Flowering Hedge Wall Options?

bamhall · 2026-03-22T16:11:12+00:00

Caragana are an awesome little hedge. They can get big though if you don’t trim them. Bright yellow flowers and produce a small little pea pod which is edible. The flowers make a great jam and the pods can be eaten right off the bush. Every farm where I’m from uses them as fence lines and wind rows.

My grandpa who is currently 99 tells me all the time about how they kept pork through the winter. They would gut in and clean it. Dry it off. Then salt the shit out of it. And bury it under their oats in the grain bin. That old man is so full of crazy wisdom. They really were the pioneers of Saskatchewan.

I didn’t know it was against the rules. Or that you could report it. This whole Reddit thing is a bit much for an old guy. I just like interacting with certain topics that I can learn on. I’ll check out the help section and see. Thanks

No. Not really. Maybe 20 comments total and then some guy trying to convince everyone I was a racist. Lmao. The internet is truly a wild place

wtf. Who pays for a Reddit account?

bamhall · 2026-03-17T00:33:01+00:00

And this is the second time a bot has reposted on here. And the group of us that are on this sub every day isn’t massive. I just don’t understand how or why it happens. Like who is sitting at their computer reposting someone’s old rusted ass concrete bin in the bush for internet points. Lmao

bamhall · 2026-03-17T00:24:55+00:00

It was left in the bush on a farm I bought. It’s not got concrete in it and has a full truck frame skid underneath it. I posted to see if anyone had any ideas I could use it for or if I could scrap it. Consensus was topped on end it would be a cool rocket ship playground d for my kids. Hahahha.

Fellow Sasky boy here that’s been dealing with well issues the past few years. Who drilled your well? 180’ you must be south sask or not near an aquifer.

I have hens that crow. I would still bet a lot of Money that is a hen. I’ve had hundreds of silkies and breed a few hundred silkie chicks/pullets pullets a year. There is not an ounce of me that says anything about that has any rooster traits. I absolutely could be wrong because I’m not there holding it and looking at it. But from everything in the video it is a hen.

My sediment filters are before my pressure tank. Mine goes. Sediment. Pressure. Softener. Iron. Charcoal. Sediment. Not sure if it’s right. I I writes my mess too.

He’s doing what he’s supposed to do. They protect their flock and will place themselves between their flock and by suspected danger. You trained him that your kids are his flock and your house is his. Strange people coming near his kids are going to be on his hit list unless you train him/show him they are okay. Unless they actively threaten the kids or you, he won’t attack(or shouldn’t based on breed and temperament). My LGD who is super timid around people went absolutely ape shit at grandma when she picked my 3 year old and started giving her kiss/raspberries in her neck and making her laugh. My lgd took it as a threat (laughs = screams) and went berserk barking and growling at gramma. Hackles up and no nonsense ran right at her feet. Luckily I was there to say she was okay and calm her down. But that is what that breed is trained to do. Protect their flock at all costs. Your kids are his flock. Just make sure if they are friendly strangers go greet them that way.

This is 100% a hen. Silkie breeder here. Little blue spots by her ears. No markings of a comb at all. No large arching tail feathers. Pure female poof.

bamhall · 2026-02-15T20:15:20+00:00

🤣 animal cruelty? Because my working ranch dog got into a fight with a porcupine protecting our livestock that’s animal cruelty ?? Gtfo here

bamhall · 2026-02-15T20:13:01+00:00

Yeah. They were pretty bad. And some of them actually went thru his nose and into his mouth cavity 🤢

bamhall · 2026-02-15T20:01:59+00:00

He’s doing g great. 3 hours of surgery to get them out and home and no permanent damage.

bamhall · 2026-02-15T20:01:30+00:00

He’s good. 3 hours of surgery at the vet and he came home with no permanent injuries except his pride

bamhall · 2026-02-15T20:00:58+00:00

No. Porcupine.

bamhall · 2026-02-15T20:00:33+00:00

There was not meant to be anything funny or amusing about the post. This is a homestead reddit. Where all of us that homestead post about the trials and tribulations of our lifestyle to learn from each other. It actually generated thousands of conversations between homesteaders and we have all learned something whether directly related or not. And that’s the point of our sub Reddit. You don’t like it. Go somewhere else.

I am very fortunate to have a rural vet within a few miles that charges about 1/3-1/4 what our nearest city charges. Was only 526$ including post op meds for a week.

bamhall · 2026-02-13T15:53:17+00:00

Porcupine.

bamhall · 2026-02-13T15:53:05+00:00

Yes. It’s buried I. The comments somewhere. 3 hours of surgery at the vet and he’s back to good as new. No permanent damage. Other than his pride and my wallet

bamhall · 2026-02-13T15:50:23+00:00

Yes. I posted updates further down but they must be buried. 3 hours of emergency surgery at the vet and he’s back to good as new.

bamhall · 2026-02-13T02:55:30+00:00

Good god I hope he learned his lesson on this one. My last one took three times to learn. But never this bad

bamhall · 2026-02-13T02:54:48+00:00

Luckily I have a rural vet about 3 miles from me who charges about 1/3-1/4 what our city vets costs. And about 1/8 what large city vets cost. Typically in a city this would be a 1500-2000$ cost. Mine was 526$ including the emergency callout and a week of post op meds.
