A fellow on another forum recognized it. It's a fire sprinkler emergency shutoff tool, used by firemen. It's supposed to include a small clip on the handles that keeps it locked open, you can see it...

Found this tool in an old barn on my neighbor's property before they tore it down. This was always farm land, so it's likely something to do with farming. It's brass or bronze, the handle is spring...

Has anyone used a backpack leafblower as a vacuum to pickup manure? I'd like to make something like this pasture vacuum but mount the vacuum on a wheelbarrow.

A month or so ago I asked on several forums whether anyone had used any of the horse waterers I found online that didn't require electricity. I didn't get any feedback, and after researching things...

After reading info on these sites, found a pair of digital binoculars that have the advantage of not being damaged by bright light and can be used as regular binoculars.

Know anything about these?

That's slick, don't understand how it can work without batteries. Something has to be driving an amplifier, no?
Anyway, that's a very informative site with lots of good info.
thanks

Looking for a pair of night vision binoculars so we can see the horses at night and watch all the critters out in the back field. Lots of brands and models to choose from, very confusing. Does anyone...

I have a torch that's about 12 years old and I need a few new tips. Sears doesn't carry them, does anyone know who made these torches, or where I can get tips that fit it?
thanks

This year we have some powdery mold on the shady portions of our lawn. Is this stuff toxic to horses? We occasionally let them graze the grass around the house.
thanks

Good point, I forgot to mention my house is already built. The house is in an area of very porous rock and gravel as deep as you can dig, there are many quarries in the area. So our sump pump has...

I got it at Walmart, $20 for enough to do my trees.

This is a tree question rather than gardening, but it's not clear what forum it belongs in so:
We have bronze borers in our 2 white birches. I got a price from a tree place that was very expensive....

You don't need to ground it. In fact, if you did it may attract MORE lightning. Check out Denningers site.
