While its a brilliant piece of engineering I am not sure it will actually help the bees. For the beek it will be expensive but for the bees it...
Not too sure gravity feeding is such a problem these days with cheap solar pumps. Why not just collect the water and pump it into a small header...
While we need carbon sinks we also need to fully utilise the resources we have extracted and this is an example. If the rubbish was not used for...
Why don't you just bite the bullet and reconfigure your garden into two narrow gardens so you don't have to walk on it? End of problem.
Looks more like a jar of paint than honey.........
No idea why it candies so quickly but its a nice honey and if its warmed enough to make it runny again it tends to stay runny for quite a while....
Yeh, the drought is really messing up lots of things, the bees included. Add monoculture crops and its a real mess. Your mate will fine the honey...
No wonder they are stroppy! Imagine if you had to only live on spuds, you would not be a happy chappy. I have hives at Narrabri, Mudgee and the...
Can't edit the above post so will add some here. One of my peeves is that the top bar hives are sold as "natural" and better than vertical, framed...
We have hives in the Blue Mountains and out west.
Good, if somewhat old thread, but I have one point to make. The box makes no difference to the bees, its how you handle them so a HTBH, Warre or...
I would say, Yes, so you are using it as a green manure crop.
You don't have to move fences much at all. Once you have run your electric fences just put a gateway in them so you can treat them like a normal...
I reckon my reply has been "auto filled" :) I would basically put it anywhere that gets good sun and has a water supply. My point was not to rush...
So long as it can rip at least 12" it will make keylines but that is a big ask for a garden level machine. Cheers Rob.
Welcome to the forum. I will watch this one with interest as its soooo different to my area. The first thing I would do is to go to the fridge,...
I don't reckon a ride on would be up to the task. Keylining needs deep ripping so you need some grunt, even for a single tyne. Maybe you would be...
Seen this before and it still looks great. As they demonstrate it's a great way to put up emergency accommodation but I wonder if you could use it...
Backs up our decision to run with Keyline even to the extent of buying a Yeomans Plough for our place. Better to have the water in the ground than...
However you look at this you are growing a crop and you want all the available nutrients to go to the crop. There is nothing wrong with weeding a...
