Barncast 72 — Using your Lawn as Pasture

Filed under: Podcast, Computers, Animal Feed, Pasture, Fencing — andrew at 7:36 pm on Sunday, June 24, 2007

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 16 — Grunt grunt, what file?

Filed under: Podcast, Chores, Podcasting, travel, Fencing, Internet, Knitting — andrew at 2:24 pm on Monday, May 29, 2006

Well, Misty’s out of town this week so we tried to record another double ender. Except it didn’t work, so you get the audio from my end instead. Which means it sounds like Misty’s in a tin can. This weeks podcast covers:

  • Misty’s travels
  • Internet access on the road and at home
  • How not to move the portable fencing
  • Chores alone
  • Misty’s afghan. It’s done after 1.5 years!
  • Send us feed back! gfl@three-elms.com

I hope everyone enjoys the show. As Dave from Chub Creak pointed out to me, we made the top page of the podcast section at yahoo. I don’t know how long it’ll be up, but check it out. Interestingly enough it hasn’t really changed the download stats. I dunno if that says anything about us and our listeners, or more about yahoo?

I hope everyone has a good week. Next week Misty will be back and we’ll have a more normal podcast, but maybe we’ll have it outside? What did you think?
