Also ... please, don't come over here comparing everything to the UK , a lot of Europeans do and honestly it's just f***ing annoying .... O and ask what's in something or what something is before you get it , I've had a lot of friends from across the pond think stuff should be universal and yeahhhh. And please dont be the one to go off the rails trying to say what something should because the rest of the world yadda yadda .... You just gonna come off as the stereotypical British douche... Had a few friends from Germany and the UK come over and they where telling me they don't understand why p

Word of advice, avoid the big name tourist traps in the south , there better then the north but still pretty lame . Don't be scared to stop and walk around small towns most are pretty friendly...if you have a molecule of self preservation you'll be able to know which ones aren't. Honestly though most of the South , even the bad parts are still pretty polite, hell I've been in some pretty bad spots and have just told someone " look bro I'm lost I'm not from around here could you show me where to go" lot of the times they'll get you out , especially if they know your foreign because they don't w

Damn that is some kinda heavy duty! Here some cage traps trigger mechanisms I use on mine that might help if you decide to build some more

Of course glad to share no tell.me more about your shrimp tanks ! Really want to add some shrimp to my system for cleaners but the lady at the pet shop advised against it lol

Wife just sent me these , about ten days in the system or so and they're doing good it seems

O yeah fish water is some crazy potent stuff ! Was actually selling bottles of the stuff from my outdoor tank for a while . And best part is these lil systems aren't super expensive at all.. $20 pump $30 worth of CPVC and fittings... And half of that went into the ball valves that are $8 a piece other then that's it's just a few 90°'d and three ways $7 concrete mixing pan $10 with of store bought gravel $20 grow light Already had the tank Already had the scrap would but it like $8 with of treated 2x4 Like lil over $100 ? Honestly could do one
-
Yep ! So basically the pump pumps the water into the grow bed 24/7 365. The pea grave is a porous medias the weather just seems though and around it . There this little clay balls people also use for the same .. forgot what they're called The white thing in the middle is called a bell siphon and when the water level gets to a certain point in the grow bed it causes the siphon to kick off and it completely drains the grow bed till its pretty dry and it sucks up enough air to stop the siphon effect. Water coming up to the point I want Siphon effect staring

O and also once you get one set up decent there SUPER low maintenance...though when you do need to work in them they can be a little bit of a pain .. for instance I finally decided to take a sampling out of my outdoor system and welllll

Welp had my first death yesterday, wife found this one dead doin her daily move , from what my quail expert buddy said he thinks it was probably the other male , not uncommon at all apparently which I had chickens do all the time other then that the rest are doin great

Didn't like hydro because you have to add the nutrients and what not . That and I like having fish. For me aquaponoics is a bit easier and more fun. Most people do hydro if they just want the best plants but I like the idea of I can keep some fish AND get some plants along with filtration and well...plants lol ! I mean even if it's just something as simple as some herbs . I've considered hydro but egh just misses a little something that aquaponoics gives

Bought a few of these tanks from a friend when she was downsizing her set up and they just been sitting around , wife said she wanted a lil deal for her s and the like so thought I'd make a new aquaponoics set up Nothing serious at all pea gravel media ,grow bed from a concrete mixing pan ,cheap little fountain pump , $20 grow light , scrap 2x4's some shiners and gold fish from the bait store. Currently growing a peppermint a cherry tomato and Tabasco pepper. Was gonna add a swirl filter on the back but decided against it.

Welp after seeing the lil tractor I made for my quail dad said he wanted something for his chickens ... No really Sure how it's gonna work out because he's kinda opposed to the idea of tractoring. He's more the " you need a pen and coop" type of guy. But asked me how much I would be to build him something, gave me the cash and well fished it up and dropped it off earlier . It's all pressure treated wood coated construction screws sides are all 1x.5" 14ga ( I think ) cage wire , the only real week point is the lid on the front that has a chicken wire top but I dot. Think it should be too big of

He's mainly a good. Hound guy all except one are coon hounds and that other one is a squirrel dog I think , he's a bluetick type of guy and I'll be honest I'm a bit ignorant when it comes to dogs start talking bout mixes and lineage and I'm just here like " .....yes that thing does look like it can tree a coon" But yeah old time houndsmen are pretty awesome to listen to, I'll have to find it but there a old head they got some interviews of who was a houndsmen who went after mountain lion and Jaguar down on the border back in the 30-70's ...dale lee might be his name ? Hell of a act
-
Well goes under it more then anything lol. He has all the floor boards gapped put a bit along with a space on the back side in from of the boxes . But yeah just goes on the rounds, most of his place does have a bit of a slant to the property so it will just roll downhill . And unfortunately no we haven't been able to do much lately, summer hits most houndsmen/dog runners down here stop , too many snakes , wasps, yellow jackets, then there the seasons for the various game o and he's got alligator where he loves that like to come inland off the river a bit .
-
Visited my houndsmen buddy for the first time in a few months, he finally finished up a kennel he been working on. Whole thing sits on sleds some he can hook up a chain and drag it around his property for whatever reasons. 9ga horse panel weld mesh oak floors , and sleeper boxes on the back of each enclosure each pen is 6'x10' ( or 8' can't quite remember) Said when he was finally able to actually just work on it took him about four days to weld it all up Idk though some might enjoy this ....or have fun picking it apart, either or

So ended up the the lady 3miles down the road from me actually raises a few different kinds of critters including quail ! Went and got 7 more 1 male and 6 females Lady said they have only ever been in elevated pens so they should love the tractor
-
Well apparently these lil guys don't roost just sleep on the ground wish I found odd but it's what they do apparently the back portion under the sheeting is elevated with a bit of a gap and ridge to keep woods having there as bedding if they want that and to keep them off the ground when it gets wet . As far as predators..I haven't seen any come close to the yards in years ...think we had a possum stroll though a few years back ...but when you have three free running dogs, one of which chases and kills every small and furry within about a half mile radius well... Bit of a non issue

Welp been working on the quail tractor for most of the day not gonna lie is 3a.m, I'm just finishing it up for the most part.....and I'm starting to think I should have just made these easier box design but hay been wanting and A frame for a while ... Not shit for a carpenter but think it's half decent

Well dad about gave me a heart attack just now came banging on my bedroom window to wake me up ( usually dont get up till like ten first few days I'm home) asked me if I wanted a quail ...then proceeded to just hand me a hamster cage with a singular quail... Apparently something happened with the way they tried penning them and ...yeah I got this guy..... girl.... whatever I'm not the best at identifying the bits and bobs on birds ... Think it's a girl tho ,no stand out plumage or anything.... So guess it's time to build a quail tractor ...and get on Facebook and try and find some one sel
