Found this out at permies.com
I like the sounds of the birds calling at the end even if it does happen at to early an hour for the person doing the filming. The birds make better neighbours than the party all night and throw empty bottles of Crown Royal and baggies on my front yard that I had in Schenectady, NY.
Gourds
My order for bushel gourds and loofah sponge gourd seeds arrived in the mail today. If even half of what I bought for seeds this year comes up I’ll be amazed.
And a couple pictures of loofah gourds.140 to 200 days of grow time so I may never see anything from these but they look interesting.
An electric tractor

Another tractor by the same designer.
Joel Salatin, Folks this ain’t Normal
I found this on Permies.
A small circular Hugelkulture bed design. I found this on the forums at Permies.com from a guy by the name of Chris Dean. I like the look of it and he used a rough cob to hold it all together. The center is an area to dump compost and water. I think I could incorporate this into my stone wall fence project with one or two on the low part of the yard.
I think the hardest part will be filling this with dirt, since all I have are my hands and a few small tools.
Below is a breakdown of how it is built, materials vary but it gives a good general idea.
Green Bean trellis made from jute and some poles from around the yard.
