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, and the sort of things that will be covered are below. If you like this information you might also want to purchase the Australian Farmer's Practical Handbook , an old book that contains all this and more. You can download the book for $5.00, a great bargain!

Fences
Tarring Wire Netting
Erecting a Windmill
Measuring a Haystack

Making a Pack Saddle

Simple Feed Box

Rope Knots
Rope Splicing

So you see these tips are mostly 'how to' and I hope you find them both useful and entertaining.
