    I use the cap for when my chickens make a mess and pull a bunch of feed out on to the ground. It locks them out so they have to eat all the food off the ground.

    Much appreciation from a city boy here , only drank well water in summer at my PAA's farm in N.C. Hydronic HVAC Installations , we also put a magnetic strip or siphon before your spun filter sometimes depending on what equipment we are installing. As you are probably familiar with high iron in well water . I bet you could create one yourself to go on your 3/4 " pvc system. Just another layer of protection/maintenance for ya to mess with. We also put ultra violet on air systems. They have shown high quality air conditioning, so I believe in them . A charcoal treatment is another add on thats good on taste, which I believe you could create also . Enjoyed your post, thanks for sharing.

    Min 2:57 this a fire pit for the barbecue. In my country (Argentina) its call "Parrilla" and we make the barbecue (asado) only with charcoal or very dry and hard wood. And the room where this parrilla is we call it "Quincho" that is an open or closed (attached to the house) space to place the grill to make the barbecue.

    @Dinkyjean1 2 месяца назад

    What did you use for your cover crop? Nice to see aomeone besides me using the metal wayer tanks as brooders!! I strt them in the basement in those at a day old and at 1-2 weeks old I move them to an outside shed then when the size is right I move them to a house with a yard that has a roof over it. We have issues with hawks, racoons, foxes, area dogs & coyotes. So all of our yards foe pouktry are made from 6’ heavy duty chainlink. I wrap 24” tall 1/2” squares hardware cloth/rabbit wire around the inside of all poultry fences and place barn tin under the fences with about 6-8” on the inside and the rest on the outside and weighted down with concrete blocks. I let our chickens free range when I am home after all my indoor stuff is done so I can keep an eye on them. Otherwise they get fruit, veggie & meat scraps that have been diced up along woth the steady feeders & waterers when they stay locked up due to weather or no one being home. We have lost to many burds to different predators. Biggest predator we have had with chicks under 8-12 weeks old ((depending on breed)) has been snakes. Black snakes, king snakes, cooperheads & rattlers have all be caught in the chick shelters and in the hen houses eatin eggs. I hope you never wxpweiwnce the venimous ones in your chicken houses. Their bites have killed many a good layin hen.

    • @Grazing-M-Acres
      @Grazing-M-Acres 2 месяца назад

      I always use a mixed crop for cover crops. It consists of cereal rye (NOT rye grass), red clover (which they love), purple top turnips, tillage radishes, buck wheat, and a few other things. So far, we haven't had any predator problems. the tall forage hid them really well, and the 8 joules on the electric fence keeps everything out. It would probably keep a bear out!.

    When full, that IBC is going to weigh 2300 lbs (275 x 8.34 lbs)! The wood stand was just put on ground, I think. So, I'm wondering, once it rains and the ground gets softer, are the wooden posts going to settle into the earth with all that weight on them? What was your experience now that it's been there awhile?

    • @Grazing-M-Acres
      @Grazing-M-Acres 3 месяца назад

      The stand holds the weight with no problem. I wouldn't be afraid to put a lot more weight on it. Down there where the pigs are is a wet spring, so it stays soft most of the time. I haven't noticed it sinking, but I thought I put 4" cap blocks under the posts.
