Farming Tips
I guess you might ask quite reasonably, what in the blazes am I doing offering farming tips on a camping site! Well quite truthfully, I simply couldn't resist given my agricultural background.
It is not my intention to advise practical people:) Those who have lived and worked on the land have possibly picked up many of these tips during their life experience.
I would strongly advise anyone without experience not to start farming until they have at least four to five years on a place where farming is carried on commercially. However, many people are likely to be hobby farmers and the information might just prove useful. While all information does date, the principles of; innovation and resourcefulness don't!
This is a work in progress, but the sort of things that will be covered are:
Fences
Tarring Wire Netting
Erecting a Windmill
Measuring a Haystack
Making a Wool Table
Age of Sheep
Sheep Feeding Troughs
Bale Hooks
Throwing a Horse
Age of A Horse
Making a Pack Saddle
Harness and Saddle Rack
Simple Feed Box
Cheap Gates
Rope Knots
Rope Splicing
Ground Level
Curing Bacon
Making Whiskey
Making a Paint Brush
Soap Making
Camping and Trapping
So you see these tips are mostly 'how to' and I hope you find them both useful and entertaining.
