The important stuff always happens in the Kitchen....

Yeah! Especially when it's goat milk related!!!

I know how happy it makes you to get that done!! And just in time! Your DH was balking at getting a pig because the neighbor doesn't want pigs around his property because of smell and flies. He said he was afraid of offending the neighbor and him not bringing his bobcat over to smooth things out. Looks like neighbor has brought the bobcat over for some frolic and play.......so you can get a pig now.......

Not gonna happen any time soon!

We're are wanting to get the planter boxes built and installed before it gets too cold.

Next comes the fencing, so we can let the goats out to browse.

Maybe THEN we can talk about getting a feeder pig.

So nice to have a neighbor with big power toys and no place else to play with them Nice work he got done on dry ground. Not so easy when saturated.

I have a friend with a big Bobcat, I admire what he can do with that thing. My mini Bobcat is good and does what I need most of the time but those big track layers just can't be beat. When I get rich...

Our neighbor used to have the smaller Bobcat. The one with wheels. He kept bogging down, and getting stuck, in the mud. So, he sold that one & bought this one. He has all the bells & whistles: AC in the cab, front brush hog, bucket, tree stump bucket, post hole auger.

He's already told us he will dig the post holes for our fencing (17+). And now that I know he has a brush hog, I'm hoping he will mow the property line, on the North side, so we can lay out the fencing.

My bobcat is a walk behind and I bought it to clean the barn. But I also bought the post hole digger and trencher and very very happy with both. Bobbi has earned her keep.

We have been saving paper feed sacks to put in the bottoms of all the boxes. If we run out, we also have a decent size roll of landscape fabric.

If those sacks are waterproof, wouldn't there be a concern of sogging up the soil during rainy weather?

 

[Devonviolet]

We only save paper bags. Most of them aren't waterproof. I think the sweet feed/dairy goat ration bags might have a plastic layer, but that can be peeled off. If not, we could poke holes in them. But, we will test them before we put the soil in the boxes.
