The chickens are settling in
I noticed that the chickens have found a new favorite spot for hanging around: Here is a bit wider view with some artificial lighting to get a better sense of the whole coop: They have a ground level, a ladder to climb up to a loft, and apparently they also like to hang out in…
Sewage tank prefilter
This was an idea Praew and I came up with. We will be experimenting with slow sand filters to treat the grey water sewage before using it for watering plants and realized we should filter for any loose hair or whatever that gets down the drain so it doesn’t clog the pump. Therefore, before the…
