Crow Proofing Bockalot Village



The green crop in this picture is wheat at about 6 and 1/2 weeks growth.

Today I found 2 crows exiting the chook shed with eggs in their beaks.  With blood boiling I stormed to the shed and dragged out the tools as well as a few of the panels from the old pen.  Then I set about making a small inner enclosure that can be moved back and forth in front of the little shed's door.  Hoping this will resolve the crow problem, while providing an added bonus of fox proofing.

Making a Worm Farm

I have spent today hunting for various components I needed to make this worm farm.  Once all was in hand, I returned home and got to work with the drill and ta da.. A fully functional worm farm with a tap in the lower tub that allows me to get the worm tea without lifting the top two tubs off.  I am also pretty stoked that I have been asked to make these for local pre schools and teach the kids how to use them.  One small step in recycling, One big step in educating the next generation.
