Rob
I've been subscribed for years. Been out of touch now and then, but I remember when you were doing wicking barrels and even had a video of your daughter playing a drum on your playlist. Not financially able to contribute now. I was laid off a few months back. Really tight right now. Been growing food all along though. You're a big inspiration.
It's a very strange world when you feel the need to apologize for this type, standard , quality of video.
I don't feel there was any need.
I enjoyed it a lot
I guess at the end of the day, I'd say just do what you feel like doing, how you want to do it.
The ones that don't like it don't have to watch but the ones that do watch are then seeing you how you are.
At the end of the day that's what we viewers are here for.
Looking good. The chickens should be happy with their house. I find it hard to believe that anyone would be offended by the content that you two have been putting here. Great job! And more people should reuse previously used materials as that is better than tossing them. 😀👍
It's always good to see how you re-use and re-purpose things. We've been enjoying the blog style reports where you and Bianca share what you've been doing.
Hope to have another one up very soon.
Loving the updates..JACK 🤣Everything takes time. Cleaning up rubbish off a property and the house needed work too. So you've both done well in a short period of time.🐔🐔🐔
Thanks Anna. 👍
Finally got the driveway mowed/cleared for the first time yesterday.
Cheers & have a fantastic rest of the week. 😁
Great Rob this is where I started with the Aquaponics. I am still going to start a system when I can take care of it every day
G'Day
That black mesh looks like oyster netting.
Don’t worry about the hater’s! You need to keep Jack the wonder dog safe
Ah man I’ve pondered this for so bloody long, one or two channels…
One is probably the way to go.
The channel can evolve with you, and that’s absolutely fine!
💯 old master chef sensi.
That curry looked like num nums.🤙
@@TG.34295 mate! I’m looking forward to a second serving hahahah
Might actually get some vids up now there is only one for full length vids. I have these new fangled buckets I should be using.....🤔 Might just have to break them out once the chook house is sorted.
Hope all's well with you Mitch.
@@RobsAquaponics 😂
Wisdom teeth have just healed. It’s been a ride hahahah
All is well now.
You may have the inconvenience of a hooch soon though.
Would love to do a collab property tour (just so I can sticky beak)
@@Hoocho gumboots and water-wings are desperately needed...
If folks don't like seeing a "despatched animal" as we used to call them, they really shouldn't be watching a farming channel. Just a thought. 😊
You two are living my childhood! Raised chicken coops to take monsoons, snakes, goannas, dogs, etc away from the chooks, stringing fences - buy the fencing tool, get the job done properly first time. And never feel a need to explain making stuff from items you have. I was raised with the "make do and mend" attitude, as were my folks, their parents, etc... I've taught it to my hubby, teaching it to my kids. If you have the resources, even if that wasn't their original function, use them. Less waste, less costs (being frugal is not a bad thing), and if you follow it all the way - less of being the reason more natural resources are taken and less polution to manufacture new items. Don't just live sustainably, live environmentally sustainably. 😊 It's how I got my CR name. All the best to you both! ❤ Janis.
Always nice to start with a clean canvas. Good score with the fencing material. I love those kind of deals. 👍
Cheers guys, anyone with some farm experience knows that you make it happen with what is on hand.
Cheers Harold. 😁
You both are getting so much done. I am almost at year 2 and just getting the garden sorted!
I love your channel and the progress you’ve made on the property. 💕
A couple of 2x4s, some bolts and a short length of chain work great for stretching fence. You can hook it to your 4-wheeler, or use a come-a-long for finer control. If you have solidly placed and braced corner posts, the latter works particularly well.
I'm glad you have decided on just one channel.
Cheers Janice.
When I was around 6 years old, I found a small birds egg and played with it. It also "exploded" all over me. Till today that has been the worst smell I have ever witnessed, it's still etched into my brain. I can imagine your situation and the gagging. Haha.
"Many a mickle, makes a muckle." Even if progress isn't where you desire it to be at, you're (Plural) still advancing and it's good progress in my opinion. Well done.
Love the story rob & B 👍
Wondered if you'd get much stick over the fox. It does some folks good to see reality vs the dream. I suspect good choice on the channels.
Have used the 2 timber post and 2bolts ( timber pieces same length as wire with a chain from end to end) for many years always worked well for us. Great to hear from you both.
Cheers fort that Kerry. I've heard a few folks say that's all they use.
