for neater chickens.
The baby ducks jumping on momma chickens back is incredible. Love it. Hope they are doing well.
Glad you enjoyed!
Works great. Thanks
Thanks!
Thanks. I plan to grow some on our new land where we will establish our orchard.
What kind of orchard are you planning?
Excellent!!! Thanks for sharing :)
Thanks Bill!
Excellent video. Excellent content. Much appreciated. 👍
Thanks Mark!
Thanks for the precious info
My pleasure
Hey your video is quite interesting. I am thinking of implementing it. Just one issue, i have a lot of rat, and once they smell all the feed, it will be their party. How can i stop that?
Only feed what your chickens will eat.
Hold between your legs? 🤔 What if drill run off and cut your legs bad 🤭
Great, thanks for sharing! Ready to start up with ducks soon!
Those 45* elbows are $7 each now!
Ya, unfortunately when we print money... Sorry!
Any other perennial duck feeds you can recommend?
funny to think about... $15 total then. 2023 those fittings are $8+ each.
Street has a male and female end, it's for connecting fitting to fitting without using pipe between.
like do people happily ignore that comfrey contains pyrrolizidine alkaloids which can yeriously damage livers? which means its poisonous?
U gonna must up a trashcan
Thats great info thanks!
Lol 😂
I hope the duck makes it.
:)
Shiver it on through and it locks elbow in.
HELLO ARE YOU GUYS STILL TRYING TO HELP OUT WITH EDITING. I KNOW IM LATE TO THE PARTY BUT I FIGURED IT WAS WORTH A SHOT. ITS KICKING MY BUTT RIGHT NOW. WERE TRYING TO START A SMALL HOMESTED CHANNEL AS WELL
So where do you get it
3 years old not sure if you still use this method, but I’ve found with the hard plastic 55 gallon drums you can just force those nubs of the elbow in. Bonus perk is it locks them in and them suckers ain’t goin anywhere.
Hello. I'm new here & have a question about your ducks. Do you raise them to sell. Consume or just for the eggs?
Careful with comfrey! It’s illegal to take orally in the US for a reason (carcinogens) Topically, it’s great!
My chickens won't touch the stuff
Comfrey has liver toxins in it. Good idea not to feed it to chickens and ducks.
If you put the elbows in a plastic 55 gallon drum it will work better bub...
I just made my new feeder because the goats rammed my first one. I have had chicks get stuck in the PVC pipe before, so look out for that if you have chicks.
FYI "street" elbow just means one side is male and one side is female. They come in 45 and 90 other angles as well. Nice video!
Hello- Has this method stop or reduce the lose of chicken feed since you have done this? I am looking for another method of a gravity feeder.
