Cover Crops and Forage

Field planted to peas and radishes as a cover crop and winter forage for livestock, and a few other photos from around the place.
Paddock Shed
Posted on May 8, 2012
I repurposed my first moveable paddock shed on sleds, so I built a new one. This one has open walls for breeze and more shade area for the sheep. The goats don’t use them much, unless it rains. The sheep don’t mind the rain, but like to have some shade. Simple and low cost, using mostly salvaged lumber and metal.
Ripping timbers on the bandsaw. The timbers were roughed out with the chainsaw 2 years ago from some salvaged cypress logs.
Traditional clamp.
Cypress and 2×4′s

Life to the Brim
Posted on April 23, 2012
To reflect the holistic nature of living and studying in the School of the Transfer of Energy, I will begin posting some images of my labors in husbandry and garden farming in addition to the woodwork, painting and printmaking which has been the primary subject of this blog. There is an abundance of new life on our place, called New Boaz by some: lambs, kids, ducklings, chicks, kittens, and plenty of vegetation in a land reviving from drought.
