The pen will end up being about a 12 x 15 area. Just tried to get enough done to get them out of my dining room. Any pics from far back so we can see the overall of it? |

Not today. Kids were screaming for me to hurry so we could go swimming. Try to get them tomorrow and hopefully get the run finished too.
You can see the edge of the garden right past the chickens in the last picture. |

The feeder design is still going strong, and I wouldn't trade it for a commercial feeder for nothin. I stole this one from TRG some years ago. |

Plumbers and similar folk....
I need more water pressure. The problem is that there is a small line coming from the water main. Would it make more sense to install a cistern and a pump? The cost of running 500 yards of larger line would probably be insane, and I figure the cistern would make a nice prep backup in case the water is off. Eventually we plan to have a deep well put in. |

I think it could work. Or if nothing else get some barrels and put them up the hill from it. Fill the barrels and basically network them together. Then run your garden line from the bottom one. Granted by the time I got done building it you could probably just add the bigger line from the meter. I might have a tendency to overdo stuff a bit

I think you could do it with cinder blocks on a concrete pad. Tie all together with rebar and concrete in the block. Spray inside with rhino liner and plumb a pipe out the bottom. Makes sense in my head and other than the rhino lining should be able to do by yourself. Fill it with your water hose from the house since you aren't as concerned about speed on filling it up.
Might even backfill against it to add further support from blowout if the pressure got too much. |

Garden has been fixed.
Pics in a few minutes. The wife also found a 5' box blade for $250. Tractor don't run, but for that price, I'll stick it in the shed. Backstory on the upside down tomato plant cages.
When the raised beds were originally installed, the beds were only 6" deep, and I didn't till under, so there was hard compacted rock under it. The cages didn't have enough depth to stand on their own. So... like any bud light drinking redneck from AL, I flipped them over, and steaked them in.
I forgot that wasn't necessary this year.
