My 50x80 steal building with a cement floor is going to come in at about $110K. For 220K, we could get all of the wiring, lighting, 3 phase converter, HVAC, insulation and 16kW solar put in. I thought our building costs were high!

I carry a small 22 pistol with no. 12 bird shot filled shells. Nice for snakes and other things without the worry of a slug traveling to far.

I am looking at a small 50x80 metal barn. They can be pricey as well... :hu

Well hurry and get it done so I can start mine with those lower priced materials! :hide:smack

Thanks for all of the kind words!! If we have a rainy season this year, the weeds will show up in force. Not to bad for living in really dry climate. Temps still staying in the low 100s for the next 10 days...

Would I be considered old if I remember watching that episode on TV? :old

Got tired of bending over all the time! They are about 4' wide and 50' long. More on the other side of the house.

A set of peppers and a few tomato plants BEFORE that got trimmed! Been in the low 100s here and is going to continue for the next 10 days...

The people we know who raise them just keep them on their pasture. They do not root much if they have enough grass to eat. They also gain weight well on just the pasture.

Yes, I use it for my peppers and tomatoes. When planting I use a mixture of organic fertilizer (5-6-5) and Rock Phosphate in the hole. Then I put some Epsom Salt on the top of the bare ground and cover with wood mulch. Right before heavy fruiting season, I will top dress again with the...

Very nice hoop house! :love I am hoping to get some caterpillar tunnels so I can grow year round. Your place looks great.

You get up really early and try and get as much done by 10am-11am as you can. Sometimes I will get up way before sunrise and wear a very bright red light headband to see. I do not know how all of you with high humidity even go outside! (OK @Baymule, I am sure there is a zinger coming about...

I would really like to raise Water/River buffaloes, but we have zero standing water for them, plus our elevation is just at a mile high (5,200 feet) with very hot summers. But it is great to learn about them!

Couple of questions for the group. 1.) Has anyone ever started a CSA? If so, what are the things to watch out for? What software do you use? 2.) Are you a CSA member? If so, what do you like about it and what would you change to make it better? 3.) Has anyone started or used a Seed Library...

@Baymule, I am amazed you can grow anything in that fine sand! :bow We have had good luck with Zoysia grass (just not the Meyer variety known as Z-52). Seville St. Augustine is our go to as it will grow in sand or clay. We get that much rain in about a year, so I do not know if that would make...

I just use these (see below). They have really gone up this year. Paid $7 for them last year. Bought the store out of them. Will last me about 4 or 5 years in our harsh sun. https://www.harborfreight.com/search?q=soaker%20hose Yes, you can deep plant basil. Just like a tomato, you can...

I know the feeling of wanting water!! I would love to not have to worry about it every single year. We have been told that there will be no irritation water as of the middle/end of July, which means a lot of people are going to lose their fields. Have you tried chewing gum for the ground...
