Yeah, I've eaten it many times, it's just so much easier to be able to buy it without the hassle of shipping it.

I like what you are doing up there. I assume you have read "Omnivores Dilemma" by...

Do you sell your pork locally? Flying Pigs Farm is right up the road from you in Shushan (as you probably know). I wish they would sell at our local farmers market in Rhinebeck. That pork is a...

I'm looking to get some chickens for laying. My wife brought home some eggs from the farm where she rides, and now I am hooked. I would like to build them a nice henhouse and enclosed yard, but also...

Ah, that all makes sense...I assume if I go with somelike like poly pipe, which is smoother and more rigid, that I can expect less pressure loss...

I'm not trying to be a wiseguy here, but why does the length of hose matter? If water isn't compressible, once it fills the hose, shouldn't the pressure be the same no matter where it's measured?

Super...now all I have to do is find one on ebay... /forums/images/icons/smile.gif

Thanks for the input. Do you use the pump to pull water from a pond also? Does the strainer that comes with the pump do a good job of keeping trash from the pump (and ultimately the sprinkler heads)?

I dont even know...its about 1/3 of an acre all told. I figure based on the shape of things that I would need 4 sprinkler heads with a 30 foot watering radius. Most of the pumps I have seen online...

In my post I mentioned that the garden is about 20 feet above and 200 feet away from the nearest pond. I would need something to connect the pump to the sprinkler. What is the best way to do that?...

I would rather go with a gasoline pump. It's just more versatile and portable, not to mention I don't want to string 300 feet of cable out there.

Anyone have some hints on piping?

I dont think it is cheesy at all re-using cartons from other eggs farms. Quite a few people around here do it, and we really don't need any more eggs cartons floating around. Sure, they are...

We have a decent sized garden/orchard area that I would like to irrigate. Right now I am pulling hoses from the house about 150 feet. The pressure is unimpressive and often my well runs low (when I...

Yeah, a soil test sounds like a great idea, and it is something I should do anyway. My one concern with a soil test, as far as the wood chips go, is that the test may not show FUTURE nitrogen...

I have an area of my yard that had a lot of woodchips on it. I've removed as much as I could, but there are still a bunch of half decomposed chips mixed with soil. I would like to plant here, but I'm...
