Geek.Farm.Life

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

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.

Well it was supposed to be a short show, but it turned into a long one. Oh well! Back in episode 31 we talked about dehydrating food for winter. We’re now well into using that food so in the farm section we review what worked, what didn’t, and how to make it tasty. Other topics include:

• Wet weather
• Farm Phone, 4 calls! 206-202-GOAT
• Geek Section: Archos PMA intro, and telescope question
• Round up, and more wet weather
• Farm Section, rehydration
• Life Section

I hope you like this weeks show. Make sure to give the Farm Phone a ring or leave a comment!