Have a fantastic week.
Jackie❤❤❤
Thanks Rob and Bianca for the update..
I knew once I set the seed Bianca would like my idea of a pig trap. Lol...
A great idea to use the cage as a lets get started roost..
As for the nay sayers about the feral problem not only on you farm but on every farm in Australia.. get off you arm chairs and go out to a rral farm. See how hard farmers are doing. How much loss they have due to feral problems..
Again thank you both for sharing ...
Oh and yes Rob twas my idea about the pig trap....
Have a wonderful week...❤
Thought it was mate. 😉👍 Haven't put the bait out to bring the dog in yet. Will wait until the weather clears up a bit.
Cheers & have a top one mate.
Feral as in abandoned domestic animals or wild, non domesticated animals?
@@Sue-ec6un both.. even the 2 legged type..
That's a rare chook with teeth and it even lays green funny shaped eggs 😁
😂 Also tends to eat rotten eggs if left in the nest too long. 🤢
love your story mate :)
Glad to hear that you're able to focus on one channel. The content is not that different that it needs to be divided up. Playlist organization should take care of people being able to find things.
Thanks again TWP. 😁
glad to see you guys happy and enjoying it
Great decision guys one channel will keep you both hopping along with all the work around the property. Seeya Rob.....with the pig trap/chicken coup if and when it does become a pig trap, maybe weld some rails on the bottom so you can just drag it around with the ute instead of physically picking it up and putting it in the trailer.
Hit that thumbs 👍
Go with straining off the Ute it will hold it taught will you fix it.
take everything slow life is not meant to rushed....
Yep. I've been getting tension headaches again but have started to nip them in the bud before they grow into full blown migraines.
Hope you folks are doing well.
@@RobsAquaponics please take care, life is to enjoy not to rush through, we are learning is out old age .. whoops pre-old age. Yes you have times in life you need to push through but remember stop and smell the roses ((not the bad eggs) )when you can.
Chook Hilton 😂 they're going to have it pretty good there
In Perth we have had 1.2mm in april.
We are in the wheatbelt and i dont think we have even gotten that 😭 we got absolutely none of the belting storms that hit NOP the other week
🤙🤙
How did you deal with the fox - I lost 8 chickens probably due to fox(es). Had 28mm overnight and November last year complaining about the lack of rain! Now had enough of it...
🤙
👍👍
INTERESTING video.
The rethinking and adaptation of your designs to all of the rude shocks that reality throws at you, is, I would suggest, the fundamental underpinning process behind building any farm/business with integrated design elements.
No doubt you both know this, better than me...I'm just saying this in response to the suggestion that this sort of content was disappointing/not interesting due to you not imediately presenting a display farm of sure-fire successes.
It would be less relevant and interesting to me if you had millions to quickly build some imagined perfect design, and the financial leeway to absorb the cost of some of the inevitable, big, failures that that would entail.
Most of US, like you, don't have unlimitted resources with which to build our own bit of paradise, particularly if it has to pay its way, and so a window into your thought processes, is pretty damned valuable. Thanks.

Feral animals do so much damage to native animals, pets and farm animals. We had neighbours who lost alpaca pets to feral dogs (our chook house is a fortified ex-cubby house), and we are not far out of a city. As a country we really do need to actually do the hard work of reducing the feral animal populations.
Is any animal that is not controlled by humans 'feral' over there? Or stray?
@@Sue-ec6un Feral and stray are two seperate categories. Stray is someone's lost pet, feral refers to wild populations of domesticated and wild species, mostly invasive and destructive. Some have been released into the wild, like foxes, birds, rabbits, horses or camels in order to have a wild population to hunt or build up a harvestable population. Some have been abandoned into the wild, like pigeons, dogs, cats, pigs. They all are destructive to the native fauna and flora, and the domesticated species in particular suffer from diseases and malnutrition as they are not meant to be wild with zero wild predators to maintain their population.
So how do you know the difference between a feral dog and a neighbors pet that wanders onto, what used to be friendly territory?
I would hate to live in Australia...
Why? Australia is a beautiful country! 😊
Australia is a beautiful country. But one would hope the property owner would first check before shooting and finding out whether neighbouring properties have a dog/s that may have gone walkabout and alert the owners.
rob your billionaire , the cities are prison not far from putting people in pods to live., keep it up .
