Note – I am running a rewind today for a few reasons.  One is that the new ducks are coming in either tomorrow or Thursday and I need to get everything ready. Additionally  I have to go out to Granburry to buy some stock tanks to plumb into our aquaponics system this weekend.  Normally this is a much shorter trip but someone out there bought all the 100 gallon tanks at my Tractor Supply, and you know who you are LOL. I also need to get all the new stands built for that system this week and need some more … Continue reading →

I have done some really advanced stuff with agriculture and permaculture over the years but I realized it has been a long time since I have done something totally devoted to a true beginner.  The person looking at a patch of ground and a back porch and just wanting a garden and some of their own food on their own table.
