Barncast 72 — Using your Lawn as Pasture

2007/06/24 in Animal Feed, Computers, Fencing, Pasture, Podcast by andrew | 16 comments

This week we revisit an old topic, our portable electric fence. It’s been a little over a year since we started using it and I think we’ve learn a lot so we look at what mistakes we made and what worked well. We do a lot of review but if you’re new to show and want more about the fence check out some back episodes from last year when we talked about buying it and setting it up for the first time.

In this weeks show:

  • Rain update
  • Farm Phone 206-202-GOAT
  • Linda from chicago, all about strawberries and garlic
  • Geek Section: New Laptop
  • Round up: Quick round up
  • Farm Section: Electronet fencing after one year

    • Picture of the Week:

    Barncast 57 is all ready to go, but libsyn thinks we’re over quota. I can’t get the numbers to add up, but as soon as they fix it we’ll be up and ready to do.

    Episode #4

    2006/03/05 in Computers, Goats, Lifestyles, Podcast, Podcasting, travel by misty | 6 comments

    Here is episode 4, our first “double ender.” (That sounds so bad!)

    Andrew is in Edmonton, Misty is minding the homefront in Indiana.

    We talk about Gallery, our new webserver, a broken well pump, goat kids, city vs. country, an auto accident.

    It should be transparent to everyone, but the mp3 files are now being hosted on libsyn, but nothing else. I tried using ourmedia but my files vanished. If anyone has any problems please let us know.

    Hope you enjoy it!
